    Marco is right, Palin is a Nazi at heart. Yeah, she carries a star of David flag and wears an Isarel pin -- just like every other bible thumping snake charming fundamentalist end times fanatic in America. They're still anti-semites. With Palin and her pastors, you can look it up.

    Barack on the other hand is a thinker. He may not be on board all the way with the Jewish lobby, but he is going to do right by the Palestinian/Jewish question. He is from Chicago -- a tough anti-semitic town if ever there was one -- anyone ever seen Good Times, heard of Louis Farrakahn or remember Jesse Jackson's hymie town remark on NYC? For me, that just makes Barack more balanced, not anti-Jew. We are never going to make the Arabs happy by giving Israel everything it wants.

    So, with Barack you get balance and the benefit of his Islamic upbringing in Indonesia and Chicago perspective on the Arabs. With McCain and caribou barbie, you get bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Why would any thinking person choose McCain?
