When he took office in the year 2001, President Bush began to make every effort to convince Jews that he was on their side. He did everything he could possibly do, to get Jews to vote Republican. Bush is the most pro-Israel President in American history. Indeed, 2004 was anticipated as the year when Jewish voters would vote majority Republican, for the first time since World War Two. But, once again, Jewish voters rejected the outstretched hand of a Republican Presidential candidate.
Kerry is the man who once called Yasser Arafat a statesman. And in 2004, Kerry worked in close partnership with the anti-Jewish black leader, Al Sharpton. The Democrats allied themselves with Islamic and Arab groups in 2004, in opposition to Bush's Middle East policies. In spite of all that, the overwhelming majority of Jews still voted for Kerry and the Democrats. Why is this so?
Liberal guilt.
Why did NY Jewish voters oust Sen. Damato who did more for the Jewish people of NY than anyone, in favor of Chuckie Schumer?
Very simple - most Jews, politically, are fools and dupes in the worst sense of the word.
I voted Bush and I am a jewish voter. I can't imagine why any jew would vote Kerry unless he or she were against the right of Israel to exist and defend itself. If you are pro-Israel, you should consider Bush to be your best friend.
Both saddening, maddening, and so predictable.
Much like that person you know that you dare not ask "how are you doing?" ... for fear they will tell you and tell you and ... ;)
Too many years of worshipping at the feet of FDR, who saved them from the Germans. The Jews as a group have never realized that FDR didn't give a fat rats' behind about them. So they vote 'Rat today out of loyalty to FDR.
Sadly, you are correct.
In the voice of Tevye from 'Fiddler on the Roof'...
Tradition!
>>Why did NY Jewish voters oust Sen. Damato who did more for the Jewish people of NY than anyone, in favor of Chuckie Schumer?<<
It was a shocking lack of gratitude for a Senator who put his reputation on the line, going after Swiss banks in the war-era assets controversy.
Where is the data that supports your theory?
And what is the excuse for tens of millions of non-Jews who voted for the party of appeasement after the WTC was knocked down and the pentagon was attacked?
The same FDR who turned away a shipload of Holocaust refugees and sent them back to Europe.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking as I wrote my post. I am glad someone else recalls that.
Exactly. I am just awake, and having trouble putting my thoughts together this morning. I should have posted examples of FDR's true record re: Jews and the Holocaust, but I'm in brain-lock.

FDR went to war against Germany because Germany declared war on the United States. Remember that FDR refused to bomb railroads that were transporting holocaust victims to the camps.
Why? Because sadly they fear Christian conservatives more than they fear militant Arabs.

Damato is Catholic.
Schumer is Jewish.
Says it all.
Elitism, would not want to be associated with southern bible-thumping evangelists.
Very simple.
I can't argue that.
