permalinkCross-posted at RedStateYou may have seen the absurdly political hit-piece by the National Jewish Democratic Council on Mitt Romney this week. Serious commentators like
Jonah Goldberg have made some appropriate comments but everyone admits the NJDC was out to purposely harm Romney a day before his announcement for the Presidential race.
Not to be outdone, Jennifer Rubin,
writing for ABCNews online, levels her sites at Romney and the entire GOP and asks "why don't more Jewish people vote Republican?" She concludes:
In short, the Republicans are not just our kind of people, many Jews say. They don't sound like us, they don't talk like us and they don't understand us.
This is an absurd channeling of all American Jews. But she's not done yet with fictional hypotheticals:
Indeed, the incident may say something not only about Romney but about the GOP's problem with Jews. In his boatload of advisers, Romney apparently did not have anyone to say, "You know, a lot of Jews really hate Ford, and it might mess up your message. Let's try Edison's lab to make a point about American innovation.
Lucky for Romney he wouldn't have had to change venues at all. You see Jen,
Edison's Lab was actually taken down and moved to a museum.
The Henry Ford Museum!Of course, there was plenty of precedent for the Ford Museum. George Bush Sr. and Robert Dole both held campaign events at the museum. Even Rudy Giuliani appeared there at a 2006 fundraiser.
Perhaps Jennifer took issue with this excerpt from Romney's speech:
"Henry Ford - a small entrepreneur - once said that the best Americans were those with 'an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.' We honor today those kinds of Americans, testament to the power of enterprise and the strength of the human spirit."
Ooops... my mistake - that wasn't Mitt it was Bill Clinton in 1999.

From
National ReviewKey Excerpts:
"I love America and I believe in the people of America.
I believe in God and I believe that every person in this great country, and every person on this grand planet, is a child of God. We are all sisters and brothers.
I believe the family is the foundation of America – and that we must fight to protect and strengthen it.
I believe in the sanctity of human life.
I believe that people and their elected representatives should make our laws, not unelected judges.
I believe we are overtaxed and government is overfed. Washington is spending too much money.
I believe that homeland security begins with securing our borders.
I believe the best days of this country are ahead of us, because…
I believe in America!"
"There are some who believe that America's strength comes from government – that challenges call for bigger government, for more regulation of our lives and livelihood, and for more protection and isolation from competition that comes from open markets."
"That is the path that has been taken by much of Europe. It is called the welfare state. It has led to high unemployment and anemic job growth. It is not the path to prosperity and leadership. "
"How is the American family made stronger? With marriage before children. With a mother and a father in the life of every child. With healthcare that is affordable and portable. With schools that succeed. With taxes that are lower. And with leaders who strive to demonstrate enduring values and morality."
Good speech. You can read the whole thing at the link above.
