Michelle Obama . . . who interrupted her own campaign fund raising appearance in Chicago to complain that there’s too much money in politics. It’s true – read the link. She told the crowd to “dig deep” for contributions, as if this was a tent rvival, then abruptly did a 180 after the collection plate was passed and complained about too much money.


Evidently republicans have too much money, even though candidate Obama outspent McCain 2:1 in 2008, and also outspent Romney in 2012.


George Soros – who at one point was under indictment on 3 continents for currency manipulation, donated $20 million to various democratic candidates and causes in 2008. He remains free in America, and is not expected to be extrdicted to any nation where he is facing charges. Irony alert part 2 – Soros was part of the cabal which funded the “occupy wall street” protests against wealthy Americans.

Money in politics is only bad when it's Republican money. Money from Democrats is inherently clean and disease free, didn't you know that?

i'm hoping michelle found time in her campaign fund raising to speak out about the thousands of anti-semitic leaflets threatening jews with violence which have been blanketing chicago this past week.

No chutzpah needed. There are two separate issues: (1) What does she think the rules should be, and (2) how well does she play by the existing rules. You can think the three-point shot is an abomination, and campaign for its eradication, but still rain down threes like a master, in the meantime. Most Dems want rules that will reduce the influence of money in politics, but as long as Republicans are getting their way and money rules, the Dems will play that game to the best of their ability. The side benefit of this is that we get to listen to Republicans whining like little girls when beaten at their own game.

Please. The Democrats are the better party when it comes to separation of church and state, which makes them the better party from a minority religious perspective -- including a Jewish perspective. They're not remotely anti-semitic. As for Israel, even the most left-wing of the Dems reflexively vote for anything that comes up asking for a show of support for Israel, no matter how badly Israel is behaving.

Republicans wish they could drive a wedge between Jews and the Democratic party, but it will take more than wishing the wedge existed to do so. Backing policies that most Jews favor would be a good start. Keep in mind that Jews are disproportionately well-educated, urban, and Northeastern. So, backing policies that are favored by the know-nothings (e.g., climate change denial), and that favor the South and rural regions, isn't going to work terribly well for wooing Jews. As mentioned, neither is legislating from an expressly evangelical Christian angle, insisting this is a Christian nation, and so on. Jews should be an easy "get" for the Republicans, since they're disproportionately wealthy and white, and since there's the Israel issue to play, which matters to some Jews in this country. But Israel alone isn't going to do it, especially while the Democrats are every bit as subservient to Israel's wishes as the Republicans.
