1. Ed Koch too is endorsing Turner only as an indirect protest vote against
   
the Obama Administration's position towards Israel which to some appears evenhanded and fair, and to others, pro-Palestinian.

The Jewish democrats are singling one issue to get a candidate who, if elected, will decimate Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. But Israel will be all right . . . .

No comment from me. The bolded just called out to me. I bet most of those in the "evenhanded and fair" category have the munchies.

Amazing how people voted Republican last year and are continuing to vote Republican especially in Democratic strongholds.

6. That's not surprising but ironic
   
Turner lives in Breezy Point, which is kind of a poor man's Hamptons on the water in Queens. It's a restricted community - the likes of Hikind (Orthodox jew) would never be allowed in.

I'm not big on either one, though if it were my district I'd obviously vote for Weprin.

:bs:

A Jewish person (Orthodox or otherwise) would have no problem at all moving to Breezy Point, and it's not restricted, it just happens to be almost 100% White and the majority of people there are Irish Catholics.
