Jewish supporters aim at key states

...........A dozen or more Jewish civic and political officials -- led by Steve Grossman, former chairman of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and Alan Solomont, Kerry's New England finance chairman -- will campaign in Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, where Jewish voters could well tip the balance and decide the presidential election.

A key player in the effort is Kerry's brother Cameron, who attended the group's initial meeting a month ago in Solomont's offices to help plot strategy. The candidate's brother, who converted to Judaism more than two decades ago, returned two weeks ago from a visit to Israel and quickly hurried to Florida, where he spoke to Jewish activists............

Kerry's Sister Angers Abortion Foes***A Catholic antiabortion group sharply questioned the propriety of John F. Kerry's sister, Peggy Kerry, giving a speech to "a campaign crowd of feminists" in Boston and telling them that, if elected, her brother would overturn various Bush policies -- such as barring funds for U.N. population control efforts.

Not surprising that she'd be campaigning for her brother, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute noted, but she "works for George W. Bush" as part of the U.S. mission to the United Nations. ..........

I hope it comforts this guy to know that he is on the same side in this election as the Islamic Swine are.

If Kerry wins, Israel and America will BOTH be attacked mercilessly
as Kerry's Wilson, Kerry's Zogby, Kerry's Arafat and Kerry all KNOW.

PROOF:
1. Kerry mentioned Israel in his Acceptance speech zero (0) times.

2. Kerry chief supporters back Arafat.
Kerry's Pollster John Zogby, who shared the dais at Harvard this month with Kerry's Wilson,
along with Senator Richard Durbin and Congressman John Conyers,
said that
"on the war in Iraq . . . and the policy for Israel and
Palestine, there is no difference" between the two parties."

"Kerry's brother Cameron... who converted to Judaism more than two decades ago"

I didn't know about this. The campaign just gets weireder and weirder. If JFK the Second can just get a sibling to announce that he's actually part black, and another to come out as a lesbian, he should have the base pretty well locked up.

Well, I am one Jew that will be voting for Bush even if I have to crawl to the polling center. Bush II got twice the Jewish vote as his father and the GOP got 30% of the Jewish vote in the '02 midterms. That scared Dems terribly. The fact they have to now campaign for the Jewish vote...in Miami! tells you everything about the real trend of Jewish voting.

I appreciate the fact that Bush II has been the most sympathetic president towards Israel since modern Israel came into existence (even if he did appoint Zinni in the early days..but I think he learned his lesson there). A lot of my Jewish friends to do. My only regret is that I don't live in a swing state.

I wish someone would ask Kerry what he thinks about the security wall, and if he was president if he would cede to UN demands to pressure Israel to tear it down. You'd think a former president of AIPAC would be interested in that too. Bush has said flatly the wall should remain. What does Kerry think? Then again I guess that would depend on which day you asked Kerry. Hah!

The republicans can bend over backward to please the black and Jewish voters, and will always be disappointed. It is almost genetically encoded for these two groups to reflectively vote demon-rat!

[philosofy123]

The same way it is "almost genetically encoded" for you to be a Jew bashing moron on any thread about Jews.

You have a very thin skin, moron! Black, and Jewish people can have their issues better addressed in the Republican party, but they usually fail to understand that. If you have an argument regarding the majority of Black & Jewish voters voting Democrat, then you are ignorant of FACTS!

[philosofy123]

You definitely have a thin skin! Throw labels all you want at me. The FACTS are: black people, and Jewish people vote democrat en mass. To call this observation “racist” or “anti-Semitic” is to show ignorance of facts. You and I are on the same side of the issues, and there is no reason for you to impugn my intension of a free discussion. If you want to restrict freedom of expression and thoughts, you may try to move to the USSR, which does not even exist. Get on with the program, and stop being a cry baby.
