8. This is John McCain's concession speech from 2000. The race is still on!

are you jewish (dont assume why im asking)

Yes and very proud of it. Can you please tell me why you want to know?

 

[actsnoblemartin]

I ask because, as a fellow jew I have always wondered why so many jews always vote democratic.

No slur, or insult intended.

by the way im martin. Nice to meet you

I've voted Republican all my life, actually. When you look at the total number of votes casted for George W Bush in 2000 and 2004, I can say that I am one of those votes. In 2000, I just plain didn't like Gore. In 2004, I was too afraid to vote for anyone else other than Bush in a time of war. I lambasted the anti-war protestors as anti-americans... how dare they protest a war. How dare they protest the liberation of over 10 million iraqis.

Well, 4 years later, with over a million iraqis dead, over 4500 us troops dead, and the world is less safe, our country is less safe and our economy is in shambles. I regret voting for Bush very much.

When the elections started this year, I was so excited for Rudy. I wanted him to win so badly. He would've had my vote in less than a milisecond. I was so prepared to vote Republican again. Then John McCain won. I liked McCain back in 2000. I know his story... he's servied this country with honor. I didn't know anything about Obama and frankly his ideas of sitting down and talking to our enemies without preconditions scared the hell out of me.

I began following Obama... I thought the guy was charasmatic, cool, and quite the smooth talker. I knew then and I know now that a candidate has one or two ideas that are his core ideas and then he takes on the ideas of his party. For McCain cutting wasteful government spending and national defense are his core beliefs. For Obama creating peace with our enemies and helping the disadvantaged are his core beliefs. I have to say I'm proud to have two candidates who love this country so much and want to lead it in a new direction and change the course we're on for a better future. I think both candidates' core beliefs are admirable and I was on the fence. I did not like Obama's pick for Joe Biden. The guy seems sneaky, slimy.. like a used car salesman. He doesn't appear to be an intellectual to me. So I was leaning to McCain and then he picked Sarah Palin. Well, that changed my vote.

I said:

If there are videos of her speaking at the Miss Alaska Pageant back 14 years ago.... forget it. This is just embarrassing. Apparently if she's the pick, the McCain campaign doesn't think it has a shot in hell and no politician wants to risk his or her political career over an embarrassing loss this November.

I thought this was a joke and I kept pinching myself to wake up.

I saw her on interviews with Gibson and Couric and I was shocked that McCain could pick someone who has absolutely no understanding of the issues facing mainstream America.

Then I began seeing, during the debates, a different John McCain than who I've been seeing for the longest time. I watched the evolution of the proud, independent John McCain that almost switched political parties, to an evil, old man who's willing to stoop to any level to win the presidency. He was willing to sacrafice anything just to win the White House. He didn't care about the very morals and ethics and beliefs that first attracted me to the Republican Party. Strong national defense, strong support for Israel... low taxes, small government.

But I began researching the trickle down theory and why it worked so well for Coolidge and Reagan and didn't work well for Bush. I started seeing that all of these core beliefs that the Republican Party had, they didn't follow. The rich got richer, but they didn't spend their money on the economy like they were supposed to. They didn't create jobs like they were supposed to. They just held onto their wealth.

The final straw for me was when McCain "suspended" his campaign. Now the Republicans are so power hungry, so fearful of losing their grip on everything, they will outright lie and try to scare us just to hold onto their vote.

My mother had to call me today and told me she received something in the mail that said Sarah Palin was half Jewish and that in her office she had the flag of the US, the flag of Alaska and the flag of Israel.

Then I see FoxNews with the banner of "DEATH TO ISRAEL" on the bottom line with "Joe the Plumber."

The Republicans remind me of Gargamel from the Smurfs. Always trying dirty tricks to get their way.

Obama has stated numerous times on the air and through his blogs that he is a supporter of Israel and that Israel will be America's most important relationship. I know some on here don't like that, but that's your choice.

As a Jew, I am willing to trust Obama to Israel. And I read the Israeli papers all the time and I know they're not thrilled with him. But, like the people of Louisiana did with Jindal, we have to give this new guy a shot. He's new, he's fresh, he doesn't have a lot of experience, but he's got a lot of great ideas and I'd like to see what he can do. If it doesn't work, we'll throw him out in 4 years. It happened with Bush, it happened with Carter and it can happen again.

It's time to give someone with radical ideas on how to fix our country the helm, because the safe, tried and tested ideas aren't working. If Obama does well, America will experience the most radical shift to the left we've had in decades. I think we're overdue for that and I think it's time we joined the rest of the world.

This also describes me to a T preety much

I feel the same way, except I wanted tom tancredo or duncan hunter

I respect both men, I simply didnt agree with ending the iraq war at the time I voted, im still very un-sure if we should stay or go, and while in principle I like the idea of socialized medicine, our government in my judgment has a poor record of delivery of healthcare

I said:

I preferred he picked rudy or romney, someone with more experience

Strong national defense, strong support for Israel... low taxes, small government.

