Why do the intelligent Israeli people go and pick thugs like Lieberman?

I just dont know. The guy is a racist.

Livni is alright. At least she is pretty.
Now she has to unzip for Lieberman to get anywhere.

Natenyaho is not too smart either. He has already had one run at the office.
He wants a second chance to prove himself. Thats terrible. "Please give me one more go."

And poor Barak. He recieved a bad hammering on election day.
He was in charge of the army which lost to Hamas in Gaza.

You do realise that this "moderate" was responsible for 1300+ deaths just a few short days ago?
