Reply #87: A politician is not just his or her votes

[Khephra]

It amazes me that this has to be told to the Lieberman supporters time and time again, but it's just easier to repeat that we're anti-Jewish.

Other than his voting record...which IS Liberal leaning...IN GENERAL...Lieberman has done the following:

-- Attacked the entertainment industry moralistically, just like a member of the Religious Right. Some of us won't take that crap from Falwell's crew, and I'm sure as HELL not going to take it from someone on my "home team" and be told to like it. This is a very conservative stance of his, and some of us care about artistic freedom, so don't belittle us by thinking it's all about playing Grand Theft Auto or some other crap like that -- it's about freedom of speech and anyone, be it liberal Democrat or Conservative Republican who attacks Freedom of speech under the guise of promoting morals in this country IS MY ENEMY as a writer.

-- he moralistically joined in with the Republicans in declaring that Clinton's actions were ruining the morality of the country (there's that MORALITY word again...some of us don't' look for that out of candidates, but from our Priests and Clergy, ok?)

-- He helped undercut the negotiations on the Iraq Resolution.




There's THREE MAJOR REASONS for not liking Lieberaman that have nothing to do with him being Jewish.

But I'm afraid that all you "You're Anti-Lieberman because you're anti-Jewish" posters won't get that through your skulls.

Some of us have been shouting our non-religious reasons to you long enough now that there's no way you haven't heard us. You're just ignoring us and playing the "Oh pity us, the masses are against us because of our candidate's religion" card.


I'm tired of being insulted and called a religious bigot when the Pro-Lieberman people are stereotyping people themselves.
