This article ought to convince the most die-hard liberal supporters of "israel's right to exist" that israel doesn't just want to 'exist' - it wants to supercede OUR own right to exist in our own f*cking country.

This is by far, the most shameless and bloviating israeli *ss-kissing I have ever seen by a member of this nation's congress. THIS WOMAN OUGHT TO BE IMMEDIATELY FORCED OUT OF OFFICE.

Flanked by a banner that reads "Israel shall stand forever," Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein sings a song in a rousing mix of Hebrew and English. U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris is on her feet, stomping and clapping to the beat from her place on the stage.

The predominately Christian audience waves its arms to the music as Eckstein, the founder of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, praises Israel. Next, Harris gets her turn.

"Nothing that we believe in the world would exist without you," she says to Jewish leaders in the crowd. "We're all sort of Jewish wannabes."

Who in the hell does she think she's speaks on behalf???

The event last Thursday, sponsored by Tampa's Pentecostal Without Walls church, was not on Harris' Senate campaign press schedule. Spokesmen said the media were not invited.

The Longboat Key congresswoman's presence in Lakeland -- surrounded by people of faith, tucked away from the cameras and the media frenzy -- provides a window into Harris' Senate campaign, but also into a subculture of voters likely to be drawn to her conservative message.

Here at the small town's convention center, the audience doesn't care about Harris' struggles in the polls or the fact that she only has $1 million left to spend on her campaign.

Here, Harris doesn't talk about the Iraq war, oil drilling off Florida's coast or whether Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, her opponent, is too liberal.

Instead, she focuses on her love of God and gets her message out to hundreds of people without ever mentioning one line from her campaign speech.

JEWS "ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE," she tells the crowd, to uproarious applause and whistles. "YOU ARE THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE."

Hey, what happened to winning evangelical Christian support? She appears to be speaking to an audience of Zionist Jews.

The crowd of more than 1,000 people is part of a movement that believes Jews play a key role in the fate of Christians.

For them, the Rapture -- a miraculous event where Jesus Christ resurrects the dead and sweeps his loyal followers from the Earth -- depends on a complete restoration of the nation of Israel, including the rebuilding of the Temple on the Mount and the reclaiming of all the holy lands.

Some believe the Rapture is coming any day now.

The movement has led to a unique marriage between Christian evangelicals, the Republican Party and pro-Israeli groups across the country. But it has also drawn criticism from some Jewish leaders who fear it provides Christians with an outlet to convert Jews.

Always worrying about themselves.

"It's a problem to many in the Jewish community," said Kenneth Wald, a distinguished professor of political science at the University of Florida and former head of the Center for Jewish Studies.

"They are only seen as a bit player in the larger Christian destiny." But for Harris, it might be a smart campaign stop, experts say.

God forbid she would consider it 'smart' to cater to American interests - seeing as that's what she's paid for.

All signs indicate that Harris needs all the votes she can get, and she's always been popular with conservative Christians, said Aubrey Jewett, associate professor of political science at the University of Central Florida.

Harris' campaign is low on cash and struggling to get voters' attention without having to pay for expensive statewide television ads.

She has been largely abandoned by GOP leaders. While President Bush and first lady Laura Bush made visits to Sarasota, Harris was nowhere to be found at either event.

Targeting the evangelical Christian community is nothing new for Republicans.

But Harris' effort is especially relevant in this campaign season, where episodes such as the Mark Foley e-mail scandal threaten to scare some Christian voters from the polls.

The effort could translate into more votes for Harris, Jewett said. "It makes sense for her," he said.

"Signs are suggesting the Republicans can't just take for granted the evangelical voters this year."

Harris used her time in front of the Without Walls congregation Thursday to praise the Israeli technology her family used in citrus groves to preserve crops.

"We have to stand with Israel," she said. "Our futures are linked."

'til certain death do us part.

She also condemned the United Nations for its failure to take stronger action when the terrorist organization Hezbollah attacked Israel this year.

Can you believe the unmitigated gall of this woman???

"The United Nations should be held to account for its anti-Semitism," she said. When Harris wrapped up, Without Walls pastor Scott Thomas, organizer of the event, reminded his followers to vote for her in November.

Where's the IRS when you need them? No 501(c)(3) for these folks - political campaigning!

Harris' campaign would not comment on whether she subscribes to the idea of the Rapture.

Now, keep in mind, that's where Zionist Jews and Evangelical Christians differ - drastically.

According to Evangelical Christians, only those who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be lifted to the Heavens at Rapture.

All others - including Jews - will remain on earth to perish. Not surprisingly, Jews are not big on that part of the deal. So, Katherine doesn't want to rock the money boat of brotherhood.

But, judging by her declaration that "we 're all . . . Jewish wannabes," and not the other way around, my guess is that she does NOT endorse Rapture.

Harris' team also brushes off criticism that she is not reaching out to a diverse group of voters by meeting with mostly Republican and religious groups.

What's more, many of her events -- including meetings with church groups and Mosaic phosphate mining executives [???] -- have been closed to the public and not on her press schedule at all.

Spokeswoman Jennifer Marks said the campaign simply has a policy to keep some events private, especially because Harris feels she has been treated unfairly by the media in the past.

"It's kind of silly to criticize her for talking to those groups," Marks said. "There's just an effort to get out the base."

This is it, people, it's no longer a question of whether israel has a right to exist in the Middle East.

It's about whether Americans or israelis have a right to exist HERE, in America! And understand that, CLEARLY, we cannot co-exist because, according to Harris and all our other traitorous representatives, israelis are THE CHOSEN ONES. which means THEY come FIRST.
