Romney's trip to Israel.

[madaboutharry]

In my opinion, Romney's trip to Israel will have little influence on "the Jewish vote." The majority of American Jews are democrats. Those who are not are those who already vote republican and Orthodox Jews. In fact, many will see it as pandering. Any commentary that this is going to put the votes of Jews in play is BS. This trip is about the evangelical end-timers Armageddon vote. It is simple as that.

4. More Christian Zionism...

5. This is all about Iran

and loading up the plane with Bebe's money. Repukes need the AIPAC vote and the Mormons have been doing a support Israel campaign for months now. Funny seeing these signs and Rmoney signs in the same yard.

10. Mormons think they belong to the lost tribe of Ephraim.

The LDS Church considers the Book of Mormon one of the main tools for the spiritual gathering of Israel.

6. There is only one President at a time.

What does he think he's going to do? I'm guessing he's fund raising and lying about Obama again. Watch for another opinion piece in a foreign paper by his foreign policy person.

7. Is he going there to pick up more bags of laundered money from Sheldon Adelson?

8. Israel Has Most Important Influence in American Politics

Romney is talented one, so he knew that without support of Israel winning in American politics almost impossible.

9. Supposedly he's close friends with Netanyahu

Their friendship goes back to 1976 when they both worked for Boston Consulting Group. And at Bain Capital, Romney worked with Netanyahu's second wife. Romney has virtually admitted that if elected, he will be Netanyahu's lap dog.

"...Mr. Romney has suggested that he would not make any significant policy decisions about Israel without consulting Mr. Netanyahu — a level of deference that could raise eyebrows given Mr. Netanyahu’s polarizing reputation, even as it appeals to the neoconservatives and evangelical Christians who are fiercely protective of Israel. ..."
