| Arab-American Voters Shifting Back To Bush |
| 2004-09-16 |
| EFL and Hat Tip to VodkaPundit The best thing financial consultant Johnny Khamis heard out of New York was that you don't have to agree with the party to be a Republican. Democracy is funny that way. A little Reason and Logic goes a looooooonnnnnnnngggggggg way. It seems a lot of other Arab-American Republicans heard the same message. A new poll shows them switching from John Kerry back to Bush just since the Republican National Convention. They remembered that they too are Capitalists. I must confess. I am a Capitalist as well. The switch could re-elect Bush. Arab-Americans number the margin of victory in several key states. They represent 5% of the vote in Michigan, 2% in Florida, 2% in Ohio and 1.5% in Pennsylvania. Perhaps they decided to jump down from the burning roof. Seems the fiddler wasn't nearly as entertaining as they once thought. |

| #6 This artical specifically states Arab-Americans and not Muslim-Americans. I would say the the majority of Arab-Americans until recently were Christians fleeing persecution. The next big wave was Iraqi Muslims fleeing persecution. Both groups have little reason to be upset with Bush. |

| #2 that and maybe they are realizing that Kerry is a wacko, megalomaniac with a lucky hat - and it scares them. |
