If we hasn't destabilized the region with the aforementioned folly, we likely wouldn't be in need of a freind in a hostile region. Think about it we created the one a-holein the region and everyone there now hates us so now the a-hole is our friend. Awesome foreign policy!

Yes.

We clearly provide aid to Egypt for payoff.... We provide aid to others because we need access to fight these idiotic wars...something Israel will never do...at least in SA, Qatar etc we get something for our money...again without the creation of Israel we likely aren't doling out the dough...why don't you answer the broader questions - where's the benefits in the Israeli relationship? The creation? Why do so many congressman go swimming in the Dead Sea? Why so much concern and fawning over this albatross?

Meh we spend all over, I am sure the Muslim Brotherhood will enjoy their new Abrams main battle tanks and F-16 fighters. We have treaties all over the world.

Yes, we pay off regimes to be friendly to Israel, we bribed Egypt for israeli security, we support Jordan to take refugees israel creates, the PA to work with the Zionist oppressor, etc.
Perhaps the Arab spring will change the dynamic.

Seriously, you think the monies we piss away to any country is different than the evil Jews? For frick sake we piss money away all over the world and yet dipshits are constantly pissing and moaning about the fricking Jews? So arming terrorist supporting countries is fine, the Zionist murderers not so much I fricking get it I really do.

So you would be in favor of ending all foreign aid that does not benefit the interest of this nation?

Sure end all foreign aid, key word being all. Nice little reset on funding.

There are three things that AIPAC won't tolerate:
1) an end to all U.S. foreign aid
2) a nuclear-free Mideast treaty
3) Israeli citizenship for Gentiles in the occupied territories

Notice that Ted Cruz gets chastised and labeled "McCarthy" in articles and opinion columns, but Elizabeth Warren gets praised and highlighted for the exact same antics.
Same for Barbara Boxer, Al Franken, Chuck U. Schumer et al.
Warren's gets a story out there celebrating the fact that her stupid questions have become her biggest YouTube hit to date.
Double standard, anyone?
Can you give an example of one question or statement that Franken and Warren have made since the went to Capitol Hill that compares to the things that Cruz has done?

Ill do better than that. How about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid falsely accusing Mitt Romney of paying zero in taxes? Remember any "Nasty Democrat" headlines from WaPo, NYT or Politico over that?

How do you know the claim was false?
EDIT: Keep in mind that Reid ddin't even accuse Romney of a crime, much less a treasonous or unpatriotic act.

Because Reid didn't know what Romney paid in taxes. Reid's accusation was false and unsubstantiated, which WaPo's Ruth Marcus said for Cruz "crosses the line."
