Sen. Lieberman is holding firm...

...and he knows that by doing so he might get tossed aside in 2012.

I find Sen. Lieberman refreshing, and someone who appears comfortable not simply siding with one political party because he's supposed to. It certainly took some form political conviction to show up at the 2008 Republican National Convention, where he endorsed the presidential bid of his long-time friend and Senate colleague, John McCain.

Now, Lieberman is tweaking Democrats again, telling them that any attempt to force through the so-called "public option" into a health-care reform bill will lead him to filibuster it.

My politics find me firmly entrenched on the conservative side, but I’ve got much respect for Senator Lieberman. He impresses me as a politician who follows what he sincerely believes to be the best for the country rather than the best for a certain political team.
