There are 11 Jewish Senators currently serving, 9 of which are Democrats. One of the Republicans is Sen. Specter, not a conservative politician. I do not know much about Norm Coleman.

Question: should Sen. Kerry be counted as a Jewish Senator too?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I thought that Arlen Spector was Scottish, or is that just his laws?

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

Good question. He may call himself a Scottish-Jewish-American. Quite possibly the only double-hiphenated Senator currently serving the People.

Kerry could be a Irish-Jewish-American? (another double-hyphen)

[gunnedah]

According to the Democrats Specter and Coleman should not be considered Jewish because they are not liberal enough.
Someone please inform them!

[gunnedah]

Kerry and the rest of the DOPEs(Democrat Obstructionist Party Empire) should be defined as"Any and everything You Want Me To Be".

[cynicom]

Yes he should. Further, these eleven are represenative of fewer than ten million, whereas, blacks have several times their number and no senators.

This is a fact, has nothing to do with race baiting or whatever. We have millions of Hispanics and cannot get just one elected to a high court. Very telling about politics.

[Just mythoughts]

I haven't checked are all these senators against the freeing the people of Iraq and ridding the world of a Stalinist want-a-be.

Personally, I don't care color, creed, code, religion, etc.... a person is, if they are "leftist" are wrong and their goal is to subvert the "constitution",

"RIGHTS" given to individuals by the CREATOR no government can take away.

From Diane Feinstein's bio: "Diane Feinstein has demonstrated that Jewish women can achieve politically in a male dominated sexist society if they work hard at it."

[Pharmboy]

Kerry has as much Irish blood in him as I do (and that is, unfortunately, zero--I am an Erin-o-phile). He is half Jewish and half old guard Boston Wasp--nary a Catholic in the woodpile.

[ProudGOP]

Group politics is for Democrats.

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

But this did break my heart: "Barbara Boxer experienced sex discrimination and sexual harassment as a woman. When in colleae, her professor gave her a very low mark on an exam and when she saw him in his office about the grade, he made sexual advances towards her. When she wanted to become a stockbroker on Wall Street, she discovered that they only hired men. When she ran for supervisor on the county board in California, she was attacked for not staying home to take care of the home and children which cost her the election."

[Just mythoughts]

So does "HILLARY" claim her success from EURO womanhood, maybe "FRENCH"?


It is what is in the mind that counts not ethnicity right?

[I_dmc]

Not sure what being Jewish means, but I liked Norm Coleman's appearances on tv.

[Pharmboy]

I wouldn't imagine, as a Freeper, you are arguing for affirmative action for elected office.

My take on this Estrada thingy is that it has nothing whatsoever to do with his ethnicity; the dummocraps just decided to take a hard stand and make pubbie lives miserable on this appointment so they could continue to control judgeships even though they lost control of all three branches of government. After all, they are entitled to it aren't they?

It would not have mattered one whit if this guy was a polka-dotted Jew who grew up in a black family. Think about Clarence Thomas. For these sleazebags partisanship trumps everything.

[Alas Babylon!]

Your post is rather amusing since it satires the current political idiodicy that only blacks can represent blacks, only Jews can represent Jews, etc, etc. Funny that this view of Balkanized politics comes from the so-called anti-racist when it is, in fact, the ultimate in racism.

[Chief]

I think I read sometime back that Hitlery has a drop of two of Jewish blood in her otherwise ice-filled veins.

Something about a Great Grandparent, however, it could also have been an ingested transfer from Don Shalala or Mad Maddy Not-very-bright.

[William Terrell]

If you published a list of the comgressvarmints most bitched about on FreeRepublic, it would be the same one with a few more added.
