[OT] Cam Kerry was Re: Senator Kerry and Sinai

Here is the basic family for those who don't know. I don't suppose there's a
connection between Cam converting to Judaism and the sudden appearance of
Kerry's JEWISH roots... do I?

"Richard and Rosemary had four children: Margery (1941), John (1943), Diana
(1947) and Cameron (1950). John, a Massachusetts Senator, is the 2004
Democratic Nominee for President. Cameron, who married a Jewish woman and converted to
Judaism in 1983, is a prominent Boston lawyer. "

Will, any number of people change their religion when they marry someone of
another religion. I seriously doubt Cameron Kerry's conversion had anything
to do with John Kerry or his political aspirations. My uncle was born
Jewish, as was all my family. His first wife was Protestant (don't know
what kind) and he "became" Protestant (I don't believe there was any process
by which he did that -- just said that he was). Years later he married a
Roman Catholic and officially converted to Catholicism. He kind of looked
like a Kennedy, so I didn't find it inappropriate at the time. If he had
married a third time, to a Hindu, for instance, he would have become that,
too. That's what some people do.

John Kerry didn't need a Jewish brother, or to suddenly discover that a part
of his family had actually been born Jewish many, many years earlier, to get
the Jewish vote. In general, Orthodox Jews vote for the status quo, and
there were probably many, many such voters for George W. Bush. Conservative
and Reform Jews tend -- but only tend -- to vote Democratic. I've never
been aware of any kind of Jewish bloc voting. If anything, John Kerry might
have lost votes due to the revelation of his background.
