Some may know of the old advertising slogan "I'd Walk a Mile for a Camel." Well, how's this for a political ad: "I'd Walk Three Miles to Support a Stupid War":
Lieberman is a strong adherent to his Orthodox Jewish faith. He does not work on the Sabbath, which begins at sundown Friday and ends at sundown Saturday. If an important Senate vote fell on the Sabbath, Lieberman would walk three miles to cast his vote. He never campaigns on the Sabbath and regularly misses Connecticut's state Democratic nominating convention, even when he is a candidate, because it falls on the Sabbath. He supports allowing a moment of silence in public schools.
Joe Lieberman wouldn't campaign for President on the Sabbath. Fine, I have absolutely no problem with that, and I respect anyone who abides by what they believe are the obligations of their religious faith. But isn't it revealing that Joe Lieberman wouldn't campaign to win the presidency on the Sabbath, but a few minutes ago--remember, it is the Sabbath--Lieberman voted against cloture in the Senate and thus against permitting a vote on a resolution repudiating the President's plan for a military surge in Baghdad, a strategy which is supported by almost nobody except a few neocon and Republican dead-enders?.
Oh well, I guess one might say that sooner or later he was going to have to vote to say he believes in George Bush and Dick Cheney's war. When it comes to affirming your support for more death and destruction and damage to our national security, if not now, when?
