Question: “And Obama reportedly got ~68% of the Jewish vote in 2012. What it will take to wake people up?”
Except for a small percentage of Orthodox, and a small number in the Conservative and Reform congregations, American Jews are committed to communism/Obamunism/socialism and the delights of being snout deep in the government trough.
The correct word for such trough feeders is, IIRC, “hazers”.
GladesGuru, it's the “reportedly that you need to think about. Our votes are counted, if they are at all, by SEIU employees, who also handle absentee ballots. Precinct volunteers from all parties used to count ballots before they left the presence of volunteers, and were not removed from the oversight of volunteers until they are all counted.
The Obama administration is certainly not the first to deploy vote fraud, but they appear to be more skilled at using that control to manipulate the citizenry. The claim that 68% of Jews supported Obama seems very likely to be propaganda being used to divide the Jewish block. Haaretz, a liberal Israeli paper polled after the election and reported that 89% of Americans voting from Israel voted for Romney. Those who keep their US citizenship are most often liberal, and very similar to the liberal Jews who don't vote from Israel. If this seems incongruent, it is.
Voting is sadly a myth. There is no audit trail any longer in the Federal voting process. Thus there is no way to recount, or to check the accuracy of, either the number of voters, or for whom they presumably voted. That is why Alan West got different number every time he asked for verification of counts. Such verification is not possible, and West would have been bankrupted since Florida Sec. of State and local voting officials could cook imaginary numbers indefinitely. There is no baseline possible, and most citizen have no idea how nonexistent is our verification of votes. It is no accident that Soros spent some 60 million dollars to select and control candidates for the Secretaries of States offices. It is no accident the one of Barry's first jobs was as a trainer for Acorn/Soros’ spin-off, Project Vote.
It isn't easy to grasp, but consider Stalin's words, “It only matters who counts the votes.” Our votes, if they are counted at all, and that is a very reasonable question, are counted by, or on machines distributed and maintained by the SEIU, out of sight of honest precinct workers. Our absentee ballots are sent through the Post Office (SEIU) and delivered to SEIU workers to be counted with no real oversight of any kind. I use the word “real” because while most state laws permit people to apply to be observers, the SEIU can count anytime the feel like it, and have simply dismissed observers trying to look over their shoulders. Can anyone expect SEIU workers to forsake a career, likely physical repercussions, to reveal what really goes on? They probably know very little, because there is no need to count anything when the numbers can be provided by The White House. SEIU workers will learn the folly of destroying the private economy, without which they cannot be paid, except with grossly inflated currency.
