Bill Pascrell has bested Steven Rothman in New Jersey’s Ninth Congressional District. At first blush, good news for Hamas supporters who need an advocate in Congress. But on Twitter, National Review’s Dan Foster raises an intriguing possibility:
Pascrell wins #NJ9 But w/primary turning into Arab/Israel proxy, you have to think centrist Jews are going to be in play for GOP’s Shmuley.
He’s refering to Shmuley Boteach, the celebrity rabbi who’s running as a Republican in NJ-9. It’s probably a longshot — it’s a heavily Democratic district, Boteach strikes me as more suited to Dr. Phil or The View than to Congress, and the partisan loyalty of Jewish Democrats is maddeningly hard to break. Still, it may be a race worth watching.

The district is heavily black and Arab American. It is time for guys who vote for 50 billion for a foreign country but get peanuts for their districts are held accountable.

If the Arabs become a truly powerful constituency in this country, you won't like it, Jack. Trust me on that one.

This country is led by homosexuals, warmongers, liars thieves, abortionists, and pornographers. I don't see how the Muslims can be much worse. They help the Pope out at the UN on the issue of abortion and at least know that 2 men can't get married. That much respect they have for God's Natural Law. Our friends in the Reformed and Conservative sects have forgotten about the Laws of God and 3000 years of the Torah. No man should lie with a man like he does with a woman.

" I don't see how the Muslims can be much worse."
Blindness is your long suit.
The rest of us can see how, but we'll wait until they get rowdy before we act.
Then you can really see something!

Well, then---your kind of district, jackboot---Dhimmicratic and treasonous.

The Jewish vote is more than maddening to the observor who is informed. It is insane.

The Jews in the district are largely Orthodox and Republican and will not vote for Pascrell. The problem we have is that there are not enough of us to overcome the dems in the district as a whole. Its a D +9 district. Rabbi Boteach gets the race a little attention, perhaps can raise a bit more money than the GOP usually manages here, but I am not sure it will be enough. One can hope, however.

Let's see if the GOP can clean up the vermin in the district.
