		<description>&lt;p&gt;Indeed. Joe Lieberman’s dishonesty is Joe Lieberman’s dishonesty. It has not much more to do with the fact that he is Jewish than it has to do with the fact that he is a snot nosed brat who loves having people waiting on him hand and foot and praising him just for being Joe Lieberman. Or also, his being Jewish is no more of a factor in his being a jerk than the fact that he has a nose on his face. Joe Lieberman is a jerk. It wouldn’t matter if he was Jewish or Mongolian. He is just an out an out jerk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I made the call to my Senator, Senator Boxer, to oust Joe from his chairmanship.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Whoa there.  Might want to wratchet back on the scary jews rhetoric just a tad, given that it isn’t remotely all jews — nor is it only jews (Dick Cheney?  Hello?!?) in that neocon worldview cabal.  Precise use of language and targeted ire, please, and we’ll all be happier for it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;We thought we were doing the right thing, didn’t we? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To those of us you who didn’t support Obama and wanted Clinton, as a woman I understood much of your disappointment.  For me it wasn’t a gender issue, it was all about our foreign policy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But for those of you who wanted her precisely because of her foreign policy,  you are about to become the true winners of this election.  Because from all sources -it looks like she’s our new Secretary of state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When it comes to our Middle East policy in particular and our war policies in general, Clinton is a violent hard liner, in my oponion.  To cross the aisle and join with the entire Republican coalition, and with Joe Lieberman and the other Democratic Jews in the Senate, to defeat Senator Feinsten and the majority of Democrats who simply wanted to place a moratorim on the use of those child maiming cluster bomblets- this ‘mother’ of mothers teamed up to defeat the bill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel has crossed the line over and over and over.  And most of us chose Obama over Hillary, in part, to finally put a check on their power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why in the fu** are small coalitions of Jews here and in Israel allowed to run our government??&lt;br /&gt;
We’ continue to pretend we don’t see Israel’s barbarity against every poor Arab who refuses to kow -tow to there one sided self centered demands. Withholding food and medical assistance??  Stealing their money??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not one American would put up with that if Israel were our neighbors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Obama’s first foreign policy decision be the handing over of his foreign policy to a well known lobbyist/supporter for Israel,  is a stunning blow to the future much of the world looked forward to, and that baggage brings major impediments to any quick progress. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another subservient American government official bowing over to A*I*P*A*C -because everyone who doesn’t believe in cluster bombs must certainly be an anti-semite. Right??&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;And I agree, but he might not.  That might be the deciding factor.  They can always revisit the subject if his health takes a turn for the worse.  As for right now, did you see him on MSNBC a few minutes ago.  He looked remarkably well!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m certain Kennedy intends to work on that at the Senate level, but I’m not certain we can expect more from him than that given his health circumstances at the moment.  Truly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Actually, though, I can’t see anyone more qualified to do the healthcare program than a doctor!  He has all the qualifications and creds.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;That’s what I’m hoping for, but if not, at the very least, Surgeon General?  I know they want someone to carry the healthcare thing forward.  Perhaps Hillary.  Maybe even Kennedy (he actually has owned this issue for a long, long time!)?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;And by that, I mean Health and Human Services, not Homeland Security — sorry for confusion if there was any.  Am doing twenty things at once here this morning…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
