In this Oct. 1, 1971, file photo first lady Pat Nixon motions to Helen Thomas, left, and Douglas B. Cornell to join her on a platform at a White House reception. Thomas, the irrepressible White House correspondent who scooped so many, was herself scooped by the first lady who announced their engagement near the end of the impromptu reception. Thomas, who used her seat in the front row of history to grill nine presidents and was not shy about sharing her opinions, died Saturday, July 20, 2013. She was 92. (AP Photo/File)

Some just because they fear being associated with someone that's been branded an anti-Semite.
As is oft asked: Just how much power does one lobby have?
Some issues remain unresolved just to be issues. Seems the whole point is to maintain the status quo and regurgitate the same crap for as long as there is a political benefit.
I'm glad the next generation is rejecting "tradition".
