Sunday, Oct. 31, 2004 11:54 a.m. EST Kerry Stepson: Jewish Lobby Too Powerful
John Kerry's stepson, Chris Heinz, complained at a recent campaign stop that Jews have too much influence on the U.S. presidential election.
"One of the things I've noticed is the Israel lobby," the ketchup heir said, in quotes picked up Sunday by the New York Post.
Heinz complained that Israel was being treated as "the 51st state, sort of a swing state."
In more overheated rhetoric first reported by Philadelphia magazine, Heinz called Bush supporters "our enemies" and said that if he ran his stepfather's campaign, the attacks on President Bush would get even uglier.
"We didn't start out with negative ads calling George Bush a cokehead," Heinz reportedly explained before adding, "I'll do it now."
Asked later about the comment, Heinz turned sarcastic, saying: "I have no evidence. He never sold me anything."

Kevin,
What is amusing about this is that Ziocon Michael Medved said that in polling that was done in Israel recently that Bush is running a head 5-1. :caiphas:

I wonder if the neocons who jumped on this are trying to lobby the Jewish vote for Bush. I'd be surprised if it worked very much, but you never know. Reagan's after got 50% of the Jewish vote in 1980 after some of Andrew Young's remarks, in spite of what I thought was Carter's exemplary work with the Camp David accords.

That's about the rate he lost by in California, New York and Florida among a very special :caiphas: segment of society.
