Jews and Bush

Just read this on SF Gate, which takes it from the British Sunday Herald:

The Sunday Herald also noted, "[I]n all religious categories -- except [that of] the Jewish faith -- Bush beat Kerry. Jews make up only 3 percent of U.S. voters and voted 74 percent [for] Kerry, 25 percent [for] Bush."

Now I gotta say, part of this seems a little suspect to me. I haven't seen the stats, but it's hard to imagine a majority of American Muslims voting for Bush...

And I'm sure that Kerry crushed among secular folks everywhere (outside of certain black-box counties in Ohio...).

But (as a Jew) I did want to take a sec to note (and ya know, celebrate) the strong Jewish support for Kerry, in case you ever happen to run across the argument I've sometimes hit that this is a war being fought on behalf of the Jews.

Sure, there are bad Jews like there are bad [pick a group]. But by the numbers I'm happy to see, the mass o' Jews do not support this president or this war.

As the saying goes: not in my [expletive] name...

OK, now back to your regular programming,
