SEVERSON: Unlike Sarah Palin, Lori is pro-choice and in favor of gun control. She’s very worried about the economy, but again, the threat of terrorism trumps all.
Ms. LOWENTHAL MARCUS: I know people who have lost their jobs. It’s terrifying.But the idea of an entire nation being wiped off the face of the earth — if we are not alive, doesn’t matter how much money we make or what kind of job we have.
SEVERSON: Not far from Lori’s house, David Broida, a writer who also runs a tennis center for kids, is a devoted Jew for Obama. He was there at the convention. Broida supports Obama for the same reason that Lori opposes him.
DAVID BROIDA: I am just as concerned about Israel, Israel’s security, but in my judgment Barack Obama is the better candidate on Israel for American voters.
SEVERSON: Why is that?
Mr. BROIDA: We’re interested in negotiations. Israel is in a very precarious position, with Iran being armed with nuclear weapons probably or going to be. So we need to be thinking in terms of diplomacy, and we need the best diplomatic team out there.
[blockquote]She is a Democrat, first for Hillary Clinton, now for Barack Obama even though Obama is pro-choice and the Catholic bishop in Scranton wrote a letter saying that voting for a pro-choice candidate amounts to endorsing murder. But Mary Kate says the Democratic Party best reflects the ideology of Catholic social teaching, such as caring for the poor and working for the common good. Abortion is not the only important issue for her, although it seems to be the most important issue for many Catholic Church officials.[/blockquote]
Such confused thinking. There’s a big difference between using the power of the State to prevent the infliction of actual harm on someone or something and using that power to bestow a positive benefit on someone.
Jesse Jackson recently assured voters that the ‘Zionist’ element in the US government would be radically reduced or eliminated under Barak Obama’s presidency. So with that in mind, how in the world can Jewish voters support Obama?
Obama’s former (until she slandered Hillary Clinton) foreign policy advisor Samantha Power is no friend of Israel, either. [url=http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/02/samantha_power_and_obamas_fore_1.html]LINK[/url]
Libraryjim, the answer is simple: Sarah Palin.
There is no evidence that Jackson will have influence in the Obama White House. Chances are Obama will have a foreign policy like the first Bush, or like Carter. Obama does lack an anti-Muslim instinct.
Sorry, that answer does not compute.
Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than Obama is. At least she has executive experience and has voted other than Present in most of her actions.
Obama has come out on more than one occasion friendly to the enemies of Israel, and did not answer how he would act if Israel were to be attacked.
Nope, Obama would be no friend to Israel.
PS,
Another reason the answer is totally bogus:
Obama is running against JOHN MCCAIN for President. Not Sarah Palin, who is only the Vice Presidential candidate.
But the Obamamaniacs don’t resort to logic much, do they?
“Obama is running against JOHN MCCAIN for President. Not Sarah Palin”
True, but McCain’s choice of Palin reflects (for better or worse) on McCain’s own judgment. Palin would also, of course, be our president if the oldest man ever elected president did not serve out his term.
As Joe “the six term senator” Biden reflects Obama’s judgement. Someone firmly entrenched in Washington politics, and one of the most partisan members of the senate.
“As Joe ‘the six term senator’ Biden reflects Obama’s judgment”
Certainly. Sounds like we agree that a presidential candidate’s VP choice is relevant to our judgment about the candidate.
In other words, they both picked someone who would appeal to their party’s “Base”.
