Some Say Growing Icy Relationship
(mostly GOPers say that - a few DEMS, too, but why???)
GOP National Pollster and GOP Strategist
(John McLaughlin - no, this one, not the older one)
The 47 GOP senators letter warning Iran about Obama being ineffective, etc., vis-à-vis any nuclear deal plus the reports on icy relationship now between the United States and Israel are troubling news on kinds of levels. Then plug in this one. Call it the standard GOP dirty tricks playbook special one only a Karl Rove would cling to and milk for all it's worth ...
From the NY Post (Fred Dicker article) about the Netanyahu-McLaughlin ties.
A top GOP strategist and pollster for newly re-elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that New York Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, “will pay a heavy price” at the polls next year if they don’t break with President Obama’s policies on Israel and reject any deal he makes with Iran.
A bit more here on that Republican
pollster John McLaughlin from various sources.
McLaughlin also worked as a pollster for Netanyahu in
the Likud primaries in 2005, and later as a Likud campaign adviser in 2009.
McLaughlin’s recent clients have also included former GOP congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) during in his devastating defeat in a republican primary, and for the unsuccessful NYC mayoral campaign of supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis.
Apparently Netanyahu likes working with American Republican
strategists and pollsters ... and it's legal (I surmise). But the dirty tricks like now - we outta to know the sources and links - and with this story, now you do.
As for me, it stinks. Too bad a lot more people didn't see the links to figure out why all this hype from the PM about this yet-to-be-agreement with Iran has American GOP ties; maybe not directly, but by extension with that nasty 47 senators' letter. In total, it smacks of the worst kind of nasty political propaganda and at that level.... very very dangerous too.
