SHALOM, LEHITRAOT

WITH G-D'S HELP, we leave Sat nite with our grandson Jonah for a pre Bar Mitzvah tour of Israel.This will be his first trip there,and of course we are excited.
We have already voted by absentee ballot in Fla.
The mess with Clinton asking Meeks to drop out to help Crist to me sounds like a poorly thought out plan.
COULD THE DEMS TRUST CRIST?
WOULD EVERY MEEKS VOTER AUTOMATICALLY VOTE FOR CRIST,OR WOULD SOME BLACKS STAY HOME?
AT A TIME OBAMA WANTS TO MOBILIZE BLACK VOTERS,IS THIS THE BEST STRATEGY?
IF THEY WANTED TO MINIMIZE THE MEEKS VOTE,WHY DID OBAMA COME TO CAMPAIGN FOR HIM?

HOPEFULLY ELLI WILL FIND TIME TO BLOG NEXT WEEK,WHILE I ENJOY THE RESULTS FROM AFAR!

"BALANCED" COVRAGE / THE FRANK LUNTZ UNION POLL

Anyone who is not a Liberal with a capital L knows that the mainstream media and the major networks are anti- Republican, anti-conservative and anti-Fox.Now comes an objective study from the Media Research Center that documents their bias.
From Sept 1 to Oct 25, the 3 networks had 35 stories that labeled Tea Party and Republican candidates as extremists, but 0 Dems were so described.
Reporters called 48 candidates conservative , but only 14 liberal.No candidate was called "ultra-liberal", but Miller and O'Donnell were called "ultra-conservative".
What happens next Tues and Wed when as predicted there is a blow-out for the Reps,is hard to predict.If Raese (W. Va)) and Kirk (Ill) win, they will be seated immediately.
Right now, it looks like Harry Reid will be out of a job.I try to follow all the polls, and all the political blogs I have time for,and it appears that 55-65 House seats and 8 or 9 Senate seats-(could there be a 10th) will change hands.What a wave!

The new Frank Luntz poll of Union members showing that the majority are not happy with the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by unions on the Democratic party.Remember,these funds are union dues,and 1 or 2 unions even went out to borrow money to send to the campaigns.Will there be a price to pay by the union leadership-especially if their candidates lose?

DISTORTED LOGIC

A UN envoy equated a few settlers allegedly destroying olive trees with Hamas terrorism.Suicide bombers,rocket throwers kidnappers,armed thugs who care nothing fOr human life or dignity vs. unproven charges of olive tree destruction.
The other day,after the NPR incident,on one of the internet sites, a well known Arabist in defending NPR, wrote what would have happened if I said every time I get on a plane and see someone wih a yarmulka I get frightened.
I have tried to recall the last othodox Jew who blew up a plane,hijacked a plane,went on a suicide mission and threatened to destroy any non-judaic part of the world.
Anti-semites need no logic to spit out their distorted words.
Sadly we give too much credence to such statements,which allow the world to comment..
