I Vote For Benny, Too!

Reader comment on item: Strange Logic in the Lebanon War
in response to reader comment: We do not need recycled politicians like Bibi. We need Elon!

Submitted by orange yonason (United States), Aug 20, 2006 at 01:06

BS"D

I have to agree with you. We can't go back to those who only speak well, but don't act well. And certainly not back to those who do neither well.

I've been impressed with him, and for a secular solution he's probably the best, if not the only real alternative.

Of course, I'm holding out for Moshiach, may he be revealed soon. But till then, one must do the best one can, and Benny Elon seems far and away the best I can see from here. I just don't understand why more Israelis don't seem to see it that way.
