"The blacks and other minorites better wise up. If this does not prove the Jewish vote you are really not wanted here any more I don't know what will!"
I'm watching the Jewish vote closely this election.
We just had the Democrats, including Mrs. Clinton, out there gushing their support for Israel in the recent war, but opposing our own AMERICAN war effort against the same Islamist terrorists right nearby in Iraq.
That dog don't hunt.
The Jewish Lobby is pro-Israel, and that's fine. I've always supported Israel. But if the Jewish Lobby takes the pro-Israel/anti-American stance that the Democrats are offering, it will be time to reassess the single-minded American devotion to Israel. After all, Israel is NOT any longer the only democracy in the Middle East. Iraq and Afghanistan are democracies now too, and it is just as important to the United States that those two countries survive as democracies as it is that Israel does.
The Jewish vote historically goes about 75% Democrat. If that happens this election, we have to reassess.
The ouster of Lieberman shows that the anti-war Democrats care more about getting America out of Iraq than anything else. For AMERICA, a loss in Iraq is worse, even, than the loss of Israel. After all, Iraq is OUR baby, made with OUR blood and treasure. If the Jewish Lobby supports Democrats lock stock and barrel, it will be a pro-Israel, ANTI-AMERICAN vote.
Hopefully, the Jewish voters will get this. Americans overall are simply NOT going to be more loyal to Israel than to America herself. And that's what a Jewish Lobby vote for the Democrats this year will be: AMERICA loses in the Middle East, but ISRAEL gets full support.
Not tolerable.
I hope the Jewish Lobby backs Lieberman and the voting patterns show this.
If they don't, we all have to reasses support for Israel and take a hard look at the primary loyalty of the Israel Lobby.
If the American Jewish lobby believes the democrats that an Iranian supported state in the same area is good for Israel then they need their heads worked on with electric shock. If they did not learn from what they found with the tunnels in the last war with Leb, then they are asking for the destruction of Israel again. If this happens it will be a shame on American Jews.
