Looks like the Neocons won themselves a big one

I’m not shocked by too much these days but this is a shocker:
Republicans by a ratio of more than 2-to-1 say the U.S. should support Israel even when its stances diverge with American interests, a new Bloomberg Politics poll finds. Democrats, by roughly the same ratio, say the opposite is true and that the U.S. must pursue its own interests over Israel’s.
These are the flag-waving hyper-patriots — the one’s who yell “love it or leave it”. I get that Israel is a major ally and one to which we’ve pledged our support. But since when do patriotic Americans believe that our government should put the interests of any foreign country above the interests of our own? WTH? That used to be called treason.
There must be something wrong with that poll. If Republicans are so addled that they don’t understand what they’re saying here we’re in bigger trouble than I thought.
