Hillary might say Bibi has her full unwavering support, but if he tries to gently caress her over, that support is going to waver like a flag in a windstorm after the election. And the rest of the Likud government is going to know that Hillary has a very good chance of winning the election. Deliberately sabotaging the US-Israeli relationship seems like a good way to ruin your career as PM.

Do undecided voters care about Israel? Does US-Israeli relations get people to the polls? I get that its a vector to attack Obama on, but it seems like kind of a weak thing to attack a candidate on during a presidential debate. Pumping up Israel seems like what you do when you are fundraising but its not really something you make an issue.

I don't have any polls to back it up, but I feel like the people who will care the most about it are the diehard religious types. Man, it sure would suck for the Dems to lose that group.

You don't think these people are playing the long-term funding game by appealing to pro-Israel boosters like Sheldon Adelson in an attempt to get some of their sweet cash before FEC regulations kick in by declaring? EDIT: Remember, these are the sort of people who managed to get Chris Christie to apologize to them for daring to use the phrase "occupied territories" in a speech.

After the election all bets are off but up until the votes are counted both candidates are going to kowtow and give sloppy blowjobs to Israel. Nobody is going to be caught saying anything that can even remotely be construed as distancing themselves from Israel. And yes, even undecided voters are going to nod their head in approval when someone says, "well Israel is the only democracy and our very best friend in the Middle East and we need to slurp slurp slurp gag slurp , stand by them, cause who else would help us against the terrorists."

The thing about Israel is that there is pretty much no real loss for either side being crazy pro-Israel. What voting blocs are you going to piss off with it - Muslims and far left liberals? So two blocs that aren't big parts of the GOP base. What does Hillary have to gain in the election by saying anything other then she is 100% pro Israel? I mean, once she's in office she can waffle at least as much as Obama, but it seems dumb to do so in an actual election.

It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep, but there's a phone in their playpen and it's ringing. Something's happening in the World of Little People. Your vote will decide who answers that call. Whether it's someone who already knows where all the toys are on the floor you're going to step on in the dark or whether you're going to have to loving get out of bed again because holy poo poo I told you to pick up before bedtime Randy!!

Scott Walker is accused of telling donors he favors a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, while stating he opposes amnesty publically. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/416052/walkers-flip-flop-flip-amnesty-eliana-johnson quote:The Wall Street Journal’s Reid Epstein is up with a report that, if true — and it is well sourced — will prove very troubling for Scott Walker on the campaign trail. Epstein writes that Walker “told a private dinner of New Hampshire Republicans this month that he backed the idea of allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and to eventually become eligible for citizenship.” That conflicts with statements the governor made as recently as three weeks ago that, in a reversal of his previously held position, he no longer supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship. THE CONSERVATIVE OPTION on immigration!

As an interesting side note, Obama has done a better job of securing the border (except regarding the whole refugee crisis thing) than most of his recent predecessors. Higher percentage of interdiction and all that.

So, I'm an Iowan that is currently Independent, not currently eligible to participate in either the Republican or Democratic caucuses. I'm pretty much a centrist who has yet to see any candidate that I care for yet. The last presidential candidate that I felt feelings stronger than "meh" for was Jon Huntsman, R-Utah. I think that the fact that we could have Bush v Clinton for our next presidential election is about as damning a statement as you could possibly have on how broken the process we have for producing viable candidates for President. There's almost zero chance that a meritocratic selection process would choose a third Bush and a second Clinton for the nation to choose from. Is there any strategy that I can take to try to un-gently caress this situation? Can anyone make a compelling argument why I should register as Republican vs Democrat to participate in caucuses to either promote a worthy candidate, or to try to sabotage the candidacy of a particularly evil person? (there's going to be a hell of a lot of them) Ginger Beer Belly fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Mar 27, 2015 |

I'd forgotten the fun of watching candidates slip knives through each others' ribs like that, with leaks and rumors meant to discredit and put someone on the defensive. I wonder if one of his opponents was responsible for getting that information to Epstein, and which one?

Barring a Democrat challenging Hillary by trying to steal Iowa early, no not really. Bush is probably among the least evil of the realistic GOP candidates in IA, so even sabotaging him won't help your main goal.
