Joseph Lieberman, Man of the Inside Party

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

79% : Bill Clinton and Al Gore were among the champions of this new movement, and the Clinton-Gore ticket would win both presidential elections of the 1990s.
53% : In his first two years in office, while his party controlled Congress, President Clinton pursued left-wing policies on every front, from the FACE Act, which restricted the free speech and assembly rights of pro-life protesters, to gun control, gays in the military, and socialized medicine ("Hillarycare").
42% : Military adventurism, crony capitalism, and "character" as a quality that could spellbind social conservatives without inconveniencing social liberals -- this was the Lieberman formula, and it's still employed today, not least by those ex-conservatives who invoke "character" as their justification for siding with the party of the cultural left over the party of Donald Trump.
