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%.

As a Christian and an American, I am sad and scared for Isreal.
They’ve been supporting their oppressors for 4,000 years.... (”Oh, Samuel, will God please give us a King, like our pagan neighbors”)
And 78% of Jews don’t give a rats ass what happens to Israel.....
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.
If you’re a Catholic, you should give a rat’s a$$ about it because our God tells us we must.
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.
Suicidal. That’s all I can say, suicidal.
That's true of some...but not all.Probably not even "most".
“Yes,but we’re Germans—they wouldn’t do that to us.”
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>
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.....
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.
why do we conservatives always fight for the jews, when the vast majority of them never vote for us
Exit polls: 78% of Jews voted for Obama
They are in for an unpleasant suprise.
They sown the seeds of their own destruction; I'm fresh out of crying towels, they'll get no sympathy from me.
I am finding it harder and harder to have any sympathy for these people...
Remember when Moses came back down the mountain after that little chat with God? MMMhhhhmmmm. Been that way for centuries.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
