Forget for a moment that McCain is running on "I will have a plan" and that you should just vote for him without knowing anything about what his "plans" are. What he said here, in saying this:
My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will preventfrom having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.
...is that the ONLY reason for our involvement in the Middle East is oil. Just oil. Nothing about "protecting our strongest ally in that region", nothing about Israel. So tell all your elderly Jewish relatives who think that John McCain would somehow be better for Israel than that schvartze (sic) with the funny name to wake the hell up. And while you're at it, remind them that their current favorite, Sen. Clinton, is trying to emulate Sen. McCain every step of the way.
Israel is nothing but a political cudgel for these people. Ironically, even the apocalyptic lunatics like Hagee and Dobson are more "friends of Israel" than these people, because at least they NEED Israel for their dreams of being raptured home to Jesus can come true. For people like John McCain, who despite his protestations of Baptistry, is as secular a man as you're going to find in the Republican party, Israel need not outlive its political usefulness by even one second.
