Can a Jew Ever become President? - Sampling Public Opinion

[Keyser Soze]

i think jews are swell foops

[OAS]

Sorry to disappoint you tools but this isn't a covert thing, the survey just hasn't gone public yet. However, if your phone rings and you agree to take the survey here are two of the questions you will be asked. What fun you can have answering them here first! (final wording of the questions are not yet completed).

1) Taking into account, current world political issues, If a presidential candidate were to have an ethnic background that could be interpreted by certain Middle Eastern cultures to be offensive, would you vote for or against that candidate simply on the issue of heritage?

2) In a hypothetical situation, if the next President of the United States had a Hebrew family heritage, would you feel that US interests would be more vulnerable to acts of terrorism?

And the only reason I don’t mention the candidates name is I will respect the organizations efforts to put this survey in the field as an anonymous candidate. However, the candidate does have a website gauging public support and he has publicly stated he is interested in a run in 2008 if he feels there is enough support.

I'm wearing aluminum foil on my head so OAS can't read my mind as I read this thread.

biased survey.

Why can't they just say "would you vote for a jew" rather than "remember, all the rest of the world hates jews and they will attack us if we have a Jew president. That said, would you vote jew?"

[OAS]

We broke through aluminum years ago. Shit is still a pretty decent deterrent.

[OAS]

All surveys are biased. And they are working through the "political correctness" of how to word the questions. Where is Carlin when you need him?

[Galt]

If it's Ed Rendell, he may have a shot, if it's Russ Fiengold, he has no shot.

Not because of their jewness, but because Fiengold is another way liberal northerner, while Rendell is moderate and could help in Penn/Ohio

[OAS]

One of your picks is correct.

after doing a bit of research, it appears as though my initial hung was wrong, and it's Feingold. No shot. To liberal. Too jewish sounding.

[OAS]

Does that individual lose because he's too liberal or because he's a jew? The next President will be a Democrat.

feingold? jewish sounding? not at all...

[Galt]

why will the next preseident be a democrat? Why couldn't they win this time? If they keep throwing way left people, there won't be a democrats in office for a long time....

And population growth is moving away from the big cities and toward the "red" areas.

[OAS]

The next President will be a Democrat because by 2008, America will be tired of the war in Iraq, Iran and Syria, we will be tired of the broken economy and we will be pissed at the Republican party for the draft and for increased taxes that we were told wouldn't happen. Plus the Republicans will not win with Guliani being the incumbent party VP.

[Galt]

draft? You keep believing that. And sure, Guiliani wouldn't help the Republicans or anything. Loved in NYC, he could help them carry the state, and virtually guarantee that the Republicans win. "Broken" economy? You stay the public sector/research shit whatever you're doing. Wall St. sees the economy as going, the business consulting industry is booming, so I have no idea what your citing for this "broken economy".

[Arpikarhu]

republicans have no hope of carrying ny in a presidential race in the forseeable future.

[Keyser Soze]

I'd bet $1000 there is no draft in the next 10 years. I wouldn't have a problem voting for a jew but I think many people would fear a jew president would make us an even more attractive target for terrorism.

[Mad]

I'd rather vote for a Jew, then some half-wit bible thumper.

[Keyser Soze]

i agree
