I assume you're talking to yourself, because you're the only one who brought up the angle of Christians not voting for Lieberman because he's Jewish. Please keep us updated on this running dialogue you're having with yourself.
Lieberman would be a puzzling choice, he's pro-abortion and more significantly, he's a Democrat, that's enough to turn off a substantial number of Republicans, Christian or not.
I'd vote for McCain/Lieberman, although with strong reservations, McCain/Romney would be a much better ticket.
Please try to keep up with the conversation.
Or just yourself, dumbass. Your denial doens't mean 2cent did post it.
Are you saying any pro-choice VP candidate will lose the support of Christians for a pro-life presidential candidate? Christians are as stupid as Hillary Clinton supporters.

Trust me, Evangelicals equate Mormons with a cult. They respect Jews; after all they own the original covenant with God. Romney finished WAY down in the bible belt for a reason. I was raised Catholic, and now attend a relatively charismatic protestant church. Catholics see Mormons as just another non-Catholic denomination; protestants see it very differently Romney would alienate Christians more than Lieberman, and, yes, Chump, specifically BECAUSE he is Mormon.
I think McCain will pick Kay Bailey.
Ron Paul!
I still say he'll go with Pawlenty.
Damn, they're stupid.
I would still vote McCain/Romney, however, it does give me pause when the leadership of the Mormon Temple, by excommunicating one of its members, can deny that person entry to heaven. If Romney is a true-blue Mormon believer, that would mean other people hold sway to his eternal salvation (in his own view).
do you have any idea how crazy that sounds?
Conversely, they can pray you into heaven without your even being Mormon. So you got that going for you.
People believe what they believe; and they act on those beliefs. I guess y'all don't remember how big of a deal it was for a Catholic to run for President? People thought the Pope would run the country.
Again, I've said I'm voting McCain/Romney if it comes to that; I just KNOW that there are quite a few people who will stay home.
Actually (to the surprise of no one) you need to keep up; here are the quotes;
Now I’ll break it down for you junior;
1. 2cents said Lieberman would cost McCain the Christian vote with no inference whatsoever that it was because he’s Jewish (try because he’s pro-abortion), and rightly so because Christian Republicans are certainly not known as being anti-Semitic.
2 ChumpDumper, responding via Non sequitur, finds it interesting that 2cents thinks Christian Republicans will slight McCain because his VP is <gasp!> JEWISH!
It’s absurd for you to suggest that I (or anyone else) should be “keeping up” with such extreme disconnect.
Christians not voting for Lieberman, because he’s Jewish, is your intimation, and yours alone. So again, go ahead and finish the conversation you started with yourself.
Another ChumpDumper internet meltdown on display .Or just yourself, dumbass.
McCain doesn't even like to talk about his religion so I don't think it is an issue on his part but more for party's sake.
LOL. Republicans hate Romney and I can't wait till he's the VP. Biden's gonna eat him for lunch in the debate. He's just about the weakest person McCain could pick, but then again, McCain is about the weakest presidential candidate the Republicans could have picked.
I will include you in the former group.
I concur. I don't see McCain picking Romney. Romney is much more presidential sounding and looking than McCain could ever dream of. I think he'd over shadow McCain.
you're nothing more than a troll, too bad.
Can't believe I'm agreeing with 2cent....rarely Chumpy can be objective, but lately he's really been very.....well, trollish...

It will be Ridge.
or Hutch!
No Joe for VP, but possibly McCain's Sec of State.
By Robert Novak - Aug 28th, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Reports of strong support within John McCain's presidential campaign for Independent Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman as the Republican candidate for vice president are not a fairy tale. Influential McCain backers, plus McCain himself, would pick the pro-choice liberal from Connecticut if they thought they could get away with it.
But they can't get away with it -- and this has been made clear to McCain by none other than Joe Lieberman himself.
Lieberman surely doesn't know that much about Republican politics, but he has close Republican friends. One of them prevailed on Lieberman to tell McCain that a McCain-Lieberman ticket would be a disaster for all concerned, and especially for the GOP.
Actually, Lieberman is a heroic figure among Republicans for having risked his Senate seat to support President George W. Bush's war policy. But aside from the war, he votes the straight liberal line, including pro-choice on abortion. Lieberman's Republican friend told him that the Republicans would leave Minnesota in a state of disarray with a McCain-Lieberman ticket, alienating social conservatives who now make up the core of Republican voters.
At the heart of the desire for Lieberman as running mate is a basic strategic disagreement between the Bush and McCain high commands.
McCain's top strategists argue that the Bush coalition that won the last two presidential elections is dead and must be replaced by a new one that extends to the left, as Lieberman would.
Bush strategists disagree, asserting that McCain is getting around 90 percent of the old Bush vote and can win the election with a few moderates added in.
The Republican operative who urged Lieberman to dissuade McCain from picking him believes that there is still a very useful role for the maverick Democrat in this campaign: as McCain's secretary of state. <Good move, and announce it early; McCain, crossing the aisle, becomes the true Uniter!> While an announcement in St. Paul of Lieberman as vice president would bring groans from the assembled Republicans, placing him at the State Department would evoke a standing ovation.
At this writing, nobody knows McCain's choice. He is keeping the selection process secret, and his closest aides are in the dark. Could he still name Lieberman after being told by Lieberman himself that it is not a good idea? Nobody absolutely rules it out.
Selecting a vice presidential nominee from the opposite party has not fared well, partly because the two most prominent such selections quickly succeeded to a vacant presidency.
In 1864, Republican President Abraham Lincoln picked a pro-Union Democrat, Andrew Johnson, as his running mate. Johnson clashed continuously with the Republican Congress and became the first president to be impeached. In 1840, Whig President William Henry Harrison selected Democrat John Tyler for vice president. Tyler became president upon Harrison's death in 1841. Tyler found himself surrounded by old political enemies in a Whig Cabinet.
Those problems might be less serious for Lieberman should he quickly succeed to the presidency, however. He is on intimate terms with the McCain inner circle, especially Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Still, Republicans assembling in St. Paul have their fingers crossed that McCain will not press his luck by naming Lieberman as his running mate.

All very true. He's also "oozes Catholicism" (heard that phrase on NPR last night) which is good to woo working class Catholics...
That might be the dumbest comment I have ever read. Romeny is the weakest person ? Biden will eat him for lunch in a debate? That garbage is even more ridiculous that the outlandish and false statements about the Mormon religion on here -and almost as silly as that orange pant suit Hillary wore - but nowhere near as goofy as that Greek temple the DNC built for ObMARX.
look , go back to where all the stupid people hang out. Your Ahole remarks show you're an idiot and don't like Mexicans.? you accused ChumpDumper of being a troll ?
that's worse than republicans saying Obama wasn't black enough to win over African Americans
