Romney
Romney’s speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition today, released two hours ago:
Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. Appeasement betrays a lack of faith in America, in American strength, and in America’s future….
He has visited Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iraq. He even offered to meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Yet in three years, he has not found it in his interest to visit Israel, our ally, our friend, the sole Middle East nation that fully shares our values, the nation in President Truman’s words, that is an ―embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.
No, over the past three years, President Obama has instead chastened Israel. In his inaugural address to the United Nations, the President chastised Israel, but said little about the thousands of Hamas rockets raining into its skies. He’s publicly proposed that Israel adopt indefensible borders. He’s insulted its Prime Minister. And he’s been timid and weak in the face of the existential threat of a nuclear Iran.
These actions have emboldened Palestinian hard-liners who now are poised to form a unity government with terrorist Hamas and feel they can bypass Israel at the bargaining table. President Obama has immeasurably set back the prospect of peace in the Middle East.
As President, my policies will be very different. I will travel to Israel on my first foreign trip. I will reaffirm as a vital national interest Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. I want the world to know that the bonds between Israel and the United States are unshakable. I want every country in the region that harbors aggressive designs against Israel to understand that their ambition is futile and that pursuing it will cost them dearly.
And Israelis tell him, “Stay home!”
Israelis have a lot of practice at spotting slimeball politicians. They have enough of their own, they don’t want ours.
Saying “Appeasement!” brings in campaign ziodollars?
Isn’t he rich enough not to have to lie and cheat for a lesser-paying job?
What a smile.
Madly and cravenly tugging his forelock and promising to crawl on his belly, while licking the dust, to Israel — and while begging for a crumb from the rich table of the AIPAC billionaires, Republican candidate Romney accuses Obama of appeasement. Meanwhile, Obama folks deliberately rub Isrfel the wrong way, while asking Israel to “shape up.”
Who is appeasing? Who shares whose values?
“President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. Appeasement betrays a lack of faith in America, in American strength, and in America’s future…”.
The Tea Party are going to destroy Mitt. There is nothing he can say that will sate them. Just like there is nothing Obama can say that will sate the Zionists.
I have just kicked my computer screen in, what a slime, this guy would sell his own grandmother, these craven US pols, if they only had one neck.
