(113,040 posts)Both camps are planting pro-Bibi, anti-Kerry propaganda with their reliable mediawhores these days.
Just like they did in 2004.

(1,284 posts)You totally should read the analyses I've read on a few poorly designed blogs ran by people with zero valid credentials.
Start with truthtopower954848.thisblog.com and work your way down the rabbit hole. Only then will you see the light!

(29,503 posts)begun to realize that Republicans are going to get trounced for the next few election seasons.
Thus, rather than continue touting GOP talking points, they've decided to secretly support the most conservative Democratic candidate possible - and hope to work with her after she is (they hope) elected president.
This story is a transparent attempt to curry favor, laying groundwork to establish bona fides post-11/16, 'see how much we wanted you? can we get an exclusive?'

You need to be able to work with people at high levels of politics and the diplomatic corps.
