re: #90 goddamnedfrank

Did that pattern include Obama statements that the Bush, McCain and the Republicans were undermining Israel?

Not that I recall, although McCain did fire at Obama. I am not saying I like Mitt’s crap. However, this business of going to Israel and flaunting your credentials for the folks at home—and it is the folks at home—is following precedent, and attempting to imitate something that benefited the victor in the last election.

He is not ‘running for President of Israel’. He is running for President of the United States, and he thinks that his base wants to hear what he is saying.
