Ärende: Lieberman and OBL
=========================
-=> Quoting Bob Klahn to Frank Scheidt <=-

 BK>>>  No political party stabbed Lieberman in the back.
 FS>
 RW>> That's not what the press is saying.
 
 BK>> The press has gotten too much in the habit of kissing Bush's
 BK>> butt.
 
 FS> Huh?  Bob must live in a different nation than do the rest
 FS> of us. The press is *intensely* anti-Bush.  So much so,
 FS> that on the very rare times they say something *good* about
 FS> Bush you can believe that's *absolutely* true!

 BK> The press is not supposed to be pro-anybody or anything except
 BK> the truth, and the good of the people. The Bush administration
 BK> is so bad that the fact that they say so little bad about them
 BK> is a measure of how they are kissing Bush's butt.

Bob, I don't know how to tell you this but the press is 
*constantly* ridiculing and demeaning President Bush.  Except for 
a few weeks following 9/11 they have consistently opposed almost 
everything GWB has done -- or attempted to do.

 BK> The press can hate Bush passionately, but they kiss his butt to
 BK> avoid getting shut out, or just called liberal. That's how weak
 BK> the press is.
 
Bob!  Bob!  Bob!   Cut the crap -- if you'll pardon the 
expression ... [sigh] ...

 BK>>> The voters chose another candidate after Lieberman stabbed the
 BK>>> democratic party, and their presidential nominee, in the back.
 
 RW>> LOL! A primary election by the democrats for the democrats
 RW>> doesn't speak for all of the voters. But the results surely
 
 BK>> It speaks for the democrats who cared enough to vote. That's
 BK>> what primaries do.
 
 RW>> do. The whacko far left backstabbed lil' Joe for honestly
 RW>> stating the facts.
 
 BK>> So, now you think opposing a candidate is back stabbing? Don't
 BK>> want any competition for office?
 
 FS> Note how Bob twists the meaning of what you've said.  It's
 FS> so ... so ... so Klahnish!

 BK> That is what he said. You back stab someone when you stick it
 BK> too him while pretending to support him or be his friend. The
 BK> people who opposed Lieberman did so openly and honestly, and had
 BK> made their positions clear from the beginning. That's not
 BK> backstabbing, that's opposition. It is legitimate. Being elected
 BK> to the Senate and nominated for vice president does not give him
 BK> a free ticket to permenant employment. He has to stand with
 BK> the voters, or he can expect to be voted against.

Lieberman has been a loyal Democrat in the U.S. Senate, voting 
Democrat something like 90% to 95% of the times.  When his party 
disavowed him, *that* is backstabbing ... especially when the few 
times Lieberman *did* oppose the Democrat Party he was voting with 
President Bush to defend the nation!

 BK> The fact that the republicans have dropped support for their own
 BK> nominated candidate to back Leiberman, now that's backstabbing.
 BK> The fact that Lieberman lost the primary and is now running as
 BK> an independent, with republican backing, that's backstabbing.

The Republican candidate doesn't stand the *ghost* of a chance of 
winning ... he's just on the ballot to fill space.  In effect 
there are only two candidates:  An Independent and a Democrat.

... Deja Tue:  A feeling that yesterday was Monday ...
