Joe Lieberman supports Bush's stance in the Iraq War. The Iraq War is a big issue and that is why Democrats didnt vote for him.
Smaller issues dont matter as much for parties, such as Maine's govenor who supports women's rights, Republicans who support gay rights, Democrats who support off-shore drilling, and so forth. These are minor issues that wont make or break an election (unless its very close).
Big voter issues are things like the Iraq War and the economy. If you go against your party there, you have little chance of coming out of a primary.
