No, good call Steve.

@Craig & CowDung...I want to clarity something. The group paying for the ads against Tammy Baldwin is named Emergency Committee for Israel. It is headed up by the neo-con Bill Kystol and funded by ultra right wing supporters of Israel. They are tied closely with BiBi Netanyahu's right wing party supporters. The goal of ECI is to pressure the U.S. to take on military action against Iran and support Israel's domestic and foreign policies. Main stream Jewish organizations do not support this extremist group.

That may be the case, but it seems to introduce some gray area to your claim that Baldwin's votes against Iran sanctions are not anti-Jewish.

@Lyle -

How exactly does one distinguish between a mainstream group and an extremist group?

@JRH...As far determining main stream and extremest groups in the Jewish Community is quite simple for Jews. We have our main stream organizations such as AIPAC. AIPAC is supported by the majority of Jews and EIC is not. In addition, if one reads the current debate between Jewish intellectuals, you'd understand the issues. This has everything to do with internal issues within Israel and Netanyahu attempting to hold onto his coalition. Iran is held to be the common enemy of Israel and the U.S. As the game has changed in the mid-east, some are resisting changes to the new conditions on the ground.

@Lyle

Some backup on just what groups israelis support, instead of your own word?

3393 your comment is 89'ed... False. Typical republican lies and deciets.

Bren....it's her record. 'Nuff said.

Tommy is right!

@pull my string Keith Best...What in the hell would you know about Jews or Israel? If Tommy said it, it must be true. Tammy's votes against the sanctions had nothing to do with being anti-Israel or anti-Jewish. A couple of years ago she was supporting the revolutionaries in Iran and she thought the sanctions would hurt their movement. Their movement was crushed and now Tammy supports the sanctions. BTW, the sanctions are working and Iran is on the edge of economic collapse.

@pull my string Keith Best...I see a pattern here. One of Thompson's staffers make unwarranted remarks about Tammy's sexual orientation his son talks about sending Obama back to Kenya and now Tommy is calling Baldwin anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. It's pretty clear that Thompson will say anything to get elected including outing himself as a bigot.

There is a Jewish group that is running ads against Baldwin. They are attacking her for the 'anti-Jew' Iran sanction votes. I think Tommy just picked up on the claims they were making...

Lyle: Have you seen the ads ran by the Jewish Organization against Tammy Baldwin? Are you denouncing them?
What Gives?
I thought you were a man of Jewish Faith? Or does that only apply when it supports your viewpoint?

Only bigot here is the anti Mormon self hating Jew, Lyle Ruble

@Craig...We, as Jews, don't agree on very much. Most of us support Israel but much beyond that it's anybody's game. In Judaism we have no dogma and each Jew is to follow their own conscience. There's an old saying: "Put two Jews in a room and you have at least three opinions".

@Lyle: LOL; so Jews are just like Americans?
Go figure.

@pull my string Lyle Ruble... She voted against similar sanctions several times under Bush too. Unfortunately for your theory, Thompson's explanation makes a lot of sense, given our historical purview.

Tammy is now voting with an eye to the Senate position. That was not previously the case.

Caught on tape! Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson addressed the Tea Party recently and said this:
"Who better than me, that's already finished one of the entitlement programs [as governor], to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare?"

Emulates Romney’s 47% under the bus ideology. We can expect he will be for Vouchers to feed the Vultures . Imagine had Bush gotten his way and passed his bill for Privatization of S.S. All those pensions would have been wiped out by the Great Recession. Our Main Street USA would have been littered with the homeless retirees. Desolation Row would once again thrive. Ahhh The republican way.. Lies/ deceits;

Well said Robert Merlin.

Nothing new with AWD. Oozing with low self esteem and having an EYOR mentality. Already betting against his own country? Typical symptom from Tea Intoxication.

@H.E. Fannypacker....What self loathing Jews are you talking about?

All self loathing Jews Mr. Ruble.

@H.E. Fannypacker...I personally don't know any self loathing Jews.

Well Fannypacker is still using his projection strategies. Exposes her/him for what he/she is made of.
Craig is back to not reading the comments and redundantly repeating questions already answered. Similar to what they claim as their leaders strategies, when it comes to debates. Here is one exhibiting same old mythical right wing propaganda; {Remember when Ryan said; “It took the president two weeks to acknowledge that [the Libya attack] was a terrorist attack.”}
Obama used the word “terrorism” to describe the killing of Americans the very next day at the Rose Garden. “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for,” Obama said in a Rose Garden statement on September 12. {R} lies once again nothing new here.
Now Tommy is out with his bold face distorted truths. Figures it’s the end game so lying will win the day for him.Tommy/Ryan just more sheep for the no,no,no, party of leadership. ..

Well said Lee. Reminds me of their blowhard so called leader of the right wing nuts. Remember when Ryan said; “The administration was blocking us every step of the way. Only because we had strong bipartisan support for these tough [Iran] sanctions were we able to overrule their objections and put them in spite of the administration.” Party of no, no, no integerity.
Even the Israeli President has effusively praised President Obama’s leadership on getting American and international sanctions on Iran, which have significantly slowed Iran’s progress. Republicans infamous for lies/deceits. They even put their lies out in broad sight figuring that their constituents are significantly uneducated and will never comprehend the errors of their ways.
Romney/Tommy have already decided 47% under the bus. Now when they get there. They will start to make room for another 43% that will soon be following. Ahhh the fragrant odor of plutocracy. The cologne of republicans.

