"Lieberman wants to take your violent video games away"

[ButterflyBlood]

now too many people were stupid enough to think that Gore was going to take their guns away, even though he never said anything that would even hint at that idea. If that's the case, why wouldn't anyone believe the topic sentence when Lieberman's said a lot more hinting at that fact that Gore did for guns? Don't you think that there was enough person who refused to vote for Gore because they thought that? If Gore wanted to increase Jewish turnout in Florida, he could've went with someone far better like Wellstone or Feingold (which also would've mobilized the progressive voters more, and probably get a few votes back from Ralph) or just go with Graham.

in a way, you can blame Lieberman for Chimpy, if he wasn't a stupid fucking moral crusader, more people wouldn't of had problems voting for the ticket.

add on: being moral crusaders is the Republicans' job. All Democrats should shut up altogether all violence and sex in the media. It would increase turnout among young people. This is the issue a lot of my friends care about most, so why should they vote if both parties' have the same stance?

1. I'll be honest with you it was hard for me to vote for Gore....

Strictly because he had Leiberman on the ticket. Not only did I find Joe's moralizing and injection of his religion into everything utterly offensive, but I thought Gore selecting him in the first place was the worst kind of political pandering to conservative constituencies and trying to placate the anti-Clinton crowd.

2. ...

The violent video games shit is ridiculous. I've played them for years, and I'm not any closer to killing anyone. In fact, it's generally a stress-reliever.

[Touchdown]

7. Me neither...

but I'm ready if any brain sucking aliens come down to THIS planet and try to destroy my little yellow dot eaters.

18. That's briliant

War and rape are OK for kids to see but video games are awful. And sadly it's not far from the truth. What should happen in the first panel is that the father should pick up a game with the kid.

3. I didn't vote for Gore in 2000.

While banning my porn and my violent video games wasn't the straw the camel's back as a younger voter, I certainly took stuff like this into account. Lieberman gives the impression that he would really crack down on these industries, even if he does not explicitly say it.

4. exactly, i couldn't vote in 2000, but if I could

I would've definately voted for Nader, and this wasn't the only reason, but probably the main one. In fact if it was the same ticket in 2004 I probably still would refuse to vote for it, but only because I lived in North Dakota, a state Gore had no chance in anyway. Living in Minnesota now I'll vote for whoever the Dem candidate is, no matter how sickening it'll be, or even if it requires getting plastered afterwords to dull the pain.

5. He also placed blame on Marylin Manson

when the massascre at Columbine happened ...

10. A Bustamante victory in California will boost Lieberman's candidacy

Bustamante is very fond of Lieberman. Bustamante has said that Lieberman has paid attention to him and his issues while everyone else has ignored him. This is what Bustamante said in answer to a question regarding his chairing the California Lieberman for President campaign.

I am not saying this to disparate Bustamante, but I do want all of you Lieberman critics (of which I am one) to realize that Lieberman is in for the long haul, and that he is counting on having support in places such as a California under a Governor Bustamante to get a lot of votes and delegates.

I rather have a Dean or a Kucinich run against Lieberman, with Kerry dropping out. Nothing crystalizes issues better than to offer the voters a clear choice. Lieberman offers such a choice. A candidate like Senator Waffle, on the other hand, offers no real choices for no one knows where he stands on the issues (particularly the war).

11. when's the California primary?

I bet it's after LIEberMAN is out

[IndianaGreen]

12. March 2, 2004 is the California primary, same date as Georgia and NY

the race could still be undecided by the time it gets to Indiana in May.

[ButterflyBlood]

15. it'll probably be Dean vs. Kerry though

I don't think Holy Joe will last long after he gets clobbered in Iowa and New Hampshire.

[Robin Hood]

13. Take away violent video games, but vote for a televised illegal war.

What an idiot. Thanks for playing Joe, It's time to get off the stage.

[ButterflyBlood]

17. yeah seriously

simulated violence = BAD BAD BAD
real violence = perfectly OK

explain this Holy Joe.

21. video games are more realistic that the sanitized war

of course the TV war that Lieberman and the rest voted to authorize Bush to conduct was sanitized. At least some of the video games show more reality of war, with bodies getting maimed, blown up, shot, as well as all sorts of blood and death.

In the TV war, all this part of reality was not even shown for the most part. They don't show the wounded young soldiers. They don't show the wounded soldiers with loss of limbs, pyshciatric problems, suicidal, etc. They don't show the dead soldier's coffins coming back to the U.S. They don't show the dead soldiers' funerals. They don't interview the dead soldiers' families anymore.

And, that's not even half of it. They don't even show or even care about all the dead innocent Iraqi civilians that were dying under those bombs that were being dropped that provided a fireworks show for viewers and ratings for the networks.

No wonder they want to ban video games. They are more realistic and truthful than what you see on network news and cable.

just leave me doax, outlaw golf and bmx xxx. :)

16. Well, I guess I'd vote for him if it came down to it but there isn't a

shekel of difference between Holy Joe and Whistle-ass, really.
:grr:

[olmy]

19. Him and Bennett should hook up some time...relax...give it up.

[Bryan]

22. Careful, now

Yer gonna get people dragging out Lieberman's mostly lib voting record again. I can now remember more about Joe voting record over the last four years than I can about my own... :)

But, strictly speaking, they're right. The problem with Lieberman isn't that he's no different from Bush; it's that he's not different enough.

20. "From my cold, dead hands" :-)

sorry - I got carried away.

I don't have any video games

23. I'll use this thread to support my vow to lighten up on Joe.
