I don't mean to be rude, but this sounds fairly anti-semitic. "It doesn't matter about what all the Christian groups think, what matters is that the Zionists [implied to be Jews?] are buying the legislation".

This might definitely not be your intent - but that is for sure how I am currently parsing your comment.

Agreed.

1. Obviously anti-semitic

2. Not even true. The Christian Right lobby is HUGE and includes evangelical Protestants, Catholics, and LDS.

3. The Christian far right is significant and spent over 10% of the total lobbying spend in the last election cycle.
