Zogby was blunt about how far we still have to go in the States. It doesn t play a role. Otherwise the Native Americans would be running America. Discussing the candidates current platforms, Zogby spoke of Bush s foreign-policy proposals, which call for a stronger defense system. Both these candidates are appealing to their base voter group that is to what their constituency, Republican or Democrat, wants to hear.
Foreign policy serves the purpose of recruiting voters.
We re on the map now. Candidates in the 1980s returned money donated by Arab lobby groups, terrorism propaganda was rampant, and Arab speakers had invitations to political gatherings canceled. They don t want to be perceived as backing the wrong group. Candidates are courting Arab-American votes. No candidate can afford not to win our votes.
