Exactly! But to libtards it makes sense to count everyone according to race because the fastest way to break down the race barrier - makes sense if you're a libtard - otherwise it's a JOKE!
==================

Is a "libtard" like a "retardican"?

Any outsider looking at the house and senate in Washington and the state assemblies would think that this country is at least 25% Jewish. Yet the actual figure is less than 5 percent and maybe as low as 2 percent. Why is this ethnic minority so overwhelmingly over represented in positions of power in this country?

Because Jewish politicians tend to favor Israel over the best interests of our nation. You can start with the Iraq invasion.

So what? Having one or two token Jewish Congressmen has never influenced Republicans in Congress to represent much more than our wealthiest 2% of citizens. What is truly amazing is that we have ever had any BLACK Republican Congressmen.

Ira Forman, CEO of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said the sharp drop in the number of Jewish Republicans in Congress paralleled the party's shift to the right. "It's a reflection of where the Republican Party has gone," he said. "It's left the Jewish community pretty cold."
=================================================

Jewish support for a 2008 candidate whose middle name was Hussein and whose father had been born a Muslim, was very impressive.

Polls showed that Obama was far more popular in the Jewish community, than Joe Lieberman was.

Obama got 78% of the Jewish vote, despite all the fearmongering propaganda about him.

You are so right and still, to this day, they continue the same fear mongering despite how badly it has failed. Either they are the most desperate people on the planet or dumb as a bag of hammers... hard to say which. LOL

Why does Jewish, black, white, Muslim, make a difference? We label everyone and then the racial divides increase. Why can't they just be a Senator and not a black Senator or Jewish Senator?

I could agree with that but then you'd CERTAINLY have to completely terminate the Confederate Party wouldn't you? After all for 3 decades they have used divisions along Religious Lines to win election after election.

You losers have listened to the Talking heads in the Fringe Right so long and have gone so long without actually thinking for yourself, I guess you just post this insanity! MAYBE, if you start NOW, you can get some education and IF you stay away from the merchants of hate long enough who knows, MAYBE you will have an Original thought! Who knows it COULD happen! ROFLMAO

Hey Skyk-2009

AIPAC is still attempting to see that the US serves Israel's interests rather than our own, that's for sure.

But AIPAC hasn't the clout it did during dubya's terms, that much is obvious.

There is enough of this mess with AIPAC and PNAC full of Neocons and duel passport holding people in politics!

America is tired of fighting wars for the special interest of the Middle East!

It is time all the duel passport holding hyphenated Americans are out of decision making in American politics!

They never ever do what is in American National interest!

Absolutely! NO elected or appointed official or employee in federal OR state government should be allowed to hold DUO CITIZENSHIP STATUS!

This just begs the obvious question: Where does your loyalty reside? What happens if a dispute occurs between the nations of your citizenships? At best, you have divided loyalties! WHO do you support, then?! I don't think you can be "equally" loyal to both!

I believe this has been worked into the system by the politicians, for the politicians, in the event they get caught breaking a law and want to flee the country! Then, they already have a country standing by to flee to! Which, is the best reason to eradicate this law!

The Repub rebuild will never happen as long as it pushes itself closer and closer to the point that it becomes the White Male Cracker Party.

Alienate Women
Alienate Independents
Alienate Minorities
Alienate Gays
Alienate Moderates

Hardly a recipe for success.....

Well, it's definitely symptomatic of the contracting demographics that the GOP REALLY represents now! I wouldn't expect that to change very much in the near future, either! IF it does, it's going to take a lot of help from the Democrats who'll have to REALLY botch things up!

As a whole, though, the direct representation of Jews in Congress is a mute point; as the State of Israel probably "owns" half of Congress anyway!

I don't like the fact that an politician's religion even comes in to play when running the business of governing America. We need a secular government, free of religious persuasion.

With that said, I will help defend anyone's right to practice the religion of their choice. Heck, Catholic's have shot Protestants, Protestants have blown up Catholic's (The Troubles) and I won't even get into Muslims (Jews, Palestinians, etc)) vs. the rest of the world.

Let's try to run our government as a (break even) business and demand that elected officials campaign their religious causes on their own time.

like most demographics, jews overwhelmingly voted for barack obama and the democrats. republicans now stand mostly for bigots, the underpaid, and under-educated. those demographics are quite clear from all news organizations, like fox news.

I was going to say "what about Lieberman", I mean as far as GOP representation -- this Jewish scumbag is it (not saying all Jews are scumbags, just that this scumbag is Jewish). It also don't come more anti-Democrat than that. This guy turned on his own party in his own state after they passed on him in the primaries and got elected by Republicans voting against his opponent in the general election. Serious consideration by McCain for vice-president in the 2008 Presidential election which I believe he said he would also seriously consider or accept. And much, much more ... too much to include here!

How can you not consider it GOP representation.

Have you seen Lieberman's voting record this year?
