Edwards Pledges Allegiance

Excerpt
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is out on the stump:
“Iran is serious about its threats,†former US Senator John Edwards has told an audience in Israel.
“The challenges in your own backyard – represent an unprecedented threat to the world and Israel,†the candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination told the Herzliya Conference, referring mainly to the Iranian threat.
I don’t know about New Hampshire, but I’d say Edwards is off to a strong start in Tel Aviv.
After opening his speech with great praise for Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Edward’s continued to express great appreciation for the Israeli people and the special bond between the two countries, saying it was “a bond that will never be broken.â€
H.L.s Take
Yet another Democrat that puts Israel before The United States. We ship Israel billions of dollars in aid every year (thats the tax money that comes out of your paycheck every week) Israel in returns funnels that money back to our politicians in the form of “campaign donations.” The politicians use that money to get elected so they can continue to put the wants of Israel above the needs of the people that voted them in. All so Israel can continue it’s hatred and persecution of anyone in the region who is not Israel, but shhhh to state the obvious is considered anti-semitism, by pro israelis. Must be nice to always have a built in attack response to anyone who does not agree with your war mongering.

Sorry John, I did like you, but this is a deal-killer.
AIPAC= not good for America, not good for Israel.
