"I find her offensive"

John McCain was making a bid for South Florida's Jewish voters, a crucial demographic in a purple state. But then he chose Sarah Palin as a running mate.

    For some, like Sternberg,it is more important to be a dove than it is to be a Jew

    Calling McCain a war monger gives Jews like Sternberg away.

    Although he probably voted for Gore-Lieberman, he would never follow Lieberman's advice if it involves standing up to monsters like Ahmadinajob, Chavez and Putin.

    Sternberg is a dove. The great Polish Pope and Reagan did nothing for him, and he does not care that they freed Poland and tens of millions of others from the claws of Russia's bear.

    This is like the Roumanian villagers. This is like those Americans who delayed our entry into WWII until our battleship fleet was destroyed at Pearl Harbor.

    Sternberg doesn't care if Israel is forced to go back to being 7 to 10 miles wide, a quick tank ride to the sea. He won't mind if our politicians try to isolate Israel until she would agree to such a suicidal thing.

    Sternberg says at least people will be watching Obama, and this is extremely naive. The President of the United States is the most powerful person on earth. He watches you with the entire mechanism and power of our state. You do not watch him.

    His actions and his inactions could easily harm our nation and the rest of the world we consider free.
