Simply Wrong
The Republicans are praying that President Bush\’s embrace of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon\’s Gaza withdrawal plan will sway the Jewish vote.
More Jews May Hop on Bush Bandwagon
Chaim Mentz is a registered Democrat who has voted Democratic in the past five elections.
Speaking Truth to Power — Not
There\’s nothing bashful about Jewish organizations, but in 2004, many suddenly go mute if the subject involves potential conflict with the Bush administration.
GOP’s Tough Task
The race for the Democratic presidential nomination has taken a fateful turn in the past several weeks. The rise — or re-emergence — of Sen.
John Kerry of Massachusetts, the decline of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and the withdrawal of Sen. Joe Lieberman make the quadrennial dream of Republicans that Jewish voters will vote Republican more difficult to achieve.
Against the Tide — Again
Can California\’s new Republican governor make inroads among traditionally Democratic Jews?
Q & A with Al Franken
A l Franken, \”Saturday Night Live\” alumnus, political commentator and satirist made headlines recently when the Fox News Channel sued him for using the term \”Fair and Balanced\” in the title of his new book, \”Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them, A Fair and Balanced Look at The Right\” (Dutton, 2003).
Meet Bill
What was that all about?\n\nThose on the left will say the recall election we just survived was a sneaky Republican power grab. Those on the right will say it was a citizen revolt against a sleazy and ineffectual governor.\n\nThose in the middle will say, \”Are we done yet?\”\n\nIt\’s not clear, this early on, who wins and who loses in this process. If Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger succeeds in balancing the state budget while improving California\’s business climate, educational system and environment — just as he promised — then we all win.
Why I Voted For Arnold
First a disclaimer: I have never met Arnold Schwarzenegger, have never spoken to him, was never contacted by his political people, no one ever asked me to support him, or offered me money to do so. I supported him because I respect him and because I am convinced that he will be good for California. In fact, if I may brag just a little, I started predicting that he would be the next governor of California many months ago, when only a few hard-line nuts seriously considered that a recall could be successful. I didn\’t think/hope that Gray Davis would be recalled. I just was sure that Arnold would run and win the next race.
Sept. 11 From the D.C. Perspective
\”I tried to persuade others in Hollywood to support his campaign because there was a lot of hostility there toward his candidacy,\” Lionel Chetwynd said. \”There was nothing dark to be read into it, although there was a preexisting relationship. They knew I\’d always been enthusiastic about Bush\’s presidential ambitions since the days he was governor of Texas.\”
