kerry in his phantom zone
Most rich people in general are for Kerry. The liberal media has have used the "Great Lie" method to prove that republicans are still the party of the rich(hasnt been true in almost 50 years).
The Republicans today are conservatives. They are Farmers, Truckers, Blue Collar workers, Small-Business owners, Religous people, etc...
The Democrats of today are leftists. They are Hollywood elites, Corporate Elites, Media Elites, Academic Elites, Old people, and (unfortunately, still)minorities.
Just telling the truth that everybody knows and nobody will say.
To-raisyore Taxes Kerry
Kerry did not mention Israel in his speech. Were their slams against "neo-cons"? I don't remember if Kerry was among the many disparagers of "neo-cons" which of course is code for Jew.
It's a big tent. I'm sure that the anti-semites are not the most obsequeous of Kerry's supporters.
"Most rich people in general are for Kerry."
You can document this? What is YOUR definition of Rich? (since you are making the claim)

There was an exit poll taken by cnn in 2000 showing that upper-income(above $100,000 a year i beleive) voters favored Gore by a fairly significant margin. That margin has surely widened... as Bush has populist appeal, and Kerry is a New England snob who has especially strong support among wealthy leftists. Also... just use your common sense. All of the lowest-income states voted for Bush, all of the highest-income states voted for Gore. The liberal media can not cover this up forever.
A comment I read from Kerry was" My policy on Israel is the same as Bush's". BEtcha he does not know what Bush's policy is.
This is because, as Reverand Al says, "they be riding the don-key for all they can get..." Amazing that blacks don't pay any attention to what the real record of Democrats has been -- how their liberal policies have left generations of blacks "in the back of the bus."
It also amazes me that Dems just assume they have the Jewish vote when there are so many anti-Semites in that party. I suppose it goes back to the Republicans having the solid support of the Christian Coalition -- although I doubt Israel has a better friend than among conservative Christians.
If these dependable Democrat voting blocks ever wake up and reconsider the record, the Democrats will be ready for the dustbin of history.

What does bttt mean?
I don't know how you came up with your list. Cetainly, older people are the most conservative of all groups and the least likely to vote for a Democrat for President.
And then there is this:
According to them President Bush unfairly singled out Arab-Americans after the 9-11 atrocity. This is an outrageous lie. The president went out of his way to reassure this community that there would be no singling out of Muslims or those of Arab descent.There was and still is a certain amount of profiling. The terrorism watch lists, the arrests of terror suspects--this all hit Arabs disproportionately. There is no way we can conduct an effective WoT without stepping on Arab toes. So when Arabs squeal about their toes being stepped on, don't tell them it's "an outrageous lie," tell 'em it's the way things ought to be!
The real truth--US Jewry (at least the liberal majority) to Israel--"Drop Dead." This is a bitter pill to swallow--because I don't see how much support the US can give to Israel with Kerry as prez. I read so often that the GOP has hopes of getting more Jewish votes because our side has been so unrelentingly pro-Israel..but what if the awful truth is that most US Jews want Israel just to dry up and disappear? Sure looks like it from where I sit. That just gives them more reason to vote for Kerry-- And without US support, Israel may not die, but she'll really hurt.
And maybe some people sick of the neos have some good reasons to be. Google up "Balkans neoconservative" and see how healthy you feel after you read what some neocons (who include McVain in their numbers) have wrought.
bttt = bump to the top (pushes the thread to the top of the page so it will get seen by more people)
I beg to differ. I am a member of the richest family in America and anti-Semitism is not tolerated in our circle.

This is exactly what I'm talking about! The media gives that impression but it is absolutely not true. Look at ANY poll this election season that has an age breakdown. 65+ is THE MOST democrat/kerry voting age group, with the possible exception of 18-29's.
"I beg to differ."
I'm not sure what you are begging to differ with, since I never accused rich people of being anti-semitic. I was just referring to the writers comment that Democrats call Republicans the party of the rich when in fact it is the Dems who are that party.
Interesting to hear about your family... without getting too personal(unless you wish to), what is your families fortune from?
I am an adopted son. I was grafted on to the family tree of King David.
Israeli royalty eh?
