Some thoughts from a charter memeber of the tribe.
Can someone please tell me why McCain is a war hero? Some sympathy for being a POW camp for most of the VietNam war, ok, but so what? My close friend and attorney, (Jewish) has 7 Purple Hearts, schrapnel near his spine, cancer from Agent Orange and believes that McCain is a doddering old sexist miscreant.
Can someone please tell me why I should give Liberman the time of day? Another old chicken hawk. Just what we need: some quasi-republican sending more kids to their deaths in faraway places. Out to pasture with you Lieberman!
Help me out on this one too: Sarah Palin is the antithesis of everything we (Jews) consider to be holy. Think books, (You know the Torah) and her Alaska book banning. Think reasoned thought, like the ability to put a sentence together that came from your own mind, not cram study talking points from Roves' minions. And yes fundamental Christians frighten me, mostly because there is no thought, just mindless following. (P.S. Jewish fundamentalists, Muslim fundamentalists, ______ fundamentalists scare me too). Actually, just thinking and remembering that the essence of Jewishness is repairing the world and striving towards ethical behavior.
Obama's win in less than a month may not bring down the entire 200 year old WASP boys club, but it is a start, at the very least it will put the last two or three nails in the coffin that contains Reagonomics and that will be worth the trickle down price of admission. Because that will make the likes of Palin and McCain superflowous as our country moves forward.
