What does it take and how much effort along with how much of a dose of reality does it take to move a Jew away from those that hate him?
What are Jews doing in that party anyway? OK, let's suppose the Dems had a “normal” candidate, just once, (pure fiction but stay with me here, folks), I can UNDERSTAND a little bit, why they'd vote for him/her BUT...and this is a big but, why would any Jew in his right mind vote for Obama, not just once, but TWICE??
I can only scratch my head and refer to the book by Maimonides, “A Guide for the Perplexed”...
The Jewish vote may evolve the way of the Roman Catholic and white southern votes have. That is first switch to the GOP in national presidential elections. Then in congressional races. Then finally after a generation or more voting GOP in local elections.
To me a more interesting analysis is whether Obama is driving African-American voters back to the GOP with his border policies. Since the African-American vote is about 6 times that of the Jewish vote, that would make for a bigger deal in terms of outcome. Between social issues and economic issues tied to immigration, the GOP should be working on a campaign to welcome African-American voters back to the party of Lincoln.
Same tribe very different clan. In Israel the Jews are armed and street smart. The group here feels they own the dem party. There may be bad apples but they bought and paid for it. Both groups have strong socialist leanings.
