"In recent years, the Arab-American community has re-assessed its political alignment," said Connolly. "Frankly, it has found a much more welcoming home in the Democratic party in terms of appreciation for diversity, tolerance - whether it be religious tolerance, whether it be tolerance for different ethnicities - so I think we have seen a real sea-change in the Arab-American community attitudes about the two parties and a lot more affinity for the Democratic party."

I hope Connolly gets the shellacking he deserves on Tuesday. He votes to send our young people over to the Middle East to fight the "war on terror" and then does this crap to further his political self back home. Shameful.
