From the Republican Jewish Coalition:
Dear RJC members and friends, Our Republican leaders have been outstanding in their support of Israel. Repeatedly, such leaders as Hon. Steve Poizner, California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring, Congressman Ed Royce and CA Assemblyman Chuck Devore, etc., have visited Israel, befriended the Jewish community, and expressed solidarity with Israel under assault. They have been leaders on pro Israel legislation and worked hard on such issues as Missile Defense, US-Israel trade, and support of Israel under assault.

The thing that stuck with me about my liberal buddies in those years was their extraordinary venom toward the Bush administration.

If you want to really annoy Adeena Bleich, just ask her what it feels like to be a young Orthodox woman running for City Council. I know, because when we sat down recently for lunch at Shiloh's, the first thing I asked her is what it felt like to be a young Orthodox woman running for City Council.

David Klinghoffer writes on BeliefNet:

Jesse Jackson has rightly called Barack Obama's presidential bid a "theological campaign." Indeed, in the primary season, the leading Democratic candidates all correctly emphasized that spiritual values play a legitimate role in shaping political values.
