why is Kerry dirtying himself by appearing with Lieberman in Fl. ?

[rockymountaindem]

1. Because he's trying to get the whole party behind him?

Big tent, you know. Not everyone hates Lieberman.

[Hav]

9. no shit

Btw, I was just told to greet Halle Burton by my wife, Ann Ron.

2. Lieberman is popular in Fla, and reminds them of ElectionTheft2000

Also, Gore avoided campaigning with Clinton in order to avoid "dirtying" himself. Now, Gore is a very clean private citizen.

You've taken purist thought to a whole new level

[donsu]

8. but is it true? Is Lieb really liked in Fl. ?

14. OY vey!

No, it's not true. I only said "Lieberman is popular in Fla" because I'm a real kidder. The truth is that Gore picked Lieberman because Lieberman isn't popular anywhere.

3. The Jewish voters are important to the election. eom

[kalian]

12. And plenty of Jews in FL....

they need to group them under the same banner as Kerry...

Unfortunately, it would suck if Kerry decides on LIEberman as his
running mate... :eyes:

[napi21]

4. Because there are Lieberman supporters in Fla. and across this country.

If all you do is play to your base, YOU'LL LOSE!

5. the DNC

and their backing of the war (must be strong on defense). Too bad smart decisions aren't considered strong in this country.

[still_one]

6. Because a President represents EVERYONE

not like the neocon Republicans!

[bmbmd]

11. I think that leaders

are supposed to lead. High time we have a leader who includes others in his tent.

[demnan]

7. I don't see anything wrong with campaigning

with the devil if it will help him defeat Bush.

[madrchsod]

10. votes

but the voters are going to vote for george now that sharon and him cut the deal-votes for george and money for sharon.

[Beacho]

13. Why?

Why is it that it's Lieberman that 'represents the Jews' for the Democratic Party?

Why not Schumer?

Holy Joe needs to go

[sangh0]

15. Thanks for telling us who the acceptable Jew is

Not having a Pope to tell us complicates things. We're lucky to have you.

[KoKo]

17. Why not Shumer? Why is Joe the one?

[sangh0]

18. Because Schumer will be Kerry's VP

and they don't want you to get too excited about it and blab on DU

:evilgrin:

[AP]

16. Because he wants to win FL.

Joe was extremely popular with a specific demographic in FL (which is why Gore picked him to be VP in 2000).

It looks like Kerry wants to win FL.

Good for him.

[Beacho]

19. Uh, sangho

I was asking a question not making an assertion

This is all symbolic dog and pony bullshit anyway.

to infer that I was assigning a leader to jews is a tough stretch.
