I did not put party affiliation by any name. Party affiliation means nothing.

Wonder why congress rejected the NIE and went with bush? Your answer is listed above. The American citizen who elected these officials has absolutely no say in how their "representatives" vote. Money from the pro-Israel lobbies bought and paid for this vote at the expense of every military person and every ordinary citizen of the U.S.

Now, Du, if you want to censor this post, feel free to do so. it will tell me a lot.

if i didnt see joe lieberman on that. I am shocked thought to see barbra boxer, man i gotta look into her votes and see if her funding is affectig her votes, always thought she was solid.

'representatives' vote."

Surely that's not news.

Can't you start a PAC? If people are willing to contribute money to your PAC, then will politicians refuse to accept the money?

Now we outbid the corps. to get our elected representatives to vote in favor of the issues that they campaigned on. They would just solicit money from both sides. JUST AS THEY DO NOW. tHERE WOULD BE NO DIFFERENCE. We form a PAC and solicit and get millions of dollars. Great. The money goes to the candidate that says they will champion our cause. corporations and special interests solicit and get billions of dollars. The politicians take money from both and do the bidding of the billions. No difference.

Which pro-Israel PACs are corporations that have billions of dollars to spare for political causes?