The Republican party was hijacked by the extreme elements, who have been so threatened by a non-white president that they've invented the most absurd stories about him. A "moderate" Republican would have a healthy chance to win this election, but no such thing exists anymore. What's scary is that the re-election of Obama will likely drive the Republican party even further to the extreme, as they conclude that their nominee was "not conservative enough". The country does not need a more extreme Republican party, it needs a strong centrist coalition. Until the "rational" Republicans reclaim their party from the tea bag crowd, popular support for their entire party will come to look more and more like the popular support for the tea party (i.e. less than 20%).

And then the rest of the state spends the day asking "who is this guy again? And why do I can about his opinion?"

Bert; Republicans have had a growing division within their so called solidarity. The young republicans before the elections were asked for their support. They gave it reluctantly saying that the present political strategy was to far right and will serve to defeat them. Another group Known as the progressive republicans have similar views as the rifts widen. Reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt. Perhaps with a resounding defeat in this election cycle will stimulate the return of the “Grand Old Party” once again. They have been sorely missed ever since Eisenhower retired.

Republicans introducing the “Poison Pill” back in 2003 to Medicare was a crippling blow of $50 Billion loss per year to the elderly. Consider 9 years times $50 Billion = $450 Billion loss, that our elderly are being demanded to pay for. Tommy/Ryan are from the same flock of sheep. Tommy boastfully states he is best suited to destroy Medicare and perhaps invasions S.S as expendable as well. Austerity has and is proven every day with their failures on financial concerns. Europe with their double dip recessions that Obama avoided by using the F.D.R./ Marrimer Eccles economic solutions that saved us from the Great Depression. Obama saved us from a depression and ended the Great Recession in 27 months . Great Depression took13 years!
Now Tommy/ Ryan/Romney promote precisely the same policies of deregulations as what got us into the Great Depression and the Great Recession. Ahh but then that is what conservatives are traditionalist, reluctant to change from status quo of failing polices of austerity.

LOL you have answered your own question. Nothing new about "Anti" anything with republicans. Remember "Party First" of no, no, no, leadership...Hostage/Ransom political strategies. I can see why your confused... To many Hoffas!

Iran wants to incinerate Israel off the face of the planet.

@Johnny Blade...You better do your research. Iran is in the midst of a financial crisis because they don't have enough reserve currency in either gold or dollars. People in the nation are hoarding both and inflation is out of control.

@3393...Iran may want to destroy Israel, but they're not stupid. Intent and action are two separate things.

Lyle Ruble, Your ignorance is only exceeded by your arrogance. I am always amazed at the childlike naivety of the 60's burnout liberals and their understanding of evil nations.

Russia seals $US4.2bn Iran arms deal
http://www.skynews.com.au/topstories/article.aspx?id=804011

I dunno Lyle, Ahmadinejad comes pretty close to contradicting your 'but they're not stupid' claim...

Johnny Blade; You are in error to think our currencies are based solely on energy. Energy is but one component. A tad more research you require in economics 101.
Just as this 3393 with his chicken do little warring speculations. Just as all Nuclear Nations discovered. Just a whiff of a nuclear attack by any nation will bring about their annihilation. Including Russia and our dear old USA. Iran may be as naive as our politicians want us to believe but Iran is not stupid as you make them out to be. Your judgments are based on your lack of discipline to control your basic prejudices. Which 89s your comments.
Remember when Ryan spun this yarn “When they see us putting – when they see us putting daylight between ourselves and our allies in Israel, that gives them encouragement.”
The Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Ehud Barak,
told CNN, “President Obama is doing … more than anything that I can remember in the past [in regard to our security].”

"another aging sellout political hack who has never worked a day in his life." Are you talking about Reid and Pelosi here???

No, no, no, Tansandy. Pup dog is closer to correct than your illusions of dellusions.

It goes without saying that I am also talking about Reid and Pelosi (the iguana).

PUP Dogy that is why I said you were closer to correct but not sufficant to say you are correct. Your red skirts are showing.

Page 2 of “The Whistle Blowers”
. Mr. Morgan’s fund-raising blitz occurred just as he was expanding his personal injury and trial law practice into the whistle-blower field, with a television advertising campaign and new Web site, named whistle-blower-attorneys.com.
“America is full of crooks who are defrauding the government and investors every day,” Mr. Morgan said. “We are talking about billions of dollars in ill-gotten gains. We win one case and it will pay for our entire national advertising budget.”
Regulations, Regulation. Is What Strikes fear in the corrupt and criminal.
Republicans see us on the Brink as democrat see opportunity.
Could this explain why, there is such a diverse view of the same equation? Republicans see a dwindling ability to extract social welfare payments from the bottom of the Pyramid scheme’s they have designed. Democrats’ see opportunity for our society by cutting welfare payments to the elitist and returning the Pyramid back to its proper position.

Romney and all republicans and corporations seek to stop Obama from exposing their corruptions. While their fines go to the Fed and the gratitude of our citizens goes to Obama. Doing as he said. Holding their feet to the fire!
