re: #7 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin
One of the reasons I’ve found refuge here is it’s one of the few places — on earth, it seems — where Republicans are criticized yet you can still be pro-Israel with np. It’s a rarity. I don’t see that as having changed. I think Republicans are full of crud on the ME, anyway, and do not trust them as far as I can throw them on the issue. Well, the CZ ones, anyway.
As far as the Congress goes, both sides have always actively supported Israel save for a small few out of 435. But Republican citizens have been far more supportive than Democrats as a whole. The only large percentage of Democrats who support Israel has been the Jewish community. It’s one of the things that has disappointed me as a liberal.
