How AIPAC, the Israeli lobby, set an El Paso Democrat right!

Congressman O'Rourke was one of the few who voted against an aid package to Israel following this summer's Gaza war. Overwhelmed by the swift avalanche of Jewish criticism, the young man won't ever make the same 'mistake' again.

It took only one wrong vote to teach a freshman Democrat from Texas how sensitive, and even wrathful, the Jewish community can be when it comes to Israel.
But the real story of what happened to Rep. Beto O’Rourke did not stop with the angry reaction he got when he cast one of only eight votes in Congress against special funding for Israel’s Iron Dome rocket defense system during the recent Gaza war.

That sucks. When someone does something right, they get beat down until they make sure not to do it again. Sad.

People who type "joos", "mooozlims", "ragheads" and other immature purposeful misspellings really should not speak regarding mideast foreign policy.
The Congressman, who just wanted to excercise fiscal responsibility (Republicans should admire that) was jumped on and accused of being an Israeli enemy. How pathetic

Can I up vote this? You really need to be a fool to type these misspellings in on purpose.

Which is what the good Congressman should have said to the Jewish Mafia in his district. When less than 1% of the electorate can control 1 congressman, Mafia is the only word I can come up with to adequately describe the effect.

El Paso, a city with a 70% Hispanic majority, has a relatively small Jewish community, estimated at 4,000, amid a population of some 862,000. But Jews are well represented on O’Rourke’s donor list, with local businessman Stephen L. Feinberg among the top contributors to his campaign.

Everyone who supports fiscal responsibility, spending cuts, and peace in the Middle East is an anti-Semite. That's Poliboard 101. Try to keep up.

Anybody who is stupid enough to think he voted that way due to "fiscal responsibility" is a moron who is not worthy of notice.

O’Rourke, in a Facebook posting, tried to explain his vote. “I could not in good conscience vote for borrowing $225 million more to send to Israel, without debate and without discussion, in the midst of a war that has cost more than a thousand civilian lives already, too many of them children,” he wrote. He also stressed that with an aid package for Israel up for a vote in two months, he felt no need to rush more spending without adequate debate when Congress was all but empty.
Isn't that what all politicians lately do? "I didn't vote/voted against XYZ because we wanted to discuss it first so it didn't have merit at the time".

The reactions, as Bruck reported, included a mass email blast labeling O’Rourke as “an anti-Israel congressman” and denouncing his vote as “shameful.” Critical local press coverage included a public comment by one of his own Jewish donors to the El Paso Times that in voting as he did, O’Rourke “chooses to side with the rocket launchers and terror tunnel builders” of Hamas.
The horror
No other pac does this when a vote doesn't go their way. Also, Fox and Msnbc do this to a different politician twice an hour.