I saw him get angry at the last debate, but i would need examples of the rest of what your saying, no disrespect intended david.

But I began researching the trickle down theory and why it worked so well for Coolidge and Reagan and didn't work well for Bush. I started seeing that all of these core beliefs that the Republican Party had, they didn't follow. The rich got richer, but they didn't spend their money on the economy like they were supposed to.

im an economic novice, so no comment. Can you explain this further to me?

The final straw for me was when McCain "suspended" his campaign. Now the Republicans are so power hungry, so fearful of losing their grip on everything, they will outright lie and try to scare us just to hold onto their vote.

I was very angry about the bailout, i voted for bob barr because of mccain supporting this socialist bailout

My mother had to call me today and told me she received something in the mail that said Sarah Palin was half Jewish and that in her office she had the flag of the US, the flag of Alaska and the flag of Israel.

I believe only the american flag should fly in our country

Then I see FoxNews with the banner of "DEATH TO ISRAEL" on the bottom line with "Joe the Plumber."


is that where a jewish guy said israel is gone if obama wins, and joe says yup?

The Republicans remind me of Gargamel from the Smurfs. Always trying dirty tricks to get their way.

I am un-happy with the republican party, which is why i wont join them, they wont be the party of no personal attacks, they are no better then the dems. No offense, I think both parties are corrupt.

Obama has stated numerous times on the air and through his blogs that he is a supporter of Israel and that Israel will be America's most important relationship. I know some on here don't like that, but that's your choice.

I was bothered by sitting down iran's president without precondition, and i dont know what he will do, i am not gonna say oh yeah, he'll do nothing. But his naivaty scares me

As a Jew, I am willing to trust Obama to Israel. And I read the Israeli papers all the time and I know they're not thrilled with him. But, like the people of Louisiana did with Jindal, we have to give this new guy a shot. He's new, he's fresh, he doesn't have a lot of experience, but he's got a lot of great ideas and I'd like to see what he can do. If it doesn't work, we'll throw him out in 4 years. It happened with Bush, it happened with Carter and it can happen again.

If he wins he is my president, I am fed up with the partisanship in this country and no one willing to work with anyone cause the wrong animal is next to their name (see donkey vs elephant)

It's time to give someone with radical ideas on how to fix our country the helm, because the safe, tried and tested ideas aren't working. If Obama does well, America will experience the most radical shift to the left we've had in decades. I think we're overdue for that and I think it's time we joined the rest of the world.

I think obama's skills in the speaking department help us on the diplomatic front.

Iam gonna rub this in your face if Obama loses. Though I have already shown your an idiot in two other threads.

I ask because, as a fellow jew I have always wondered why so many jews always vote democratic.

In modern times, I think the Jewish community as a whole is turned off by the Republican Party's associations with Christian evangelicals... or at least a lot of my family is.

Historically, civil rights and workers' rights were really important for the Jews who came to the U.S. in droves, while fleeing oppression in Germany, Russia, and all those other countries that passed antisemitic laws and/or tried to kill us around the time of the world wars. The Democrats were becoming the party of social equality at the time, they supported unions, and so that's where the Jewish people went.

actually, you are put off by the stereotype of what a christian is
not what they really are, i doubt you really know any Christians

I said I'm put off by EVANGELICAL christians, sweetheart... you know, the ones who preach about converting the world to their faith. For people who aren't of that faith that message/attitude is extremely offensive.

I have no problem with Christians, and insinuating that I do is completely ridiculous. I'm from a small, rural town in Texas, and I've gone to church with my Christian friends on numerous occassions and they've come with me to synagogue. Differences in religion really aren't that big of a deal. Quit trying to pick a fight over something no one was talking about.

all christians are evangelical, or they arent really christians
its part of the great commission

i'm sorry that you are so put off and offended by someone sharing their faith with you
but thats what Jesus told us to do

I know seriously! Who do these Jews think they are? Going around and sharing their viewpoints/beliefs with us. Umm, news flash, only people who believe in Jesus have that right.

 

[elvis]

me too

but they will be screaming "But..... but... bbbut... the POLLS SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"the rethuglicans STOLEN the election AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

he'll say the republicans stole it.

Don't forget that Black people only voted for him cause he's black

Don't forget that white people didn't vote for Obama cause he is black.

Technically you are correct.

But there is a branch of Chistendom who identify themselves as "evangelists" who are so far out there that the majority of mainline Christian churches eschew them.

i'm sorry that you are so put off and offended by someone sharing their faith with you
but thats what Jesus told us to do

Sharing one's faith is one thing.

Shoving it down other people's throats is quite another.

Ya cause you can't just close your door right?

 

[Silence]

I'm white and I voted for him. and in working on his campaign in Florida I can tell you that 90% of the volunteers are white as well.

I'd love for a Republican to tell me the path to a McCain victory at this point. How exactly does he win the white house? If the polls are to be believed I mean.

I heard about that proposition about banning domestic partnerships. Do you think it'll pass or go down?
