This is an Israeli/Jewish thread. If this thread were about black Americans, or gay Americans, I would mention those in Congress who work against the interest of America too.

Lieberman was the one who stood up and said he would filibuster ANWR. Because of their faith had Lieberman or any of the others I cited stood up and said we need to drill in America to ensure our security and the security of Israel, the bill would have passed in one minute.

Since when did Free Republic become a politically correct zone? Your attacks are what I expect on a liberal forum, not Free Republic.

I sincerely believe the Senators I cited are working against Israel's best interests and the interests of America. Defeating them is far more important than buying some trinkets or sending money to the groups mentioned in the article.

As I recall, Free Republic was set up to advance the cause of conservatism, restore a constitutional republic, not to fund raise for Israel and defend very liberal Senators by calling those who oppose them names.

No, Larry, this is a thread about helping Israel. Jews have nothing to do with it. You see, there are people of other religions who want to help Israel as well.

You're full of it, Larry. What makes you think the bill would have passed if one of these people had supported it? What proof is there? What about all the non-Jews who were against it?

A liberal forum would tolerate your attacks on Jews. Actually, you are acting like a liberal since you refuse, deliberately, to admit that you were wrong to mention only the politicians with "Jewish sounding" last names.

I sincerely believe...

Of that, I'm sure. And you probably believe that all the senators who opposed the bill should be defeated. Why you only identified the ones with "Jewish sounding" last names is what has caused people to identify you as a bigot. Do you think you could have done better?

Well, advancing the cause of conservatism is not limited to America, is it, Larry? We can advance the cause by promoting a strong Israeli right-wing, can't we? And nice try to deflect criticism away from the fact that those "very liberal Senators" you criticized all had "Jewish sounding" last names, Larry.

Next time you have a point to make, make the point about ALL the politicians who support a bill, not just those who appear Jewish. That way, you'll eliminate a lot of criticism from your fellow freepers. Wouldn't that be nice?
