re: #129 wrenchwench

The really nefarious part is where he implies that the “special relationship” Israel has with the US is actually a “special relationship” with the Republicans. His office said, “He made clear that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States…” with the clear implication that Democrats do not. Foreign policy should not be a competition between the parties.

Cantor is overcompensating because he’s embarrassed by his own party. He knows that the GOP base is largely comprised of two faced dominionist pud whacks who like to talk about how much they support Israel in public, but enjoy using terms like “getting Jewed” in private. One reason that American Jews tend to vote Democratic it’s because they have clued in on this discrepancy and understand the motive is apocalyptic fundamentalism.
