J Street PAC spent $1.8 million & WON 70 of 71 races

JStreetPAC ... broke its own fundraising record again this year, disbursing more than $1.8 million to 71 pro-Israel, ["]pro-peace["] candidates.

Seventy of the candidates won, including all of the incumbents....

Seven Senate and 63 House endorsees from 26 states will serve in the next Congress. Among them are the Chairs or Ranking Members of five committees, including the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Armed Services Committee, and the Chairs and Ranking Members of 32 subcommittees, as well as the chairs of both the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. 

 

For instance:

... in Florida’s 18th district, endorsee Patrick Murphy defeated Tea Party firebrand Rep. Allen West. West went so far as to say that American Jews who support Middle East peace are “not as pro-Israel as they should be.” Murphy prevailed with $30,000 in support from JStreetPAC, as well as strategic web advertising and a mail piece behind him.

 

 

We're so screwed.

I have been stuck -- for what seems like centuries -- with a Democrat congressman whose mental acuity is on the level of a turtle's. Apparently, a good many Floridians are too stupid to recognize human worth when they see it. Or maybe having a congressman with the character and intellect of Allen West is too stark a reminder of their own shallowness and fatuity. Whatever the explanation, Mr. West's defeat is a defeat for our country at large. I have said before -- and I say again -- that Allen West would make a fine American president. Sadly, his fitness for that office is an almost certain guarantee that he will never attain it.
