Fundamentally Freund: Oy-bama! (Jewish Support For Obama Slipping Alert)

Yes, Jews are still in the Democratic camp. But enough of them have defected so Obama is now getting just 57% of the American Jewish vote. Democratic presidential candidates usually take around 80%. So the slip in that level of support could be very significant, especially in a close election. And American Jewish voters are found in pivotal swing states like Florida.

I hope some groups slam obama on his sickening relationships w/ the race-hustlers. I don’t see jews voting for farrakhan lite. Then again, you wouldn’t think they’d side with the anti-Israel left either...

THE REASONS for this shift are not too hard to identify.

Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

Mr. Obama described the Arabic call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” Maybe to him, but to me it sounds more like an old woman with her tit caught in a wringer washing machine. Hearing that 5 times a day? It’s not going happen. Come November let’s make it NOBAMA !!

You do make a colorful point, cowgirl ~
YeeeOWCH!

I truly believe that if Obamma Lamma Ding Don called for an end to Israel or an attack on Israel by all Arab countries American Jews still would line up like lemming and pull the lever for whatever democrap is on the ballot.

The really big mystery of Judaeism is the question of why any Jew would ever vote for a demokkkrat. The last time that ever made any sense logically was back in the 1930s somewhere.

[goldstategop]

Most American Jews are liberals... not identifying Jews. Orthodox Jews do not vote for the Left.

"...now that American Jews are confronted with the stark choice between Obama and McCain, a noticeable shift has begun to take place towards the Republican contender."

Let's just hope the vast majority of Americans are "taking a closer look" at Obama and considering the "stark choice between Obama and McCain"--and will conclude--before November--that to VOTE REPUBLICAN is the only sane choice to make.

One close look at Obama and the stark choice he presents is enough to send us all screaming toward the polls to vote for justabout ANYBODY BUT OBAMA!!!!!

I agree... they are all suicide partners... voting dim for generations.

The shift in Jewish support, Hispanic support and White female support are three areas that will see tortured polling reports from the ratmedia. The numbers will be reported in ratspeak: “ Obama continues to hold a 25 point lead with Jewish voters. He is way ahead with Hispanics, with a 12 point lead. He will win the all important White female vote.” All true. All meaningless. None will be by enough.

You are both wrong. I would never vote for Obamba or any other democrat. So now what do you say, all Jews except one?

[Joe Boucher]

Surprised,
I said much the same in the past and been vilified.

[LibLieSlayer]

No, you are wrong. The “ALL” that I referred to are “ALL” American Jews that vote a straight-line ticket for dims in every election. Since I have Jewish friends, I can make this statement because those that are of a Conservative view cannot fathom why other Jews think the dims are their saviors. A friend's wife who is Jewish told me that she is voting for osamabama because “dims are the only reason Israel still exists”. How do you reason with something like that? YOU are the exception... not the rule... and Gallup backs that up.

You’re parsing; if that’s what you meant, then that is what you should have said. I never said I was the rule, I said don’t lump all Jews into voting dem, because we don’t all vote dem. Good luck to your Jewish friends.

[LibLieSlayer]

It was only “parsing” because reality did not fit your pre formed opinion. No worries and no problems with me.

[Joe Boucher]

While it is not accurate to say ALL American Jews vote Dim you can look back on the elections of the past 50 years. Break down the voting habits and you’ll certainly find that a very large majority of Jews ALways have supported the Dims. Even when the dim does not favor Israel.

[LibLieSlayer]

Hi Joe,

We two are obviously on the same frequency!
