Until then all these feel-good peace and land for peace negotiations are meaningless. <BR/><BR/>It was a good piece. The Times refused to publish it and after that Rush fell silent like most good Republican partisans, for the good of the party. Same holds true with Hannity and others. Party comes first in most instances.<BR/><BR/>When I tried to call Limbaugh on Israel and got through the screener would reject my call. I did manage to speak with Sean Hannity about Israel and the GOP's position under Bush. This was during the second Lebanon war which he covered day by day. When I got to my topic Mr. Hannity cut me off. He said, 'I don't want to talk about that'. <BR/><BR/>Thus I rarely listen to these two anymore. Maybe a few minutes to see what the topic is. Yesterday and today, I have been listening because of the importance of the matter at hand. <BR/><BR/>Limbaugh said something a few minutes back that to me rings true. The reason we do not have a Republican candidate that truly inspires is because the Republican party establishment likes John McCain. They do not want a conservative nominee. McCain is fine.<BR/><BR/>I found this to be true here in Florida. In the Florida state party establishment, conservatives and conservative positions were not sought out. Our party has moved from morals, principle and conviction to winning. Party unity, discipline and winning is all important.steve kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909283816016502418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-31330263883083524282008-01-30T14:53:00.000-05:002008-01-30T14:53:00.000-05:00Here's my take on the article:flush it down the to...Here's my take on the article:<BR/>flush it down the toilet.<BR/>After saying he is worried about Israel he says:<BR/>"I IDENTIFY with the Jewish and Zionist motivations, though not with the actions or the messianist ideologies of many of the people living in these settlements. They include some of our finest citizens. They also include a small minority, extremist and violent, whose deeds have harmed the cause of the Jewish state, and the settlement project itself. "<BR/>What a mealy mouthed statement.He indentifies with nothing.<BR/>He has no belief in what Jewish means. There is no "Jewish" without Torah. He then goes on to talk of what Jews did in the West Bank etc.<BR/>This man would have complained in the midbar(wilderness), mocked Moshe and called Joshua etc murderers. This is the mindset of the mouthiest people today.The erev rav have taken over in more ways than one.<BR/>This is why an Obama can even consider running for president and an Olmert can remain in place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-86210619601432412462008-01-30T14:17:00.000-05:002008-01-30T14:17:00.000-05:00somewhat worrying is obama's strategy for targetin...somewhat worrying is obama's strategy for targeting republicansDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-37009790839579829142008-01-30T14:11:00.001-05:002008-01-30T14:11:00.001-05:00I never did think the non-traditional tactics such...I never did think the non-traditional tactics such as You Tube videos were effective. And candidates appearing on late night talk shows such as "Jay Leno" and "Jimmy Kimmel" were a good idea. It lowers the respect of the presidential office.<BR/><BR/>There really aren't any shortcuts--the candidates have to have meet and greets, kiss babies, and shake hands. They need to make a personal connection with the voter.<BR/><BR/>Never underestimate the power of schmoozing.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-14323942731553123402008-01-30T14:11:00.000-05:002008-01-30T14:11:00.000-05:00OT: I would be interested in anyone's take on this...OT: I would be interested in anyone's take on this peice:<BR/><BR/>http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1201523787425&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFullsteve kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909283816016502418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-54843724003784507292008-01-30T13:56:00.000-05:002008-01-30T13:56:00.000-05:00I am not sure elections are honest at all anyway.I am not sure elections are honest at all anyway.Chana @ Lemon Lime Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-13952295828254870562008-01-30T13:39:00.000-05:002008-01-30T13:39:00.000-05:00You may be right. If Mitt Romney is the Republica...You may be right. If Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee, we "might" have another Republican in the White House, January 2009. As I am listening to Rush Limbaugh this afternoon, at this point, he believes Romney has an uphill battle in this three man race.<BR/><BR/>In terms of who is elected president November 2008, much could hinge on economic and related factors this summer and early fall; the state of the economy is an unknown and a powerful factor in any election, is it not?<BR/><BR/>I see the knives are out against McCain all over the conservative media, radio and Internet. The knives have been out. McCain is hated by the conservative right. This could mean McCain's demise but it did not hurt him particularly here in Florida yestday. We'll see. There are a lot of moderates in this party. I know from first hand experience as an eight year party activist. You should have seen the moral outrage here in our local party when we brought the abortion debate before the Executive Committee! I believe the officers of the party wanted me out because of my criticism of Bush's policies on Israel. Our Right to Life president felt it was my strong pro-life stance on the Committee and the fact that I was recruiting pro-life activists into our party. Both may be true.<BR/><BR/>The point is, there are many, many "RINOs" in this party, all over the country.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me, if McCain is the GOP nominee -- a prospect you believe to be a long-shot -- he could rip this party wide open and assure a Democrat takes the White House. Conservative base of this party is critical. No Republican candidate worth his or her salt, dismisses the conservative (largely Christian) base.steve kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909283816016502418noreply@blogger.com
