Oh, so because I typically vote Republican, I have to agree with every opinion they make? At any rate, I don't see Senator Graham addressing his views here in relation to Emanuel's politics vs. Israeli security. Where is it? Not there, right? My own view of Emanuel comes from the fact that he's usually a big mouth who was largely silent when Clinton was inviting Arafat to the White House to discuss "regional security". We all know Israeli security certainly wasn't solidified by these talks. In fact more violence actually resulted for Israel. I have yet to see any statements from Emanuel condemning this approach. On the plus side, Rahm is a Clintonite....which means you can forget Obama taking the country extremely leftward. But nevertheless, he has shown me something that he follows the pattern of those who travel with the left in America. Ideology first.
