(IsraelNN.com) Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain has asked the Chabad-Lubavitch movement to support him in the November elections. In a conference call to 40 of Chabad's leading rabbis, the senator told them that he is the underdog in the race and that Chabad's support "would mean a great deal to me."
He pledged "never again" to another Holocaust and he reminded the rabbis of his vow to keep Israel secure.
However, Chabad is forbidden from officially endorsing a candidate because it is listed as a tax-exempt and non-profit organization.

Chabad are religious Jews who worship the Torah, not the Communist Manifesto like many Deformed Jews. They also are very conservative. They voted 76% for George W. Bush in 2004.

King James Version (KJV)
Genesis 12
1. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Pray for the Peace of Israel, GOD bless Israel

They don’t “worship” the Torah, but they do believe it.
They worship G-d.

“They don’t “worship†the Torah, but they do believe it.
They worship G-d.”
Do they see Obama as burying Israel, and if not him, allowing others to do the dirty work?

My FRiend, may you and all of Chabad-Lubavitch be blessed. With evident support from the late Rebbe of blessed memory, Reagan nearly carried New York City in 1980.
Your Catholic admirer.

If they can’t endorse, why did McCain call? Was he wanting their blessings?
