Jews voted overwhelmingly Democrat this year

The tragedy with Jews is that we don't seem to learn from history.

WASHINGTON - American Jews expressed flagrant support for Democratic candidates for Congress, contributing to a turnaround in the House of Representatives. According to a CNN sampling of voters, 87 percent of Jewish voters voted Democrat.


This was the highest percentage of support for Democrats since the Republicans took over Congress in 1994.


Democrats' Victory

The Republican Party tried to frighten Jewish voters during the election campaign, primarily with their ads in Jewish newspapers, but no one was buying.


In this election, Jews voted for candidates they thought would be good for Israel, but not necessarily the ones who would be the best for Israel, said Steve Rabinowitz, an elections expert who served in the White House during the Clinton era.


Jews didn't vote for anti-Israeli candidates, but also didn't ignore other issues important to them: the war in Iraq, the economy, immigration, the environment and abortion, he explained.


One of the Democrats' biggest assets was Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago-born son of former Israelis, who chaired the Democratic Congressional Campaign.


Emanuel, who served as a Clinton political advisor in Washington, endorsed conservative candidates for conservative states such as Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky and, thus, succeeded in achieving a political upset in traditionally Republican areas.


Additionally, the number of Jews in Congress is expected to increase: Bernie Sanders (Independent) from Vermont and Ben Cardin (Democrat) from Maryland will raise the number of Jewish Senators from 11 to 13 out of 100 - in a nation where Jews comprise only 5 million of the 300 million person population.





Look at this self-hating, assimilated, k1ke, Rahm Emmanuel, the son of former Israelis, who actually buys the "melting pot" and "multiculturalism" myths.  The Holocaust didn't teach the Jew a damn thing.

87 percent voted Democrat?

Sounds like there's no hope. 

[Sparky]

I'm fully convinced that Jewish Bolshevism is genetic.  It makes perfect sense considering the history of the Jews, but it's still unfortunate.

as they do every year... nik.

What I don't understand is how can the figure be in the high 80's if there are hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Jews in the U.S. who overwhelmingly vote Republican, and the entire Jewish population of the U.S. is 6 million or so (and fast declining due to assimilation)?  I think the criterion that the pollsters used to classify people as Jewish was too liberal.  I'm sure that these same pollsters consider John Kerry and members of the cult of Neturei Karta to be Jewish as well...

Either way, this is a disgrace for us Jews.

This media headline may or may not be true.

No one asked me how I voted; did anyone here on this forum get asked by the media as to their choice of political party?

I already know the answer (which is NO).

The great danger of a "free media" is that anyone, anywhere, can publish or claim virtually ANYTHING, and most people are so stupid that they immediately accept it as fact.

Disappointing

[jdl4ever]

I am not so disappointed since there is not much difference between most democrats and republicans.  They all suck.  I vote republican but my mom likes to vote for a lot of democrats but she won't vote for the really liberal ones though, only the conservative dems.  I vote straight republican. 

And yes, not religious jews are the biggest libs out there.

Secular Jews support the most socialist candidates out there. They supported Clinton and when you tell them Arafat visited the WH more than any other leader they make excuses for it. Because it was for peace... 

Jews are by and large the most politically inept people on the planet. At least the third world savages vote for parties that give them handouts. Jews get NOTHING by voting democrat yet they still blindly support them. And disgusting rodents like Chuck Schumer are great examples of Jews to them.
