The Jewish vote for Obama was lower than in 2008. I’ve heard it was 68 percent, about six percent lower than in 2008. That said, it was not low enough. Still, it is heading in the right direction, and it was a rare area where the Republicans picked up some votes they had missed in 2008 while depriving Obama of those same votes.

This election proves that, in general terms, Israel is not a major consideration for US Jewish voters. In contrast, Jewish American ex-patriates living in Israel overwhelmingly voted for Romney.

But forget the Jewish vote. The big problem for Romney was the Latino vote, which accounted for some 13 million votes overall. Between 75 percent-79 percent of Latinos voted for Obama; 21 percent-25 percent for Mitt Romney.

In contrast, only about 2.5 million Jews total voted in the election.

And I wonder how many of these votes were illegal aliens.

The Latinos, and for that matter the blacks, should have, on their stations, been constantly reminded and shown documentation of Obama’s immoral stands on abortion and gay marriage. On their channels they should have been shown graphic pictures of aborted babies, pictures of babies struggling in the womb and educated about partial birth abortion. This is their Achilles heel, and rightly so. They should have been told constantly that a vote for Obama was a vote against Christ. Romney should have held a clear line concerning abortion. As it is blacks were told that there wasn't any difference on this moral ground between him and Obama. For both blacks and Latinos this is the one place that we could have stirred their hearts to vote against Obama. Unlike we have been brain washed into believing the anti abortion movement needs to be much stronger and broadcasted heavily to these ethnic groups. They must be told that they must vote their conscience before Almighty God and not sell their souls for demonic what they think are perks.
