Guys, as a gentile, I've been trying to understand why Jews would vote Democratic- and support Obama. I found this on another board, and this gentleman seems to explain it. I found his post very interesting.
What do you think?
"No offense taken. As a Jew who has made a fair amount of money, I believe that if you give politicians money it only encourages them to stay so I never donate to campaigns directly.
The Jews in the Dem party account for something like 40% of all contributions despite being only 3-5% of the party. So mostly what the dems want them for is their money and for candidates who can self-finance.
The dem party has a real conundrum because Obama is buddy-buddy with the radical blacks who have solidified behind him. And despite American white Jews being the disproportionate number of whites participating in the civil rights movement back in the 60s, blacks in America have given Jews virtually ZERO credit for their support, money and their sacrificed lives. Blacks are the most anti-semitic ethnic group in america outside of Arabs. And ‘muslims’ as a whole as virtually entirely Jews haters and a large percentage of american muslims are black (many of which learned it in prison and were radicalized there).j
Jews will be increasingly forced to either stand shoulder to shoulder with people who would rather see them dead or they will be forced to join the GOP. Despite Bush being the most anti-terrorist (and therefore pro-Israel) President in US history, Jews have only gone from about 15% to about 25% support of the GOP when Bush was on or influenced the ballot. Jews, being about 80+% democrat in the US, are more afraid of republicans than the nazis, commies, muzzies and whomever else will attempt genocide and there is virtually nothing the GOP can do to change it.
Unfortunately, most Jews arrived in the US and they became wedded to the idea of ‘social justice’ (essentially, socialism with lawyers) and it is more of a religious edict than the commandments themselves. This upcoming August there will be more Jews at the DNC convention praying to the Obama cult than there will be Jews sitting in synagogues in Denver. Sad. But I’d put money on the table that its statistically true.
Actual religious Jews are infinitely more likely to be GOP voters. They are also infinitely more likely to support the survival and continued existence of Israel as a Jewish state (as opposed to the 40(something)% of US Jews overall which includes mostly liberal Jews who related to Hamas as much as to democracy).
But Obama will be creating all kinds of conflicts in Jewish leftist households because he has so many pro-Hamas people on his advisor list and Israel is the obvious loser in an Obama admistration when having cocktail hour with Ahmedinejad will replace sanctions, threats of force and embargos as our foreign policy.
G-d, it's depressing to be Jewish in America knowing what the rest of them are going to be doing to flush us all down the drain(along with 97% of blacks, 60%+ of hispanics and 99.975% of college professors)."
