Lieberman's Friends

So apparently Lieberman's ground game will be coordinated by some interesting groups.
Sherry Brown, who took over as Mr. Lieberman's campaign manager last month, said her team needed new ways to identify and mobilize voters beyond using the traditional lists of registered voters that the parties use to plan turnout strategy. The citizen committees are one idea; she also said the senator would rely more than usual on assistance from unions, environmentalists and other groups that have endorsed him, such as the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce? Wow. I suppose this is the same group that wants to gut the Family Medical Leave Act and overtime pay, opposes a minimum wage increase, lobbied for the Bankruptcy Bill, supports Health Savings Accounts (otherwise known as the end of health insurance), and my personal favorite, denies global warming. This is from their site, 'Straight Talk About Climate Change'.
Just as CO2 emissions caps loom, debate rages on about climate change. Is global warming occurring? A new Harvard study says no. Will CO2 emissions caps in the U.S. decrease global emissions? Probably not, if developing countries continue to increase emissions.
Ah, friendship.
