how much of conceding is conceding when in fact you tell your opponent,
"we are not through...we will face each other AGAIN in November"?

3. Too bad he didn't do that in 2000
when 1000's of voters were disenfranchised. He couldn't wait to concede then.

5. could he have wanted to hand the presidency to bush?
a nefarious thought, albeit, a possible one? wonder if poppy has offered him something in exchange for his support of sonny.

6. He sure acted like that during the debates
The Cheney/Lieberman debate was more like a discussion between two friends. Lieberman couldn't have been more 'agreeable'.

11. LIEberman was one of the major reasons why...
I didn't support the Gore ticket in 2000. Although I now regret voting for Nader; I don't regret not support LIEberman. I'm sure that Gore feels some embarrassment. There were other, qualified and credible VP running mates. I'm interested in hearing where Gore stands now, especially as an anti-war objector.

2. He did not concede
all he did was show everyone who was watching that he is an ungracious self interested opportunist. It's all about him - to hell with the party or the feelings of the electorate.

7. it is really incredible how narcississtic some of these politicians are!
lieberman among them...i mean, he couldn't wait one second to hit that senate floor and berate and debase clinton for his monica lewinsky affair...as if lieberman was GOD himself...and even GOD, i heard a priest say once, forgives sexual sins a dime a dozen. other things, the priest said, are not as easy to forgive.

12. He will meet a fitting end to his
political career. He is loyal to Joe and his lobby group.

13. bitter medicine
I hate to spoil the fun , but Lieberman losing could be bad for us. Since the vote was sooooo close, and since repukes know their guy cant win, Liebers 48% plus the repukes vote guarantees a Lamont loss in November. I hate to say it, but I think its true. Then Lieberman, with no ties and only malice towards democrats, will caucus with the repukes. Then WE LOSE> bleech !

Also, PLEASE STOP dissing Jews. Its antisemetic, and could cause them to support the repukes. !!!!

14. Why are you here...
except to cut and paste the same message into multiple threads and and accuse someone of dissing Jews who didn't even mention Jews? You have also been copying and pasting RNC faxes into threads. Is there some reason you think we need this information? We know what slop the RNC comes up with; it's a variation of the slop they've been dishing for years.
