So you deny that the statements in SoCalPol’s post 230 are true? Just asking.

The last part of your reply does not make any sense to me. Yes, Cantor is the only Jewish Republican senator. How does that prove the two parties vie with each other to be the best Zionists?

You are also repeating the flawed logic that if Palin is endorsing Fiorina because Fiorina has a better chance of winning than DeVore, Palin should endorse against her firm beliefs and go with Campbell, who has an even better chance. Choosing a candidate who has a chance does not mean you have to abandon all your principles. Politics is a play-it-as-it-lays game. You are stamping flawed logic on it.

Why are you supporting Campbell?

I am not denying anything. I posted Campbell's response.

Cantor is in the House. I suggest you take a look at Congressional votes on Israel. They pass with 75% or more of the vote.

Israel is not the litmus test for me that it seems to be for you. If the choice comes down to what is best for the US and what is best for Israel, I am an American first. We don't have to agree on everything to maintain a strong alliance. I have been to Israel several times. There is a broad spectrum of poltical views within Israel. In the US, the political reality is that both parties support Israel as a friend and ally.

You are also repeating the flawed logic that if Palin is endorsing Fiorina because Fiorina has a better chance of winning than DeVore, Palin should endorse against her firm beliefs and go with Campbell, who has an even better chance. Choosing a candidate who has a chance does not mean you have to abandon all your principles. Politics is a play-it-as-it-lays game. You are stamping flawed logic on it.

The flaw in logic is with Palin. You can't be a little bit pregnant. If the criterion becomes winning versus principle, than you have crossed the Rubicon. This marks the second time that Palin has endorsed a RINO over a conservative. It is disturbing.

Why are you supporting Campbell?

I support Devore.
