I can certainly believe this of the Orthodox Jewish community. I will never understand their past support for Hillary Clinton, though.

In that case, the Klintonistas got to one highly influential rabbi and basically bribed him with the idea of state supprt for his supporters’ schools. Shame on him for giving in to the temptation.

This article explains it.

The Orthodox Jewish community will vote for Romney much more decisively than this 44-40, but they are only perhaps 10-15 percent of the American Jewish electorate.

As for the alleged Orthodox Jewish past support for Hillary Clinton, I think you are referring to an isolated incident where one Hasidic community in Rockland County, NY voted almost unanimously for "Her Royal Thighness" when she ran for US Senate. You have to realize that these insular Hasidic communities are small segments of the Orthodox Jewish community, and have a pattern and historic custom of acting in unison according to the wishes of their community rabbi who, amongst his other functions, mediates various interactions of his community with the outside world. In the Hillary Clinton case, IIRC, the near unanimous vote of the particular Hasidic community for her was a payback for a pardon she had assisted in obtaining for one of the community's members.
