Democrats have alwatys been at the forefront of civil rights, and as Jews, it has always been incumbent upon us to support rights for minorities and weaker elements of society.

I believe in picking yourself up and making something of your life.<BR/><BR/>Democracts coddle and treat everyone (especially minorities) like little kids....<BR/><BR/>it's extremely condescending and ultimately destructive to the family unit and society as a whole!<BR/><BR/>Also, I refuse to vote for anyone that promotes values that I disagree with.<BR/><BR/>Republicans aren't perfect, but they are a hell of alot better than Democracts.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I also believe that real, sincere Evangelical Christians are the most moral and ethical people I have ever met (a lesson to be learnt by our corrupt 'frum' society, where getting more money for your yeshiva overrides everything else)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-86591775055387227732008-09-01T17:39:00.000+03:002008-09-01T17:39:00.000+03:00I'm a Jew ... but definitely NOT of the self-hatin...I'm a Jew ... but definitely NOT of the self-hating variety and definitely am a Jew above all other things ... and I intend to vote for Obama. Why? McCain is another old white guy who will continue to drag us down while he dances around his many houses with his oil-barron brothers. That's not representative of any U.S. citizen I know.

It is only a recent phenomena that some Jews (generally religious ones) vote Republican.<BR/><BR/>I consider them all the same on the issues like Israel. Bush was portrayed as Israel's greatest friend, but I saw nothing better from him or his administration than I saw from any other previous president. They all hate us, and only help us when it is convenient for them. It is just a difference of how they paint the picture. So I pretty much consider Israel a non-issue in US elections.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-78150567995473252352008-09-01T00:51:00.000+03:002008-09-01T00:51:00.000+03:00I can't believe you are a democrat. am in a bit o...I can't believe you are a democrat. am in a bit of shock...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-13482068046642212012008-08-31T19:04:00.000+03:002008-08-31T19:04:00.000+03:00chaviva - I agree. one year in the governers mansi...chaviva - I agree. one year in the governers mansion after being mayor of a small town doe snot make you ready for the VP slot.

In fact, just a month ago she was mocking the VP spot saying that she had no idea what a VP even did. Add to that a couple of unsavory incidences in her short career (like supposedly having her sister's ex-husband fired from the state patrol), and I don't see anything positive about Palin. Sure, she's a woman, and either way history will be made, but she's so unprepared and she doesn't make up for McCain being McCain. <BR/><BR/>:)Chaviva Gordon-Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332712096317076482noreply@blogger.com
