		<description>There are other issues other than I-P conflict. Frankly, I don&#039;t think American Jews should decide who to vote for based on that one issue.</description>

		<description>@amir: A. because you threatened to vote for the Republicans for what I thought was a petty reason. B. because your politics regarding the I-P conflict are clearly much diff. than Obama&#039;s

Those are pretty good reasons to believe that you are either a Republican or an independent with right-leaning tendencies &amp; highly unlikely to vote Democratic.  But I&#039;d love for you to prove me wrong.

I like &amp; respect Obama.  It&#039;s hard for me to see how both of us could vote for him given the wild differences in our politics.  But maybe that&#039;s a good sign for Obama.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve voted for Democrats before, and I like and respect Barack Obama. Why would you assume otherwise?</description>

		<description>@DRW: &lt;blockquote&gt;Bernard Henri-Levy on WNYC earlier this week come right out and accuse W&amp;M of pushing Nazi ideology, akin to Celine? He said their book would never have been published in France&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Quel surprise&lt;/i&gt;!  A former French Jewish liberal (now verging on neocon) detests Mearsheimer&#039;s book!  I&#039;m shocked, I say, shocked.

Go ahead &amp; charge Mearsheimer with &quot;pushing Nazi ideology.&quot;  It only shows you for the propagandist wingnut you are.</description>

		<description>@Martin H. Leaf: Some right wingers are so obtuse they can&#039;t tell the diff. bet. Tikkun Magazine and this blog, Tikun Olam.  Can&#039;t teach an old right-winger new tricks I guess.

Sarah Palin a true friend of the Jews???!!!  If you admire Jews for Jesus &amp; their attempts to turn us all into Christians, then I guess she&#039;s a swell friend of our kind.

I do so love being called a &quot;traitor&quot; and &quot;diseased&quot; by faux Jews like this one.</description>

		<description>@amir: You&#039;ve been away from the U.S. for too long &amp; have forgotten a distinction that every American understands (even Republicans usually) bet. a pol running for election &amp; one who isn&#039;t.  It&#039;s a huge distinction apparently lost on you.

Hillary Clinton is raising money for Barack Obama.  She&#039;s not out on the stump making partisan public pitches every day like Obama is.  She knows the diff. bet. delivering a non partisan speech at a Jewish rally &amp; making a stump speech during a campaign.  Again apparently you don&#039;t.

She would never see such a rally as an opportunity to score partisan political pts.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is in the middle of a hard fought national election &amp; ANYTHING she says will be seen as partisan.  It has to be.  If Hillary were running for Pres. instead of Obama then she&#039;d be in the same position &amp; likely wouldn&#039;t address such a rally just as neither Obama nor McCain are.

As if you were ever considering voting for the Democrats!   Shame on you for being so disingenuous as to have us think you would support Obama over McCain.</description>

		<description>I agree with Amir completely, but I think we are wasting our time on this site where the agenda is to put partisan points ahead of Israel&#039;s interests. Israel has too many friends in the world anyway, so we should continue to spit in the face of elected government officials who are trying to be helpful (because, as we know, supporting unrestricted abortion rights is important than the risk of a nuked Israel). Besides, we WANT to push the Republicans back into the arms of James Baker, Brent Scowcroft and Zbig. They know what&#039;s best!  But, I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll be lectured to by the people here who, of course, know what&#039;s in Israel&#039;s interest better than people who actually live there.  BTW, did anyone else catch Bernard Henri-Levy on WNYC earlier this week come right out and accuse W&amp;M of pushing Nazi ideology, akin to Celine?  He said their book would never have been published in France b/c people there would have immediately understood the anti-semitic innuendo.</description>
