He was just a naive fool and we, as a nation, should have learned an important lesson. Apparently, as of today, we haven't because we're about to elect Jimmy Carter II with the same super majority that he had. AP: Thank you for answering a question I posed on another blog. Like Carol, I can't for the life of me figure it out. If I were a member of either group I'd feel "used and abused" by the "Democratic Party and would look elsewhere. At the very least I'd make them earn my vote and not walk lock step into the voting booths every election to vote them in office.

If you made those phone calls from my neighborhood, the ambulance carrying the guys in white suits would show up in short order. People would assume you’d gone off your rocker.

But good luck with it.

And Carol, I agree that it makes no sense the support blacks and Jews give to the Democratic Party. I read an article that this support, in part, is traced back to the 1920s, where the Republican Party was stricter on immigration and the Democrat Party was much looser. This translated into a lot of immigrants from that time period naturally affiliating with the Democrat Party. Also, the rise of unions had a lot of ties to the Democrat Party as well, providing them additional support. I see parallels in the future as well with a potential Obama administration and the effects on the future of the Democrat Party. Obama (and the Democrat Congress) will likely grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, which will be a boon to the Democrat Party. Likewise, with the new legislation for the Employee Free Choice Act, better known as Card Check, this will dramatically (and improperly) increase the power of unions - again to the benefit of the Democrat Party. The Republican Party may not recover for decades. As far as Jews are concerned, I think a lot of Jews think that Obama is "not that bad" - that he's not an antisemite and that he won't do harm to Israel. And, because a lot of Jews are social liberals, they convince (or better yet delude) themselves into believing that Obama is better since he will not hurt Israel and he will be better on social issues. I obviously disagree with that. I believe it is my duty, not only as a Jew but also as an American, to tell other Jews what an Obama presidency will include - to make sure that they know that an Obama presidency will be a lot worse than "not that bad." It's then up to them to decide what their priorities are. BTL, I frankly did not make the association until you mentioned it - but the parallels are frightening.

Their utter and complete contempt for both of these groups has been written time and again in brilliant neon lights like the strip in Las Vegas, but still people cling to them. I really don't see how any rational person could still think that the Democratic Party is on their side. The DP is on the side of power for the DP, and no one else at all. If I think of the Republican presidents in my lifetime, I don't see any who were in it for power for the sake of power: Eisenhower - good egg mostly, enforced desegregation, Nixon - definitely had his problems but I don't think he was the vampire most people make him out to be; I think he was in it to deal with Communism as it needed to be dealt with, Reagan - a vision of freedom for the world, not that he was able to implement it, but he made a damn good effort, Bush the Elder - not particularly effectual but no Machiavelli, Bush the Younger - again, a vision but no Machiavelli and how anyone could think that someone with his personality would be the embodiment of all evil is beyond me. On the other hand, we have Kennedy - largely inept, Johnson - in love with power but no one in love with him, Carter - just idiotic, no matter his IQ, Clinton - really in love with power for the sake of power, as only a narcissist could be, and now we might be looking at Obama. As demonstrated by the treatment of people who dare to make The One look bad, Obama really is a power-mad narcissist who makes Clinton, who was really only into the power as a route to more poontang, look like a piker. It's looking real scary out there people. I will be spending my afternoon making phone calls for McCain-Palin.
