RE:"I may not care for Arab Americans, but I think as American citizens they are entitled to respect. This was a silly and cheap act. She returned the contribution to flatter the Jewish Community?gg
What that act supposed to make her, a friend of Jews?
This is an insult to Jews. !! Wasn't it Mrs. Clinton that called one of her Arkansas political enemies "S.O.B.ing Jew!" What a pity that people have such short memories!"

Actually, I'm glad you brought that up. I can remember when some people would say something like: "Some of my best friends are (of a certain ethnic group)" or "I know a lot of (one ethnic group)" and how patronizing this was to that particular ethnic group, most often African-Americans.
Hey, people know if you like them or not.

On the other hand, it's disturbing that one particular ethnic group would vote 90-10 or 75-25 for one particular party. This makes them a target for any candidate because that group has already been divided and will easily be conquered.
I'd certainly like to see no more than say a 60-40 split down group lines. This would mean both parties were addressing the needs of individuals rather than groups.
OTOH, since both parties are major supporters of Israel, I cannot understand such a skewed split in the Jewish vote toward the Democrats at this point in history. This without factoring in Leiberman. Can you explain this phenomenom?
