Look, there are Jews that are mostly Jews and some Jews that are mostly leftists. The latter don't count in a positive way in this world or the next.
For the life of me I cannot understand the devotion of many blacks and Jews to the Dem Party. Blacks get patronized and kowtowed to every election cycle, then the day after the election they are forgotten for two more years. Jimmy Carter tried to sell out Israel, Bill Clinton was Yasir Arafat's best friend. What would it take? FDR is gone people and it's no longer the Dem PArty of his time!
She's delusional. If those guys are considered moderates to her? You'll drive yourself nuts.
Is it worth my time to even go through this or should I just write her off
Neither. Just don't talk politics. She sounds just like my parents and I'm not cutting them off or even arguing with them about it anymore. They are set in their thinking just like we are with ours.
Middle of the road Dem? She's spouting the far left talking points. I don't know if you can get through to her but maybe correct her a little at a time. She may completely turn you off if you try to do too much at once.
Forget it. It's not worth the trouble. You'll just break your heart and wear out your keyboard without persuading her of anything.

It's not even about persuading, it's about correcting the out and out lies. And not only lies, but really insulting lies.
You could answer her...or you could watch the season finale of "Lost". Even if you've never watched it before, it will make more sense than this woman's letter.
I did a quick read and I might have missed it, but did she even mention Iran?
ROFLMAO!!!
Of course not, or the majority of the world who wants to kill Jews like her. The part that always gets me is the part about Clinton...how great it was when he was President, and that's what's going to be the rallying cry and the part that scares me the most for people like her, who view the world through sound bites and catch phrases.
All she's doing is incrementally dissecting both parties to disassociate herself from any controversial stand.

Clinton was not impeached for a consentual sex affair. He was impeached for lying under oath, TWICE. Anyone else would have been, and some have been, sent to jail for lying under oath.
Here's my 2 cents, Hildy. Write her off. I'm not saying you need to "write her off" as a new friend, just "write her off" as someone you wish to debate world affairs with. I have an ultra-liberal sister who could drive me mad if I let her. I've tried using facts, but that is like pouring salt on the wounded liberal. Like the old saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make 'em drink". Unlike horses, stubborn asses can't even be lead to the dang water. ;)
