I quote: "I'm afraid Ron Paul is not going to get that much money, like Obama. The jewish lobby doesn't like them, because they are both not unconditionally loyal to Israel in cases when Israel's and America's interests collide. Ron Paul wasn't even invited to that AIPAC republican presidential candidates event. For that reason, both Ron Paul and Obama will probably collect small campaign funding budgets and also get few votes from both jews and evangelicalist christs." Interesting that the first thing you mention regarding a lack of fundraising ability is Jews and Israel. Don't push your luck. |
Ah, now at least I get a clue what you're actually talking about. See, it's not that easy to realize that you are talking about a completely different posting than the one you actually replied to.
There's absolutely no anti-semitism in the statement above, but I can still understand that some people would misinterpret it, believing it has an anti-semite undertone. But it's just obvious that the by far most influential lobby group does indeed have an influence on the voting, and that candidates that this lobby group doesn't support have a certain disadvantage. But that has little to do with the fact that the most influential lobby group in the USA is in fact the jewish lobby. If for example the most influential lobby group was the tobacco industry, things would be just the same: A candidate who openly speaks against smoking would probably not get support from the tobacco lobby, and would thus have a certain disadvantage over other candidates who claim that they support the tobacco industry.
