61. who's poll cnn !!!!!!
steven ,   florida   (11.08.06)
If you trust a cnn poll you are an idiot. I agree that traditionally jews vote for dems, but not in the last 2 elections. and more so the older jewish population. the babyboomers like myself never voted for dems. I agree with 37 that percent is bull......
62. Suffer the FOOLS that vote for Democrats
Dan Kessler ,   Seattle, USA   (11.08.06)
For anyone ESPECIALLY the Jewish community to vote for Democrats is akin to making sure the gun is 'loaded' and pointed in your direction so they can't miss when they take aim at your finances, homes, property, rights and freedoms. The Democrat party has abandoned ALL reason and is nothing but a shell of what it once was and what it has become is one of division, hate mongering and racism bent on pacifying the enemies of the free World like al Qaeda, North Korea and Iran. May God help us all.
63. Jews Vote for Democrats
Dennis ,   USA   (11.08.06)
How could someone with the spiritual background of G-d, the ten commandments, and certainly the sanctify of life vote for people for whom 'personal choice' has a higher value than what is clearly evident in the Scriptures. I don't think I'll ever understand that one. Dennis Evangelical Christian and supporter of Israel.
64. Christians are Israel's friends
Harry ,   Usa   (11.08.06)
I agree and the 13% Jews who voted Republican.

Oh, we Democrats lost the war in Iraq? Sorry buddy, that one's entirely on you. The Republican President and his Republican cronies lied their way into war, spooking Americans over nothing in order to get their support. The Republicans in Congress gave the Republicans in the executive branch a blank check. The Republican executive branch, composed of a bunch of draft-dodging chickenhawk cokeheads, was also too lazy to plan the occupation at all, and the Republicans in Congress didn't put any pressure on them to do their job. Then the Republicans in the executive branch proceeded to screw up absolutely everything, ignoring the advice of seasoned generals, while once again the Republican Congress sat with their thumbs up their asses and refused to ask any questions. The Republicans in Congress also refused to look into all the fraud that's going on with reconstruction firms with connections to the Republican executive branch. After all, the Republican Congress was too busy taking bribes from Jack Abramoff and covering up for Mark Foley and other Republican pedophiles. So while the Republican Congress didn't do their job, the Republican executive branch got a bunch of people killed for no reason and put the lives of every person in the military (including my cousin) on the line for false purposes. And all these Republicans also messed Iraq up worse than anyone could imagine, unleashing a civil war, and screwed us for decades to come. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see where Democrats were involved anywhere in that whole parade of incompetence, irresponsibility, and corruption. When the Abu Ghraib Martyrs' Brigades are blowing up buildings in the US, don't come crying to me. Every terrorist act for at least the next 20 years ought to come gift-wrapped with a bow that says "from the Republican party." You incompetent assholes have done enough damage, thank you. And as for your snide "I hope the terrorists nuke the Democrats in New York" comment, here's hoping you drown in a bucket of pig slop way out in Gray Summit. Fuck off, dickhead.
66. Rabbi Lapin was correct about you 87%
D.H. ,   Mi., USA   (11.08.06)
Not only the 875 voters but also the Liberal Jewish politicians continue to erode the Judeo-Christian heritage of our country. By casting in your lot with these liberal minds, you turn your backs on the teachings of Torah!! What a shame when we came to your aid during the Holocaust!
67. Once again we Jews proved how stupid we are!
ANA ,   NYC   (11.08.06)

Bill Clinton was the worst President ever. Dems are not our friends
70. GO George W, GO! #65
John ,   USA   (11.08.06)
The nerve of these guys, huh? At the end of the day it's like Colin Powell told Bush "You break it, you own it."
71. Yes, I agree Fadi #52
John ,   USA   (11.08.06)
72. #65 - CLASS ACT! - TYPICAL LEFTY . . .
Mark ,   USA   (11.08.06)
Thank you for exposing yourself as a typical lefty democrat - name calling, cursing, and generally throwing a face-spitting tantrum rather than debate the facs like an adult. I love you lefties - you never fail to disappoint!
73. American Jews just voted into power the party
Johnson ,   USA   (11.08.06)
of Hitler and Stalin, Bin Ladin and Castro. Way to go. Dumb asses!!!
74. Democrats vote the same as the terrorists
Mel ,   USA   (11.08.06)
75. 87%? Another poll suggests otherwise
Jewish Republican ,   Chicago, Illinois   (11.08.06)
According to exit polls conducted for the Republican Jewish Coalition by leading pollster Arthur Finkelstein, the Jewish vote for Republicans held steady compared to reported results from 1992 to 2004. At the same time, in a difficult political environment, the national vote for Republicans declined significantly, resulting in the loss of control of the House and possibly the Senate. According to the RJC exit polls of 1000 voters (margin of error +/-3%) taken yesterday, support for the GOP among Jewish voters was 26.4%. http://www.rjchq.org/news.asp?FormMode=Detail&id=1187
76. Good, now we can end our support for the country of Israel!!
Mark ,   SLC, UT   (11.08.06)
The Zionist hating jews of America are helping us to turn our backs to your country. Now we can spend our money on our own people and stop throwing it down a rathole to a country with no future in this world. Read our blogs, you boneheads, we don't want an oppressive regime like Israel to survive! Read the dailykos or the democrat underground! The world needs peace and it will get it, with the departure of the Republican Party and the country of Israel from the face of this earth.
77. Jews voting Democrat
John ,   Chicago   (11.08.06)
So what else is new. It's textbook cattle-car complex. Jews fail to see who their real friend is. But go ahead my fellow Jew, vote democrat and wait for Nazis to come out of the woodwork while the democrats you love so much apologize and appease the Muslims who want all of us dead.
78. 87 percent of Jews vote Democrat
Nina ,   Colorado   (11.08.06)
II wouldn't necessarily trust CNN sampling. Based on my own sampling (very unscientific though) of about 50 Jews, only ~35% of them voted Democrats. Now, that could be also because a lot of them are immigrants from former Soviet Union, and they are the ones who saw evil and know better than to vote for Democrats... Anyhow, big disappointment… There is never was a better friend of Israel in White House.
79. 87%....

