Flying off to Israel, Dem Congressman laments lack of voting rights in U.S.

Today’s the day that the Democrats in the House arrive in Israel– for One Week– “to learn more”. They’re being paid for by an arm of AIPAC, the leading Israel lobby group that is defying the Democratic president of the United States on Iran policy. They are not going to Gaza.

House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) will serve as the senior Member of a group of 22 House Democrats visiting Israel and the West Bank from August 4th to 10th to learn more about issues critical to the U.S.-Israel relationship and international security.

One of the 22 is freshman Pete Aguilar. From his twitter feed:

There are too many places across America where citizens are denied the right to be heard at the ballot box. RT if you agree: #RestoretheVRA!

This guy needs to get a clue.The Nation has said that it’s “apartheid on steroids” in the West Bank. Palestinians have no rights there, and no right to vote over the government that affects their lives.

Aguilar is a freshman Democrat from California’s 31st District, which is east of Riverside in southern California.

It beggars belief how such people can be so dense.

Perhaps wanna be congress critters and senators should have to pass a test of basic level of intellect before setting them loose on the electorate.

Illegal aka “undocumented” immigrants are NOT citizens . What a moron.

TAKE IT AWAY, LIZA & JOEL:
“A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around,
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go ’round…
…Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money…
…Money makes the world go around,
Of that we can be sure…”
