...please don't make them so bitter.

Has John Kerry made it clear which side he believes is 'in the right' in the Israel/Palestine issue? Yes, he's made several statements to this effect.

Do I believe that 'all the candidates except some whacko fringe candidate only I am noble enough to support' are secretly owned by the vast International Jewish Conspiracy? WHAT? No. What kind of bullshit accusation is that? Is that some sort of backhanded way of calling me a Nazi?

Would it be so terribly unusual for the one of the front runners in a presidential race to talk with various allied heads of state before they actually win the election? No. In fact, the Bush campaign's dialogue with parties in Israel before the 2000 election is well documented, cf Richard Perle's advice to not give up anything before the election. Democratic front-runners have also been known to at least introduce themselves to foreign leaders before the GE.

For your information, I do not support some whacko fringe candidate only I am noble enough to support. I'm firmly ABB, and if Kerry wins the nomination as it appears he will, I will vote for him in November. I can still disagree with him on a variety of issues, this being one of them.
