Thread Name: BS: McCain/Lieberman Vs. Clinton/Obama?
Subject: RE: BS: McCain/Lieberman Vs. Clinton/Obama?
Folks. McCain/Lieberman IS going to happen. There is a neighbor on my block who is a multi millionaire real estate magnate. He is a close personal friend of Lieberman and has hosted a fundraiser for him in his home during his last senatorial campaign. I saw him in synagogue last week and he told me that the deal was made for Lieberman to be VP on the ticket before he started campaigning for McCain in Florida. As a practicing Orthodox Jew, Lieberman will be able to win over the right wing conservatives because his views on morality and family values coincide with theirs.
Also, Orthodox Jews will not accept any ticket with Obama on it, even if Hillary is at the top. They see him as an enemy and a danger to the state of Israel because of his association with the arch anti-semite, Rev.Jeremiah Wright and his strong Muslim ties. Orthodox Rabbis have already been mobilizing their congregations against Obama's candidacy. They will even go so far as to proclaim a day of public fasting and prayer should Obama in fact be the Democratic nominee. SOL
