76% Of US Citizens In Israel Voted For McCain (Exit Polls Show)

I keep telling you all that Republican candidate John Sidney McCain would win a much higher percentage of the votes of American citizens who live in Israel than any of the polls were showing. I was right.
The exit polls show a very strong preference for John McCain over Barack Obama. The polls, carried out and analyzed by Keevoon, a Jerusalem-based research, strategy and communications firm, indicate that 76% of the polled voters in Israel said they voted for Republican candidate John McCain; 24% said they cast their ballot in favor the Democrat, Barack Obama. The information is based on data collected from 817 absentee voters at several voting events in Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv as well as an online survey.
And I was right about the reasons too.

A few interesting figures about the voters:

...

46% of Democrats crossed party lines to vote for McCain.
Only 2% of Republicans voted for Obama. And
57% listed foreign policy (including Israel) as the most important factor in their consideration; 14% listed the economy; 7%, Iran; and 6%, the war in Iraq/terrorism.
Nearly two-thirds were 'very concerned' with Iran; 93% agreed that a nuclear Iran would be a threat to the U.S.

Perhaps most interesting is that McCain is viewed as more capable of handling challenges, even among Obama voters.
Someone please get these figures to all those misguided American Jews who think Barack Hussein Obama is best for Israel.

Bob Wexler will have no comments on this poll.

Heh.

Now the question is: do these votes reflect the mindset of Jews in the United States?

“Now the question is: do these votes reflect the mindset of Jews in the United States?”

It’s amazing to me that he only got 76% is Israel.

As for American Jews, I just shake my head. They have to be the most self-loathing group I’ve encountered. I would bet Obama gets 2/3 of the vote.

If we could only get half that percentage of their American Jewish cousins to vote for McCain this election would be a done deal and McCain Palin will be the next President and Vice President of the United States.

I think 70% of the American Jews have a “death wish”.

I don’t think the American jewish vote is going to be that hight for Obama this year, I think it may be 50/50 and if I’m right, it spells big problems for Obama.

Also if these are absentee ballots then they are american votes, so perhaps, Obama does not have as much of a lock on them as he thinks.

You mean 100% of those dead citizens that are voting this year are voting for Obama. There are plenty of dead people outside of Chicago that I am sure are not voting.

60 years ago in Europe, spread out Jews were rounded up, methodically and centralized and delivered to the ovens.
Never again, it was said, that Jews would not be effectively able to defend themselves. And with Israel, Jews have a refuge, even if surrounded by enemies, but that isn't anything new for Jews.

However, with the development of nuclear weapons and minor tweaking of but basic Nazi V2 rocket technology, the oven can be delivered to centralized Jews in Israel. The smallness and density of Israel doesn't require sophisticated or accurate warhead guidance. A barrage of ten will produce a radioactive wasteland.

Israelis can not afford illusions. The Iranians and Islamics who like Imperial Japanese Marines on Guadalcanal, or Japanese Kamikaze pilots at Okinawa will joyfully die trying. Trying to bring upon a (to them) joyful world of peace and prosperity under Allah(PBUH).

Liberal leftist American Jews need to wake the f up.

I thought about that when I wrote it, but since it was a joke I wanted to paraphrase the title...I didn’t think the grammar police would call me on it.

American liberal Jews (I have a family filled with them) are mostly sheep. They don't even consider thinking for themselves. They want to be one with their friends and be cool. I made some uncomfortable by telling them about Obama's ties to terrorists who despise Israel. But they are probably still voting for Barack. These people usually think Pat Buchanan is a huge enemy to the Jews (and I don't think he is fond of us myself), but Obama is CLOSE and SUPPORTIVE and actually INDEBTED to actual, intend-to-destroy-us enemies. But he's the first Black Presidential Candidate. He is just SO Cool. And it's just So Cool to be supporting him.
