When the Left cannot steal an election (see: ACORN), they demand power anyway.
This is from the Jerusalem Post:
Parties dismiss PM rotation as coalition talks set to begin
Bibi won, and the Labor party lost to such an extent that it only gained 13 mandates and finished forth, yet they want a "rotating Prime Minister."
Ping.
(The official results also confirmed that Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu with its 15 mandates has ousted Labor as the third-largest political party, while Labor under Defense Minister Ehud Barak only managed to scrape 13 mandates. Shas has preserved its power, holding on to its 11 seats and United Torah Judaism received 5 mandates. Hadash, United Arab List – Ta'al and the National Union won 4 mandates while Meretz, Habayit Hayehudi and Balad received 3.)
Typical. Leftists everywhere learned from Al Gore and, while he did not get himself appointed co-president, the Dems convinced Bush to pressure GOP congress critters to permit various legislative restructurings that essentially resulted in power-sharing even though the Dems were, at that point, a minority.
And of course there’s the example of Kenya, where the left (whose leader is Barry Obama’s cousin, Raila Odinga) led such a campaign of rioting and violence that the country’s Supreme Court essentially appointed the loser, Odinga, as “co president,” and now he’s really the one who runs the country.
The strategy works.
If the Israelis elect left wing losers, they deserve what they get. Kind of like the US electing this spoiled little brat President.
I am guessing that when they say they want a “rotating Prime Minister.” What they are really saying is that they want a PM who will ‘sit and spin’.
How is it that the liberal party is “centrist” and the conservative party is “hardline right-wing?”
Kind of like the description of the 3 RINOS and Ben Nelson as “three moderate Republicans and a conservative Democrat” instead of 3 liberal Republcians and moderate Democrat.
I wonder if this Israel Beitanu (sp) took votes away from the Likud?
These descriptions are manifestly disinformation (simply intended as insults), and anyone relying on these descriptions is going to be confused and ultimately disappointed when these characters don't come close to acting in any such way!
Conservatism is on the march everywhere but here. Course we haven’t tried running a Conservative candidate. The self hating RNC won’t allow that.
Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Guidance
Give those leftist idiots something to rotate on..
American Pravda never misses a chance to slip leftist agitprop into its "news" articles. In the lead graphs, note the descriptions of Netanyahu as "hard-line" and his party as "right-wing." By contrast, Livni's party is "centrist," and she is never referred to as a leftist or socialist.
Odd, isn't it, how the "right wing" parties won a majority of the votes over the "centrist" ones? Simple math dicatates that if anything, the conservative parties must actually be a shade more "centrist" than their rivals.
For the socialists at AP, there are just two types of parties: extremist right-wing hardliners and moderates.
Come on, Bibi!
Interesting how news came right out and said the O’bozo administration would strongly prefer that Livni and Kadima win.
Bibi does not have a majority, and the broad has even less of one. This is a PARLIAMENT (read "Parliament of Whores"). Those "other right-wing parties" everyone is so blythely assured will vote with Bibi, are about as reliable as a Renault in the rain.
They sell their support to the highest bidder and it's never cheap.
