Did Joe Lieberman convert?
Is he a Jew for Jesus now? Does anyone know? And what bizarre practice does Karl Rove belong to?

7. I don't think he did.
But he wouldn't get people to follow him just because he is Jewish. Thats the same as women voting for Palin because she is female. There are issues involved, not just group identity.

11. My father was a baptist minister and I grew up in his churches.
I quit going to church when I turned 18, and except for rare occasions have been church free since then. But in a moment of weakness, and trying to do what was best for my children (under pressure from my then husband), I joined a baptist church in the 1980s. I have never taken my name off their books, but hope they have since I haven't been back in almost twenty years. Anyway, the point is that if asked what religion I am, I do not say I am a christian/protestant/baptist because I am none of these things since I do not fit into their pigeon hole. Thus I would say that lieberman is of no religion because he does not follow their teachings as far as I can see. Lying and betrayal are big no nos in most religions, although many people that claim to be religious do just that daily. But saying you are something does not make you that.

lieberman belongs to a group that is called Jewish. That does not mean that he practices their on anyone else's religion. And none of us has any way of knowing what he claims to be, much less what he actually is. On no, take that back, he belongs to the scumbag sect of the lying deuce bags.

I don't think Lieberman is being a hypocrite

Rove-he's the center of his own twisted universe

21. you cannot faithfully practice a religion
and do what he has done. Read up on Judaism and get back to me. I don't know much about it but doubt that you will find it is okay to do some of the things he is doing at this time. Lying, betrayal and doing these things for your own gain (financially or politically) are usually not things that religious teachings include.

I don't personally believe in organized religions, and have to say that when you read most of the rules that are in the basic parts of religious teachings they do not include what I see a lot of "religious people" doing today. Religion today is a farce, something some use to get what they want and to influence others. That does not mean they are truthful in what they say they believe, and that makes them hypocrites. Example: one claims to be a Christian but does not follow the recorded teachings of Jesus, then they are not Christians. No matter how many churches they go to or even preach in. As far as I am concerned there are no 'sort of' when it comes to religion.

30. I'm not a Jew
I have never been a Jew; I don't think that Lieberman is a bad Jew

find a rabbi that will say he is and I'll agree with you but until then, I don't think he is a bad Jew

22. I really don't know what church or denomination. I heard Joe Wilson mention it
a few times. Same church, different services.

You know he's not caucusing with the Dems any more.

14. Probably after all he flipped on his political party when
the people of my state kicked him out of the party, so why not flip his religion. After all that is what he is best at.

20. do Jews (or anyone)
for that matter actually listen to Lieberman or respect him? I honestly want to know---are there any Lieberman fans left after his traitorous turn coat performance for the repubs? We need to get him out of office.

24. A lot of Jews like him
Do take this seriously peeps. Does anyone know? I mean we know he is a bastard but he pulls a following of Jews. We need to know. I mean, if his affiliation is now Jews For Christ, well then, big problem for Jews. Big time.

31. Joementum's A Likudnik...
He's orthodox and a strong supporter of the Likud...the Israeli equivelent of the right wing...who believe that the West Bank is a part of Israel...Judea (Israel proper) and Summaria (the West Bank) and this is not as religious as it is tactical. These people believe that the Palestinians have their own state, Jordan and that Israels control of Summaria is both a biblical prophecy and a strategic right.

He's definitely not Jews For Jesus, I'll get into them in a second. He became good buddies with some of the fundies for their support over Israel...Hagee is a perfect example. He tries to ignore the Armageddon aspect of their mantra...seeing their political support as critical in ensuring that his Lukidnik pals...such as Bibi Netenyahu...get support and funding. It's truly an "unholy alliance" that Joementum has sold out both his state and his country is his diehard support for Likud and their vision of an Israel that includes the West Bank (and many still claim the Sinai as well).

Jews for Jesus are a different group...one that many Jews, such as myself, believe is an attempt by certain xtian denominations to convert Jews using the tricks that claim that Jesus is the "true messiah"...and thus somehow you can be both Jewish and a Christian. It's evolved since the 70s into a group that is shunned by all major Jewish denominations. Palin's church hosted the head of this group earlier this year and her pastor has spoken about Jews burning in hell if they don't convert. Trust me, the word is getting out big time in the Jewish community and it's not good for either the repugnicans or Lieberman.

TraitorJoe is disgrace to most American Jews...especially with his embracing of the Hagees and their ilk who see the Dominionists as a serious threat. I expect Palin will be a big issue in Florida. Overall I see Senator Obama getting 80% or more of the Jewish vote.

25. He Is An Practicing Orthodox Jew
As a result, he has a strong bias toward Israel. This bias leads him to favor policies that favor Israel, even if it is not in the interest of America. In the Presidential debates in 2004,Governor Dean made a mild statement that our policy in Palestine should be more evenhanded. Liebermann immediately jumped on this statement saying that the two sides should settle it between themselves. That is why he was a strong supporter of war in Iraq, and wants us to have a tough stance against Iran or anyone else He percieves as opposing Israel. That is why Ned Lamont decided to run against him in 2006, and defeated him in the Democratic primary. He ran as an Independent, an won with the combination of Repubican voters and some Democrats
