I’m glad he takes the money. I think the anti semites need to lose.

He’s convicted on biblically-driven, protestant-style support for a particular foreign sovereign, whereas, enthusiastic support for same is generally and often warranted, but not and never under biblical duress.

He literally said to Tucker, he was elected to protect Israel. Not to represent Texas.

Conservatives will start clamoring for an end to foreign influence in U.S. elections when CAIR’s political contributions exceed AIPAC’s.

The money is legitimate and openly contributed. If you’d like to change the laws I might agree with you. But it will need to be a change that applies to all politicians or congresscritters. And not just those that support USA national defense or that of our allies. And I’d suggest waiting just a bit — so our effort at changing the law doesn’t look like it’s favoring our enemies’ (like the Iranian mullahs) acquisition of the very nukes they’ve sworn they’ll attack us with, or just some sort of sicko antisemitic campaign in league with them. The idea would be to start campaigning by citing an outcome that is - or would be- bad. Like campaign contributions for more mass scale qbortions. Or contributions for free taxpayer- paid heroin “safe shooting- up” houses (thinking San Frsnsicko) or more raclsysr- paid sex chsnge operations on children, etc. And realistically it won’t be easy to get a Ben on political contributions. Congress certainly won’t agree. And the Supreme Court has ruled that political contributions are a protected liberty under the US Constitution.

Americans have all kinds of interests they choose to support. AIPAC’s is Israel. Hard to get worked up over lobbying for a longtime ally like Israel. We got into WW2 to favor British interests over German ones, lost 300K GIs in Europe, spent the equivalent of $40T fighting the war. Don’t like it, wish we had sided with the Herrenvolk? Germany’s taking migrants.

I’m more concerned about real problems, such as the $2T deficit, Democrat support for criminals, illegal aliens, and so on. But if exterminating every last Jew is this important to you, there are flights you can still take to Tehran. Maybe they’ll let you fire a missile. Also, Hamas is still taking recruits.

The buying of our elected officials should always be something disdainful.

I’m a Zionist for Israel but not on the payroll.

Yes, campaign finance laws should be addressed to stop our elected officials, like Rand Paul, from wasting donor contributions on luxury foreign trips.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul still travels large, courtesy of his political donors

Fundraising takes him to European capitals, Western ski resorts - December 3, 2024

Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul’s reelection committee spent nearly $50,000 this summer on luxurious hotels, restaurants and travel services during a trip to Sweden and Denmark. Expenses included $13,627 paid to Stockholm’s five-star Grand Hotel; $17,742 paid to a luxury travel service known as “Mr Charles,” of Stockholm, and $7,474 at some of the finest restaurants in Stockholm and Copenhagen, according to a report Paul filed recently with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

The FEC forbids candidates for federal office from using their campaign funds to pay for personal trips or any personal expenses.

But the spokesperson for Paul’s office said the Scandinavian travel was for the permissible purpose of fundraising — even though U.S. law bars citizens of other countries from giving to campaigns for federal office.

His interview with Tucker was very telling. Defensive, caustic, and clearly uncomfortable with tough questions.
