The Jerusalem Post has an article about the efforts which Jewish Republicans are making to highlight the fact that support for Israel is greater among Republicans than Democrats. Here is a sample: The advertisement, published on a full-page in major Jewish papers across the US, shows Senator Joe Lieberman hugging a voter during a campaign tour ahead of next month's Congressional elections. The headline reads: "Joe Lieberman was a voice of support for Israel.That voice has been silenced by the Democratic Party."

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), which ran this ad, is not standing up for now-independent Lieberman as much as it is trying to make a point - the Democrats aren't as good as the Republicans when it comes to Israel.
Another ad makes this point event clearer: A large photo of former president Jimmy Carter alongside a quotation of his during the Lebanon war this summer: "I don't think Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon."
Below that is another questionable Carter statement: "I represent the vast majority of Democrats."
Other ads show Democrat activists Cindy Sheehan and Rev. Al Sharpton, with Sheehan quoted as saying that if the US withdraws from Iraq, and Israel does the same from the Palestinian territories, then the problem of terror will be solved.
A statistical figure presented in all the ads of the RJC claims that surveys have found that the support for Israel among Republican voters is almost double that among Democrats.Democrats dispute the conclusions of a Wall Street Journal poll from July 2006 on which the Republicans base their claim that their party members are more supportive of Israel. The Democrats argue that the methodology of the survey and the wording of the questions did not produce a correct portrayal of American views toward Israel. They also claim that Republicans have crossed a red line in raising the issue, since Israel is supposed to be a subject outside of any internal debate.
[Snip]In their own ads, Jewish Democrats blamed their Republican counterparts for trying to turn Israel into a partisan issue, after years of keeping the support for the Jewish state out of the partisan political ring. To illustrate their point, the Democrats show in their ads Menachem Begin standing alongside Ronald Reagan, and Binyamin Netanyahu shaking hands with Bill Clinton. The message is clear - both Republicans and Democrats have always been supportive of Israel.
The fact is that support for Israel has been a bipartisan matter for decades. It is only in the past few years that has begun to change. And the reason for that change is that the Democrat Party has been taken over by people like this:
Take a good look. This asshole is the new face of the new 21st Century Democrat Party. A party which has become a wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros' empire. If you are a Democrat who doesn't think this way and believe that you can take the Party back from the wackjobs like this then listen up.
YOU CAN'T.
There aren't enough of you. There weren't enough of you to keep a moonbat dilettante political beginner without a real hope of winning the general election from beating Joe Lieberman in the Democrat primary in Connecticut. If you don't hate Jews you don't belong in the Democrat Party any longer. If you don't believe that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Saddam and Kim are all morally superior to George W Bush you don't belong in the Democrat Party.
Face it if you aren't crazy as a shithouse rat the Democrat Party is no longer your political home.
