Mr roT said...: Almost exactly. For some reason, Jews and blacks vote Democrat no matter what, as if it were a matter of tribe, and even when it is clearly in their interests to do the opposite.

They hem and haw and make convoluted arguments, then vote for a natural opponent, the Jews moreso than the blacks.

By contrast, whites, and especially the poorer ones (you know, the ones that cling to Jaysus and Winchester) the libs say vote contrary to their interests because libs see everything in terms of what the government can hand out to whom.

But the clingers are clinging to ideals of work and independence and are defining their interests that way (to a longer view).

So why do well-off Jews and cultured blacks still vote for Al Sharpton who can provide them with nothing and isn't anyone's ideal?
