In this particular case of influence peddling the issue is the diamond trade, of which many of the participants are Jewish.
Some are some aren't.
But what of the false innuendos made against Lev Leviev who turns out to be a brilliant man and a philanthropist?
By the way many Christians support the Democratic Party as well.
More and more Jews are turning right and joining the GOP. Karl Rove is courting the Jewish vote.
I see this as a plus for the GOP, and I hope Bush basher McKinney goes down. HARD. :)
