Why Do Jews Not Vote For Republicans?

Lets be honest.
Liberal JEws are not rational. They are hysterical, many in the original sense of the word.

I have many Jewish friends, and ALL of them are Dims. I will never stop being amazed at how they seem to hug terrorists into submission.

The Jews who won't vote for Romney because he declared at the Ford birthplace will vote for this instead. Mazel tov!

"These things take decades to change"
Another Holocaust overseen by the dem-o-rats and their terrorist allies might change their minds. Even that would be doubtful.

[Disambiguator]

These guys get it.

When you look at who have been the strongest supporters of a Jewish state, the large support by this nation's Jews of democrats is most puzzling.

I have many Jewish family members, and ALL of them are Republicans.

I have many Jewish in-laws, too, and ALL of them are Democrats.

The differnece? My family has been in Texas for a long, long time, and are generally Sephardic and deeply religious.

My in-laws are not deeply religious --- indeed secular -- and are largely intermarried (indeed, my wife's mother is a nominal convert post-birth, making my wife a gentile), and are all urban dwellers --- LA, Houston, New York.

The Republicans saved Israel in 1973 ..... if it wasn't for Nixon they'd be gone or practically nonexistent .... if Carter was in during that time he would have sent arms to the Palestinians .....

The other reason so many Jews vote reflexively and exclusively Democrat is because it’s a tribal thing. Their grandparents voted only for Democrats. So too their parents. Many of today’s Jews are going to do the same thing.

You know, it funny. The Democrats haven't really supported Israel since Bobby Kennedy was killed by a Muslim terrorist.

Since the 60s cowardice has become the core principal of the Democratic Party. At first, they were just afraid to go fight for their country. Then they got to the point where they started exhibiting Stockholm Syndrome, and claimed that the evil enemy was really good.

They've progressed to the point where they are even afraid to let volunteer heros go fight for them, and they continue to support America's enemies. America's Jews are mostly an extreme example of this, where they support a party which is home to many anti-Semites, and openly supports a group which wants all Jews dead.

God only knows!

[trumandogz]

The last statistic i saw was that 85% of Jews voted Democrat.

[Signalman]

Many of us have seen the light. A small list of the more notable ones:

John Podhoretz
Michael Savage
Ken Mehlman
Michael Medved
Jonah Goldberg
David Horowitz
Ben Stein

There are many, many more.

Because they have a death wish and are self-hating.

A few months ago during the Israel/Hezbollah war there was a pro-Israel rally in New York. Eli Weitzel (so sorry if I spelled his name wrong) spoke and said he was very glad that Bush was in office at this time. Hillary was standing right behind him on the stage.

I'm thinking he probably understands who really supports the Jews.

"They are too busy organizing all the wars that the world's fighting!"

[majormaturity]

It stems from this: Most Jews have a good memory of oppression. They associate Dems with liberal defense, so they vote Dem in the belief that Dems will support freedom of association & religion more than Republicans. The truth is that Republicans are more sympathetic to individual freedom than Dems, but Dems get out there and support abortion ("freedom" of choice), knock government (I hate Bush), and offer women candidates (Hillary), which the Jews like. The truth be known, the Jews would be better off with Republicans than Dems, especially in light of recent (30-year)history.

[BerryDingle]

I agree. Also liberalism is worshipped as part of their religion and they know anti-semitsm is perfectly safe because the Democratic party never does what they say. If any action from anti-semitsm were started, that would horrify them, but they would still have to see it first.

[Free ThinkerNY]

Mass stupidity.
