What I can't understand, and this question is applicable to many other voters as well:

Look at Florida. Full of elderly retired people living on investments, most of which will be affected seriously by BO’s tax plan.

Many of these elderly retired are Jews, who have been very successful during their years in business and who face the triple threat of being taxed heavily during their retirement years, seeing Israel sold out and losing the ability to pass on all of their wealth to their children.

The last of the three is no small thing, as Jews have the strongest family ties of any group I know of.

But still they are all for BO because he is a dim.

How can elderly people in general, who by that age have seen their share of con men, and Jews in particular who in general are more savvy than others, be taken in by this total fraud? The retirement community in Florida should be enough to put that state in the McCain camp, yet it will not. You can find a similar group in almost every state; farmers in the agricultural areas, hunters, heavy manufacturing, etc., all facing major changes for the worse under BO, yet they will vote for him because he is a dim or because they hate Bush. If the nation is collectively that stupid, it deserves what it gets. Those of us who know better will just have to sit in the back of the bus until the nation comes to its senses.

Florida certainly has an outsized population of retirees, but the overwhelming majority are non-Jews (like over 95% of the state’s population) and the overwhelming majority won’t be impacted by Obama’s tax increases.
