  For Gods sake David - say what you really know: that the Democratic party has a huge Jew / Zionist / Israeli-centric problem that confuses all of our politics. How can you possibly be a liberal-progressive and support Israel’s mission to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth? And do you really think that Chuck Schumer (or Michael Bloomberg) is going to turn his back on Lieberman when they are so many peas in a pod? How else do you explain Ed Koch - another "pro-Bush" gay, liberal, Democrat - Jewish/Zionist. Look - we didn't invade Iraq for oil, and …

  popom: Oh yes popom, anyone who dares link between Liberman, Schumer, Koch, Bloomberg, Richard Pearl, William Crystal, AIPAC, the ADL, bla bla bla / et. al.s’ support for Israel's systematic destruction of Palestine is an "anti-Jewish screed" - alas the Al Sharpton in you goes for the race card every time. Anyone who even hints at this destructive un-American alliance is vilified as ant-Semitic just as the old slave south pilloried anyone who dared to question the “peculiar institution” of slavery. Why do you think Americans like John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of the John F. …

  Verifi - Thanks for pointing out the AIPAC / pro-Israel element in Lamonts defeat. It's like criticizing slavery in the 1840s - a very hot potato. We must bring it up again and again...and anyway it's to "there" in our face to touch and feel - we ultimately will face it one way or another. That Lamont "only" lost by 10 points - and the fact that 25% of Americans don't support Israel (up from 15% a decade ago) indicate we are going in the right direction. The bottom will fall out when the Democratic Party has to choose between its …

  thanks blondemike... ...better to say my comments are crude than going ballistic and name calling - as Zionists are prone to do when you expose them for what they are (yea, you et. al. popom). Would be even better if they left us in peace by leaving for their beloved Israel. Spielberg recently said he "would die for Israel." You've never heard him say he'd die for America have you? He should just emigrate to Israel if he loves it so much - go build a big house next to Gaza and protect his scalp from those savage Palestinians...Now that diminishes …

  Did everyone get the profoundity of what blondemike said? "I have no magic wand to wave here but I’m not too optimistic about a serious foreign policy change given AIPAC’s alomost total control over Congress." How the hell did we get here? How the hell do a people to live and breath for another country - especially one that revels in the murder of it's own President (remember them dancing in the streets after Rabin was murdered for making peace?) - how the hell did they get total control of our Congress? We should be kicking and screeming to the point …
