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.

Rabbi,

The above post is very disturbing to me. Do you have an proof that Rev Wright is an "arch anti-semite" And what do you mean by that?

What is wrong with "Strong Muslim ties?" Are you saying that it is somehow evil to simply be Muslim?

Also do you realize that Lieberman would bring very little support to the ticket that McCain does not have on his own. McCain can get one of those little first debate Bush boxes on his back to whisper corrections in his ear rather than having Lieberman do so in such a public and embarrassing manner.
