U.S. Democratic Jews: Choice of Ryan as VP shows Romney doesn't reflect Jewish values
Haaretz Daily ^ | August 12, 2012 | by Natasha Mozgovaya

Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as vice presidential candidate shows that the Republic presumptive nominee for president does not reflect the values of U.S. Jews, a statement by the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) said on Sunday.

On Sunday, the NJDC released a statement in response to Romney's pick of Ryan, saying the moves was the clearest indication yet that Romney does not reflect the values of most American Jews."

"Ryan's signature budget plan drew the profound concern and even ire of many in the American Jewish community because of its plans to end Medicare as we know it, slash vital social safety net programs, and increase the burden on seniors, the middle class, and the poor -- yet Romney today proudly hitched his horse to Ryan's dangerous plan," the statement added.

The NJDC also said that what named an "alarming partnership" between Romney and Ryan "will further reinforce the reasons why such a significant majority of American Jews will be voting to reelect President Barack Obama this November."

Even as Obama loots Wall St., they’ll be voting Democrat till they die. Not too bright.

What “values” of Jews would we be talking about?

Their support for communists?

Willard should have chosen Barney Frank. He has alot more in common with him than Paul Ryan.

You have to pay to read it, or at least sign in.

There is no way this pick is against Torah values. If they are saying that the pick is against what Democrats believe in, GOOD. Dems are presiding over killing the goose because the golden eggs are getting smaller.

I used to care, but I have seen enough, and I no longer give a $hit what left-wing Jews think.

re: “Ryan’s signature budget plan drew the profound concern and even ire of many in the American Jewish community because of its plans to end Medicare as we know it, slash vital social safety net programs, and increase the burden on seniors, the middle class, and the poor. . .”

Aside from the fact that the entire statment above is a total lie, just what Jewish values is this so-called “Jewish” organization defending? Governmental marxist dependency, supporting unsustainable government programs that are killing us financially and thus furthering that dependency, cutting ties to Israel, enabling Israel’s enemies to act with impunity, and disavowing Israel’s right to defend itself?? That’s what the democrat party advocates - I guess that’s what this group advocates as well.

If the Jews are upset, ............they can stay with “Recovery Summer” Joe.

...and the stated goal of wiping Israel off the face of the map by the Islamofacists (supported by King Bozo Obtuse and his Regime) supports Jewish values how?

This statement about profound concern is nonsense. The profound concern should be focused on the fiscal cliff we are facing as more and more money is being spent by Democrats without regard to need for income.

Any household, local government, or country cannot continue to spend money with no budget, print money, borrow money, and change the target for fair share to increase the burden on taxpayers.

That irresponsible strategy and policy works until we all experience economic collapse. What, me worry?

Natasha Mozgovaya does not speak for all Jews. No one elected Natasha to do anything.
After the election there will be a break down of who did what.

I can’t understand why anyone would vote for more of what that guy is serving

NJDC == A radical anti-Zionist front group.

They don’t even represent the values of most Jews who vote Democrat, let alone “Jewish values” historically understood.
