Political Tidbits: Bubba meisa?

  • John McCain gets help from a big Jewish donor.
  • Jim Besser of the Jewish Week looks at whether McCain's decision to dump two prominent evangelicals will hurt him with Christian conservatives.
  • Charles Krauthammer says it tells you a lot about Barack Obama that he wants to be in commander in chief but doesn't know more about Auschwitz (we wonder if CK used that standard in 2000).
  • Bernard Avishai suggests that right-wingers (especially ones who express admiration for Effi Eitam) should look in the mirror before trying to score points against Obama by playing connect the dots.
  • Talking politics at the Jewish Community Center in San Rafael.
  • The Forward's Jennifer Siegel looks at whether the whole "Obama has a Jewish problem" thing is a bubba meisa.
  • Also in the Forward: AIPAC tells members to behave when the presidential candidates show up for the group's big parley next week.

I want to know what kind of koolaid Mr.Weiner was drinking when he says the war in Iraq made Israel less safe. Who did he think was funding suicide bombers, was totally an enemy of Israel and would have backed anyone who attacked Israel. Now Iraq will attack no one and the 25 million no longer fear the government slaughtering them. I know John McCain will support Israel without doubt.

It is interesting to a Canadian that the Democratic party behaves in the manner of a Banana Republic. Deciding whose vote shall count and to what degree. All, half, a fraction thereof or not at all. A true democracy entitles all votes to count equally. What a shame when egos and non democratic rules get in the way.
