National Journal ^ | 11/25/13 | Josh Kraushaar

These Dems have to balance their loyalty to the president—and his desire to halt the Islamic Republic's nuclear program—with their discomfort over a deal.

It's been a tough year for Israel's most loyal supporters in the U.S. It began with a messy confirmation process for Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a nominee whom pro-Israeli groups viewed with concern.

Over the summer, President Obama leaned on those groups, most notably the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, to lobby for his proposal authorizing military intervention in Syria, only to abandon the push at the last minute.

And, most recently, pro-Israel organizations have been highly critical of a possible diplomatic deal with Iran that would loosen sanctions against the Islamic regime—a deal that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deemed "exceedingly bad."

At least the opening sentence acknowledges the purpose of the rat senate isn't to represent constituents or their states. It is to condone Obama.

Its telling, isn't it, that Lurch is treating the Israelis the same way that obama is treating the American people, to wit:

You're too stupid to know what's good for you.

Such high-handed arrogance always comes crashing down to reality.

I think we're in for some rocky(horrible) times.

When people are talking about the Iran “Deal” they are not talking about Obamacare. It is the equivalent of the “Video” that caused the Benghazi event.

No, they didn’t all vote for him. There are a considerable number who live around me (even here in Marylandistan) who voted conservative.

All American Jews didn’t vote for this marxist poser punk,
Just a very sizeable majority,
Twice.
And the stupids would line up again to vote for this jize ass punk fag.

Pro-Israel Democrats, a.k.a. Sonderkommandos — if they were told to, they’d herd the Jews into the boxcars. Thanks SoFloFreeper, related:
