And the bribing goes on, however slowly or tortuously it takes place. The mafia don at his best.

Sharon isn't honest man so all he has to do is find people like himself but less back-stabing (makes the job a bit harder) to join him. Or as Yair Lapid states: Now that Amir Peretz is the Chairman of the Labor party, his real test will be his ability to come to the major trade unions, those who took the time and trouble to vote for him and tell them: "Thanks for everything, but from the moment I won the election, I don't owe you anything." After all, that is exactly what Sharon did to the Jewish settlers.

ARIEL SHARON IS A BORN LEADER. I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD ISRAEL INTO A GLORIOUS FUTURE.

Yes! A good leader? NO!

Changed your color from orange for whining crying ghetto Jew to yellow for jealousy or green for envy ???? :o)

I mean I know he wasn't a long term resident, just rented there, but the name will always make me think of the rapist.

He's just >perfect< for this country! VOTE SHARON!!!

You are our main man Arik Kadima not Forwards (NYC) but like a horse going for it with strength and wisdom and a swift kick for detractors

Why is the Minister of Justice (?) cohabiting with a man the public perceives as corrupt if not guilty of crimes against the state?

This finally removes the dilemma who one should vote for. Liqud is a bunch of nonentities slipping further into the lunatic right-wing fringe and Avodah is a collection of inert nonentities. Arik and his party are the only way forward, and every Israeli voter who wants coexistence with the Palestinians, peace, economic progress and ironclad security cannot but VOTE KADIMAH! Kadimah im Sharon: for an Israel secure in itself, secure and prosperous in its borders. Long live King Arik!!

Shinui has lost a lot of credability of late and its first priority should be to team up with Kadima. I agree that Arik has done some very shady things and what kind of a dad let's his kids take the fall for him. However, according to the State Comptroller, Shinui is not quite as squeaky clean as it should be. Tommy and the Shinuinikim should put the National Interest ahead of all others and join the new party. Only then will there be real hope for the future of our country.

hmmmmmmmmm That's a nice name...!!!

ISRAELI VOTERS NEED TO LIST SHARONS 1) ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2) FAILURES DURING HIS YEARS AS PRIME MINISTER ONLY ISRAELI VOTERS HAVE INVESTIGATE AND THINK BEFORE THEY VOTE.

Forward to more corruption. Forward to the '48 borders. Forward to a state of all of its citizens. Forward into the abyss.

No ideology just the leader. No questions only commands from the Arik. Not democracy, but facism in it's purest form. Hail Arik, hail Arik

Not quite Ilan. Sharon did promise withdrawls from areas "that would be painful". The Yesha boys supported him and and he returned to power. They made their beds now they must lie in it. I am still waiting for the right wing to tell me how they intend to continue subjugating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who hate our guts and whose main aim in life is to kill as many Israelis as possible and drive the rest into the sea. My solution: get out of the settlements that cannot be linked to Israeli and give them their state where they stand. Do not have economic ties with them and do NOT allow them to work in Israel, Close the door on these murderers and throw away the key! Anyone who believes that the Palestinian will eventually make peace with Israel is living in a dream. If we don't get them out of our country, our factories and businesses that dream will turn into a nightmare!

Sharon surrounds himself with yes-men and suckers whom he will reward with posts and money!

Sharon the soldier used to say "Acharei", now the politician says "Kadima", may the change be for the good of the people of Israel, that almost deserves it.
