How ironic...the Jews in America mostly vote for the Democrats...

nostatic 08-21-2004 08:56 AM

that just shows you how bad of a job they think Bush is doing.

Bush is also extremely friendly w/ Sharpton. Really. And yes, I can prove it.

I don't know how to post swastika avitars, so could you help me Jason, and put one that turns into Bush's name for me? TIA.

Nostatus if you are implying that the Jews are voting Democrat because of GW...your full of ****....

Demographically they have always voted Democrat...now they are being faced with a corundrem ...voting traditonaly, for a party that is now at odds with Isarel or switching side to the Repblicans that are more sympathetic to Israel.

EDIT: The above was meant to be sarcastic and directed at Mulholland for posting swastikas, (an extremely unwise practice no matter what the purpose/intent, IMO), but in hindsight this was in bad taste on my part.

I sincerely apologise to anyone that might have been offended by my post.

For the record, I do not consider Bush a nazi by any stretch. I do stand by my assertion that he is on friendly terms w/ Sharpton. :cool:

Hmm, bush's saudi buddies sure do appear to have the specified dems beat when it comes to anti-semitism.

Wasn't it also reagan that went out of his way to put a wreath on the graves of dead SS soldiers in bitburg germany one time while stating that those nazis were "victims just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps."?

I would say right on both counts....

Politics makes for strange bedfellows......(and convenient memories)

strange bedfellows
 
The big difference is "bush's saudi buddies":rolleyes: have lots of money, real estate and black goo. . . .he had better be cordial with them . ...in fact it goes with the job.

The Kerry/Sharpton bed is what? . . they see eye-to-eye in their pursuit and boyhood dreams of power?

In the 50's-early 60's the labor/Jewish/Black supported the Rep party rather strongly. The Dem's Great Society program evolution was improperly managed by the Rep party, The Rep mgt didn't give it the attention it could have 'cause of cost/benefits misconceptions. They screwed it up.

These voter groups still harbor a "guilt" of having to support the party that 1st recognized them. The logic of supporting the party that will do them the most good is the responsibility of their specific group leaders. New mgt is usually only recognized after a crisis.

In the 1920s, the eastern Jewish vote was 80% Republican. In the 1930s the Jewish bloc vote shifted to the Democrats because (most likely) of Roosevelt's opposition to the Nazi regime.
I would not be too disturbed by Kerry rubbing shoulders with that racist buffoon Sharpton. If Kerry gets elected, Sharpton will not get the time of day from a Kerry Administration. Kerry also pretends to be a protectionist when talking to the appropriate audience, but his political history shows he is a free trader, and would likley remain so if elected.
Bush the Elder courted the religious right, and then ignored them when in office. Unlike Bush the Younger ...
In any case, for cynical political opportunism, you can't beat good old LBJ. Read Caro's bio.
