Republicans spent millions on Lieberman
Under a plan devised by Bush political guru Karl Rove, Republicans
funneled millions of dollars into the primary campaign of Democrat Joe
Lieberman, a conservative online magazine reports.
Reports Insight, a magazine that is part of the Moonie-owned
Washington Times:

The White House funneled millions of dollars through major Republican
Party contributors to Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s primary campaign in a
failed effort to ensure the support of the former Democrat for the
Bush administration.
A senior GOP source said the money was part of Deputy White House
Chief of Staff Karl Rove's strategy to maintain a Republican majority
in the Senate in November.
The source said Mr. Rove, together with Republican National Committee
Chairman Ken Mehlman, directed leading pro-Bush contributors to donate
millions of dollars to Mr. Lieberman's campaign for re-election in
Connecticut in an attempt that he would be a "Republican-leaning"
senator.
"Joe [Lieberman] took the money but said he would not play ball," the
source said.
"That doesn't mean that this was a wasted investment."

Would not play ball? If ya believe that, I would like to offer you
sole ownership of the Brooklyn Bridge for a modest sum.
