Found this article and felt it interesting. They postulate Sarah is the cause of the Jews voting Obama; I don't believe it. If anything, Sarah did more good than harm.

One of the reasons Rush is so great is his instinctual abilty to analyze what is going on in the electorate. He's got a great gut.

They want to be rid of Sarah. Sarah has an ancestor who was Jewish. I bet Obama doesn’t.

Somebody explain this to me like I’m a six year old.

What would be a ‘educated, Jewish’ person’s objection to Sarah Palin?

I’ve got a Masters degree from the Michigan, the Harvard of the Midwest (so they like to say), but a prestigious school nonetheless.

What’s with the intelligentsia? I’m sorry, but continuing to put ELITES from either party is killing this country.

The problem with American Jews is that they just don’t care.

If radical islam wins at the end of the day, Jews will be the first to disappear.

If Israel collapses, Judaism will end up.

But Jews in America are not that religious and they really don’t care. They refused Palin’s support in a anti-Iran rally to please to Democrats, even as Iran is threatening for the next Holocaust.

Stop hoping to get the Jewish vote. American Jews doesn’t deserve to be defended.

The only Jews who really stand by the free world live in Israel. And they are firm allies of the GOP.

Great! If we had the Jews, we would have only lost 51% to
47%.

The 0bama campaign was scared to death of Palin. She represents everything they hate, and she connected with too many people. They want to blame McCains loss on her, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, until people believe it. They don’t want to see her in 012 in any capacity.

I think this is very interesting, too. I have many Jewish friends who have seen the light and vote with me! I also have many who still vote for the most liberal person on the ballot despite being business owners, successful professionals, parents, homeowners,etc that get hosed in Dem administrations. My brother is married to a Jew and although still considering himself to be Presbyterian, is liberal as heck. He is a lawyer and “argues for a living” in his words but he can never give me a straight answer on his candidates. He always tried to change the subject like “Well, what about when Bush...”. I tried and tried to get him to give me one ONE accomplishment of BHO that qualified him for POTUS and he bobbed and weaved and never did.

Limbaugh is a bag of wind! He's an apologist for the man who caused this debacle; he gushed with adoration of him despite that same man's palpable failures and his abandonment of just about ever conservative principle that Rush advanced. It is a hypocrisy akin to Newt Gingrich's immoral adulterous behavior when chastising Bill Clinton for the same thing. The man, in case any of you are still in the conservative cobwebs that he spun out, is George W(orse) Bush!

I used to support Israel. It appears that American Jews do not. So, I no longer give a flying fickle finger about Israel. They can take a flying leap.

I believe Sarah did hurt the Jewish vote. (note: I am not Jewish, so just take this has my opinion and nothing else.)

Jews have been persecuted by Christians for centuries, and have a deep seated fear of anyone that claims a strong Christian faith. There are two flavors of Christianity today as far as Jews should be concered. One they should be afraid of, and the other they shouldn’t.

Those that believe in “replacement theology” (basicly Israel has been replaced by the Chrisitan church), which constitutes the majorty of Christian denominations, can be very hostile towards Jews, and I can’t blame Jews for being afraid of them.

Evangelicals/fundamentalist/literalist on the other hand (who take the statment that God blesses those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel, and beleive that God’s promises to Israel still hold today) are not a threat to either Jews or Israel. They are in fact Israe’s (and Jews) strongest supporters.

Palin is clearly out of the evangelical camp.

The irony is that most Jews, get it backwards. They fear evangelicals the most and more liberal Christian denominations (which tend to adhere to replacement theology) the least.

I don’t blame Jews for being afraid of Christians, but it would do both sides good to do a better job of explaining which Christians are their friends and which aren’t.

I would imagine that within months Obama will have his "oven works" set up and ready to start processing his Jewish supporters.

Joke's on them.

How Jews vote will not be an issue in future elections allowed by the Obamistas.

Basically, when O-scum-a gives Jerusalem to the A-rabs or the terrorists start attacking along with Iran with nukes on Israel and Jews start to die, I want the Jews here to keep their mouths shut. They voted for him. He will do nothing about the terrorists. They are him. They are his family. They are his religion. Israel Jews supported McCain/Palin. American Jews went for O-scum-a by 78% to 22.

Believe it or not Obama has some Jewish ancestors on his mother's side. Her people were among the very earliest Europeans to migrate to North America and just everybody pops up when you look closely at the family genepool.

Now that he knows that he'll probably open a vein or two letting out the offending Jewish corpuscles.

mmmmm... OK. My experience jibes with that view. There is one notable exception... Christians seem to make Jews -- even secular Jews -- nervous. Perhaps I should have said especially secular Jews. From my perspective it seems pretty irrational.

I love Sarah (indeed, I voted for McCain only because of Sarah), but she certainly did drive away JINOs.

Orthodox Jews, who are secure in their beliefs, had no problem with her.

They have problems there with their "yutes" also leaning towards enemy ideals. They have no memory of just how viciously their people have been treated in the past by the arabs.
JEW YUTE: "Can't we all jusrt get along?
BLOODTHIRSTY ARAB:"Oh, Yes We Can!, just please open borders wide enough for exploding trucks and we will get along famously....(allah akbar)"

“Liberals and Democrats are Democrats and liberals first. That’s the only explanation for this,” said Limbaugh, adding, “And no matter what you tell them factually, they’re going to reject it because their attachment to all their things politically are actually emotional.”

It is called "brand loyalty"which makes no sense ---but it exists

Liberal American Jews are suicidal, masochistic, painfully stupid, or all three. When their dear leader sends them off to their deaths in exchange for not Ahmadinejad not nuking NYC or LA, I will not defend them. I will defend the 22% who saw through this, though.
