I am going to be honest with you. As Governor, I don’t expect Perry to have much to say about the Israel situation. But as a presidential candidate I expect him to have a good explanation of his current interest. That goes for Palin too. If I can determine authenticity to their feelings then I can respect them. I am sympathetic toward Israel but I am not in the position that I need to sell my sympathy. Palin and Romney are in that situation, and it is a soft sell.
What has Rick Perry’s past and present positions on Israel done to make you take the position that this is merely a “current interest?”
I added those quotes and links in Post #1 to give those who don’t know Perry’s long and close history with Israel some information.
