I would guess Jews are close to 90% Liberal Democrat.

Not quite, razzle. There are quite a number of Jews who are Republicans and the number is growing. If W got at least 25% of the Jewish vote in '04 (admittedly he deserved to get a lot more), your numbers don't quite add up. Furthermore, Ronald Reagan got something close to 40% among Jews in 1980, and I doubt if too many of those came from "Liberal Democrats."

When ChessMaster said, "Jews have the same split as do Christians," I would think that he was making a qualitative, rather than quantitative, statement.

As for your statement "Christians are at least 60% Conservative Republican," the accuracy of that would depend on whether you are using a narrower or broader definition of "Christian."

Well, yes you may be right, but allow me to expand.

Let’s look at this from a worldwide perspective. Jews have participated both in free market and communist countries. But so have Christians and ex-Christians. For most of western civilization, Jewish and historically Christian people are the religious right. But in each case, many have succumbed to the allures of the atheistic left, specifically communism.

In America, Jews are liberal. Liberal does not equal communist. (But I do think that American communists are one of the Democratic party’s voting blocks.). Dennis Prager’s articles have convinced me that Jews were traumatized by the German Jewish Holocaust (one of many 20th century holocausts) and now fear the religious right. I’m convinced that they are confused and mistaken. Some religious Jews are coming around to see that they have a lot in common with American Christians. Jerry Fallwell is just one Christian who believes that Christians have a lot in common with Jews.

You should not count your 90% percentage of Jews as liberal Democrats.
That is unless you are using New York City as your model where original thinking is not permitted or the US as a whole.

The Jews in Israel are most certainly not Liberal Democrats. And they are the Jews who count the most, because they will fight for their survival.
