I will be at the tag end and I know that our candidate, Mr. Sestak, will be a great candidate, but the question about why many dems supported giving cluster bombs to Israel reamins unanswered. My suspicion, is that disapproval of the sale of cluster bombs would open up the candidate for absolute attack. And many are choosing to avoid the attack.

While the question is important, we need great candidates like Sestak in Congress. We will have to address this question at a later time. When we can truly do something about it.

GrandmaJ,

I was upset that Adm. Sestak’s comments about Israel and the Palestinians could have been just as easily mouthed by George Bush or Joe Lieberman. They oozed the same acceptance of collective punishment one shouldn’t find acceptable in progressive politicians anywhere. This kind of pap is disgusting to me. Period.

I correspond with dozens of Israelis who are very critical of their nation’s flawed policies, and correspond with a few Israelis who laud their government and George W. Bush. I’m working on a project right now with a distinguished professor at Hebrew University whose political views put him a bit to the right of Avigdor Lieberman.

That being said, I’ll take an AIPAC shill who believes in universal health care, strong unions and major campaign finance reforms over an AIPAC shill who is craven, selfish, greedy and seedy – any day of the week.

But it doesn’t make it right (as oppose to, Teh Right).

Lots of questions as to why on earth there are even democratic politicians who send Moon well wishes on his efforts to subdue the planet…but Weldon’s staff made one of the most naive statements surrounding that strange crowning story. Danny Davis, after first defending his presence at the ceremony, later stated emphatically that he would no longer attend Moon functions.

But check out this report of naive blindness on Weldon’s part…an excerpt regarding Weldon, after claiming he was duped by the deceptive, manipulative, Moon organization.

http://citypaper.net/articles/2004-07-01/cb.shtml

While Weldon vows that Moon will never again dupe him, his chief of staff, Michael Conallen, won’t rule out Weldon’s attending future events held by Moon’s front group, the International and Interreligious Federation for World Peace (IIFWP), which apparently tricked several members of Congress into attending the March 23 “Crown of Peace” awards at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.

then this:
http://www.hillnews.com/news/062204/moon.aspx

Asked if Weldon’s name appeared incorrectly on the event invitation, Stallings said the lawmaker had been to several previous Moon events: “I can state clearly that Congressman Weldon’s name did not appear for the first time on an invitation for an event that the IIFWP has sponsored.”

You ever ask Weldon how he expects to keep from being duped again by Moon if he doesn’t have the sense to rule out working with Moon’s deceptive organizations? Ever ask Curt if he is too blind to know that the IIFWP is just another Moon front designed to cajole the political structures of the planet and put the Moon organization in control of the direction of world events? That is all Moon’s fronts do, work to give him influence, that’s all they do. Ever ask Curt if supports Moon’s goals?

You ever ask Curt if he ever reads transcripts of congressional investigations into groups he helps? Works with? takes money from?

The UC and numerous other religious and secular organizations headed by Sun Myung Moon constitute essentially one international organization. This organization depends heavily upon the interchangeability of its components and upon its ability to move personnel and financial assets freely across international boundaries and between businesses and nonprofit organizations.

The Moon Organization attempts to achieve goals outlined by Sun Myung Moon, who has substantial control over the economic, political, and spiritual activities undertaken by the organization in pursuit of those goals.

Among the goals of the Moon Organization is the establishment of a worldwide government in which the separation of church and state would be abolished and which would be governed by Moon and his followers.

In pursuit of this and other goals, the Moon Organization has attempted, with varying degrees of success, to gain control over or establish business and other secular institutions in the United States and elsewhere, and has engaged in political activities in the United States.

How do you think your first day as our new Congressman would be like?

Admiral, I want you to know that I am very proud to say that I am one of your many volunteers. I have never volunteered before, because I have never believed in someone enough to give of my time. But that changed as I got to know you.

My district needs someone like you! Thank you for taking this on, and thank you for your 31 years of service as well. I look forward to your victory party!

Jenna

It gives me hope to hear you so positive! Thanks for this article.

Eerie.

Time to go back over to my Hastert-Boehner Radioactivity Watch and see whether any more Republican candidates have canceled appearances by Hastert, Boehner, or other “Leaders.”
