Why do those of the Jewish faith vote so heavily Democrat?

I think a lot of jews voted republican this past election, at least a lot more than last time.

He might be a German Jew or just German. I believe there is a difference.

They have bought the Democrat's propaganda. Which party is better for Israel? The Rs or the Ds? I think both parties are supportive of Israel which is a great thing. Lieberman and other politicians are Democrats, such as Ackerman from NY, so the Jews identify with the Democratic party.

envy me, your Islamic law will not succeed in America.

envy me, thanks for your BS as usual. And no, your Islamic law will not succeed in America.

Why must everyone sling mud? Perhaps they formed their own opinions, and 74% sided a certain way. The OP was merely wondering why they sided that way. The whole idea of a "party" hurts the political system to begin with. Having to make a 90% match to a groups beliefs on paper is fundamentally wrong. Nobody has the same beliefs, and everyone should start recognizing that.

And what did I say differently? Different groups buy the Republican message or the Democrat message. I choose to not vote. Both parties don't represent America and are not looking out for our interests.

Yeah, but the OP was asking why they bought the message. Just saying that they "bought propaganda" loosely doesn't answer the question. Perhaps there are a few prime issues which affect Jewish people the most, although nothing like that has turned up so far in this thread. With other groups its a little more obvious.

I would think that the penny pinching jews would vote more fiscal conservative but I might be wrong...

Nice stereotype.

A55hole!


What a few of you mentioned is most jews feel the need to vote for the person, not the party, that gives them the most freedom and protects the constitution. It generally has nothing to do with party affiliation. There is no koolaid propaganda that Raildogg thinks that Jews vote for Israel, yes some do but everyone in a "type" has thier goals.

It's mainly about freedom.

The better question, based on that fact, is why people of faith are almost universally lumped in with conservatives/republicans.

Because the repubs have great salesmen. They took the abortion/gay marrage arguements and thats all she wrote. Those 2 issues are all the zealots care about.

conservative CHRISTIAN right typically votes Republican.

DEMS don't tend to ram religion down people's throats.

Fly that flag of tolerance high, you brave one!

Well, I was just thinking and I realized something. Where do most Jews live in the U.S.? Well, doing a quick and lazy estimate from Wikipedia, more than half the population can be found in California, New York and Massachusetts.

What in the world are you talking about? I checked his posts in his thread and I don't see him talking about anything related to Islam and Law in this thread. Did you post in the wrong thread?
