Fighting the lobby culture

Paul and Kucinich are the only Congress-critters to speak up for Palestine.

My view is that Kucinich, Paul, and Feingold have been the only Congress-folks capable of truly independent truth-telling. It is my hope that Franken can be a 4th.

Note that it is by now a mainstream meme that the Israeli government can adopt a more pro-Palestinian posture than is acceptable by the US political power structure. This is perhaps why Pat Buchanan called the US Congress "Israeli occupied territory."
