Well said!
SO, there are 27 Jewish dems in Congress including Sanders, and 6 have come out against this with 8 undecided?
That’s 23% against if all the undecideds end up voting yes. What percentage of non-Jewish rats in Congress are opposed to the deal? More or less than 23%?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

From this Jewish perspective, it's hard to call most in this morass of "Jewish" congressional 'Rats "liberal." That's much too polite a term for their political ideology. "Liberal" would better describe ex-Senator Joe Lieberman, who is gone from the Senate right now, thanks to the Dems who effectively drummed him out of their party for being too hawkish on defense issues (according to them), so poor Joe is limited today to demonstrating against the Obama-Kerry Iran pact in New York as a civilian.
The bulk of these congressional Jewish 'Rats are more accurately described as masochists or suicidal. Some, including Wasserman-Schultz and Grayson, are unfortunately psychiatrically impaired.
With all this obsession in some Jewish quarters (including the author of the published article, lefty Ron Kampeas of the JTA) about how these Jewish 'Rats will vote on this, I don't think that the few "Jewish" undecideds will determine the ultimate outcome.
Certainly NOT reflective percentagewise of how US Jews as a whole feel about it!
now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. They are so voting their conscience as a Jooo! Tikun Olam requires the equal distribution of nuclear bombs. If nuclear bombs are outlawed, only really strong countries will have nuclear bombs, and then there will be inequality and missile defense systems, instead of Mutually Assured Destruction as the Good Spirit of Tikun desires. Only then will there be a just and lasting piece.
the few supposedly Jewish Quislings wouldn’t be enough to tip the balance one way or the other
but they are still a tragic loss to America and to the Jewish community
let’s hope we survive until we a new administration and that it has enough time to defend USA and disarm the Iranian IslamoNazis, before the promised/threatened Iranian nuclear attacks on American cities
and may ALL these damned sell-outs be run out of office ASAP.....on rails!
” psychiatrically impaired.” I like that term!!
It started in WWII with the Jewish-American silence regarding the camps.
It continued when Israel was created and the anti-Zionist Reformed movement.
Then came Henry Kissinger and a host of Kapo Jews, from Kasper Wienberger, Dennis Ross, Martyn Indyk, Mad Albright, Sandy Berger, William Cohen and many others (including Wendy Sherman at State).
The current US Ambassador in Israel is a measly little kapo Jew (who speaks fluent Hebrew - wow!) named Ben Shapiro. He is doing Obama’s work at abandoning Israel with promises of “we've got your back”, etc.
It's all lies.
Sure, fund the cornered Jews of Israel a few more Iron Dome systems because they are going to need not tens of them but hundreds after Obama’s failed policies with Iran kick-in.
