    Lindsey Graham: 'I may have the first all-Jewish cabinet in America'





    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) spoke bluntly about his plans for raising campaign funds for his prospective presidential campaign in an interview published today on “Washington Wire,” a Wall Street Journal blog. Over a glass of Riesling, according to the account, he answered a series of questions, including how he plans to finance his campaign.


    He described “the means” as the biggest hurdle facing his potential campaign, adding:
    If I put together a finance team that will make me financially competitive enough to stay in this thing… I may have the first all-Jewish cabinet in America because of the pro-Israel funding. [Chuckles.] Bottom line is, I’ve got a lot of support from the pro-Israel funding.

    Graham hasn’t made any secret of his desire to curry favor from the RJC’s pro-Netanyahu, pro-Likud board of directors. But suggesting that “pro-Israel funding” may determine his choice of cabinet secretaries (as well as his policies) may make even his potential benefactors squirm just a little bit in light of the purposes to which real anti-Semites who believe “Jewish money” controls the U.S. government might put such a statement.

    Indeed, pro-Israel heavyweights, such as Sheldon Adelson, Paul Singer, and other heavyweight donors of the Republican Jewish Coalition, are emerging as the go-to funders of the Republican Party. Graham’s observation—whether meant lightly or not (or uttered under the influence of the Riesling)— tends to confirm that access to their millions is critical to the fortunes of any Republican presidential candidate in 2016.
    Graham’s Desires



    Back in December, during a trip to Jerusalem, Graham assured Netanyahu that “the Congress will follow your lead” in pushing the Kirk-Menendez Iran sanctions bill. This was an unusual statement for a U.S. senator to make to a foreign leader in that leader’s capital, given the fact that the sitting president of the United States was ardently opposed to the bill and three weeks later vowed to veto it in his State of the Union address.


    Graham is clearly hoping that Adelson and other RJC billionaires will come through for him, although his needs appear relatively modest. After referring to the “pro-Israel funding,” he riffed:
    Can I raise enough hard money to get through Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina with a staff about 75?…South Carolina is unique because I’m from there. So here’s the deal. If I can raise $15 million — that’s enough and that can make me competitive…If I can perform well in Iowa to get some momentum coming into New Hampshire, hit hard here, finish in the top tier, I’ll win South Carolina and I’m in the final four.
    “If I raise the money, I’ll run,” Graham told Fox News Sunday.

    Fifteen million dollars is exactly what Adelson and his wife Miriam provided to keep former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s 2012 presidential campaign afloat for many weeks after its natural life expectancy, so it’s probably a pretty easy get for Graham. (Jim predicted last month that Graham may turn out to be the Gingrich of 2016 given his ardent courtship of the Adelsons for whom Israel—of the Likud variety—ranks as the top priority). Indeed, Adelson last month co-hosted the first official 2016 Republican presidential fundraiser on behalf of Graham at Washington’s Capitol Hill Club shortly after Netanyahu finished his March 3 address to Congress.

    The Israelis must have a ton of blackmail material on Graham. Most likely orgy pics with young boys while visiting Israel going back decades.
    It's rumored that 40% of congress is currently being blackmailed by the Israelis.

    Given the heavy prominence of Dispensationalism in most American Evangelical circles, Israel technically doesn't need to blackmail anybody to get what they want, most pastors running these "Independent Churches" will play the damnation card on their congregation if they don't vote for the candidate with his head the farthest up Israel's rectum. The only thing that continues to surprise me is how much most Jewish Zionists despise Evangelicals, because they depend on them for their political hegemony in this country.

    There is a reason why Rand Paul has been playing nice with Israel and only talking about cutting foreign aid to Islamic countries, and a solid chunk of it lives in his own state, and the rest of it makes up a large enough voting block to sink a GOP primary candidate.

    For the thousandth time, "Israel" is a PEOPLE. Not the PLACE or nation that now sits there.

    But the bible does say something about that place during the end times. All these Israel groveling false Christians would do well to read the damn bible.

    Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which SPIRITUALLY is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
    For you bible illiterate out there. Revelation is the revelation of JESUS CHRIST. That's what JESUS HIMSELF said about "holy" Jerusalem.

