<snip> And then there was Secretary of State James Baker's infamous "fuck the Jews" remark. In a private conversation with a colleague about Israel, Baker reportedly uttered the vulgarity, noting that Jews "didn't vote for us anyway." This was more or less true—Bush got 27 percent of the Jewish vote, compared with 73 percent for Dukakis, in 1988. And thanks in part to Baker, it was even truer in 1992, when Bill Clinton got 78 percent of the Jewish vote and Bush got only 15 percent—the poorest showing by a Republican candidate since Barry Goldwater in 1964. <snip>

On edit: To any Jew reading this... If you think Bush cares about Israel, you are WRONG! Israel is his "patsy!" It plays to the ultra-right wing and it plays to those 'progressives' who see any US action in the ME as a result of US support of Israel! Make no mistake, brothers and sisters, we are getting IT from both extremes!!!!!
