Evidence That Jewish Vote is Shifting to McCain

Yesterday a Poll from Sienna College was released showing that McCain was gaining on Obama in NY State. The most astounding part of the Poll was the Jewish Vote that represents about 12% of the total in NY is supporting McCain by a 54% to 32% margin. This is a MAJOR shift that if duplicated nationally can help move Key states including NJ and Pennsylvania to the McCain corner.

Previous Democratic Party candidates John Kerry and Al Gore, received 75-80% of the Jewish vote. In fact you have to go all the way back to the Jimmy Carter/Ronald Reagan election to find the Democratic candidate losing the Jewish vote on a National basis.

The internals seem to show that most Jewish voters have been paying attention to this election but don't trust Obama.

[television is just wrong]

well, he doesn’t like Israel much. Self preservation.

It depends on what kind of Jew they are. I work with a liberal Jew and she supports Obama for pro-choice stand. She said her Jewish belief is that until a child is 7 days old they are not considered a person. So the answer to when life begins is when they are 7 days old. She stated that this is not the belief of all Jews. In fact, she said if you get 5 Jews in a room, you’ll get 5 different theological views.

[proudpapa]

Jews voting for B. Hussein Obama are about as smart as chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.

[SuperSonic]

Ask her, “What percentage of abortions are performed before those seven days?”

[ccmay]

I frankly don’t believe this. Good news if true, but VERY unlikely.

[EddieUSA]

Been Jewish all my life. First time I hear that a child is not a person.

Self-preservatin would do it.
Not surpriced NY & NJ are so close.

[devere]

There’s a Jewish joke says that a fetus becomes viable when it graduates from medical school.

[Michigan CD]

"Been Jewish all my life. First time I hear that a child is not a person." I'm sure the lady who believes this is just supporting her pro-choice views by misconstruing something.

[DannyTN]

Obama could end up being a major (HUGH) mistake by the ‘rats. Especially if voting blocks that have historically been ‘rat loyal are crossing lines.

Ping.

I believe this is very likely. It is about time that people particulary Jewish people woke up to the menace the Demonrat party is to Israel and US/Israeli relations.

[Alouette]

I work with a liberal Jew and she supports Obama for pro-choice stand. She said her Jewish belief is that until a child is 7 days old they are not considered a person.

That is not Jewish belief.

I was trying to figure out why this is suddenly happening. So I went looking. Found this very liberal Jewish paper. Every political article is pro-Obama.

And smack in the middle of it is this:

Bad News for Jewish Dems: Carter Speaking At Convention

The Barack Obama presidential campaign, still fighting hard to shore up the Jewish vote (this week Daniel Shapiro, an advisor to the campaign, signed on as official Jewish outreach coordinator) can’t be entirely thrilled with today’s announcement of additional speakers for next week’s convention.

Buried in a long list of names was one certain to raise the hackles of many Jewish voters: former President Jimmy Carter.

It’s traditional to have former presidents speak at conventions; political observers point out there’s no way the Democrats could have barred Carter without a ruckus that would undermine the show of unity the party has planned.

But there’s also no way Jewish Republicans won’t spin Carter’s involvement as just about the biggest news of the convention to a pro-Israel community that, by and large, regards him as hostile to the Jewish state, and maybe anti-Semitic as well.

Having Carter on the dais will also be an unwelcome reminder of 1980, when Ronald Reagan won 39 percent of the Jewish vote in his victory against the incumbent president — a benchmark Jewish Republicans hope Sen. John McCain, their presumptive nominee, will match this year.

Carter will speak at the opening session on Monday night, which will be keynoted by Michelle Obama and feature more than a dozen other speakers. Also on the speakers list: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. whose father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, won’t get any air time at the convention — not surprising after his embarrassing open-mic comments about the man who will be the center of attention in Denver.

[I still care]

Oh, and remember there is a Israeli election right now. So Jewish security is on the voters’ minds.

Roger that. Case in point NYT columnist Thomas L. Friedman.

[Revolting cat!]

Yes, but this is happening in New York where there are more Chus than in the Shanghai phone directory!

[justiceseeker93]

Carter didn’t end up speaking at the Dem convention. Why he didn’t is anyoneone’s guess. Alan Dershowitz claimed that he successfully lobbied the Dem convention bigwigs remove Carter from the program because of his anti-Israel bias. But there could have some other reason why this happened.

[justiceseeker93]

Ping!!!

Although the result is favorable, the accuracy of the result for Jewish voters in NY is questionable because of the low sample size.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[EDINVA]

Didn’t the Dems keep Carter away from the ‘84 convention altogether ?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks justiceseeker93, good comment.

[Cicero]

It’s what you might call two straws in the wind, rather than definite evidence. The sample size is very small, but seems to show a massive shift, well beyond the large margin of error.

Plus the anecdotal evidence that Obama’s Jewish workers in Florida have reported problems lining up Jewish voters. If true, that’s extraordinary. The Miami-Dade machine doesn’t normally have such problems.

[Warning: EXTREME sarcasm alert!]

Oh I don't know. Jews should remember that Sarah Palin is a horrible anti-Semite who subscribes to such notorious Nazi-like beliefs as that the world was created by HaShem in six days, that Adam is the literal father of the entire human race, that Noah's Flood actually happened, that the languages were created at Bavel, that the Jewish Patriarchs were historical personages, that Israel was enslaved in Egypt before being led out by Moses, that King David actually existed, that there were once two Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, and that the Book of Esther describes actual historical events.

Just wait till this gets out! Sarah Palin is obviously an extreme chr*stian anti-Semite who breathes Zyclon-B gas and it antithetical to the very foundations of Judaism. No Jew wants some nut who davnens and believes in Divine Providence in office--in fact, such people should be banned from holding any office in the name of "separation of church and state" (while of course exempting people of color, non-chr*stians, and all those quaint "indigenous pipples" whose right to run the country is essential to sound secularism!).

[/End EXTREME sarcasm. Repeat--this has been EXTREME sarcasm. Anyone who doesn't understand the point I'm trying to make is a nudnik who has no business using a computer!!!]

Here is a great reason for all Jews to vote for John McCain!





Jewish America is not for Obama.

She said her Jewish belief is that until a child is 7 days old they are not considered a person. So the answer to when life begins is when they are 7 days old. She stated that this is not the belief of all Jews. In fact, she said if you get 5 Jews in a room, you’ll get 5 different theological views.

It's only the view of materialistic Jews who don't actually believe in God, sanctity of life, and the teachings of the rabbis. (sarc alert) You may want to share this: http://www.jewsforlife.org/Judaism-pro-life-message.cfm

The view of Judaism is that abortion, while not considered murder, should be strongly discouraged. While the fetus is not accorded full human status, it is still considered a developing life with value, that must be protected and saved whenever possible, unless the life of the mother is in danger. In that case, it is permissible to abort the fetus. The Mishnah Oholoth 7:6 along with Rashi's commentaries in Talmud Sanhedrin 72b make it very clear that the life (and not the 'choice' or 'health' of the mother) is the only permissible reason for abortion. Had abortion been performed in Rashi's time for birth control, convenience, or economic reasons there would have been an outcry from rabbis and the religious community and the practice would have been condemned. Under no circumstances should abortion performed for frivolous reasons be given a stamp of approval by rabbis, under the pretext of "health."

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you. (Jeremiah 1:5).

Oy vey! ... Self-hating Jews *really* hate those Zion-loving evangelicals, dont they.
