Did the RJC Use a Fake Democrat in Its “Buyer’s Remorse” Ad?
As we reported last week the Republican Jewish Coalition has launched a new initiative to bring Jewish voters into the conservative fold. The campaign is called “Buyer’s Remorse,” and its first ad features a video of a New Jersey man named Michael Goldstein who claims to be a “lifelong Democrat” who held fundraisers and voted for Obama in 2008 but is now supporting Romney.
In the video, Goldstein thinks aloud about the economy and then about President Obama’s mention of 1967 borders as a basis for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (here’s a clip of George W. Bush also calling for the 1967 borders), and decides that it’s time for a new direction. The RJC is obviously hoping that other Jewish Democrats will feel the same way.
The problem is that Goldstein—while Jewish—doesn’t actually appear to be a Democrat. His New Jersey Voter Registration has him listed as “undeclared.” And also, Goldstein contributed $250 to Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign in 2007, hardly the work of any lifelong Democrat.
