“Re: Abortion is the real bottom line - at least for me.

So are relations with Israel.

2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

Genesis 12:2-3

I am ashamed to admit I wasn’t aware of Romney’s attitude toward Israel. In my opinion, the obama administration’s treatment of Israel is nothing short of amoral.

When our only true ally in the Middle East is treated in such a condescending, demeaning manner by obama, is it any wonder that our nation’s reputation has become a punch line in the minds of our enemies !

To be hones though, I would not be unhappy with an elimination of our foreign-aid (ALL COUNTRIES, including Israel) until after our own spending/debts are taken care of (reduced to zero).

1 Timothy 5:8 [NIV] -- If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

If this applies to a man, the leader of a household, how much more to the leaders of countries?

Further, the corruption of Justice (and how Just is it to give the children's meat to dogs [Mat. 15:26] -- Jesus WAS talking of himself being sent to the JEWS, not the GENTILES, which the woman was; likewise our leaders are sent to their position for AMERICANS, not Israelis) is itself reason enough for God to destroy a nation:
Amos 5: 10-15

10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court
   and detest the one who tells the truth.

 11 You levy a straw tax on the poor
   and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,
   you will not live in them;
though you have planted lush vineyards,
   you will not drink their wine.
12 For I know how many are your offenses
   and how great your sins.

   There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes
   and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times,
   for the times are evil.

 14 Seek good, not evil,
   that you may live.
Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you,
   just as you say he is.
15 Hate evil, love good;
   maintain justice in the courts.
Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy
   on the remnant of Joseph.

Pv 29:4 -- By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.
Is 5:20-25

20 Woe to those who call evil good
   and good evil,
who put darkness for light
   and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
   and sweet for bitter.

 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
   and clever in their own sight.

 22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
   and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
   but deny justice to the innocent.
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
   and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
   and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty
   and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people;
   his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,
   and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets.

   Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
   his hand is still upraised.
