Greek doubts, Israel’s Sarah Palin, and more
The Boston Globe ^ | February 18, 2015 | Ellen Clegg

Check out five opinions trending online, from Google’s black box to Hillary’s men.

Voting with their euros: In a proxy no-confidence vote, Greeks are sending their money abroad as creditors try to reach an agreement with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board writes.

“Fleeing deposits represent a resounding vote of no confidence in the new government, and no wonder. Mr. Tsipras’s hard-left Syriza party keeps digging in against reforms that would be necessary for Greece to stay in the euro.” Read more.

Israel’s Sarah Palin: Writing for the Daily Beast, Ricky Ben-David and Nira Yadin analyze the populist appeal of rising Likud Party star Miri Regev, who touts her working-class roots, regularly bashes left-wing elites, and is campaigning in a trailer. Sound familiar?

“Love or loathe her — and few people in Israel are indifferent to the Regev spectacle — there is no denying the fact that Regev is a talented politician who, despite her image as a pushy, ignorant figure, has paved her way shrewdly and confidently to the top of the country’s male-dominated ruling party, where the next woman on the party list is only at the 14th spot.”(continued)

Fleeing deposits, that’s just what a person with a brain would do if they had money in a Greek bank.

Greece won’t be paying back their debts owed to the Eurozone.

If you owe the bank 100,000 and you can’t pay...you have a problem.

If you owe the bank 100 billion dollars and refuse to pay then the bank has a BIG problem.

Once Greece defaults and tells the Eurozone to cram it others will follow.

Israel needs a strong conservative woman... a cross between Meir Kahane and Sarah Palin is what they really need.

2 things that would get America back on its feet in five seconds flat.

1) President sarah!

2) Declare Democraps a terrorist organization

3) Force Biden and Pelosi to be rodeo clowns for kids parties

4) Bring back American jobs!

Regev is from a Moroccan family and is a Brigadier General. Highest ranking (#5) woman on the Likud list and disliked by Netanyahu.

Thread deserves a bump.

If Netanyahu is defeated this time around, Miri Regev could be in line to be the next candidate for PM from the Right. She’s very different from the Netanyahu-Herzog/Livni establishment.
