Op-Ed: It Worked for Netanyahu, It Can Work for the GOP

The landslide victory by Netanyahu is very much the response of the “silent majority” who are no longer willing to go along with the lies, the arrogance, and lack of accountability and taking of responsibility.

The elections in Israel have turned out to be Obama’s first loss in a national race. Yes, my friends, the big loser in Israel’s national elections was not the Israeli Labor party nor the other smaller opposition parties all running on an “anyone but Netanyahu ticket”, but Barack Obama who did everything in his power to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu and lost big league.

What seems to be lost on Obama is that the Likud, the party of Netanyahu represents a true microcosm of Israel including all sectors, the real silent majority and not the liberal elitist minority that wins at the polls every time yet always loses on election day.

Barack Obama, America’s first ever affirmative action President and never a gracious man, has even been reluctant to congratulate Netanyahu for his crushing last minute electoral victory in this week’s Israeli elections. Maybe Obama see’s the handwriting on the wall, and it doesn’t look good. Israel, like America, has a “silent majority” and they have stood up bravely in opposition to liberal elites who claimed at every opportunity in the broadcasted and printed media, that Netanyahu’ s expected defeat is a forgone conclusion .

The astonishing size of the Likud victory has even shaken the arrogant White House staff. Obama, a big stickler for protocol when Netanyahu spoke to both houses of Congress has no qualms about intervening in Israel’s national elections and sending veiled threats that should Netanyahu be re-elected, Israel will become isolated and that America will re-evaluate her commitment to Israel’s security and international standing.

If winning means winning with a conservative platform, its not at all clear to me that GOP wants to win. The party brights are in essential agreement with the DNC.

For me, though, I’m way past being a party man. Cruz, or Cruz. Accept no substitutes.

Cruz is at the top of my list also. He gets it. He knows what needs to be done and why.

My only concern is does he know how. Vision is great but the devil is in the detail of how to accomplish the vision.

Pairing him with Walker or some other governor who has shown he knows how to get from point "A" to point "B" will be critical.

Cruz/Walker would be a good team. I don’t expect them to spend much energy attacking each other, because I expect they may be partners for the next 8 years.

I think no matter who the RATS nominate, you tar them and connect them tight to Obama.

Exactly. There isn't a single Dem politician who has had the courage to criticize O on anything.

Bob Menendez has criticized Obama, but I cannot think of any others.

B-but Israel’s friendship with America is unbreakable. Obama is America and America is Obama. The fuhrer is never wrong, even when he contradicts himself./sarc
