Yes, you have so much else to love about those ladies - a long history and being respectful of each other’s beliefs is wonderful.

I cannot fathom how the Jewish can be Democrat.

Lmao, someone left the door to the shed open, and when I went in for the leaf blower, i wound up shadow boxing with a chipmunk.
Got the blower, threw some fruit out side to get him to leave.

To me that means Liberal trumps Jewish, hence the adjective is incorrect.

That’s how it is here. We have a vibrant Orthodox community, but a bigger American Liberal community.

American Jews are just not all that hot on worrying about Israel. They are libs from way back. Hey, Terry mcauliffe is ostensibly a Catholic, same-same.

Even if i were not in Phila for a weekend with the inlaws this past weekend, i would not have seen it bc i am NOT watching anything political. As it is my stomach is in knots today over the VA election and i know i am very likely to be disappointed once again.

Call me whatever but i think pushing for such a ban weakens the brand and expends a lot of useless energy. We need to make the case for a grown up view of the role of gov’t and spending/entitlements. Couched in a laissez faire philosophy.

Graham is just trying to act bona fide for the rubes. This will turn off a lot of people, right or wrong. It’s just a bad idea.

We need to reform health care in a market way but won’t be able to if the “they wany to ban birth control and abortion” crowd is given merit.

Texas my have it, but America isn’t Texas. We need to win hearts and minds, not present the party as banners.

I would have chosen not to vote at all. I hope it works out for you.

Maybe. Maybe not.

But the argument over basic humanity, is not something to be taken lightly.

Neither is it to be used just to win an election and actually set the cause back overall.

Once you raise the issue, it transcends the election.
