In the last five presidential elections, the Democratic presidential nominee averaged 79 percent of the Jewish vote. However, if the recent election in New York’s Ninth Congressional District is a bellwether, those numbers could change.
This caught the attention of HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher. On his Friday program, Maher lamented the GOP gains and blamed the shift on Republicans’ belief in the Bible.
“And people might say, ‘Why are you talking about it?’” Maher said. “First of all, I’m talking about it because 42 percent of Republicans think the Bible is literally true. A fourth of them think the Antichrist might be Obama. And this stuff does infect politics. I think it infects that discussion they've been having lately about Israel. Somehow the Republicans stole the Jews.”

Thanks to the Talmud, Jews are indoctrinated from birth to be altruists and collectivists.Some are able to resist, but most won’t be able to stay away from the social justice rat party for long.
Bill who? If people would just ignore this clown, he would go away.
According to Maher he did not know his mother was a Jew until he was 13th. I wonder when he had his 1st bowl of Matzo Ball Chicken Soup?
I am not even Jewish and had my first matzo ball soup around that age, at Langer’s Deli in Los Angeles. I love it best to this day, there’s nothing like it. The one at Bristol Farms is pretty good.
Hey Bill.....they will STILL vote Democrat by 85% don’t you worry!!!
lol. Dey tok R Jews!
Maher has attempted to steal the traditional values of the Democratic Party — slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow — and plant them on Republicans.
That move didn’t work either.
Thanks martosko.
I say this with all humility. Please God, strike this asshole dead! And do it NOW!
Or more to the point and more important... no one owns ANYONE ELSE PERIOD. MAHER IS A little jerk who has no real career
They do? Where does he get that figure?
He's just a precursor, a form of antichrist. There have been many.
He's not fooling enough people to qualify as The Antichrist. He's too transparently phony. The real one will fool most of us, be it a person, cabal, or country.
And at this point the Jewish voting bloc is attempting to un-reap what the have unintentionally sown.
My grandparents were democrats, my parents were democrats, I started out a democrat. We have all seen the light.
Thanks Obama, you actually may have served a very valuable purpose in educating the electorate about tyranny and a lack of proper respect for our allies!
James Baker, who reputedly said "F... the Jews. They don't vote for us," was not "your old grandfather's Republican." Even if that purported Baker remark is true (it is merely attributed to him by no less a 'Rat partisan than Ed Koch, who certainly wasn't present at the time Baker is alleged to have said it), it should be noted that Baker was a Democrat for most of his life, and likely during "your old grandfather's" time as well. And the vast majority of even more blatant antisemitic and anti-Israel remarks and actions from American political figures, especially over the last several decades, have been made by Democrats. Republicans haven't been "stealing" Jewish votes, it's more like many Jews have determined that the Democratic Party is more acquiescent to Jew-haters in its midst.
As for Salmon Rushdie, who "disagreed that Obama is losing Jewish support and cited a recent PPP poll that supported his position," Rushdie, a resident of the UK, would be unlikely to know that PPP is just a propaganda arm of the very same Democratic Party. Any poll that comes out with a result that Obama is going to win 76 percent of the Jewish vote in Florida next year has got to be severely flawed, from an objective point of view. Given that PPP is the pollster, it's hardly surprising that this distorted result comes on the heels of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's smug statements about Florida's Jews' love of Obama.
Maybe they're just starting to come to their senses.

Well, there was that little 400 year stint as slaves in ancient Egypt...

Maybe you'd like to quote exactly where you got that idea... Other than anti-semetic web sites and books. Altruism, possibly, collectivists, absolutely not. The concept of "Tikkun Olam" (heal the world) has been bastardized by hard core leftists. There is a lot in the Jewish tradition to perform charitable acts, but it's a PERSONAL OBLIGATION, not an obligation placed on others. And it's up to the individual to decide whether to perform charitable acts or not.
The Biblical concept of "my brothers keeper" is "I am my brother's keeper," but NOT "you are my brother's keeper too."
And the statement that "Israel is a socialist, collectivist country" has NOTHING to do with being Jewish. It's because there's a long tradition of socialism and collectivism in Europe, especially among the educational elite, and that's where the majority of the founders of Israel came from.

I never knew “The Jews” were the DOP’s property or that it’s possible for the Republicans or anyone else to “steal” humans by getting them to vote for their party. The Republicans persuaded free, intelligent people to switch allegiances, the same way that both Jews and blacks began switching their traditional allegiance during the 1930s from the Republican Party to the Democrats, even though the Democratic Party was at that time the party of Jim Crow, KKK muscle to keep “those people” from the poles, and the party that looked the other way whenever there was a lynching to be done.
The fact that Bill Maher is so clueless as to why we’ve been switching that he can only say “somehow” only indicates how far gone Democrats like Bill Maher are. The fact that he regards us as the human chattels of the DOP indicates how utterly hopeless they always were.
Republicans have something to offer Jews: values that are not contrary to the letter and spirit of the Torah, the vision of America as a meritocracy rather than a mediocracy, and an attempt at genuine friendship and support for the Jewish Homeland. It is a far better offer than that which the Democrats have made: inverted, sick values, affirmative action quotas forever to ensure a level playing field for playing utterly meaningless games, and fake, manipulative bullying of the Jewish State in the name of a supposed friendship that more resembles an abusive relationship than any true alliance.
I wish that Republicans had stolen the Jews. That so many continue to support for the ‘Rat Party goes against all logic and common sense.
I could add that the Hebrew phrase "tikkun olam" (heal the world) could have thousands of possible meanings and applications. It is only used once in the entire Talmud, and that in an entirely different context compared to the one that some leftist Jews commonly use today.
Couldn't have said it any better, except perhaps to add that another "offer" of the Democrats is ObamaCare death panels, which should remind American Jews of not-so-distant European history where their government masters determined who would live and who would die.
