I have no problem with defeating politicians whose views I oppose. But if you identify only those with "Jewish-sounding" last names, then you are being selective and your selection is not based on opposing their views, but on opposing them as (seemingly) Jewish. It is bigotry.

I don't disagree with Larry that the people he mentioned should be defeated....but I would target more people than these.

If the topic of this thread was school choice, cutting taxes or upholding the second amendment, one might make that charge. There would be no reason to single out Jews. But this thread is about Jews and Israel. Drilling in ANWR does relate to Israel. The money we send to Saddam for oil directly affects Israelis. The fact that we are so dependent on Arab oil limits America from acting in the best interest of Israel.In that context, it is germane to mention that Jewish members of congress overwhelming opposing America exploiting our own national resources.

Except to the Identity Politics crowd. To the Jesse Jackson types who think opposing AA is racist, the GLSEN types who think not wanting kids to go on scouting trips with gays is homophobic and the Israel crowd on FR who thinks mentioning that Jewish members of congress oppose trying to free America from foreign oil is bigoted.

Don't like to be reminded of how Lieberman and others vote? Simple solution: Kick them out of office. Don't rag on me for pointing out what everyone knows.
