Reply #66: I dont believe Lieberman is a religious fraud..... [View All]

[chefgirl]

I think Lieberman is a true believer, in the same way that Justice Roy Moore is a true believer.
It doesnt matter to me one bit WHAT someone's religion is. What bothers me about Lieberman is that he portrays himself as nothing so much as he is religious, which in his case happens to be Jewish.
When Al Gore named him as the VP nominee, I must admit that the only thing I really knew about Lieberman was that he was vociferous in his condemnation of President Clinton during the impeachment hearings. I thought then that it was in bad form for him to do that, but I was willing to give him a measure of respect for standing up for what he believed in, regardless of the collective position of his fellow Dems.
As the 2000 campaign rolled along, however, it seemed that ALL I ever heard from Lieberman was how religious he was, and how because of his faith, he supported certain ideas that I couldnt agree with as a Democrat.
For that reason, and no other, I dont believe Lieberman (or anyone who insists on wearing their religiosity on their sleeve) should hold any position in the government of these United States, least of all the office of the Presidency.
