As a Jew, I am disgusted by my fellow tribe that would actually vote for this guy. But they will for two reasons:

– In liberal bubbles like NYC, where most Jews live, it’s simply too foreign for most Jews to break with the pack and vote GOP. I’m one of the few, so I know

– Jewish women are very pro-choice, because (and I speak as someone who grew up in NYC) New Yorkers are brainwashed to only hear the women’s choice point of view. And really, when the argument is framed as one of choice, with no dissenting view (anti-choice?), why would we expect people to vote differently.

It was only until I met an avid pro-lifer, who was a devout christian. He was clearly not anti-choice, but genuinely worried about the fact that babies were being murdered. Somehow, the right has really failed to convey this view with a sincerity that actually cuts through the nonsense.

Trust me, he will get the jewish vote, but not this one.

My point about how Jewish women view abortion is actually true for most moderates, and is a major reason why many centrists vote left – they really see pro-life as a fascist tool for female subjugation.

It is SO important that in 2012 we do not make social conservative issues, such as abortion, a centerpiece. If we do, we scare off these fools in the center, and Obama wins. It’s just that simple.

unless the republicans nominate some anti semitic nutjob like ron paul. fortunately there is no chance of that happening.

i really believe obama will not do as well as people think with two demographics. seniors and jewish people.

yes, i realize that some liberal jews would still vote for him even if he hung a flag with the crescent moon and a star in his office underneath a picture of adolph hitler. but i have a feeling he will poll about 10-15 points lower with jews than most people think.

with most Americans, like all the GOP voters who have yet to realize thatthe 1,200 mile border between Texas and Mexico is a BIG River, the Rio Grande.

longtimeconservation: The issue that has most Jewish voters incensed is Obama making a public diplomatic rift with PM Netanyahu over building permits for apartments in Ramat Shlomo (March 2010) and Gilo (recently).
Both neighborhoods of Jerusalem were built on rocky hillsides occupied by arab goats before 1967. These always vacant hillsides just happen to be east of the 1949 armistice line, but, if you can read a map, are both west of the Western Wall.

Contrary to the stereotype that most New York Jews are liberals, that is just not true. I argue this enough elsewhere, so why bother here.

Chutzpah is when the GOP thinks Jews are single-issue voters.

As for abortion? If the GOP would stop making it into their single issue, America would not be in the greatest divide since slavery.

The history of the 20th century GOP was not Jew-friendly. From the Northern Klan of 1915-2015 to the country clup GOP I encountered through my adult life since 1970, it is not so simple.

exiting – Newt is speaking on C-Span3 at the RJC coalition. Gov. Perry up next.

1) are you going to just get in line and groupthink your way out of your social responsibility? {if so, you failed this one}

2) Have you, as a thinking member of The Chosen, actually listened t Obama and not just viewed the peaks instead of the whole {Mountain} range of what he says? Is he speaking to your religion’s betterment, given all historical happenings, since 1947? {Hardly!!}

If you DO vote for Barry , what Will you say ,4 years hence? {“Oy-Gevalt”, would just might do it}

No Jew voting for Obama is thinking about 2. All jews I know (most) voted Obama because they are liberals first, and jews second.

I’m an American. I’m also Jewish, and it’s obvious from both perspectives that Obama was the wrong choice in 2008. Can’t explain the actions of my brethren.
