F*****g Jew bastards...

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

When Congress recently passed a resolution in support of Israel and our "common struggle against terrorism," the only two dissenting votes in the Senate were Democrats — Senators Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina.

What a coincidence. Byrd is a confessed former member of the KKK. As for Hollings, he isn't talking

Tell me about these great demographic shifts (Jews, Blacks, Hispanics suddenly discovering that they are really Republicans, deep down) AFTER the next Presidential election.

Right now, I remain skeptical. I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood on the (far) Upper West Side of Manhattan, and there wasn't a Republican to be found within view of the George Washington Bridge. (Unless there were a few in Jersey- we never went over there).

Palm Beach, Lazar Kaganovich, diamonds, Trotsky, Mussolini's newspaper, the Ukraine, Lenin's grandfather, blah blah BLAH.

How'd I do?

My wife is jewish and was a democrat voter, because basically she was totally indept and illinformed regarding politics but is now a strong conservative voter.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

There were, however, lots of Communists. I think "THE DAILY WORKER" may have been the most commonly sighted newspaper North of 72nd Street.

Ah, ye of little faith. Bush got a decent number of Jewish votes of the under 30 set. I predict he will do much better with Jews next time around.

[tet68]

Not bad, the palm beach wolf of the Kremlin, who'd a thought.

[driftless]

I hope the trend is true, but I have my doubts. You still have numbskulls like Sandra Bernhardt who utter asinine statements at regular intervals. You read her exceptionally stupid words and wonder how one can be so ignorant. Does she reflect the head-in-the-sand attitude of most Jews or not? I don't know, but I know Jews have been very prominent in the liberal movement for decades, and long-time habits are hard to break. I don't see a major shift, but any defections from the ranks of the know-nothings would be welcomed.

You left out the Doctor's Plot, the Rosenbergs, the Rothschilds and, of course, the Protocols. Other than that, you were doing fine. :)

You must have lived near some Methodists.

[College Repub]

Decent is an understatement. It was slighlty above 60% if I recall. That's a higher rate than that of the general population. As a student who knows a lot of Jews on campus, I'd say 90% of the Jewish men I know are Republicans. It's closer to 20 or 30% on the women though. Larger gender gap within the Jewish population.

"And when the "once a Democrat, always a Democrat" argument proves unconvincing, Jewish Democrats try to play their ultimate "trump card" by raising the specter of the most dreaded force available to them: the religious right." (Forward)

(Much) less persuasive to the average Jew - the middle-class or upper-middle-class Jew - than fear of their own or their kid's college or career prospects gone down the drain due to the reverse discrimination seen as divinely ordained by liberals!!

Ahem! (#5)

An accurate quote, but . . . uh . . . the picture . . .

Couldn't you have found a more revolting pic of hildabeast????

[lizma]

I hang out will alot of Jewish soccer moms.

1)They're pretty conservative in their views. (Most don't know it. They pay NO real attention to politics but can recite propaganda phrases.)

2)They are really not happy with the demorats view of Isreal.

It will be interesting to see where the chips fall.
