re: #183 Obdicut

No, you’re not understanding me.

We started with Cantor implying to Israel that the GOP would be better allies for them than Obama would, even though Obama’s policies are the same as Bush’s. You then said that even Cantor may have overstepped, it’s good that in this time Israel’s friends and enemies know that the next president could be more sympathetic to Israel.

What I’m saying is there is no connection between Cantor’s remarks and actions here and the next president being more sympathetic to Israel. They’re totally separate issues.

That is speculative too. Your implication is that the next GOP POTUS would have the same philosophy as Bush 43. You might be right, but you might be wrong. The next GOP POTUS might be more sympathetic to Israel than was Dubya. We are both speculating because neither you, me, or anyone else can know that for sure. Cantor is fishing for Jewish votes, pure and simple. The Dems fish for votes from different groups as well. When foreign policy is involved, it is more unseemly.
