4. I think racism would rear its ugly head once again. I know one guy who voted
for Obama because "at least he's not a goddamn Jew".

I've been gobsmacked at the amount of under-the-radar there apparently was, now on display and even somewhat acceptable to some circles, since Obama's election. I think many of us would be shocked at the degree of anti-Semitism is out there.

My country breaks my heart sometimes.

5. Sad, but true. A NY Jew winning the Presidency?
Especially one with Weiner's positions? Wow.

6. it's not nice to say...
Edited on Fri Jul-30-10 05:06 PM by Kurovski
but attitudes often die along with the death of the individual who holds them.

Are their any breakdowns in age where you see anti-semitism, I've not seen any polls or studies. There must be some.

I see racism of all kinds in the elderly, not so much the younger you go. But I don't know.

3. Yup. We still seem to think this is all about ideas.
The Rs know it is about getting what their backers want and getting it any way they can.

8. Just saw Dianne Sawyer report on this
she opened by referring to all the "wrangling" in Washington.

She needs a new script writer. "solid Republican obstructionism" would be the accurate reporter's term.

We've never seen such nakedly political obstructionism ever. No.

9. Is it too much to wish for that all of our congress critters fought for us
every day this way?

Even half as much would be better than what we usually get.
