[MAD-AS-HELL]

This is an opinion piece based off of faulty polling. Do you really think that life long socialists that also happen to be Jewish are just waking up one day and saying, “Oy Vey, I don’t want to be a democrat anymore so I think I’ll go vote Republican!” Not so fast my friend. The issue might be that many of the leftist brain dead Jews are PO’d that Obama is not sticking to his campaign rhetoric as they want someone who really will walk the leftist socialist line on all fronts. Obama has walked some but has deviated from others to their chagrin.

I read it, looked at the charts and realized it’s an opinion pice. It remains good news, answered prayers and of course old, Left-wing Jewish people will continue to vote democrat, but not for Obama.

Yes, it is happening. The moves are taking place with Orthodox and Reformed Jews. Liberal Jews play at being Jewish, JINO’s or as I call them, JIFO - Jews in Food Only. Eating bagels does not a Jew make and for many liberal Jews, that is as close as they come to practicing their faith.

There’s two reasons for this shift. First, many more Jews are returning to Temple with many moving to more conservative sides of Judaism. Combine that with support for Israel and fear of Iran and they simply can not support an administration that has proven itself to be pro-terrorist, anti-Israel.

Obama will get at least 40% of the Jewish vote. 20% are Republican, 40% Democrats or socialists, and 40% are liberal leaning independents. It is the last group that is shifting.
Even liberal independents do learn. Giulliani and Bloomberg have both carried the Jewish vote in 1993, 97, 2001, 2005 and 2009. In 1997 and 2001 it was against Jewish Democrat candidates.
