The Fight for the Jewish Vote

Since Obama failed to answer Tom B.'s question in the last debate: As president, if Israel is attacked, would you defense Israel or go to the U.N.

Obama's answer was off subject; he never answered the question

McCann said, yes, as president he would militarily defend Israel and not go to the U.N. since the Russians and Chinese had veto power.

How does that make you feel about Obama being our nation's commander in chief, American Jewish Voters?

Sarah Palin is either truly deperate or truly despicable. Not only do they decide to associate Obama with Ayers, with whom Obama has had limited contact, but Palin has also decided to attack Obama's middle name. In addition to attacking Obama, Palin demonizes anyone with a "funny" name, like Hussein and anyone who happens to be a Muslim. Understandably, as a native of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin does not know much about the rest of the world.
Therefore, she does not understand that Hussein is one of the most common names in world. In fact, Hussein was the surname of one of my students, a wonderful, diligent, graceful young lady. Her father, Mr. Hussein, was a concerned, loving, supportive parent who often checked in with me to find out his daughter was doing in my class. As a public employee, I did not investigate Mr. Hussein's religious beliefs. However, if I were apply the precepts of the Book of James in the Bible, which measures faith by works or deeds, I have to say Mr. Hussein's religious beliefs (or lack thereof) were far more worthy of God that the nonsensical claptrap which produced an ignorant bigot like Sarah Palin.
Beyond maligning people's names, Palin and McCain are attacking the loyalty and patriotism of millions of American Muslims, some of whom are serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Once it becomes acceptable to defame Muslims, it becomes acceptable to defame Jews, gays, African Americans, Latinos... The anti-Islamic fervor of McCain and Palin's campaign reminds me of the anti-Semitism of Central Europe in the 1930's. And increasingly, a McCain rally resemble the cross-burning rallies of Ku Klux Klan, and probably Palin in particular attracts her share of Klansmen.
McCain and Palin are not merely anti-American. They are assaulting the very principles and ideals that this country represents. They are a disgrace to America. Every member of the Republican party, as well as their apologists in the media, should hang their heads in shame.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to vote for McCain who in his own word said that "he doesn't understand the economy" and would continue the same old failed Bush policy.
