Bringing it back to the top.

 

Margolis is right. Plenty of opportunist political entrepreneurs on both sides of the aisle. And see his comments about the Dem/Hillary Zionist sugar daddy. Heads I win, tails you lose.

 

But for the modern GOP variant, two factors are paramount.

 

One, you can't lose by being obsequious to the Israel Lobby, and taking their money. Two, in the gerrymandered congressional districts and solid red states that senators represent, the only significant risk to your incumbency is if someone even crazier than you shows up in the primary.

Can't speak for 'box but Lew has been bookmarked here for years. Paul Craig Roberts. Colleen Rowley. Any number of dissenters to the neocon platform appear there from time to time.
