During the presidential elections a few of the JTF membership met at the Israel day celebrations here in New York... We walked around passing out JTF anti Obama hand bills... The nasty looks and pure hate people had when they saw what was on the page told me that it was a total waste of time trying to change minds... Only one or two people thanked me and asked a few questions about JTF... Needless to say I was quite disappointed at the end of the day... Growing up in the city here in New York I have always noticed that Jew's and some of the other minority groups that immigrated here during the last century have a special relationship and outlook towards the Democrat party... Groups like this tend to be more concerned with local politics and look at national politics as a secondary issue... In the city people who were registered Republicans have very little say in local politics during the primary process... Once registered most people tend to vote the party line... So until something happens that makes Jews, Italians, Irish move away from a party affiliation that misrepresents their interests states like New York, Florida and a few others will always favor the Democrat candidates.
