Israel backers big source of Bishop's campaign cash
The SLTrib this morning ran an article about Congressman Bishop getting most of his last quarter's campaign cash from Pro-Israel groups.
My take: Given Bishop's LDS affiliation it comes as no big surprise he's pro Israel - I am too. And really, Bishop has never been big on fund raising. My guess is he really didn't try very hard to raise money this quarter - NORPAC offered to do a fundraiser for him and he did it.
I thought the most interesting quote is Bishop's take on Israel's new Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Bishop says: "Netanyahu would be an excellent American politician." He's right, but given how much aid we send to Israel I'd argue Netanyahu already is...
Zing!
