Perhaps they have not created a common platform so far.

Because usually the one's who would actually vote for Romney, would and do spend time learning and teaching Torah and Halacha instead of being involved in politics. Those other "rabbis" are only politics and no knowledge of Torah and definitely not Halacha.

Very true..... Its the same in any group. Look at groups like AARP which is supporting Obama... even though a vast majority of seniors hate Obama... but the few that are active in politics and lobbying are leftists.

There's a blog site called ' Rabbis against Obama 2012' :

If justified, they should be publicized more and more.

Maybe because the so-called "Rabbis" all support Osama.

No. Nice try though. Orthodox mostly either don't or do not care.

None of the Rabbis I know say anything good about Obama. Though they try not to get political... I was impressed to learn that one of my Rabbis stood up against abortion {specifically late-term abortion} calling it murder...

Why the hell would Jews want to support osama?
He hates them.

Rabbi Soloveitchik Speaks to GOP

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/159402#.UD5B39ZlQeI

The Soloveitchik family/dynasty are the leaders of Torah in the U.S. The OU and other such organizations are under them. Mainly the Orthodox and Modern Orthodox.

You beat me to it. I was going to post about this. The Soloveitchik name is a real benefit as almost all Orthodox Jews recognize it.

With all due respect to him but his speech sounds more American (the conservative) then Jewish. Of-course G-D is the one who gives the rights, but under the real Jewish government G-D gives authority to the Hachamim and the King (Or Nasi or national leader).

In context it is proper. America was never intended to be a Torah state.

I'm not talking about America, I'm talking about a Jewish state for Jews. but I guess your correct he was saying it to them. But partial problem to this is when these attitudes and ideas are then brought to Israel where many people still think that Western values are Torah values. They certainly are not.

For example the idea of the Moshiah compelling all of Israel to keep the Torah and Mitzwoth would be foreign and strange to many of even religious Jews. They would rather picture him as some kiruv Rabbi. Perhaps one that tries to act "cool" with the crowd. Not as someone who makes laws and forcing certain necessary things.

I found this short little trailer for a video on Rabbi Soleveitchik.
