Jewish legislators make good surrogates
Some of the best candidate surrogates are Jewish Democrats in Congress. Florida Reps. Robert Wexler and Debbie Wasserman Schultz – who supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, respectively, in the primaries – and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, who also backed Clinton, were among those singled out in a Politico article. (One Senate Democrat says of Schumer, "We didn't know Chuck could be such a team player.") The article points out that being a successful surrogate means "enhanced national stature."

The United States is supposed to be “one from many” but today we are a country of various groups with each seeking its own interests.
Of course the Jews are the most successful at getting their own interests. Because Jews have had the most experience. The very act of Jacob Javits making our country diverse by changing our immigration laws so that we get immigrants from places other than Western Europe was an act of self interest at the expense of the General Welfare.
You make me sick. My prayer to God is that you get exactly what you deserve. The sooner the better.

Lieberman has no principles. He’ll fit in well at the GOP convention.
