Shalom Chaim,
Three weeks ago on " Ask JTF", I asked you about the 2010 Kentucky Republican Senate Race. Since then I have been promoting Trey Grayson on Zootube. However, a few days ago, I came across some information regarding another Republican who is in the race: Bill Johnson. This was attention getting!
I'm going to provide a link regarding Bill Johnson's positions:
http://conservativeamerican.org/conservatives/official-sarah-palin-fan-club-conservatives/palin-needed-in-kentucky-senate-race/While the vast majority of Bill Johnson's positions seem to fit the type of candidate that JTF has recommended in the past, one position in particular jumped out. Bill Johnson's position on Israel. It's as follows:
"Israel – I support continued U.S. funding for Israel. I do not believe in a two state solution. I support the Biblical boundaries for Israel and their right to defend their nation against attack".
I realize that JTF is right in opposing Foreign Aid to Israel and Foreign Aid in general. However, being that its doubtful that any Pro Israel candidate in the U.S. understands why its in Israel's best interest not to have Foreign Aid, under that circumstance, Bill Johnson's Pro Israel position is very favorable. Bill Johnson is an exception, not the norm for a Congressional Candidate in supporting the Biblical boundaries for Israel.
In early January, Bill Johnson put $ 250,000 of his own money into his U.S. Senate campaign:

In other words, do we play it safe, sticking with Trey Grayson in the attempt to prevent Rand Paul from winning the nomination or go with a candidate in Bill Johnson who has better positions than the vast majority of candidates we have seen on the U.S. National scale?
Thanks as always, eb22.
