4. The title is deceptive

Lieberman is a moderate and I respect that.

I probably won't vote for him (volunteering for Dean) but I'll take him over Bush any day.

5. That's normal for this board

Edited on Wed Aug-06-03 12:14 AM by jiacinto

If you stay here long enough you will find out that Lieberman is:

a racist,
a homophobe,
A Republican,
A Nazi,
Beholden to Israel,
A war criminal,
A conservative,
Anti-Civil Rights,
Anti-Gay,
Anti-Labor,
Part of the religious right,
Evil,
Satan,
The Anti-Christ,
Someone who prefers Israrel to America,
A conservative,
A DINO,
and many other terms I can't remember.

Even though the facts clearly disprove the worst and the most sensational of these allegations they matter little to the Lieberman haters, who dislike him for reasons not connected to his politics.

6. Not all Lieberman Haters...

"dislike him for reasons not connected to his politics."

His politics are precisely why I dislike him. He made his own bed, now let him stay strapped in it.

12. strange that you should post this...

Lieberman and his dinos have been saying the same things about liberals in the party. People like Dean and Kucinich have each been labeled...

A loser,
Unelectable,
A McGovernik,
A Nazi,
enemy of Israel,
Weak on security,
A communist,
Anti-majority,
Anti-Family,
Anti-Business,
Evil,
Satan,
The Anti-Christ,
Someone who prefers Terrorists to America,
A socialist,
A radical,
and many other terms I can't remember.

But remember that mudslinging is a two-way street. And as Jesus said "he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone..."

8. Lieberman is a Repug-lite. Not a moderate at all

Lieberman did jack shit when the DEMs were in control.
The Lieberman ENRON 'invetsigation' was - do nothing.

Lieberman fought against banking regulations that would
close the giant off shore corporation scams.

Lieberman is a moderate Republican, who calls himself a Democrat.

IF you still think Lieberman is a REAL DEMOCRAT - fine, BUT
he is a extreme right-wing "Democrat".

He's not even as "moderate" as Nixon was.
Nixon was for universal healthcare.
Nixon was for protecting the environment, and did exactly that,
not just talk.

Being so pro-Bush, and pro-war, LIEberman might as well
switch parties to another Repug corporate whore that he is.

10. And don't forget the 2000 election

He actually got out there and started sabotaging Gore's case in court with his comments.

Un f-ing believable.

11. Typical distortions

But I won't even bother because, like most of the Lieberman haters, you will ignore the real facts.

However, when it comes to Liebeman, the facts matter little.
