Early signs of gloom for Orly Taitz in California
"Clearly the anti-incumbent fever is grabbing the nation. The Tea Party continues to be a force operating outside the traditional establishment, but the really important contest not even mentioned in this article at all is Orly Taitz, who ran for California Secretary of State. Despite her "birther" credentials, Orly was backed by the Republican Jewish Coalition and only 24 hours ago, was being touted in the corporate media as a likely victor, She lost. She not only lost but she was crushed. IN an election dominated by women, Orly despite her Jewish support, lost to a football player who barely campaigned at all. The message here is that our "America needs leaders who put American first, second, and third" message is getting out there. Orly's webwite promotes the required pro-Israel agenda, and Orly was doing the mandatory visit to Israel even while still exploiting the birther nonsense to get her name in the media. But it did not work. This friend of Israel was clearly sent a message she is no friend of America. Good on the Californians! Good for America. Let us keep it up!"-- Wake the Flock Up Strange; none of that appeared in my Boston Globe.
