But there’s certainly a “there” there.

Whether it’s PC to observe it, or not.

Most Jews are part of the Democrat base, just like most blacks and most gays. They remain there whether the party actually has their best interests at heart or not. Blacks continue to "stay on the plantation" in spite of failed policies, and most Jews do, too. That's the "there" there. I don't expect that to change, based on my recent comunications with assorted liberal Jewish friends and relatives.

Interesting. I'm curious, how do Jews best interests differ from the interests of other liberal Americans? Black or white, straight or gay? Don't come back to me with Israel BS, that segment of the electorate that opposed the Iraq war, paulistinians aside, in favor of netotiations obviously would take the same position on Israel.

As a Republican, how the h*ll does the GOP have my interests as a JEW at heart, vis a vis the Dems. I can think of a dozen differences beteween the parties which I'd be happy to argue, but to advocate for the GOP because I'm a Jew, I don't know how to do that, at least to anyone with some level of political knowledge extending back a few decades.
