Slideshow: Pictures of the week The polls all put Jews at 2% of the poll sample.

In 2004, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry won 74% of the Jewish vote, and in 2000, Al Gore received 79%.

The MSNBC data found the numbers amongst Christians in Tuesday's election were far closer, with 45 percent of Protestants and other Christians and 54% of Catholics voting for Obama. Together, they made up 81%of the poll sample.

A lot of so called Christians and Jews went into the voting booth yesterday and bought themselves a one way ticket to hell. They are blind. The look but do not see. The have ears but do not hear.

IMHO, it seems that there is a strange aura and allure of Marxism for Jews. The Kibbutz experiment in Israel is a perfect example of that allure. I truly do not understand. It is a romance and mystification that defies logic, especially after Marxism fails again and again.

Isreal will have to hit Iran by themselves now. They can't wait four years for Conservative tidal wave that will sweep the Obamanation back into the street.

No way Obambi' going to back an Isreal attack on Iran, or lift one finger to make sure Iran doesn't get a nuke.

Hell, Russia probably dropped off a few nukes to their Iranian buds this morning. Who's gonna tell em not to?

I know several IN Israel that supported Obama. They are a sovereign nation with their own interests at heart, I’m sure. Whatever!

It is in the article — The MSNBC data found the numbers amongst Christians in Tuesday’s election were far closer, with 45 percent of Protestants and other Christians and 54% of Catholics voting for Obama

This Jew is proud to be one of the 22%

Proud bitter clinger!

When he sells Israel down the road, they will have only themselves to blame.

Jews have tremendous talents in law, medicine, business, the arts, science, and engineering - in all areas of human life except one. Their contributions to this country and and the world are staggering, but, unfortunately, Jews lack any sort of instinct for politics/government,
Although individual Jews frequently serve with distinction, I've never been able to understand this strange blindness that seems to afflict Jews as a group.
This political myopia is particularly mysterious given the fact that they are the proverbial canary in a coal mine. Just as the canary dies when the air turns foul, Jews are the first victims of political instability. Jews should have developed the sharpest political instincts of any group, but they haven't.
Sooner or later (and probably sooner) American Jews are going to face the consequences of their folly. It is unlikely that any action will be taken against them as US citizens, but that which they love - Israel - is going to be put through the wringer.
Sad, very sad.

I said the same thing last night and it was met by disbelief from some.

The more religious Jews do - the less religious Jews either say they do and ignore reality OR the don’t support.

Well, that didn't take long

Jews in ISrael have a high abortion rate, too. Their American cousins share the same suicide yearnings.

I swear these liberal Jews figure the left will not touch them thinking:
“ Look at me! I'm even more left wing than you! “
- -

The biggest group of hardcore antisemites, blame the Jews for everything are left wing bastards. I have heard this filth out of their mouths for years.
Wake up you damned fools - you vote for your own demise.
