"Democrat voters have done historic wrongs to the Jewish community, for example the Democrat FDR refused to accept the Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany..."
One: There's a difference between voters and politicians. It's disingenuous of you to associate the actions of politicians with the desires of voters. ALL politicians do things that do not reflect the desires of the people that voted them into office. Two: If American Jews were so upset about this why did they overwhelmingly continue voting Democrat for the next half a century? Why do thy continue to do so today, at a rate of three to one if your statistics are to be believed? Three: You need to historicise what's going on here. Antisemitism was far more common and acceptable before 1945, and this was true across national and political divides. AliceBG 19:09, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
