Oops! Which Political Party Has An Israel Problem?

There has been an ongoing debate as to what extent the mainstream Democratic party should be held responsible for the Israel derangement of the loony far left exhibited at places such as Daily Kos. People who think the answer is 'a lot' tend to use that to justify support for the Republican party.

But lookie lookie what happened today!

Whatever people say about President Obama, there is only one explicitly anti-Zionist candidate in the 2012 presidential race, and it is Ron Paul. Paul has said that Israel's creation was, quote, "a mistake". He promises to zero out aid to Israel. His campaign even bragged about this hostility to Israel on a flyer targeted at Arab American voters.

Well today Ron Paul the anti-Zionist pulled 41% of the vote in the Virginia primary. His tallies were helped by the absence of the two other non-Romney candidates from the ballot in that state, but the fact remains that 41% of Virginia Republican voters are okay voting for an explicit anti-Zionist.

I'm going to go ahead state that fact again, because it flies in the face of so much rhetoric we've been subjected to about the Democrats' supposed Israel problem:

41% of Virginia Republican voters are okay voting for an explicit anti-Zionist

Ron Paul the explicity anti-Zionist candidate also pulled 35% of the Republican vote in Maine, and 25% or more of the Republican vote in Vermont, Washington, and Minnesota.

Meanwhile it looks like the least pro-Israel Democratic member in the entire House of Representatives (and he's not even that anti-Israel) lost his primary.

So which political party's base has an Israel problem?
