From what my orthodox friends tell me - “they are self-hating Jews.

Ninety percent of the 65 percent of Jews supporting Obama live in California and New York, neither of which Romney can win unless he, unlike Obama in 2008, actually is the Messiah.

On the other hand, the 35 percent of Jews not voting for Obama, including the 13 percent increase in this category since 2008, will be spreading their wealth for Republicans in the other forty-eight states which Romney will therefore have a greater chance of winning.

BTW, since Jews make up such a small percentage of the population, polling companies cannot accurately determine the Jewish vote. Not only are Jewish Americans widely spread out, but if pollsters were to ask each person they called if they’re Jewish, many Jewish American including myself would not answer such a question and would hang up.

“Wrong! Gallup has 0bama up only 4 in RV among Cathloics which means 0bama would still be underperforming.”

We’ll see what election day brings. I hope your poll is right and mine is wrong, but I’m skeptical based on previous performance by Catholics at the polls.

Can’t fault them too much. How many Americans are liberal even though supporting Obama will destroy their own country? All victims of multi-generational brain-washing in the public school system...

It has to said that many Jews have a latent fear, or call it a strong suspicion, that the only reason Christians act as if they care about Israel and have a high regard for the Jewish people is to get close enough to proselytize and convert them. Speaking as a Christian I firmly believe this is not at all the case.

American Protestants in particular are brought up on Torah Scripture as well as a book that was exclusively written by a band of first century Jews writing about the one they considered to be Messiah, so all our Sunday morning heroes happen to be Jews. For most of us it's a heart felt love. But I have observed among Europeans (self professed Christians included) a remaining undercurrent of rank anti-semitism.

Amazing.....baffling. Why do jewish people support a president/campaigner-in-chief that clearly gives every break and nod, and apology for the very people (muslims) that want to destroy them!

I’m sure that you don’t identify with the Unitarian Church, but they count as ‘Christians’.


I agree overall, but Unitarians to not believe in the Holy Trinity, the core of Christian teaching, so by definition aren’t “Christian.”

Incidentally, did you hear about the Unitarian family that someone was trying to terrorize? Someone burned a question mark in their lawn!

Real Jews for the most part are not suicidal.

The conventional political wisdom is that Jews are valued by Democrats for their money, not their votes.

Taking “Jews” as a whole I am afraid it is true that they are more intolerant of and afraid of Christians than Muslims.

Most of them live in cities, like most Catholics. Besides, both political parties are anti-Israel to various extents (see Rice’s many comments and actions against Israel).

As many have noted for some years now, it is primarily American Christians (not Jews) that support a safe, strong, and vibrant Israel. The majority of American Jews have, most regretfully, strayed a long ways from their tradition’s moral values and teachings — rather like Nancy Pelosi has with respect to the Church. It appears part of a much larger reversion in Western civilization to a self-centered paganism, or? Certainly many good Protestant preachers — as well as Popes JP2 and Benedict, have tried to address this problem.

Not so true. As far as money, donations, contributions, American Jews support Israel in many tremendous ways. More so than Christians. Liberal Jews and Obama loving Jews also donate to Israel but maybe to squishy liberal charities. Friends of the IDF is very good Israeli charity that helps injured soldiers with rehab and also has USO type operations for them. Liberal Jews also visit Israel which brings in tourist money. All Christian support is appreciated and as far as supporting the real Israel that stands against Islamic Jihad, I admit that many Christians are more educated, more stalwart than some spoiled (ingrate) American Jews.

DO NOT DARE call me anti-semetic. I was curious as to why Jews vote Democrat, and that quote is what I found when I Googled the question. Perhaps you can try to answer that for me???

But, here, read this - the Jewish Democrat Chair of Palm Beach County at the democrat convention earlier this month:

“The Democratic Party chairman of Palm Beach County said Wednesday at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C., that he believes Christians want to see Jews either killed or converted to Christianity.

Palm Beach County Democratic Party chairman Mark Alan Siegel, a Boca Raton attorney and former eight-term New York state assemblyman, told Patriot Update video reporter Scottie Hughes that Christians who profess support for Israel are “the worst possible allies with the Jewish state.”

“The Christians,” Siegel said, “just want us to be there so we can all be slaughtered and converted, so they can bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ.”

The Jews pretty much invented international socialism, so they still support it, despite its anti-semitism.

There is nothing worse than self hating Jews.
