As many of us here have been predicting since Sam Francis days, the Jewish-lead coalition that forms the core of the Democratic Party is coming undone. That's because Jews are demanding too much and paying too little - they're not paying off their coalition partners well enough to keep their loyalty.
As long as this current War to Defend Israel continues, the pressure on the Racial Extortion Coalition that is the Democratic Party can only increase, as Jews are forced to divert funding to the war effort from payola for the black and brown elites.
That's why this current war is in our interests. We must do everything we can to encourage our deeper involvement in the Middle East quagmire.
Worse is better - and the article below is proof of that.

A DEMOCRAT PARTY DIVIDED
By: Dave Franklin
"If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this." So said Virginia Democratic Congressman, Jim Moran while speaking at Saint Anne's Episcopal Church in March 2003. Moran was forced to apologize for his accusation made at an anti-war rally in Reston, VA. But that was eight months ago and the left's growing contempt for patriotic Jews who support the war on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan has since crystallized in the Democratic Party.
Just ask Joe Lieberman.
Billed by MSNBC as the most important debate thus far in the 2004 Democratic primaries, a recent event in Iowa included eight out of the nine candidates running for that party's nomination. The only candidate to be excluded against his will from participating in the debate, moderated by NBC anchor and author Tom Brokaw, was Senator Joseph Lieberman (CT). Lieberman, who is Jewish, said that he was told over the phone by Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry Mcauliffe that he would not be allowed to join the debate.
But Al Sharpton was there. Despite past problems with his rhetoric about Jews, and though he is polling among the bottom, Rev. Sharpton was allowed to be on stage. An October 2003 Zogby poll had the New York preacher who describes himself as a "civil rights activist" below one percent. Also participating in the debate were Dennis Kucinich and Carol Mosley Braun, both of them are at or below one percent in the polls.
Brokaw asked Sharpton if he'd apologize for promoting accusations made by Tawana Brawley, who accused six white New York policemen of raping her. A 1988 Grand Jury dismissed Brawley's complaint, determining that her claims were not credible. Sharpton refused to apologize, seeming to stand by the accusations. And Brokaw did not ask Sharpton (who had previously demanded an apology from Gov. Howard Dean for his remarks about pickup trucks and the Confederate Flag) to apologize for his actions during the Crown Heights riots in 1991.
Early in 2003, Joe Lieberman was leading in national polls for the Democratic nomination. The Senator had high name recognition from his 2000 campaign for Vice President as Al Gore's running mate. But events in the primary campaign have turned against him. After having been booed by Democratic activists at candidate forums, and with the words "except Lieberman" launching across the lips of staunch anti-Bush activists, the Senator's poll numbers have dropped to around five percent.
That puts Joe Lieberman's hopes of getting his party's nomination for President far lower than Jim Moran's chances of being re-nominated to represent Virginia's 8th district in Congress. Somehow, the VA Democrat party has managed to put itself right back in Jim Moran's camp. His top opponent for the Democrat nomination, Fairfax County Supervisor Katherine Hanley apparently could not raise enough money to mount an effective challenge to him in spite of calls for Moran's resignation by Jewish members of Congress.
Disappointment for Northern Virginia Jews is clear. The Washington Post quoted Rabbi Jack Moline of Alexandria expressing his view of the reaction to Hanley's exit. "Given that a significant group of Democratic Jewish activists had supported her campaign, I imagine they can't help but be disappointed -- she was their candidate," said Rabbi Moline. Jim Moran remains the frontrunner for the 2004 election to Congress, as does Howard Dean for President.
Gov. Dean (VT) came under fire back in September for comments about the relationship between the United States and Israel. Thirty-four House Democrats sent a blistering rebuke to Howard Dean for saying that America needed to be "evenhanded" in dealing with Israel and that the U.S. should "not take sides" in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. That situation amplified existing concerns for Democrats on whether their party would be united should Dean win the nomination.
Dean clarified his remarks and insisted that the United States is "the only country capable of bringing peace to the Middle East, and when we sit at the negotiating table, we do have to have the trust of both sides or we will never succeed". Negotiation with terrorists seems to be the Democrat's primary strategy for peace in the Middle East. So those Dean once called "soldiers", the terrorists of Hamas will be able to "trust" Howard Dean. Does he think that Al Qaeda will be able to trust a Dean administration as well?
Though Howard Dean has managed to find a way around the big Democratic donors, a question lingers whether his party will survive. Jewish donors have been a sustaining force for the Democrats and that well is going to run dry in 2004. When Al Sharpton is allowed to debate and Joe Lieberman is not, the words of Johns Hopkins University political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg have an interesting ring to them.
"Without Jews there isnââ¬â¢t much of a Democratic Party, and theyââ¬â¢d better start saving their nickels and dimes because theyââ¬â¢re not going to get as many Jewish dollars," Ginsberg told the Jewish Week. Howard Dean has all of those anti-war Internet donors, so he doesn't mind. But unless she hijacks the 2004 Democratic Convention in Boston, Hillary Clinton still has to run for New York re-election in 2006, as do the thirty-four House Democrats that rebuked Howard Dean.

WY says: "That's why this current war is in our interests.We must do everything we can to encourage our deeper involvement in the Middle East quagmire." Will you still say this when and if your son is drafted and gets killed in action?
