and Obama will STILL get the Jewish vote in the next election!

Other than perhaps Florida, the Jewish vote by itself isn't likely to be the decisive factor in any state in the next presidential election, barring some very close state races. That's because there are so few Jewish voters in terms of percentage of the total.

For what it's worth, Obama's reputed 78% percent of the Jewish vote nationally (probably more like 70% due to poor polling technique) in 2008 will be cut down to something between 50 and 60% in 2012. (In Israel, American Jews abroad voted about 3 to 1 against Obama in 2008.) And, perhaps more importantly, contributions by Jewish 'Rat fat cats are said to be down for the 2012 cycle.

Rush Limbaugh was talking about the Jewish vote in the face of Obama's abrasive relationship with Israel on his radio show today.

As a Jewish Republican, I too have long been frustrated by the irrational, self-defeating, political behavior of too many Jews in the United States. Things are changing slowly though in our direction. Remember that addictions (political as well as chemical) are tough to break.

As you know, Jews are not the only group these terrorists want to destroy in the ME. I would think Christians here in the USA would be taking note of what is going on in the ME with regards to Christians. Like it or not, Americans better face up to the fact that we are all the enemies of the Muslim fanatics wherever they reside including here in the USA.

Many watched Hitler come to power and ignored the warnings until they were shipped to extermination camps. Every American citizen better take note of what is happening in the Middle East for it has implications for us right where we live.

Sadly, too many Liberals and useful idiots have forgotten 9/11. Choosing to ignore one’s enemies could get you killed.

Members of the US Congress would be wise to re-read their history books just in case they don’t understand the implications of allowing morons to run our foreign policy.

Jews who practice Judaism, do not vote for Democrats!

Tonight is going to be very interesting. We will see which way the wind blows but judging from the back chatter folks are in shock at the moment... judging from the response this is a lead balloon, but who knows.. we will see.

According to The Hill, “The lawmakers met privately ... with nearly 80 Jewish interest groups to make their case. Although Jews make up slightly more than 2 percent of all Americans, they have played a wider political role for both demographic and financial reasons. Jews are concentrated in such battleground states as Florida and Ohio. In the era of soft money, an estimated 50 to 70 percent of large contributions to the Democratic Party and allied political units came from Jewish donors. While President Bush won only 19 percent of the Jewish vote in 2000, Republican candidates garnered 35 percent of the Jewish vote in 2002.”

Candidates Vie for Jewish Support by Embracing Israeli Government Policies

I remember that Jimmy Carter won less than a majority of the Jewish vote in 1980. I hope history repeats itself with Obama.

Jewish voters are largely located in states that vote Democrat. So I agree, it would take a dramatic shift to make a dent in then outcome of the electoral college.

It is also a mistake to think of Jews as a block for Israel. They are not Israelis, they are Americans and they vote based on interests that effect them and the country as Americans. I disagree with most of them, but it is what it is. We have to try to change their minds with reason.

In the meantime, what really needs to happen is for the Jewish vote to throw its weight towards Republican candidates for other offices. Getting rid of the Waxman’s and Schumers would be far more effective - even wrt Israel - because with these guys gone there would be less cover for any Democratic president of the future. It would also be a fitting way to punish the President, by hurting his party and dividing it.

Maybe Obama doesn't believe he can win anyway (in a next election), so he has nothing to lose... yet, he is still effected/infected by the [virus of appeasing radical] Islamic studies from his childhood, that's where his “heart” draws to.
