A Friend Of Ours

By Kleinheider Posted on May 9, 2008 at 2:42 pm

The Tennessee Republican Party celebrates 60 years of “Israel independence”:

The nation of Israel has fought for its independence and democracy in the Middle East for centuries and commemorates its 60 years as a nation, a partner in peace and an ally of America.

The importance of Israel will be a top issue in the presidential election in November. To mark Israel’s milestone of independence, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spewed his remarks this week: “Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken. Today the reason for the Zionist regime’s existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation.” Ahmadinejad further stated that Israel “has reached the end like a dead rat…”

Our votes this November must be cast for those who are solid in their stance on the war on terror, their views on Israel’s right to protect its citizenry and a partner for peace and democracy in the Middle East.

Who doe the TN GOP want us to vote for? McCain votes for pork, votes for amnesty, votes for global warming, … holding our noses and voting for ‘at least it is not a democrat’ has gotten us into the mess.. does the TN GOP have no Guts?

Without giving into the premise that a vote for Obama would be a vote against Israel…I find it kind of odd that the #1 issue on voters mind should be the fate of the strongest military power in the Middle East, 4,000 miles away.

It was a nice thought on their part. Too bad Israeli Independence Day (Yom Ha’atzmaut) was yesterday.

Most American Jews are not single issue voters on the issue of Israel, and no bloviating on the GOP’s part is going to make it so.

True GoldnI about Jews not being single issue voters and not having a monolithic view but keep in mind the Evangelical vote.
