There were way more than 20 of us there, satisfying the requirement of the central limit theorem for statistical reliability.I suspect the way the sample was selected may not have been random.

Interesting report, thanks.

And now from the Irish Catholic Veteran community on FR. There may be one mutant somewhere in my extended family but McCain will be getting about 100 votes from the extended clan.
I'm glad to hear some of our fellow Israel supporters are joining us. :-}

This is great news. It is long overdue that all those of the Jewish faith come on over to the party that has stood by Israel unwaveringly and will never allow a partition of Jerusalem.

(Barack Hussein Obama brings change... he changes his position every five minutes.)
To: pabianice
Posted this comment on another thread about a conversation I had last night with a friend in South America. Hope you don't mind the double post but does run in sync with what your saying.
POST:
Friend of mine called last night from down in South America where he owns a large cattle ranch.
He has a vacation home in Montauk, New York and belongs to several different Jewish groups in that area.
When we discussed politics this staunch Democrat became livid that Palin had been disinvited.
He said that this year he and most of his mainly Democrat friends would be voting for McCain because he could not stomach the thought of of a radical inexperienced candidate like 0bama sitting as POTUS.
BTW: his wife has never voted for a Republican but this year she is supporting McCain Palin.
The poll's scare me but maybe many folks are like him and just doing the Bradley Affect.

To: pabianice
re: Palestinians... there is only one solution, and I have been advocating that for many years: Buy them an Island. They have proven they are not good neighbors (nice way of putting it) and nobody wants them so lets put them somewhere nice and quiet and isolated where it will be harder for them to cause harm to the rest of the world. I think its a great idea.

Did anybody discuss the “uninviting” of Palin at the anti-Ahmadinejad rally in NYC?

I hope people go to the polls and vote for somebody though, since it appears Obama for America and ACORN are registering people without them knowing it and stealing their identity...ie, you may be on record voting for Obama even if you don’t go to the polls.

(McCain/Palin FTW)
To: pabianice
I have a few Jewish friends who usually vote democrat. (I could never understand this, but anyways..)
This year each and every one has either indicated that they are backing McCain.
As one friend explained, a Jew voting for B. Hussein Obama is about as smart as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

(McCain - Palin'08)
To: pabianice
I will tell you something, here where i live, somewhere in Quebec, we have a strong Jewish community...and without a doubt, my relatives (mixture of Liberals and conservatives)if they were able to vote in the USA the trend would be towards McCain - This doesn't mean much, but maybe, just maybe some Jews might see the light (not the rabid Liberal ones) but the more moderates (if they exist)
But we could never understand why Jews vote the way they do...Just don't get it????
I wonder how many American Jews looking here on FR are undecided, would be curious....
To: livius

:::::::::::::
There must obviously be a wide range of opinion and strength in the Jewish community at large. They were probably too embarassed to discuss it....I would be if I were a Jew.

Can you tell us whether everyone voted for Kerry and Gore in 2004, and 2000? That would be interesting to know.

I can only hope your observation has validity beyond your family gathering and into the community at large

Someone needs to post a report from Rockville, Md., to see where things are headed.

The first statement show a well thought out reasoned reason not to vote for nObama and then a tosser to make it sound like a racial thing. The Brady Effect is in no way "like" the gentleman quoted. I do not want to be combative but I want to see if you understand that what your friend said is not related to the BE and should stand alone as a good talking point.

Pabiance, thanks for the encouraging anecdote. I too live in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, and I there are more McCain-Palin supporters up here than people might think. Not enough to move the state into the red column on November 4th, but...there are some.
If you see this bumpersticker on Rt. 128, give me a honk and a wave (with an open hand facing out, of course, so I can tell the difference from the other kind...:)

And by the way...thanks for your service!

(Who is Saul Alinsky and why is Barack Obama a disciple of his methods?)
To: AndyTheBear
Mazel Tov! There is hope for my Jewish Brothers and Sisters.
I really get mad when I hear people make the Bush - Hitler compairson. Bush had guts to prevent another Hitler. Getting rid of Hussien freed 75,000,000 Iraqi’s.
Maybe freedom was not right for them but he got rid of a Cancer.
If your ever in DC. Take a few hours and visit the Holocaust Museum. You will learn that had the US and the world delt with Hitler in 1938 the the world would have been a much better place today.
Iran is a festering sore. It needs to be resolved or another Hitler is waiting to destroy the world.
