It’s not just New York Jews. Heck, it’s not just Jews. Anyone who is distressed by Obama’s loathing of Israel should be upset. Our only ally and the only democracy in the Mideast is being targeted by Barack Hussein Obama. Who could have seen THAT coming? It’s as if he was raised a Muslim by Marxist parents and spent 20 years listening to the Israel hatred of Jeremiah Wright. Wait . . . .
US Jews are such a small percentage of the population there’s no reason to cater to them.
US Jews use Christians but will vote DNC.
Smart move. Perry’s campaign managers are geniuses.
I will take Rick Perry’s stand on Israel any day over the wedge Obama has tried to insert between America and Israel.
Governor Rick Perry upon his trip to Israel in 2009
From: http://corridornews.blogspot.com/2009/08/world-acording-to-rick-perry-israel-is.html
(Excerpt)
Gov. Perry went on to describe his support for Israel from a religious point of view, saying, “I’m a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that’s ordained.”
(End of Excerpt)
It is about time the GOP goes after traditional Dem voters. Obummer has made things so crystal clear as to the vision of the modern Socialist Rat party that now is the time to get in there and show them there is a better way.
This is a smart move on Perry’s part and I hope he is able to persuade a few to come over to our side much like Reagan did in the 70’s and 80’s.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Lots of Jewish money there (New York) that is upset at the Israel hating Muzzlim in the White House. Money talks! Jewish money will go Republican in 2012!
Perry made good on that promise in July, when a cohort of liberal activists boarded a Gaza-bound aid boat with the goal of breaching Israel's maritime blockade of the Gaza strip.<<<…………..

".....Ainsman, a prominent Democratic lawyer and Pittsburgh Jewish community leader, was trying to explain that Obama had just been offering Israel a bit of “tough love” in his May 19 speech on the Arab Spring. His friends disagreed — to say the least.
[snip]
“When Obama was running, there was a lot of concern among the guys in my group at shul, who are all late-30s to mid-40s, who I hang out with and daven with and go to dinner with, about Obama,” recalled Scott Matasar, a Cleveland lawyer who’s active in Jewish organizations.
Matasar remembers his friends’ worries over whether Obama was “going to be OK for Israel.” But then Obama met with the community’s leaders during a swing through Cleveland in the primary, and the rabbi at the denominationally conservative synagogue Matasar attends — “a real ardent Zionist and Israel defender” — came back to synagogue convinced.
“That put a lot of my concerns to rest for my friends who are very much Israel hawks but who, like me, aren’t one-issue voters.”
Now Matasar says he’s appalled by Obama’s “rookie mistakes and bumbling” and the reported marginalization of a veteran peace negotiator, Dennis Ross, in favor of aides who back a tougher line on Netanyahu. He’s the most pro-Obama member of his social circle but is finding the president harder to defend.
“He’d been very ham-handed in the way he presented [the 1967 border announcement] and the way he sprung this on Netanyahu,” Matasar said.
A Philadelphia Democrat and pro-Israel activist, Joe Wolfson, recalled a similar progression.
“What got me past Obama in the recent election was Dennis Ross — I heard him speak in Philadelphia and I had many of my concerns allayed,” Wolfson said. “Now, I think I’m like many pro-Israel Democrats now who are looking to see whether we can vote Republican.”.............. -- Jewish Dems losing faith in Obama
