That's actually quite good for a Republican. Reagan lead with ca. 40% if I remeber correctly. Jews voting for Obama apparently suffer from the brain-damaging disease of liberal self-loathing.
“Jews voting for Obama apparently suffer from the brain-damaging disease of liberal self-loathing.”
I, too, saw these stats today and find them totally confounding. Can they not YET connect the dots with b. hussein obama/farrakhan, BHO’s resounding endorsements by Ahmedinejad, Hamas and more???
Agreed if McCain can pounce on Obama harder and harder on the issue of Israel and Obama’s Anti-Israeli picks whom he had to fire to still keep the Jewish votes, it might go up. 32% is actually bigger than the Jewish vote for President Bush. However the last time that Jews voted overwhelmingly for a Republican was Dwight David Eisenhower which I read somewhere on here.
I am, however, alone from that forefront. I think that a part of this drive to vote for Democrats is because Jews usually live in very Liberal areas, they are mostly Liberal religiously, think that the Democrats are the Party of FDR and Truman on foreign policy, and were victims(like many groups were) all the way back then. I am Jewish but I am not a Democrat. I also personally believe that the first ethnic minority to leave the Democrats should be the Jewish people. But then it seems like everybody is cozy in lockstep.
Possibly also a biggest reason why my Jewish Aunt and Uncle will not vote for a Republican is because of a fear that they will be converted to Christianity by people like President Bush. There is nothing more powerful than irrational fear.
IT was a bit more, but you are correct. IF McCain can boost his 32% to 40%, it will be a long night for Obama.
