An evening with leading Romney advocates at a major Florida synagogue.
(Page 2 of 2)
Even the rabble-rousers, the troublemakers, the kibitzers and the naysayers were grudgingly impressed. One lifelong Democrat verbalized this startling utterance: “It was a very enjoyable evening.” By now he has probably thought better of it, but it remained a telling moment.
This reminds me of one joke in parting, a conversation between one woman and another at a Jewish wedding.
“So, are you a friend of the bride?”
“Certainly not! I’m the mother of the groom.”

In other words, Romney is a bigger success when he himself does not show up, and leaves all the talking to others.
Fine -- let us elect the handlers and send Mitt back to Massachusetts.

Who cares about what the zionists do. They are a big pain in the keester for the Republican Party, and the conservatives in general. They will vote for Obama and the Democrats in overwhelming numbers like usual, and give them huge money.One per cent of the Republican vote gets far more attention then the 80% pro-life majority of the party.

Vern Crisler| 1.30.12 @ 10:50AM
Jack, what makes you think liberal Jews are zionists?
richard ryan| 1.30.12 @ 12:17PM
Good point. They don't understand the Israeli military. They do not support the military here in this country (of course there are exceptions). I will never understand Jewish liberals.
RCV| 1.30.12 @ 1:24PM
When Jack says "Zionists", he just means "Jews". That's who he hates. It's who he is.
Alan Brooks| 1.30.12 @ 3:47PM
Well you hate Arabs and Shiites. Oh, wait, no, you just don't like their actions, that's all!
BTW, it is said the Jews (with help from Pontius Pilate) killed Christ; didn't Protestants (with help from Henry VIII) kill Sir Thomas Moore, the greatest man of his age?
Alan Brooks| 1.30.12 @ 3:49PM
...that wasn't aimed at you, RCV, it was targeted at the guys here who think they can dislike whomever and whoever they want to, but Jack cannot do the same.
Vern Crisler| 1.30.12 @ 1:02PM
Great comment Appleby.
Alan Brooks| 1.30.12 @ 6:31PM
Anyone at AS can make any generalization they want about Islam, but when Jack discusses neocons and Zionists, you portray him as Basil Fawlty goosestepping around the Inn.
Ten years after 9/11 I am tired of it-- esp. since the coffers are bare now.

Dear Mr. Homnick,
An excellent article. Thank you.
former Republican| 1.30.12 @ 12:36PM
The thing that impressed him about Governor Romney from their very first meeting, was his appetite for trying the fix the biggest problems facing the country.
Funny, that's the very thing that scares the sh*t out of this conservative. Why isn't Mr. Romneycare running for the nomination of the party of government?

Dear Jay,
So many thanks for this smashingly fine, tho somewhat circumscribed (if you'll excuse the expression) article.....Speaking as one who experienced the "eastside\westside equal time phenomenon in this community of voters whilst running for some trivial office in my nlittle corner of the third world's nether regions, I stae most emphatially that ...AS USUAL.. (well, OFTEN) you are right on target....the Jewish dichotomy I encountered was that of a bunch of guilt ridden blubberers shedding salty tears for the poor Arans and decrying the Likud as akin to Naziism and the real people...standing up for themselves, their own nation and for Israel ...in that order you may note....if you'll excuse the expression....
Just fabulously subtly mean and viciously visceral..etcetera
Love and Kisses,
Claudia
