"The State of Israel stands as a singular achievement in many ways and not 
the least is its achievement as the great democracy of the Middle 
East...We were brought together by shared ideals and by shared adversity; 
we have been comrades in struggle and trusted partners in the quest for 
peace. We are the most natural allies and like Israel itself - that 
alliance is forever."

- John McCain, AIPAC Policy Conference 2008, Washington, DC

"I know it's unusual for a Democrat to be endorsing a 
Republican...political parties are important in our country. But they're 
not more important than what's best for our country."

- Senator Joe Lieberman

     * As stated by Morris Amitay, former executive director
       of AIPAC, "I call myself a 'Scoop Jackson' or Joe
       Lieberman Democrat, thereby giving us different
       perspectives on McCain, whom I've known for 25 years...
       I am supporting John McCain's candidacy not only
       because of his outstanding record on Israel-related issues
       but because of his consistent insistence that the number
       one challenge facing the United States today is the
       menace of Islamic extremism."
