I Like Mike

Congressman Mike Pence (R-Indiana) has been a stalwart supporter of the American-Israel alliance. He recently introduced an amendment to the foreign aid bill that would prohibit groups that deny Israel's right to exist from receiving American (taxpayer dollar) foreign aid. The amendment passed 390-30.

Of the 30 members of Congress who have no problem with giving money to groups that advocate and plan for the destruction of Israel, 27 of them were Democrats.

Baird Capps Capuano Carnahan Carson Christensen Clay Cleaver Dingell Ellison
Gilchrest Jefferson Johnson E. B.Jones (NC)Kanjorski Kaptur Kennedy Kilpatrick Kucinich LaHood Lee McDermott Miller George Moran (VA) Rahall Slaughter Stark Waters Watt Welch (VT)

And would that be Indy's Julia Carson that voted for Israel being driven into the sea? And our first Muslim Congressman (Ellison) is a Jew hater? Go figure.

Sadly, Carnahan is from my state! As far as those who voted for the bill, you can also exclude those who are running for president. Unless they've shown a pro-Israel existence record before, it's usually just "give me your vote" hype.

Sigh, Bush was supposed to be a friend of Israel. Now he thinks Israel should give up land and put up with the terror attacks anyway. Grrr.

At least our congress is seeing the need to protect our most consistent ally in the middle east.
