    Jewish people won't fall for McCain Palin

    Jewish people are not as stupid as McCain/Palin assume we are.

    We fully understand when someone who has done nothing for Jewish people or Israel, says things in favor of Israel or placating us, that they are using us and our cause to further their own agenda. Palin's minister thinks he can save us Jews because we need forgivness for killing Jesus.

    Palin has never done anything to help any Jewish group prior to her joining the ticket. Now, we are to believe she really cares about us, no way. McCain will turn this country into his own private war and he will run a secret government just like Bush/Cheney has done, and from there, we will become a police state or communist type country.

    At least if we put Obama in the white house, he will be watched and checked and made to have an open government much more so than McCain. Obama will also have a great guy like Biden to advise, guide, and help him change this great country because Joe Biden has truly been a friend to Jewish people and Israel, unlike McCain and Palin who have given lip service in their hour of need.
