Catering to Voters

It is amazing what candidates say on the campaign trail...as I watched them make promise, I stand and see what Hillary, McCain, Obama say to court the Jewish votes and what they say to court that Arab/Muslim vote.

The three cadidates agree that the US is best buddy with Israel and this special relation needs to be stronger and better...like it is not great already. Saying this gets them the Jewish votes usually.

However if a candidate decides to speak to Arab American or Muslim American voters, such voters are out of luck, to hear promises of better relationships with their home countries...since the US has either invaded, or maintains a military presence in these counties. So for the Jewish voter, they always get "We are best friends with your second home Israel" The best promise an Arab or Muslim voter in this country can get is a promise from the candidate to carefully read the intelligence reports on that country before bombing that country. So Arab votes do not even get a promise not to be bombed at home...I find that interesting double standards!
