American Jews hate the Christian GOP.

Communist democrats are anti-Christian as well, the 2 groups have a mutual interest.

Because Liberalism is a mental disorder, and Jews are as subject to infection as others. I say that as a Jew now very happily living in the free state of Texas, away from the gun-grabbing, regulation-loving tax ghouls in my (former) home state of NJ. Many of my relatives are infected, but some (like 2 of my uncles) have been cured.

Hillary Clinton Kisses Mrs. Arafat's wife.

So I suppose by the logic of the article the symbolism of speaking in the Ford Museum is more important then the fact that Hillary was smooching the wife of a multi millionaire terrorist, a man sworn to the annihilation of Israel?

'American Jews hate the Christian GOP."

And the "Christian GOP" has been the best friend Israel has EVER had....

It could be argued further that Liberal Jews have been among the biggest enemies Israel has ever had. At least they vote with Israel's enemies.

Go figure. (At least it seems Joe Lieberman has).

In short, the Republicans are not just our kind of people, many Jews say. They don't sound like us, they don't talk like us and they don't understand us.

There's nothing to understand. Its the block mentality moron vote, just like the black vote. Both side with Democraps. Democraps are the instigators of racism, anti semitism, the Klan and support everything Israel is against. Both together are a large voting block....an incredible stupid voting block. Its like being black for the Klan and Jews for Nazi's!

"Why So Few Jews Vote for Republicans"

Simple.

Most Jews are urban-dwellers.

Most urban-dwellers vote Democrat.

Religion's got nothing to do with it.

The author juxtaposed some ordinary facts and statistics with far left-wing victim fetishing. She pretended there is a narrative that encompasses both. ABC published this piece because the result is pretty good anti-GOP propaganda.

American Jews hate the Christian GOP.

Jews hate Christians and Republicans, and love Democrats. Democrats love Islamics, and hate Christians and Republicans. Islamics hate Christians and Republicans, and really hate Jews, enough to want them all dead. What do they all have in common? They all hate Christians and Republicans. This actually makes sense for Islamists, in a way, but Jews must have a death wish, because after the Christians and Republicans are defeated, the Democrats will be no help to the Jews.

So, long story short, Romney's a Nazi, according to this RAT?

"Jews are wealthier and more educated than the average American"

Yet they are bent on suicide as a group by voting for their enemies...

If the Jewish people knew anything about WWII and FDR they would never vote for a RAT. Of course, if blacks knew anything about the history of slavery and the RATs, they would never vote for a RAT. And yet both do.

After having an Israeli girlfriend for almost 4 years (she's not political) I have an idea why:

Most of the Jewish people I've met aren't much different than the run of the mill average media influenced voter. They go along with what the "elite" and the "intellectuals" "think". Actually the only friends she had that really knew anything about politics were VERY conservative, her one friend has been a confidant and worked closely with Bibi forever.

The rest of them can only parrot the same ridiculous hack arguments you always hear, no depth of political thought whatsoever, even though they're successfull and good at what THEY know. There is also a component of having Republicans called "Nazis" for about 30 years that doesn't help. The Christian "right" they either believe or have been told that Jews are going to hell.

Lastly, it seems that except for the Hasidics the democrat Jewish voter if religious at all belongs to a "reform" synagogue, the only difference in the philosophy and thought from let's say an Al Sharpton rally in thier view of Republicans is the color of their skin.

This religioius phenomenom is becoming more popular in churches of all denominations. Jesus would have loved everyone and been a multiculturalist, communal living hippie if he were around today. Love of money is the root of all evil, except they leave out the "Love of" part. It's a VERY liberal philosophy, one that the left encourages, a religion where there are no moral absolutes, no judgements, etc.

Your point is very cynical, but unfortunately probably has a lot of truth to it.

Because we live in America most of what we do is still relatively unregulated ... at least compared to the rest of the world. So people still go around their everyday lives thinking more about what they and their families and their friends and their companies can do to better their lives.

Candidates and parties are still viewed as these abstract figures floating in the distance that may or may not have some real impact on their lives.

So people continue to vote, not their pocketbooks, but their guts as to who they feel more comfortable having a beer with.

City folks prefer seemingly erudite and urban Democrats.

It would be interesting to compare the votes of urban Jews, to suburban Jews, to rural Jews and see if there is any difference in voting patterns.

The whole thing does not make any sense. Even in Israel a large chunk of the population believes in the whole two state theory. They are PC towards the pali's even though the pali's have gone back on every agreement they have made with Israel..

So they completely ignore the realities there too. I have never figured it out.

The reason is simple:

Liberal American Jews are Liberals before they are Americans, and before they are Jews.

Liberalism takes precedence over anything else.

I've got two liberal Jewish friends I sometimes discuss this with. Intellectual purpose means a lot to the two of them, more than even self-interest. The more moderate of the two does feel conflicted about this, but even the leftier one knows it's screwed up. Still, they're not going to change.

For what it's worth, I can understand it; if you see it as an integrity issue, anyone can understand it. I just think it's crazy. When we talk politics, we respect each other's beliefs because we're friends, but sometimes I pick up a little "no, you're OK, but those other guys ..."

And, in fairness, that's how I sometimes feel about them, so around and around we go. Sigh.

History has the tendency to repeat itself. The way the United States is going, it will repeat the way of the Fall of the Roman Empire.

The way the world is going right now, another Hitler will reemerge and repeat the times of the Jewish massacre in the death camps of WWII Germany. Only this time, it will be the death of all non-muslims by the hands of muslims to fulfill the prophecy of a nut case, Allah. The Jewish lawyers crowd the offices of the ACLU and fight with everything they can use to keep criminals on the streets, illegal aliens inside our borders, no weapons in our homes to protect ourselves and mostly, take God out of every public institution. What kind of people can witness the worst genocide of their own people and then seem to want a repeat of it?? Maybe some other people in FR can give a clue, a reason or even an answer.

Most Liberals I talk to vote like they are rooting for their favorite sports team.

They don't know jack about economics or history - they just want to be on the side of the winner.
