More good stuff from the amazingly prolific Jennifer Rubin. Where does this lady get her energy?
Lieberman for veep is not a good idea as JR acknowledges. An honorable, talented man and a fine and courageous Senator, Lieberman would make an outstanding peacetime president. But we are in the early stages of a long, hot war (childish Democrat fantasies to the contrary) and Lieberman in the wings for the role of Commander in Chief is worrisome.
My point of view, I freely admit, is ethnocentrically Jewish. Even if Lieberman has the cold steel it takes to push American boys and girls into a Middle Eastern meatgrinder, there remains the matter of ant-Semitism. The howling gale of opposition to George Bush’s prosecution of this just and necessary war is nothing to what a President Lieberman would face.
African Americans take great pride in the thought of one of their own in the White House. Jews need to be wiser. The British left still hasn’t got over Disraeli and Disraeli was an Anglican Christian not an Orthodox Jew.
A Jewish Candidate for president or vice president must have ironclad right wing credentials. Alas, the current crop of Jewish politicians, Snarl Levin and Chucky Shvitzer prominent among them, are scurrilous, left wing hacks.
Personally, I like Mitt Romney if McCain can bring himself to choose him.
