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."

But in the Greater New York Metropolitan area you have a concentration of Medical Teaching Universities and Jewish people, so they imagine something about the distribution of ethnicity in the medical community that's not actually true throughout the nation.
Simple math tells you that the impact will fall heavily on Jewish doctors in that area. But in the nation as a whole it's not going to be seeming to target any particular group.
These people support Obama or any leftist that the DNC puts up. If the GOP put up a conservative Jew these people wouldnt vote for him because he isnt Jewish enough.
And these liberal Jews are going to vote for a closest Muslim. Kind of like “Jews for Hitler”.
By that they mean LIBERAL Jews who are wedded to the Democrat Party, no matter HOW the leaders of that Party treat Israel. Most of them won't vote for a Republican, no matter WHO it is, or who that person chooses as a VP.
What a bunch of ignorant tools. I am officially embarassed for my fellow Jews who speak and/or think this way.
First of all, in an aspirational rush to make some sort of relevant comment on a piece of news that is perhaps 48 hours old about someone they know so little about, they reveal themselves to be ignoramuses. This is foundational to the exceptionally poor quality of their argumentation, and it’s seriously annoying, to me.
Second of all, the very idea that there is one set of common “Jewish ideals” is flat out stupid. It is a piece of meaningless doublespeak that in my view, 0bama and Axelrod themselves would be proud of. There are Jews who are entirely non-observant, there are ultra-Orthodox, and there is every shade in between. There are Jews who believe that Israel is a vicious oppressor of downtrodden Palestinians, there are Jews who think the Palestinians are trash. There are Jews who believe Franklin Roosevelt was the best thing that ever happened to the universe and there are Jews who know that Roosevelt perhaps played a critical role in allowing many thousands of Jews to die in the Holocaust because he refused to allow bombing of the rail lines leading to the camps. There are Jews who think Debbie Wasserman-tirebiter are representative of something or other; there are Jews who believe Bibi Netanyahu is the prototypical Jew.
The bottom line is that this is poorly written, poorly thought-out, reactionary piece designed to repel Jews from Ryan and it probably WAS WRITTEN WEEKS AGO with blank spots for the name of the VP pick. And ANYONE who Romney picked would have “failed to uphold Jewish values” and the people who print such crap are idiot tools of this administration, arguably the most blatantly lethal to Israel and Jews in the history of the US. They can eat s**t and die as far as I am concerned.
Unbeknownst to me, National Suicide and Bankruptcy is apparently a Jewish value. /s
Regardless of how high the values of compassion, charity and kindness may be placed in Jewish theology and practice, they are not without specific, well-known limits. For example, the Rabbis teach that one should give charity generously. However, the further teach that it is forbidden to give charity to the point of impoverishing yourself. Similarly, giving charity to fakers or those simply unwilling to work, because you are depriving the truly needy while enabling self-destructive conduct. The highest form of charity is to enable a person to support himself (ie: teach him how to fish), so obviously, we are not supposed to promote the opposite, which is dependency.
Jews who are still voting democrat in times like these are no longer practicing Judaism. Their religion is liberalism.
owebama loves mudslimes and despises Jews and their state of Israel.
That so many libtard self-loathing Jews do not understand this is more proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.
These phonies would say that if Romney dug up Moses and put him his ticket. BTW which “Jewish” values does Ryan not hold; the one about aborting yourself out of existence?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

The only Jewish thing about the NJDC is the food they serve at events. Lox loving leftists don’t speak for Jewish values, just socialist ones.
Then why is it that the Jews who actually know the Talmud are the ones least likely to follow this BS?
I am soooo sick of identity politics. Can’t we just fix this country for everyone?
They could nominate a freaking Hasidic Jew and the NJDC would still say he didn’t represent Jewish values.
To headline only: And Dems are of course experts on “Jewish values”.
At Bar Mitzvah lessons, cakes are drugged and in hypnotic trance the kid is hooked up with his eyes held open, and he’s forced to listen to left wing diatribes about the evils of the GOP. Nixon, Reagan and Wm. F. Buckley speak, and due to the drugs he feels nauseous, just like in Clockwork Orange.
One wonders if there isn’t something in the water or the food that makes most US jews think leftward.
Reform and Conservative Bar Mitzvah lessons. I went to Chabad instead, so I was spared the Clockwork Orange treatment. But the rest of those poor kids are being brainwashed instead of learning their Haftorah.
