The really big mystery of Judaism is the question of why any Jew would ever vote for a democrat.

Because they've ALWAYS voted for democrats. I don't think that it's necessarily a "Jewish thing," since many Catholics and working class union members have always voted dem as well, even though their moral views were 180 degrees out of sync with the dems.

And then there are those who simply aren't willing to think for themselves... I've brought this up here before: I've got an aunt that I dearly love, but my head hurts when I talk to her about politics. She tells me that she "hates Bush." So, I ask her why. And she can't give me a single reason for hating him. She just does. I ask her about his policies, and she can't name a single one. Eventually she can come up with the Iraq war, but only in the vaguest terms, since she is a big supporter of Israel, and I guess she's conflicted in the thought that something Bush might be doing could be good for the world in general, and Israel in particular.

She loved Clinton, but was concerned that Arafat was his #1 guest at the White House. But shortly after mentioning that, she'll tell me that she'd vote for Bubba again if she could, and she's going to vote for Hillary.

I believe that my aunt is brain damaged.

If one of the parties started screaming for the Vatican to be dissolved ,I doubt they would get the Catholic vote.

I think Israel needs to look within for the answer to its problems with the Arabs.

Our society is becoming unstable. I don’t know how much longer they will be able to count on the United States for help.

It sounds like your aunt is an anti-Christian. That’s the MAIN reason people hate Bush....because he;’s a CHRISTIAN! sad.
