CNN.com - Bubba Lieberman heckled at Arab American political conference - Oct. 17, 2003:

"He said they gathered Friday, 'Not as Muslims and Christians and Jews, or as people of Arab descent or European descent or African or Asian descent. We are proud to be all those things. But we are more than that. We are Americans. We are children of the same God and of the same father, Abraham. We are brothers and sisters.'

Lieberman blamed the lack of progress toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians on the failures of the Bush administration. He received applause for some of his comments, including his calls for tolerance and unity.
"


Bubba Lieberman bashes Bubba Bush, sure, but doesn't offer anything whatsoever as to his proposals. This is understandable since, by and large, Bubba Lieberman's stance on the Middle East is identical to Bubba Bush's, perhaps even more pro-Israeli. Middle East Arabs have every reason to feel uncomfortable about a Lieberman in the white house.

When will we see a Democrat who supports peace and justice in the Middle East? At least Dean has taken the stance that the US cannot broker peace if it is constantly pro-Israeli.

And when we will see the Democrats tell the religous fanatics to take a hike? What about separation of church and state? For Bubba Loverman, we are children of the same God, but when will a candidate be a disciple of the US Constitution?
