In the poll of Jewish voters (conducted April 1-30), it showed Obama getting 61% of the Jewish vote against John McCain (32%). Yet in the same poll Hillary Clinton beat Obama among Jewish voters 62% - 38%. So obviously Jews are lifelong democrats who would vote for Obama, whom they rejected in the primaries, rather than vote for McCain. Thus, for them, party loyalty is preferable to Israel loyalty.
Recently I posted two articles by Yarom Ettinger, former Israeli Ambassador to the US, The Prospects of a Palestinian State and National Interests of the United States and It’s American interests, stupid, both of which clearly demonstrate that keeping Israel strong is to keep America strong. Thus to be pro-Israel is to be pro-America. Now some would argue that most Jewish Americans are not one issue voters but they must realize that to favour a basket of issues or the Democratic Party above favouring Israel, makes them less pro-Israel and thus less pro-American. This I am sure will get howls of protest from the J-Street Lobby which represents progressive Jewry, who would have you believe that by forcing Israel to capitulate, they are acting in the best interests of Israel and the US. I hope you don't buy their thinking. These articles fly in the face of such thinking. Consider them carefully it is important.
While most Jews favour Obama in a run off with McCain because he is a Democrat, they ignore how pro-Palestinian and anti-American he is.
Let me list the ways.
- Obama said "If there is an Arab American family [in the US] being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, those are my civil liberties!"

Hussein Obama is a secret muslim. Of course he will sell out Israel if he is elected. Unfortunately, our only alternative is Captain Queeg, a mentally unstable liberal who will sell out his own party.
Those that refuse to learn from the mistakes of the past, are condemned to relive them.
Obama is not only ahead among Jews. I was looking at today’s Rasmussen poll and he leads McCain by 3%, his biggest lead in a while. Americans are buying into this guy’s empty rhetoric. I don’t think he can be beat at this point.
How much better off is Israel after the last 8 years?
Americans don’t use their heads to vote - they vote for the “feel good, look good, sound good” candidate. The road is out ahead and America has just hit the gas pedal...
“progressive Jewry”...folks who worship the govt, not g-d.
Nonsense. November is a long long time away. Dukakis was leading by like 15-18% in most major polls at this point.
There will be swooning for Obama as he’s nominated, but the general election has not yet begun and conservative 527’s are locking and loading now.
Betcha he still gets the majority of Jewish votes if he gets the nomination.
Baraq would drop Israel like he dropped cancer sticks (it might take a while, but eventually, he’d kiss ‘em good-bye). So would the hildebeeste, BTW. They would do it for the nobel prize they’d be sure to win.

I believe the large majority of polls of Jewish voters are fudged to favor the Democrats, using statistically biased techniques, since the polls are conducted by people and/or organizations that lean toward them.
Thus, to get a more accurate reading on the poll you cited, add a few points to McCain’s total and subtract a few from Obama’s.
You will see that McCain is doing rather well with Jewish voters, considering he’s a Republican. And he’ll probably pick up a good deal of the undicideds. Conversely, “Osama” Obama is doing unusually poorly for a Democrat.
I would predict right now that McCain - if he plays his cards correctly - will wind up getting at least 40% of the Jewish vote in November, a record percentage for a Republican presidential candidate in modern times. That will be more of a reflection of contempt for Obama rather than deep-seated support for McCain.

The reason Osama is ahead in polling is due to
the attention of the primary.
Don’t fret.
Ain’t it the truth! Hussein Snobama would go over to Tehran and plant a big wet one on Amadnutjob’s cheek.
When ob decides that all teachings of Christ by that mad man was all BS, he will go back to his muslim roots. How could any man not do that knowing you where taught a religion that was false? Islam will flourish in America when he is elected. Only God can decide now.
Thanks C from E.
