Why anybody of the Jewish faith would be a repug. Still has me in a query. When I was in elementary school we had a Jewish girl in my class. Nobody wanted to be her friend but me. The rest of the kids didn't want anything to do with her because of her faith. That was the late 50's in a red part of PA.

Guess I was a liberal then already. Even then I couldn't understand why people had to be so full of hate.
