What do you think about Jewish Control of government in the USA?
As per the National Post(financialpost.com) today, `Jews ( American Jews) provide Democrats with more than 50% of their campaign funding`.It goes on to say Jews and now `warming`to Republicans too. I wondered why the Republican presidential candidates were making such firm statements to support Israel.Should such a tiny minority have so much influence?
I do not blame the Jews for looking after their interests. What they are doing is perfectly understandable and legal. However I do not like the situation where a tiny ethnic minority has so much influence. Suppose Israel got into a big war where they were losing, would you want the USA to enter this war because 4% of America with money ( the Jews) wanted to spend the lives of Americans to save the "Jewish State"?

Worries much more about the corporate control of the US government.
Corporate control that we've seen grow and broaden rapidly over just the past 30 years.

Question? Why does everyone assume that all Jews are bad just because a few of them are?
Has anyone else noticed this line of thinking when it comes to one's race against another's?
Basically, historically, the minorities have tended to support the Democratic Party over the Republican Party. This has changed since the American Civil War, which was the reverse. Care to explain how that happened? Regardless, if you are a minority you tend to support those who will help you and not hinder you.
It is well known that the Republican Party is a party of the rich, for the rich, and to protect the rich. And in this case, it basically means whites. The Democrats are not really much better in that they accept funding from organizations, as well as individuals, to exploit their own goals and do not really care about minorities unless they have money. Obama is a Democrat and a black, yet he has done very little to help the black population over the white population, that he has done a good bit to help protect the corporations who fund him. Of course, he has also hurt them because he is not 100% capitalist.
If you want to complain about something, complain about the rich versus the poor. If Obama even fell into the middle class to begin with, he would be one of the poorest presidents in history. Had he risen from the streets, then you would see things being done differently. To the best of my knowledge, every president and presidential candidate has been in the upper class, if not the upper upper class.

Why don't we just quit it with blaming the Jews for everything? They can contribute to whom they want in what ever amount they want, or you'd have to outlaw the millions the Evangelicals give to support Republicans.
If they have influence its because the parties both want as much money as possible from as many people as possible, and bitchin and moaning because there are Jewish people who donate is stupid.
Not everyone is a Christian Evangelical either and I don't hear the same charges against them for hold the country to their excessive standards in abortion.

In America, religion is not part of our government. You are jumping to conclusions. There isn't any influence like you spin. As you yourself said "what they are doing is legal".
You do not like a situation that doesn't exist, so then why try to make a case?
Perhaps if you're so skiddish you should move elsewhere rather than start a problem.
