“Why would that be truer for Jewish people than hard working, honest, patriotic Americans of any religion?”
It’s a strong line, but Jews are generally well-educated and have all the access they need to fully assess Obama. So they have no excuses. Blacks I can forgive in 2008, easily, as they’ve waited hundreds of years for that moment (Marxist or not)...as to 2012, their vote is still in their interest and makes strictly from a pocketbook perspective (i.e., Republicans will cut off welfare checks). Hispanics, in large part, get their news from Spanish language media and who the hell knows what’s being written about us there...so seeing them lean liberal makes some sense. Gays make sense, of course, in how they vote.
It is simply next to impossible to figure out Jews though...especially given the way they are DESPISED by this administration.

And you aren’t? So I think it as stretch, but I hear you. I’ve seen a lot of Jewish conservatives try to explain it - none convincingly.
