HARTFORD, Conn. — Former Connecticut Gov. Lowell Weicker (javascript:siteSearch('Lowell Weicker');) said Monday that Sen. Joe Lieberman (javascript:siteSearch('Sen. Joe Lieberman');) deserves a stiff challenge in his bid for re-election next year -- but it won't come from Weicker.
Despite some speculation to the contrary, Weicker said he would not run against Lieberman, a Democrat who ousted him from the Senate in 1988. That, however, didn't stop him from attacking the incumbent.
Speaking at a Rotary Club luncheon, Weicker sharply criticized Lieberman and President Bush over the Iraq war.
"I have seen this country propagandized into war," said Weicker, a Republican-turned-independent. "It's now a second wave of propagandizing, with the president taking the stump, joined by persons like Senator Joe Lieberman."
Lieberman, an early supporter of the war in Iraq, has drawn condemnation from some liberal Democrats in Connecticut for his position and blamed it for his loss in the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries.
Weicker said he disagrees completely with the position Lieberman has taken on the war: "The nation does not need a Democrat to second the president's policy."
Lieberman said in a statement that he is "accustomed to having opponents, and I look forward to putting my record before the Connecticut voters again next year."
