At least one (and she claimed there were more) GOP delegate to the 1992 convention told me that she left the GOP right after Pat's speech. She said that Pat's speech basically showed that the GOP was anti-semetic and that overrode the economic value of supporting them. I also know many Jews with conservative values (on social and economic issues) who will never GOP because of their belief that Republicans are anti-semetic.>>>>

Well, there is a link to the speech and it is also posted in the response thread. Perhaps you can point out one item that hints of anti-semitic feelings.

On top of that the Jewish people are about 5% of the population and are generally clustered in heavily democratic states. So any loss of Jewish voters, who vote overwhelmingly for demos already, is no great loss to the GOP.

This is just another example of the propensity for some Jewish people to raise issues of anti-semitism where none exist. It has been so over used that it has lost most of its meaning. To borrow a line from Pat, the Jewish people are just upset with Pat because he does toe the line to the wishes of the Israeli Lobby and its Amen Corner.

With all due respect to that "GOP delegate," I think she was full of sh!t. She may have had good reason to believe that Buchanan was an anti-semite, but nothing in the text of his speech would have given any indication of that.

In fact, I would make the case that this woman's reaction to his speech was anti-semitic at its root. When someone gives a speech calling for a preservation of our culture against the secular, nihilistic forces of abortion on demand, homosexual marriage, etc., anyone who calls that speech "anti-semitic" obviously holds a very dim view of Jewish people.

About 2.2% of the population, though if you only count Jews who respond I'm Jewish the first time they're asked in a survey, it's about 1.3% There's no reason the Republican party needs to worry about that.

I take it from your comment you believe that Gulf War I was supported by no one other than American Jews and those nasty "Amen Corner" Christian dudes.

Regarding Gulf War 2, do you believe in the ZOG? Did they start it? Do Jews control the world, or just the US?
