WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Sen. Joe Lieberman attacked liberal Democrats Sunday and warned against embracing the "failed solutions of the past."
Lieberman, who's seeking his party's nomination for president, launched one of his harshest attacks against candidate Howard Dean during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
Lieberman said Dean's popularity is rising among Democrats because he has been able tap into anger aimed at President Bush.
"I share the anger, but, ultimately, to govern this country, it takes more than anger," he said. "It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people."
Lieberman said Dean's plan to repeal Bush's tax cuts "would mean an increase in taxes on everybody, including middle class and working families."
He said Dean's ideas "are out of tune with what America needs today."
Lieberman said the United States must continue its military strength and scale back spending.
