[Rabin]

The survey, conducted among 1,004 American Jews by the Washington-based Public Religion Research Institute, found that Obama has the same level of support, 62 percent, among American Jewish voters as during a comparable point in the 2008 race.

Obama administration is blaming Israel for the recent rise in global crude oil prices. The rise in fuel prices is deemed as harming the U.S. economy and has also hurt Obama in the polls

Of Jews who supported Obama in 2008, an overwhelming majority, 86 percent, say they would like to see him re-elected

While it is common to the point of standard for 0 to sell out on an allly, the ods on American jews sell out Isreal are better than 8 to 1.

Rab.

They don’t think that what is happening in Israel could ever happen here. They’re not very bright. The Muzzies are coming in numbers and Obama is the doorman.

[Clintonfatigued]

This isn’t surprising, but I think that if Republicans play their cards right, they can win a larger share than they usually do.

Perhaps Congressman Eric Cantor would be a good choice for Vice President.

[loveitor..]

People hate to admit when they're wrong. Pride before a huge fall for American Jews on their traitorous betrayal of the Israelis.

The destruction of America trumps survival of Israel?

[max americana]

I’ve said it before: American Joos’ hate Israel. Never met a Jew here in L.A. who is a Pubbie’.

[Noob1999]

I’ve never understood why the American Jewish population would vote Democrat!

The RATS have screwed them over so many times, and now Zer0 is in an open fight with Isreal about the control of the mid-east.

If any population knows about excessive government power, certainly it is the European Jews, with tatoos on their arms, overjoyed to escape with their lives - pining for their murdered loved ones.

They vote for the socialist Rats, they drive Mercedes Benz, so who can figure them out!

If you’re Jewish, please respond to help me understand what’s up with the Jewish mindset. I just don’t understand.

Thanks.

I freely admit that the dynamic behind US Jewish support of Marxist Obama is totally lost on me.

All the libs that I know (and I live in California, so I know zillions) seem to hate (or not like with passion) Israel. (I don't understand that dynamic, either.)

I heard Medved talk about this once, and IIRC it was more of a political habit than an informed opinion. That said, thinking and observant people can, and should "think" and "observe".

I’m not Jewish, but I can tell you....

For a majority of American Jews, liberalism is far more important than Judaism.

Their love of liberalism is greater than their love for the State of Israel. It’s sad and unfortunate.

Fortunately, not all American Jews feel this way.

The 2012 Jewish Values Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute among a random sample of 1,004 self-identified Jewish adults (ages 18 and older) who are part of the Knowledge Networks’ KnowledgePanel. Interviews were conducted online between February 23 and March 5, 2012.

Huh?

[Mortrey]

I gave up on listening to Michael Medved.
His explanation for the Jewish vote is that they are always for the “under dog”, because THEY can relate.

Funny...I always gave Jews more respect for intellect than what Medved does.

I have “Jewish” relatives by marriage—some have lost businesses during this depression. Some also voted for the anti-semite in office.

Bitter pill, that. But...have they learned anything?

I'm too weary of the entire domestic Jewish 'Stockholm Syndrome' to even revisit the issue. While the core motivations may be somewhat different, Jews voting for any candidate to the furthest left of the spectrum is no different than blacks doing the same. If Obama came out tomorrow and admitted to the planet as to what he truly was - an anti-Semitic, anti-American, pro-Muzzie, neo-Communist black militant, a full 80% of black and Jewish America would still follow that Godless stack of human garbage into the abyss, and happily take their neighbors with them. Know thy enemy.

I want my foreskin back.

[SaraJohnson]

There’s a real shocker! Not.

[Viking2002]

I used to date a Jewish girl in D.C., and I got the same evasive, obtuse bullshit. Like anyone of the Left, they need someone to tell them what to believe in and what to stand for. They truly ARE sheep. Or, more accurately, zombified drones working for the good of the collective hive.

I looked at the voting history going back about 100 years.

Historically they go for the Democrat, the Progressive, the Socialist. At times they voted in a 90% block (FDR, LBJ).

Reagan was able to make huge gains over Ford. He got nearly 40% against Carter, that hadn't happened since Ike and no GOP candidate got over 40% of the Jewish vote since 1920. Reagan's gains evaporated by the time Bush ran against Clinton.

1920 was also the only time a Republican won a plurality of the Jewish vote. That was because of a three way race with a Democrat and a Socialist splitting the vote.

Why American Jews Vote so Liberal and Why They Shouldn’t

They’ll support him right to the gas chambers.
