Bush, Kerry Eye Jewish Vote

[Herschel]

Now that it's down to John Kerry versus George W. Bush, American Jews -- prominent in swing states in what could be a close election -- can expect plenty of attention.

Forman said his party would emphasize what all pro-Israel activists agree is Kerry's exemplary voting record in 19 years in the Senate.

"It's good to be a Jewish Democrat today," Forman said Wednesday.

Forman suggested that the Democrats' strategy would be first to say that Bush and Kerry were equals on Israel, "and then we pivot to all the major domestic issues."

Indeed. Kerry must be as strong on Israel as Bush. Then he can drsw advantage with Jews from domestic issues.

9. It has never happened?

That story about the IDF killing a 15 year old boy for waving to UN workers was a fabrication?

Of course, it isn't state-sponsored, unlike Palestinian terrorism.

"In the wake of U.S. Senator John Kerry’s capture of the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, the Zionist Organization of America has published a warning regarding Kerry’s possible appointees for the influential position of U.S. envoy to Arab-Israeli negotiations. The ZOA analyzed those mentioned by Kerry and warned that every one of them have “records of pro-Arab bias.”

The New York Times reported on March 1, 2004, that U.S. Senator John Kerry has mentioned former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and former Mideast envoy Dennis Ross as possible choices for the post. Previously Senator Kerry also named former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker as additional candidates."

10. Shhhhhhhh

Don't insert logic into a thread about members of the white Christian majority wooing minorities. Didn't you get the memo? All minorities think alike and are single-issue voters.
