Slideshow: Pictures of the week The polls all put Jews at 2% of the poll sample.

In 2004, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry won 74% of the Jewish vote, and in 2000, Al Gore received 79%.

The MSNBC data found the numbers amongst Christians in Tuesday's election were far closer, with 45 percent of Protestants and other Christians and 54% of Catholics voting for Obama. Together, they made up 81%of the poll sample.

78% of jews do not need to cry over Isreal.

[Boiling Pots]

They will rue the day, I swear it.

[Rocko]

Nearly the opposite of the polls in Israel.

[anniegetyourgun]

In that day, it will be too late.

[nevergore]

They just swept Israel into the dustbin of history.....

[DAC21]

They just can’t help themselves from willingly walking to the showers.

[MissMagnolia]

Tag line.

Question—Do Jews in America care about Israel?

With this voting I would assume they don’t.

If they do they are voting against their own self-interest.

[demsux]

I’m beginning to think that if American Jews don’t even support Israel through their voting...then why the hell do I (a Catholic) give a rats ass about it?

[ought-six]

Now I fully understand why European Jews calmly walked to their deaths in 1939-1945: They truly are suicidal. Go figure.

[silverleaf]

they are guiltiest-feeling white liberals in American society

They will reap what they sow- but so will we

[AbeKrieger]

Stunning and disgraceful. They will live to mourn the passing of Israel and Jerusalem. It started last night.

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

as one of the other 22%, I am so very sad and so very scared today.

I will never understand the other meshuggah 78%; I will never understand how they view the world. Did they not learn the lessons of the past? Well, apparently not.

[Gay State Conservative]

One of the many “tests” that President Hussein will face (soon!)is Iran v Israel.Hussein will treat Iran with kidd gloves...and might even openly side with them.Then we'll see how many Jews vote for him next time.

[Apercu]

Chickens voting for Col. Sanders.

[roses of sharon]

Bigots.

[pgyanke]

Anyone see any numbers on the Catholic vote?

[NetSurfer]

Exactly. They clearly don't give a sh*t. Why should we?

From now on, I care about my own family. THAT IS ALL.

PS I can smell the racism brewing...

[GinaLolaB]

In my opinion, the only thing that happened yesterday was that the NeoCon Jews handed power back to the Liberal Jews.

[autumnraine]

As a Christian and an American, I am sad and scared for Isreal.

[Psalm 73]

They’ve been supporting their oppressors for 4,000 years.... (”Oh, Samuel, will God please give us a King, like our pagan neighbors”)

[AngelesCrestHighway]

And 78% of Jews don’t give a rats ass what happens to Israel.....

[Undertow]

They will still vote for him in overwhelming numbers. These are liberal Jews. they believe that Israel shouldn’t exist and the Palestinians are being oppressed.

[wolfpat]

If you’re a Catholic, you should give a rat’s a$$ about it because our God tells us we must.

[Vince Ferrer]

I’m beginning to think that if American Jews don’t even support Israel through their voting...then why the hell do I (a Catholic) give a rats ass about it?

I have to admit there are only so many times I can go up and talk someone down from a window ledge. After a while, it is their choice. People get the results they ask for.

[Mr. Mojo]

When Obama throws Israel under his megabus, I'll break out my extensive “I told you so, morons” list of friends and acquaintances. ...and I'd let ‘em all have it mercilessly.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Suicidal. That’s all I can say, suicidal.

[Gay State Conservative]

These are liberal Jews. they believe that Israel shouldn’t exist and the Palestinians are being oppressed.

That's true of some...but not all.Probably not even "most".

[Carl LaFong]

“Yes,but we’re Germans—they wouldn’t do that to us.”

[Jack Black]

Question—Do Jews in America care about Israel?

Many do not. Most American Jews are not religious. With a long history of support for liberal politics many have internalized the liberal line: moral equivelence between Israel and Palesting, the original sin of Israel's creation, the need for "land for peace" and other myths of the left. I guess realistically many have been here for 4 or more generations, like many of the rest of us, and their primary allegiance is not to a country they never lived in, but to their vision for the USA>

[Psalm 73]

"Anyone see any numbers on the Catholic vote?"

No, but I can imagine it is pretty high for Obama - and they will have the blood of millions more slaughtered babies on thier hands.....

[padre35]

Been pondering the same rational myself, if Israel is not an issue that brings people to the table, then why are we putting our electoral chances on the line election after election?

At the end of the day though, Israel is an ally of the US, these numbers are discouraging, but you have to support your friends.

[4rcane]

why do we conservatives always fight for the jews, when the vast majority of them never vote for us

[hgro]

Exit polls: 78% of Jews voted for Obama

They are in for an unpleasant suprise.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Exit polls: 78% of Jews voted for Obama

They sown the seeds of their own destruction; I'm fresh out of crying towels, they'll get no sympathy from me.

[lesko]

I am finding it harder and harder to have any sympathy for these people...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Remember when Moses came back down the mountain after that little chat with God? MMMhhhhmmmm. Been that way for centuries.

[Alouette]

FReepMail to be added or removed from this pro-Israel/Judaic/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[meandog]

Many Jews also voted for Hitler in the 1930s in the belief that his brand of national socialism would restore the ravished German economy that was beset by hyper inflation.

[DooDahhhh]

When you find out the answer to that please clue me in.

[dynachrome]

78% of Jews are pro-gas chamber.

[Braak]

This Jew and his wife voted McCain. Whatever happens...my concience is clear.

Let's add those to the numbers found in the thread The Awesome Blue God -- How Obama Forged A New Faith Coalition:

75% McCain, 25% Obama - Evangelicals
54% McCain, 44% Obama - Weekly church-goers
51% McCain, 49% Obama - White Catholics
45% McCain, 54% Obama - Catholics

[Terry Mross]

A lot of so called Christians and Jews went into the voting booth yesterday and bought themselves a one way ticket to hell. They are blind. The look but do not see. The have ears but do not hear.

[madinmadtown]

IMHO, it seems that there is a strange aura and allure of Marxism for Jews. The Kibbutz experiment in Israel is a perfect example of that allure. I truly do not understand. It is a romance and mystification that defies logic, especially after Marxism fails again and again.

[libs_kma]

Isreal will have to hit Iran by themselves now. They can't wait four years for Conservative tidal wave that will sweep the Obamanation back into the street.

No way Obambi' going to back an Isreal attack on Iran, or lift one finger to make sure Iran doesn't get a nuke.

Hell, Russia probably dropped off a few nukes to their Iranian buds this morning. Who's gonna tell em not to?

[TNdandelion]

I know several IN Israel that supported Obama. They are a sovereign nation with their own interests at heart, I’m sure. Whatever!
