I used to be one of those "Condi 2008" assclowns. I was wrong. She is worse than useless, although not quite as bad as a true traitorous libscum would be in her position...
It is very big indeed for you to admit this. Thanks.
Just from a crassly political point of view--exactly what reward in this political life can any Repub pol expect for supporting Israel? Be crass, now, and coldblooded for a moment.
Being pro-Israel doesn't get a Repub very far--and look at Soros/Lamont and the Lieberman experience with the Democrats. I don't see many Israel allies in the landscape anywhere. From a coldly political point of view, what politicias should stick his neck out for Israel? How has this come to be?
There are several new Democrat Jews in the 2007 House. Do you think they will be pro-Israel? Should Israel take their support for granted? I don't, but I'm waiting to see.
The left has done a brilliant triangulation with the conservative evangelical Christians by exposing the embarrassment that the bluebloods feel at their presence at the political table. (Kuo may be a self-serving twerp, but his criticisms have resonance.) There were many Republicans who disdained the evangelicals, and this couldn't go on forever without alienating a significant constituency. Now there's that purpose-driven guy who's being courted by some very unembarrassed Democrats. That's enough to chip a significant support away from Israel.
If Condi were pro-Israel there wouldn't be any political reward for being so. That's just the truth.
We have seen our last pro-Israel administration.
Israels fiscal lobby has been waining for years against Sunni Arab League and U.N.....decline increases as Persians sit at the table.
Israel is being made to see its place at the table
Some scenario will occur in the future...much like the mixed signals Saddam got concerning Kuwait.
Islam will make a run for Jerusalem.
Bleached Bones lying in the Sun on the Mountains of Israel as the Prophecy goes...will occur.
My moneys on Israel for the Win : )
