“He said that the simple reason why Jews vote for democrats is so they can tell their friends at the museum that they are cultured and progressive because they vote for democrats.”

That’s my theory, based on years of observation. If you’re Jewish, it’s expected by your peers that you will be “progressive”. Like the African-American community, where if you vote for a Republican, you are no longer “black”.

After reading the first 49 replies, I have one other observation to make. It appears that Jews, like many other liberal groups, like to be part of the majority of the in-crowd, and so they will say they are Democrats or liberals to remain in good company.

In this election, however, I sense an undercurrent among the Jewish voting population, which may yet proove that these new polls on Obama vs. McCain are skewed. If McCain is already doing better against Obama than previous GOP Presidential nominees have done, that may be a prediction of more defections to come. It is surprising to me that so many voters really do not yet have any comprehension about Obama’s background and his political philosophy, much less about his stanves on Israel, Hamas, Iran, etc..

How sad. A lot of conservatives have a problem with Gingrich but he was right when he said Obama would be the first president to be tolerant of terrorists, of extremists, of people who hate America. So when the terrorists and the bad guys are emboldened to strike, and Israel, and Jews, and all Americans, are bigger targets, will these people still support President Obama?? Wouldn’t surprise me if they do.

I think a very big reason for their liberalism, is the fact that almost every Jewish family values higher education above everything. They disproportionally go for graduate degrees where they are indoctrinated into liberalism. Most want to attend the Ivy league schools (indoctrination centers), because they are supposed to be the quickest routes to success.
