If the teabaggers were interested in AIPAC, Palestinians or the Mid-East I expect he would have been. What would be interesting would be if the teabaggers came to be interested in having Israel and AIPAC so involved in US Mid-East policy. But were that to happen, things could turn ugly fast. Ron Paul is no fan of Israel or their influence on American policy, but he doesn't seem to be directly involved.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
