Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Question for Jewish Kerry voters--Are you nuts?

Adam Brodsky:

On Tuesday, my tribe — the Jews — may blunder big- time, voting maybe 3-1 or more for John Kerry and perhaps giving him the edge.

Which raises a simple question: ARE YOU ALL NUTS?

Jews, the old stereotype suggests, earn like Episcopalians but vote like Puerto Ricans — that is, for Democrats.

Al Gore beat George Bush 4-1 among Jews in 2000.

But this election, Jews have more to lose than ever.

Sorry, but I need to be shrill: As Ed Koch (a Jewish Democrat backing Bush) said about Jesse Jackson, Jews would be crazy to pull the lever for John Kerry.

Let's face it: A vote for Kerry is a vote for European anti-Semitism. And terrorists. In Iraq . . . and Israel.

It's a vote for Hamas and Hezbollah, Syria and Iran.

Al Qaeda.

And Arafat, if he's alive.

...

To them, Zionists are blaspheming dogs who had the nerve to survive the Nazis and invade the Muslim Middle East.

They must be eradicated.

Will Kerry, a lifelong dove, stop them? Ha.

He wants to defer to the Europeans and the Zionism-is-racism United Nations. "Negotiate" with Iranians. Handcuff U.S. agents by scrapping the Patriot Act.

Kerry spent 30 years trying to cut defense and intelligence spending. He wants Israel to restart a "peace process" that led to a bloody Intifadah. He sees Israel's fence, which has saved lives, as "a barrier to peace."

...

For everyone, Jews most of all, the terror-fire that's raging should dwarf all else.

Kerry wants Americans to vote their hopes, not fears — lest he lose. Yet 2,000 years of Jewish history argues otherwise.

In an old joke, two Jews face a Nazi firing squad. The first accepts a blindfold, but the second refuses, prompting his friend to warn, "Don't make trouble."

Bush will make trouble.

And save lives.
