Interesting that a Jewish group is more concerned with the results of a poll than which candidate would be best for the group's interests.

They think that voting for Kerry is in their interest. One reason that Jews prefer the Democrats is that they are the most socially leftist ethnic group in America: they are more concerned about legal abortion than Israel.

Quite frankly, anyone who resides in America should be more concerned about what goes on this country than in any other -- otherwise, more there.

I think the 'Jewish vote' is a misnomer. There are three seperate 'Jewish blocks' Orthodox Jews will support GWB over JFK, and they will do so because of their religious dedication to Israel. The moderate practicing Jews will split their votes; some care more about Israel, some care more about their leftism. The issue is that the biggest block are the essentially atheist non-practicing Jews whose real religion is socialism/communism. This groups is disproportionately large in the Jewish Community. They will unanimously support Kerry; in fact this group has an sharp animosity towards Israel. They want it destroyed, because Israel's continued existance is a refutation of their socialist religion.

And I say all this as an atheist myself. It is just that my atheism is not driven by a service to evil socialism.

"One reason that Jews prefer the Democrats is that they are the most socially leftist ethnic group in America".

How many dead Jews from the ravages of Socialism, Communism, Nazism, Collectivism, and all of the other socially leftist "isms" that have afflicted the World in the 19th and 20th Centuries?

Time for a reappraisal it seems to me.