    Are you referring to anybody on this forum or just making a general statement about the subject? I ask primarily because I don't see anybody disagreeing with this sentiment, I for one concur with it, though I'd add the caveat that the "people" that make up Israel are the invisible universal church in Christ, just to further drive home the point that anybody thinking that repeating Old Testament rituals is going to get them anywhere today. I was using the term Israel specifically in the context of how most "biblical illiterates" would understand it primarily because that is the context of Graham's ridiculous statements.

    If he keeps talking like this, then I might donate to him. He is waking people up left and right here to the undue influence Israel has over our government even if he is doing it unintentionally. I am not so sure it is unintentional though. Maybe he sees it as his only way to speak out against them.

    Well this is where I leave my daily "$#@! Lindsay Graham."
    “When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, I will rout you out!”

    It's directed at anyone who thinks that God considers any place or nation holy because they've named themselves something biblical. If anything, as the verse points out, Israel is on God's naughty list.

    But no, I'm not directing at any specific poster. Just screaming at the screen like normal.

    Barry Goldwater talked us about the Israeli lobby.

    http://www.azcentral.com/specials/sp...er.html?&wired

    Kolbe: Is the Israeli lobby too powerful?

    Goldwater: God, yes, way too powerful.

    Kolbe: Has that had some detrimental effects on what comes out of Congress?

    Goldwater: Yes. See, we have no treaty with Israel, but we have pledged ourselves to go to war if she has to go to war. And there are some of the actions that some of the Israeli groups take that, at times, I've felt would hasten that day when we have to live up to our promise. I can understand the feeling, but I'm getting awfully tired of the great influence they have and there's no question about it.

    The last example was when we wanted to fulfill our promise to sell Saudi Arabia some F-15s. We sent them a few, but then the Israeli group got up in arms and, by God, it stopped. I think the first tabulation we got, 65 senators were opposed to it before any debate or any discussion. And that's held true with every weapons system that we've wanted to sell any of the Arab countries.

    Kolbe: Why do they have that influence?

    Goldwater: They have it because, you take the big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, they have a tremendously large Jewish population and a lot of money, and these senators just cater to that type of influence. But like the influence of the labor unions, the National Rifle Association, the American Medical Association, and we could go on and on and name the influences that, while not as strong as Israel, have a great strength. And they make it hard for a man to run when he can't get money, when he has a large dedicated group against him. The tendency then is to overcome that strike by going along with them (the special interests).
    Here is a section from Goldwater's book, Goldwater (published in 1988, pgs 16-17), where he talks about Political Action Committees, lobbyists and, in particular, the Israeli lobby.

    Quote Originally Posted by Barry Goldwater

The reasons for the growth of lobbyists are clear -- the breakdown of congressional leadership and the seniority system, as well as the proliferation of committees.

    Lobbyist have money, too. I always told them the same thing: If they wanted to contribute to one of my campaigns, fine. If they gave me campaign funds so I'd vote their way, they could get the hell out of the office. A lot of them never came back.

    I was never put under greater pressure than by the Israeli lobby, nor has the Senate as a whole. It's the most influential crowd in Congress and America by far. The Israelis can come up with fifty votes or more on almost any bill in the Senate that affects their interests. They went to extraordinary lengths to get me to vote for them, even sending some of my dearest and closest Arizona friends, like Harry Rosenzweig, to lobby me in Washington.

    The Israelis never raised the fact of my being half Jewish, but they stressed protecting Israel in the event of war. I told them over and over, 'Without a treaty, we've already promised to go to war to protect Israel. And the United States is not getting all that much out of the deal. I think Israel is doing pretty well. I don't worry about Israel when I go to sleep at night. I worry about the U.S. Constitution, which I've sworn to uphold -- not Israel's constitution, not that of Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, or anybody else in the Middle East or the world.'

    That usually shut them up, but they often went away mad because I was not about to support everything they wanted."

    Barry had guts, not likely to see any other politician say all that now. The lobby has grown even stronger.

    Speak for yourself, this Christian is skeptical of allowing people to hold dual citizenship with Israel, let alone allowing such people to hold public office. Learn to distinguish between Dispensationalist nutters like John Hagee and the real thing, those who understand The Gospel message have no interest of being ruled by people who think that Jesus is boiling in a pit of excrement for eternity.
