Ford got 27% in 1976, Reagan got 39% of the Jewish vote in 1980, and 31% in the landslide of 1984.

More proof that Jews know very well how they are voting.

They aren't merely a reliable voting bloc for Democrats. They are its driving force. They have been driving the D party leftward for decades to where it is now.

Jews are only three percent of the US population, but they are grossly overrepresented in democrat leadership. Senior jewish senators are the spokesmen and posterboys for every leftist policy the democrats hold dear, particularly abortion and gun prohibition.

Because they think they deserve persecution so they vote against their own interests?

Is there any other group that lives in urban areas at such a high rate as Jews? And if so, are any less liberal? Maybe it’s just a question of why they tend to live there. Is there any difference between how rural living Jews tend to vote and urban living Jews tend to vote like in the split between rural and urban voters in the general voting population?

Jacob Javits was a Rockefeller Republican. A liberal.

Honestly, I think it's cultural.

Outside the Orthodox, I've met many Jews who are atheists.

When I was in college, one Jewish guy told me that at least 50% of Jews are atheist.

And being so, they don't care about anything but "making the world a better place" during this lifetime. Since they don't believe in anything after this life.

Of course I believe that any of their liberal "solutions" actually do nothing but harm people.

And yes, being Jewish does NOT equal being pro-Israel.

The liberal position is anti-Israel, so sadly many Jews don't really seem to grasp just why Israel is important.

Being PC is the most important thing.
