U.S. Muslims regret support for Bush, won’t repeat it in ’04

Yes, in fact I read on the Internet that Carl and Sander Levin were photographed in Jenin recruiting young Arab girls as suicide bombers.

Seems as though some here would continue to perpetuate the stereotype that conservatives/Republicans are bigoted, racist, Bible-thumping, holier-than-thou Christians.

Believe me, this isn't unique to conservatives or Republicans. There are plenty of hysterically frightened, bigoted folks on all sides. ;-)

Course I never believed Bush got the Muslim vote last time either. If he had, he would have won Michigan.

Bush did win Dearborn(a swing area, and the whites there tend to be union dems like the rest of Downriver) last time, and it was spread out among the precincts, so East Dearborn as well. In fact, it was the only 'Downriver' suburb he won outside of Grosse Ile(very affluent).

Although Dearborn is heavily Iraqi in particular, and Arabs are spread out around the Detroit area.

Only groups of blockheads vote as a bloc.

[RightWhale]

Aside from corporate endorsements, how did this group actually vote?

Maybe I bristle at the broad brush thing 'cause I'm a professional musician, and you know what people think of us. ; )

Yeah, I've been a member of a profession that hasn't yet won universal adoration. ;-)

"For most American Jews, social democracy is their true religion. If they didn't think of Israel as a kind os socialist oasis in the Middfle East, ythey wouldn't support it. When its government is not in the hands of the Labor Party, their interest flags. If a crisis appears, their interest spikes but soon drops back to normal levels."

Hate to admit it, but you are spot on.

Year after year, Democrat office holders and candidates make blatantly anti-Israel comments, and still most Jewish voters blindly support the Dems and slam the GOP.

(Think Jessie Jackson, Hillary Clinton, Al Sharpton, Mosely Braun, and recently Congressman Moran from West Virginia)

And now rabid Muslim groups are joining the Democrats and still, many Jews hate Republicans.

I guess old misconceptions die hard in the Jewish community.

I prdefer to the the Man Himself judge.

Sorry.

Sorry Mr. Spell checker. :) I'm on drugs right now so my typing skills are not good.

[null and void]

You don't see any drool, do you? ; )

No, but the stage could be tipped back...

[null and void]

Ah! YOU'RE the drummer...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

If Muslims become a significant population in America do you know what you'll have?

And what do you propose to do about that?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Okay. What if they are Americans? Sterilize them, put them in internment camps...what?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

No drummer would be smart enough to think of that.

[Scenic Sounds]

Ah! YOU'RE the drummer...

Shhhh! (Please, I'm undercover.) ;-)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Exactly.

Nuke 'em...especially the ones who were kissing photographs of President Bush and waving American flags. Those people are just no good. Irredeemable, really. Start with that guy who kicked off the rescue of Jessica Lynch.< /sarcasm >

Senator, report with said cousin forthwith to Riyadh singles club. Since she'll have to be covered from head to toe, and masked, I think we might possibly strike a deal.

As limited as the sweet young thing's possibilities may appear to be here, she'll be a definite genetic asset to the friendly regime. She ain't nobody's cousin over there, and that's a good thing.
