Locked in her first tough re-election battle in nearly a decade, California Rep. Lois Capps (D) finds herself under fire from pro-Israel activists for what they say is a lengthy record of hostility towards the Jewish state.
Capps—a darling of the far-left J Street and the mother in law of Bill Burton, the head of the Obama-affiliated Priorities USA Super PAC—has spent her political career on the outskirts of Congress’ pro-Israel majority, refusing to back numerous measures affirming the U.S.-Israel alliance.
Her antagonistic stance towards Israel, as well as her association with individuals and organizations that are openly hostile to the Jewish state, could lead voters to embrace former California Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, a moderate GOP heavyweight who is a member in good standing of the state’s pro-Israel community, political insiders say.
Democratic observers are becoming concerned that Capps’ controversial minority views about Israel could become a liability in a race that has grown increasingly close in recent months.
“There are few members of Congress like [Capps]—in either party—but Jewish Democrats will surely sit on the sidelines in this race,” lamented one Democratic strategist who has been following the race. “Of course we don’t want the Republican to win, but her record has largely not been helpful for the pro-Israel community or the US-Israel relationship.”

“of course we don’t want the Republican to win”….now that right there is a stupid remark. As far as I know, Republicans and Democrats are “supposed” to work together to do their job, which is to take care of The United States. But to make a comment like that is so telling and blatent that it says it all in a nutshell. “Vote Democratic, no matter the issue, and no matter if it’s good for the country or not!” This is why we are in trouble, with brain damaged idiots like Capps and the other dimwitted dumbass. OK, they’re all dumbasses. Vote out ALL IN CUM BENTS!!!!!!!!! There is the solution, we can vote them out, and send a message. And Californica of all places needs to rid themselves of their Democrap dimwiths. Along with hollyweird. Shut the place down for a few months, or, even a year, and slash the saleries of all those overpriced, and overblown egos……….it would do them all some good if we all stopped rushing to see their trash in theaters. Face it, most movies these days is garbage, just pure garbage. Not worth paying these high prices. We could buy our groceries for a week on what they charge to see some of those wastes of time and energy, and huge wastes of our hard earned dollars!
