..and candidates of BOTH of the parties with a chance to win the Presidency and run our foreign policy BOTH grovel before AIPAC, an organization representing a foreign power. What's your point in regard to AIPAC? Are you saying all lobbying groups should be banned or something, or just the ones that do their job well well should banned, or what? Those who want to lobby the US government to abandon Israel are free to do so. If they can bring more votes with them than AIPAC brings, they'll succeed. No group successfully lobbies the abandon Israel position, so AIPAC gets its way. This type of thing happens all the time in politics. Most Americans don't spend all day thinking about Israel, so we don't really care about AIPAC.
