You might get a kick out of this, go spy out McCain's website, and visit the "Get Involved!" section. You register on-line, and then when you visit you are asked how you'd like to help out, bla bla. One of the things is if you are part of a particular interest group, such as Hispanics, women, students, so on. One of the categories is, get this, "Muslims for McCain".

Now, mind you, I'm glad McCain is trying to reach out to Muslims, but I really doubt Muslims are trying to reach back. Well, maybe not empty-handed, at least...

Well, Bambi is an Arab, not a black

I really can’t see any Arabs voting for McCain. McCain was FOR the Surge.

Dr. James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute noted that "The Arab American vote can be important in several battleground states and a number of critical House and Senate Contests." Noting that Arab Americans in Michigan represent about 5% of that state's electorate, while in Virginia and Ohio they comprise almost 2% of the vote, he noted that "the strong shift from Republican to Democratic party identification can play a role in close contests." In 2000, the overall Arab American vote was 44% Bush, 38% Gore, 13% Nader. In 2004, it was 63% Kerry, 28% Bush with 8% for Nader. About the Arab American Institute Founded in 1985, the Arab American Institute (AAI) is a nonprofit organization committed to the civic and political empowerment of Americans of Arab descent. AAI provides policy, research and public affairs services to support a broad range of community activities.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama gets the Arab-American vote? I had no idea!

[reaganixonbush]

in 2004, there actually was a 10, 000 strong organization called MUSLIMS FOR BUSH whose leader appeared live on Dennis Miller’s show. It’s not that far-fetched, but the moderate Muslims are the key. Heck, I work with Muslims who love going to strip clubs and eat bacon cheesburgers from McD’s.
