Ideology is very, very powerful.
Some people would give up their lives in order to avoid giving up their beliefs -- be they religious or political
or cultural. Just look at Iraq.
Rather than watch paint dry, I would rather go out and maximize GOP support among evangelicals and the white working class. It is these two groups that are the real growth sectors for the Republican party -- along with
those Hispanics who wish to assimilate, or have.
I stopped being a Democrat a long time ago. I wish more American Jews realized loyalty to principle is more important than loyalty to a party.
Mu Jewish relatives are a lost cause, it's amazing to hear them talk about Bush.
And my christian brethren aren't helping matters by saying things like this to those of the jewish faith. Same with catholics.
It's not our job to decide who gets into heaven or not.
Jews today are their own worst enemy.
I've never understood the Jewish community's support of the Democratic Party. Between such "stalwarts" as Bobby "Sheets" Byrd, to Hillary "FJB" Clinton, and everything in between, it makes no sense.
It does however, give an indication as to why it was so easy for the Nazi's to get them willingly loaded into cattle cars for the trip to the concentration camps....
I would also point out that some blue blood republicans are anti israel. I can understand there is the same sentiment on both sides not just democrats. But I see the republicans as more favorable, but the orthodox like me are most certain to vote for bush. Its social issues like gay marriage and abortion is why the liberal jews will never vote republican. Israel is secondary. Most liberal jews dont belive in the torah, and since the torah promises Israel to the jews why is it important. I mean you have to belive in the torah that g-d gave us Israel, and if you don't believe in g-d then forget israel. Abortion and welfare trump Israel anyday with them and telling them bush supports israel is just wasting your time.

For example, abortion is a no-no, same sex attraction or "marriage" is an "abomination" and it goes on and on. If you notice those that support this are typically Jewish. Look at the names on the A.C.L.U. roster of defenders. Look closely at the lawyers and their names.
