Better for whom?
Reader comment on item: Democrats, Republicans, and Israel
in response to reader comment: The Jews will keep voting Democratic
Submitted by Ira Weiner (United States), May 23, 2006 at 19:02
As an American Jew, I should be torn. The Republican party is better for Israel, but the Democratic party is better for the US, Then I remember - a few more years of Republican arrogance, mismanagement, corruption, brazen unlawfulness, fiscal idiocy and plundering and the US will not be in a position to do anybody any good - and the conflict resolves itself..
