Voting blindly according to one’s political party affiliation is nothing new. In fact, the concept has been around since we’ve had different political parties. I have been a registered Republican from the very get-go because I believe more in the Republican philosophy than the one put forth by the Democrats. Am I interested in third party principles, whatever they may be. Not a chance.
A lot of people used to say to me, “You’re Jewish. So why are you a Republican?” A lot of people now say to me that I am a RINO, Republican in Name Only, because I consistently cross party lines based on my own assessment of the issue or the candidate at hand. I ask you, isn’t that what America is supposed to be about?
The Jews, who have been putting up with the worst kind of incessant bullshit for 2,000 years are a prime example of voting according to party lines, perhaps more so than any other group – and that has been for the Democratic party, at least in my lifetime, whether or not they believed in the Democratic party position, on whatever.
I’ll go so far as to say that if Adolf Hitler were alive today and was running for political office as a member of the Democratic party, most Jews, those that are registered Democrats, would automatically vote for him – because he is a Democrat.
There, I’ve said it. And with that incendiary statement behind us, I direct you to the joke below. Remember, the meeting never happened because it is a joke, even though the individual references did, and if you can’t handle the joke, then you are most likely beyond help.
TRUMP AND HILLARY WALK INTO A BAR
They ask for a quiet table and after they are seated, Donald leans over, and with a smile on his face, says, “The media are really tearing you apart for that scandal.”

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. AFTER ALL THAT SHIT, YOU’RE STILL GOING TO VOTE FOR HER? YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT? JUST GOOGLE THEM, ONE AT A TIME.
Thanks for the list of Hillary’s scandals. !!
Thank-you Stan and I hope that you don’t mind that I payed this one forward on LinkedIn.
Keep forsaking reasonable objectivity for that rightwing echo chamber. After all the Repubs are not extreme at all. Keep missing what echoes for what matters.
Neither party is blameless but your view of Hillary is distorted.
I had gotten this joke before — the meeting I know never happened but the references, as you say, did. I like your references about the staunch Democrats who would vote for Hitler if he had been a democrat. That is so true. Today I was talking to one of the grandmothers I see twice a week (her granddaughter and mine are in the same kindergarten class) and she is a die-hard Democrat who loves Obama and thinks he is great. She also loves Hillary and feels that the Republican Party is a mess. I was dumbfounded and reprimanded myself yet again to not discuss politics (I’m hardly fluent in that anyway) with anyone who does not believe what I do. I haven’t heard from another friend who also is a total democrat. Sharon, keep your mouth shut!!! Crossing party lines with certain beliefs is certainly allowable, for heaven’s sakes. I think that this whole candidacy and entire political arena is a media circus and has been for way too long. The forefathers and originators of The Constitution would be appalled by
what’s going on now.
love it that you used it ! And oh boy, having grown up in Glencoe, Illinois (affectionately known as Glencohen)…do I ever relate to what you said about all Jews being Democrats no matter what, and no other opinions invited, sought or wanted. I first learned this in 5th grade, when we had a mock election, learned what dems and reps were, and I found myself in a minute minority, with all all all Jewish classmates automatically democrats, as were their parents. I think you are VERY refreshing, and indeed, your way is the right way. I also could be called a RINO, although not in this election cycle (or the last two!)
I usually ignore these but this is so waaaaaay over the top & clearly partisan I had to reply.
Try changing their positions & list all of Trump’s lie. Missteps, changed positions, bigotry…..
Fair IS fair
