Jewish voters are NOT wary of Palin.
This has been debunked over and over again on FreeRepublic.com.
Liberals, in general ARE fearful of any conservative who is/appears to be popular.
Period.
I hate to disagree with you but of the 1-200 Jews I’ve known in my 50 years of which around 70% were leftists, I have been told over and over that they fear the Religious Right getting too much power.
That was told in 2000 to me by a lady who used to run Dade County NOW who is a pal of mine....almost ver batem. That is why she hated Bush...that and her Holy Grail ..abortion...something leftist Jews for some self destructive reason love.....if any group out there ought not be having abortions it’s them. I hear this also here in Nashville from prominant Jewish democrats my wife and I are social with.....though....some are wary of Barry.
I really hate saying this Cindy but freepers who think it’s all kumbaya with most Jews on Christian Conservatism are wishful thinking.
This is not to say they don’t maybe like the support of Israel but many of them think we wish Israel to be some sacrificial lamb to signal end times...they really don’t get it. That we support them as the original holders of God’s covenant and all that entails for them and us...course some of them view that as patronizing and condescending....and not always without reason admittedly.
Their derision of Christianity is ages old...way way beyond the GOP and even America. It’s providential....not a word I use lightly.
On the upside....I think the younger Jews whether religious or not tend to have at least dropped the Red Diaper baby mentality a bit and don’t think of Christian Right as Sturm Abteilung
