Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: U.S. Jews, Arabs in vote flip-flop?
The article alleges the Jews are abandoning the Democratic Party and Muslims are abandoning the GOP...

2. I can't see how Dub licking Sharon's boots...
Will trigger some sort mass defection of Jewish-Americans to him and Repubs in general.

Especially for those who just retired and are watching themselves be screwed out of any substantial pension...

AND...those who have kids about to graduate from college without a full-time job prospect...

AND...those who have a spouse, child, or other relative or friend serving at Iraq and getting shot at over a lie...

AND...so forth...AND so on!:mad:

Especially given the fact that he's running against a guy whose grandparents on one side were Jewish!:D

B-)

3. isn't this kind of "Jewish mind" stuff anti-semitic?
the underlying assumption seems to be that Jewish Americans are single-issue voters who put Israel's interests first.

and even granting that, what's to prefer about Bush? Kerry seems to be just as slavishly pro-Israel as Bush.

4. I think many Jews are confused by Nazi/Bushevik "support" of Israel
Of course, many fail to realize (and who's going to tell them...Corporate TV Pravda?) that the AmeriTaliban Busheviks only "support" Israel because Israel HAS to exist for their twisted version of Armageddon to happen. This, not coincidentally, will lead to the fiery deaths (followed by endless torment in Bushevik-Taliban Hell) for the Jews they "support".

Not sure if this is true, but if a majority of Jews wind up "voting" for Bush, then I am certain that we Jews didn't suffer enough under Hitler and I won't lift a finger to help My People when Crunch Time comes.

Let us RE-LEARN the Nazi/Bushevik Monster Lesson. Maybe that will finally teach we Jews NOT TO SUPPORT TOTALITARIAN SCUM & MONSTERS!
