Politics is so much fun. Now we get Nancy Pelosi saying that the Republicans are exploiting the Jews. Wow. Eric Cantor is not taking that, but does Pelosi have a point? Mitt Romney comes out with a stronger stance on Israel and raises $1 million from some big Jewish donors. It sounds like Pelosi is just jealous that the Republicans are stealing the typically Democratic Jewish support base. Do you agree with Pelosi that the Jews are being exploited by the Republicans?

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM reports:
WASHINGTON -- In unusually sharp words, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Sunday fired back at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for suggesting that Republicans exploit Jewish people for political gain. Pelosi told Bloomberg's Al Hunt in a Friday interview that Republicans have been talking up issues about Israel as "an excuse" to distract from their push for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Pelosi thinks??? What about the $70 million Obama gave to Israel last Friday just before Romney made his trip there? Obama could have done that months ago; why now? If that's not for political gain, what is? Pelosi needs to stay home and bake cookies.

Why do you think Mitt Romney went to Israel.? For donations and American Jewish votes, which shows how Romney is exploiting Israelis with making them promises. With Mitt Romney's record of saying what he wants for gain, then changing his mind, why trust him.?

Every politician has to raise money. He knows he won't get Jewish votes. They are Democrats and always will be. But just like attending the NAACP, if he hadn't attended, he would have been called "racist!". If he didn't visit Israel, he would have been called "Antisemitic".

It is what Romney had no business telling the Israelis. I listened to a conversation between a CNN news reporter and Romney. Romney told Israelis they should have Jerusalem. Romney even said an embassy should be put in Jerusalem. Romney belittled Palestinians while in Israel. Mitt Romney supports using U.S. Military to bomb Iran for Israel. Is Mitt Romney running for U.S. President or for Israel.?

You can find exactly what Romney told Israelis on any news channel, or source you want to. What Romney said is what he said. He has a big mouth.!

Vis Vires to strawberry 2012/08/01 17:47:36

CNN? Oh, brother. FYI - "Palestinians are now trying to emulate Israel's culture of innovation and entrepreneurship". That would be good for both - if it weren't for Hamas' dominating force. It would be good for Palestinians to become independent of harmful forces that breed hatred.

Mitt Romney should not be going to Israel making them promises. Much of what Romney said while in Israel can have more terrorist repercussions from Muslims in the United States. Romney is not thinking about Americans. He is thinking about winning at any cost.

I don't think it will. Because Obama had been bombing places like Yemen, and Pakistan for while now. Plenty of innocent Muslims has been killed in the process so far. Yet no terrorist repercussions here so far. Maybe the Muslims know Mitt's promises are as empty as his head.

Mitt Romney's big mouth in Israel, especially against Palestinians is not going to help U.S. Mideast relations. Romney will lead the U.S. into more wars, more money going to wealthy class, a definitely more struggling Middle Class. Mitt Romney exploits anyone for his own personal gain.

uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh newsflash to those from public school who are not allowed to take history class: The republican party was made because of minorities. The only reason Democrats call for the masses is to push the socialist agenda and drive all taxes RICH OR POOR up. Not only does the rich class in Mr.Obama's agenda pay more, but the middle class doesn't quite get the stimulus back like we DID get back with Mr. Bush's stimulus. So for my money Mr. Obama has done nothing for me.How 'bout you?

Uhhhhhh!!!!! Newsflash for all you dumbasses that have been sleeping the past half-century. The Republican Party USED to be because of minorities but not anymore. All that changed under the FDR and Truman. The Democrats ended segregation and broke the color barrier. Nice try, but it won't stick. They're trying to make the rich pay their fair share in taxes which is a huge difference. Under Eisenhower, a Republican, the top 1% had a tax bracket of 90%. Bush's stimulus only made the rich get richer. Obama has done far more in just two years than Bush did in two terms. Go back to school and learn your history, Son.
