1. He also lost a lot of respect from me as well

when he said that he would move the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jereusalem.

I also didn't like his last statement on the page:

Authorizing Diplomatic and Military Action on Iraq

Recognizing the threat posed by Iraq to the U.S. and our allies in the region, Gephardt worked to forge a bipartisan policy in 2002 authorizing the president to engage in diplomatic and military means to address this threat.

It was on the page entitled "Record on Israel and Related Issue"

Does that mean he supported the war in Iraq because it threatened Israel's security???

And the nerve of him to not even mention the Palestinians.

2. This hasn't helped Gephardt's campaign

If the aide did, indeed, threaten the unions, and Gephardt does nothing to her, what message does this send to the unions that endorse him? He needs to do something about this, and soon, or he'll lose more than respect, imho.
