>He’s still going to get 75% of the Jewish vote...<
BINGO! 80% actually. being a Dummycrap and a Joo is as synonymous as turd and Obama.
American jews hate Israel. Plain and simple. I deal with jews all the time here in L.A. and they are proud Democraps.
The rise of anti-semitism on the left has been obvious for the last 20 years. It's become so accepted on the left that it's a mainstream position (Dick Morris quit working for the Clintons and the left over anti-semitic remarks made by Hillary, and that was in the '90s).
Do they think the left will differntiate between "Isreali Jews" and "Ameican liberal Jews"? They won't. Plenty of Jews that fought for Germany in WW-I ended up in concentration camps under the Nazis. It didn't matter that they were loyal to Germany, all that mattered is they were Jews.
I don't understand why American Jews aren't terrorfied of the rise of anti-semitism on the left. It's becomming institutionalized in the Democratic party as a pro-palestine/anti-Israel position, but what's driving it is emotion: a deep down, hard core, hatred of Jews.
Obviously most are Democrats, but that doesn't automatically translate into hating Israel. Far from it. It's just that liberal Jews love their liberalism more than they care about Israel. Liberalism is their priority -- their religion. I suspect I know far more American Jews (both liberal and conservative) than you do, being Jewish and from L.A. myself. Every last one of them supports Israel -- it's just a matter of degree.
Several lifelong Dem Jewish acquaintances of mine have become Republicans in the last year out of exasperation over Hussein Obama's policies toward Israel. Wouldn't surprise me if the Kenyan gets the lowest percentage of the Jewish since Carter (45%) in 1980. A lot can happen between now and Nov. '12, but I predict Hussein will get no more than 60% (down from 78% in '08). But it's far more than the percentages, is the money. His coffers will be decidedly lighter.
