No ttystikk actually brings up a very valid point. The Israel lobby is but a drop in the ocean compared to the influence wielded by the christian zionist lobby. It comes down to the shared belief of the end times and rapture as described in revelations. This ideology is pervasive among republican senators and Bush II was a big supporter during his tenure in the oval office.No, you just have success envy.
Shameful.

Abstract
Assessment of the Israel lobby in America has been a recurrent topic in academic literature
from a broad variety of political viewpoints. However the focus has been upon the Jewish
lobby and organisations such as AIPAC. Little attention has been paid to the larger Christian
Zionist lobby, which often provides stronger and much more determined support for Israel.
This paper seeks to provide an understanding of American Christian Zionism through an
analysis of the beliefs and political effect of two key organisations, Christians United for
Israel and Christian Friends of Israeli Communities.
