Will Paul get fellow nazi David Duke to lead his Jewish outreach program?

[editor-surveyor]

Yawn!

Paul is going nowhere.

Palin on the other hand has a close personal friendship with the conservative Israeli leadership.

Even if not a factor, I can’t tell from the article why Jews would reject Gov. Palin.

And I still don’t know why any Jew would support barry, who clearly wants to finish through the back door what Hitler started: the end of Jews, starting with Israel.

majority of US jews are socialists who tend to vote Democrats, just like the black population, so its not surprising if US jews vote against Palin. It got nothing to do with their religion or skin color, but their economic ideology

Maybe there are just a lot of folks who don’t like her.

Religion or Ideology or Class be damned.

Can you accept the fact that maybe Her Highness isn’t universally liked?

Seems like over-analysis.

Jews naturally associate public Christianity with anti-Semitism. It’s not personal. Right or wrong, Ron Paul is portrayed as much more secular in outlook than Sarah Palin.

And Jews are likely to see a certain amount of anti-Semitism in any non-Jewish culture. So the preference for Democrats may just be because Jews are numerous and influential there despite obvious anti-Semitism, while Jewish Republicans are still relatively rare.

Palin went out of her way to show utter support for Israel. This article is only talking about liberal Jews who wouldn’t vote McCain because of palin. They must be liberals first, economic repubs second. A true conservative Jew would have known that palin was mre on outside than the majority of our coreligionists.

Paul is an anti-Semite. If he wins Iowa, Jews will stay away from that state.

Is it true that Paul converted to Islam? I’ve heard that rumor, and sometimes his policy seems to be in line with that. Didn’t he say something like Christians deserved to be killed by Muslims?

Let's face it: the author of the posted piece is obviously a Jewish 'Rat, faced with the likelihood that his candidate Obama will be losing a lot of Jewish support come next November, and looking for a ray of hope in the slim possibility that Ron Paul wins the Iowa GOP caucuses (with around 20% at most of the total Iowa vote).

Even if that happens, Paul will not be the GOP candidate in November. It will be a pro-Israel Republican vs. the pro-Islamist Obama (with the possibility of Paul and/or Donald Trump and/or several others as third party candidates). What's more, the GOP platform will be decidedly more supportive of Israel's security than that of the Democrats, as it has been for several election cycles.

So any Jewish or pro-Israel voter who is not addicted to the label "Democrat" has no logical reason to even think of Ron Paul when he or she votes Republican for POTUS next year.

Sorry, Shmuel Rosner, your article is based upon what you dream will happen, not on political reality. So you're making a big to-do over next to nothing.

We need to realize that speaking of Jesus may score points with our SoCons, but does tend to drive Jews away.

The morals may be exactly the same, the source may be the same, but the simple act of saying Jesus tends to drive non-Republicans Jews away (ie: independents, as you ain’t going to pry many Democrats away from their party).

Maybe if candidates talked about the morals without mentioning the messagers, it might be more effective?

Or for that matter, simply talk about the fiscal and economic policies and leave the social bits out of the campaign?
