So DS, ARE YOU SAYING THAT Jews are stupid, but they DON'T vote republican?

I'm too stupid to understand your question, Ron. Could you try translating it into Hebrew?

Seriously, Jews tend to vote Democratic reliably (although W tried to make inroads into the Jewish vote with some success), and we tend to be pretty well educated.

אז DS, האם אתה אומר שהיהודים הם טיפשים, אבל הם עושים הרפובליקני ההצבעה לא?

Here you go,

PS: And if it is wrong please take issue with the TranStar English to Hebrew not me

(Oh Lord please don't let me get moderated with Ron)

"the Democratic party. . . with its traditional hospitality to non-WASP ethnic groups. . . . A distinguished economist who strongly disagreed with Mondale's economic policies voted for him nonetheless. 'I watched the conventions on television, ' he explained, 'and the Republicans did not look like my kind of people."That same reaction led many Jews to vote for Carter in 1980 despite their dislike of him; 'I'd rather live in a country governed by the faces I saw at the Democratic convention than by those I saw at the Republican convention' a well-known author told me" (pp. 347-348).

He isn't recalled just yet. Now the folks who filed the recall petition have to find a democrat to run against Kapanke in an election which will probably be in June. Good luck with that..

Once the recall election is scheduled I'm sure there will be candidates to replace him. Rumor has it some of the Republicans might even face moderate Republican challengers as well as one or more Democrats.

Rich and Ken thank you for the info:) Im sure I am going to enjoy this too,
I like the daily show inclusion, nice touch

I also notice the judge put the bill on hold for two months
Will they try to defy it do you think? or has it gone too far for them to do anything but comply?

They're going to comply with the Judge now.

They tried the end around and got called on it in court.

Perhaps. Their hubris is unbounded.

Meanwhile, Scott Walker sez David Duke's positions are "not extreme, they certainly are not." (Oh, look! A link! Sorry Aneirin. Take your BP meds)