80. #4 U.S/NATO WAR On Serb CHRISTIANS. We Bombed the Wrong Side
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.09.06)
NATO War Crimes and links to Al Qaeda confirmed former UN Commander in the Balkans We bombed the wrong side? by Lewis MacKenzie National Post, 6 April 2004 www.globalresearch.ca Five years ago our television screens were dominated by pictures of Kosovo-Albanian refugees escaping across Kosovo's borders to the sanctuaries of Macedonia and Albania. Shrill reports indicated that Slobodan Milosevic's security forces were conducting a campaign of genocide and that at least 100,000 Kosovo-Albanians had been exterminated and buried in mass graves throughout the Serbian province. NATO sprung into action and, in spite of the fact no member nation of the alliance was threatened, commenced bombing not only Kosovo, but the infrastructure and population of Serbia itself... Those of us who warned that the West was being sucked in on the side of an extremist, militant, Kosovo-Albanian independence movement were dismissed as appeasers. The fact that the lead organization spearheading the fight for independence, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), was universally designated a terrorist organization and known to be receiving support from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda was conveniently ignored. ...Those Serbs forced to leave joined the 200,000 who had been cleansed from the province since NATO's "humanitarian" bombing in 1999... Since the NATO/UN intervention in 1999, Kosovo has become the crime capital of Europe. The sex slave trade is flourishing. The province has become an invaluable transit point for drugs... The objective of the Albanians is to purge all non-Albanians...from Kosovo The campaign started with their attacks on Serbian security forces in the early 1990s... There was no genocide as claimed by the West -- the 100,000 allegedly buried in mass graves turned out to be around 2,000, of all ethnic origins, including those killed in combat during the war itself. The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius. We have subsidized and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an ethnically pure and independent Kosovo... When they achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world. http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MAC404A.html Maj-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie, now retired, commanded UN troops during the Bosnian civil war of 1992.
81. to #77
Nina ,   CO   (11.09.06)
Hey, don't celebrate too early #77. The Daily Kos Kiss of Death (when Markos and his Kidz declare support for a political candidate) has claimed another victim: Ned Lamont. Read http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/ - they have brains and guts unlike your daily miscos and very obviously yourself

83. #4 1999 U.S/NATO WAR On CHRISTIAN SERBS: Return to Barbarism
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.09.06)
U.S./NATO took the side of the KLA Muslim terrorist organization and waged ruthless war on Christian Serb innocents. Alija Izetbegovic stated in the ISLAMIC DECLARATION that: - "there can be neither peace nor coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic social and political institutions"; http://www.balkanpeace.org/cib/bos/bosi/bosi01.html NATO BOMBING -- RETURN TO BARBARISM For National Post, May 31, 1999. For 69 days the democratic countries of the West have been systematically smashing to pieces a modern European state... The air strikes have degenerated into a war of annihilation against the Serbian people. Even before the bombing, its economy had collapsed as a result of economic sanctions. ... It was a country that presented no threat either to its neighbors or to European security. Prior to the NATO air attack it was balancing on the edge of survival. Despite this, our NATO leaders -- without consulting their parliaments or their people -- have chosen to bomb Yugoslavia into submission. NATO has judged Serbian people to be collectively guilty of daring to defy an ultimatum, which no sovereign nation could have accepted. The civilized world is now standing by witnessing the destruction of a country and annihilation of its people. NATO is using the most dreadful weapons of modern warfare: cluster bombs and cruise missiles. Many of the weapons being used contain depleted uranium, which will spread deadly radioactive dust throughout the region, contaminating for generations water, soil and crops. NATO's unprovoked attack is a blatant violation of every precept of international law. To their everlasting shame, our NATO leaders have chosen war over peace in Kosovo. They have abandoned diplomacy in favor of bloodshed. .. They have smashed the framework of world security. They have guaranteed that we will start the new century as we did this one, with killing and carnage. They have left us with a terrible legacy. With six months to go before the millennium, they have taken us back to barbarism. http://www.deltax.net/bissett/a-bombing.htm
84. Jewish votes
Robert Moon ,   Ft Worth, Texas   (11.09.06)
It's a shame how unloyal Jews are. President Bush has supported Israel more than any other president ever. The Republican Party supports Israel more than any other party but you stabbed us in the back. We won't forget. Israel can suffer as far as we care now.
85. 87 percent of Jews vote Democrat
RH ,   Pine, Arizona   (11.09.06)
It seems the Jewish Americans are want to understand that the American Democratic Left is composed of the same ideology that existed in Europe when so many Jews were persecuted and exterminated. I guess they are "a stiff necked people". Blind and hard headed also it appears.
86. 13%er here
Ian ,   Austin Texas   (11.09.06)
attn#8 - Jews are always their own worst enemies!
87. 23. Sorry Dorothy and all who think Christians are through
Pro-Israel Democrat ,   USA   (11.09.06)
There are millions of pro-Israel Evangelical Christian Democrats too!
88. America doing Israel's dirty work
Richie A ,   Bronx, NY USA   (11.09.06)
The Jews have too much influence in America, too many Jew lawyers. Enough of the crybabies.
89. type in "87 percent" in google and
elan   (11.09.06)
look at the first result. coincidence?
90. question for #87
ted ,   tennessee   (11.09.06)
There is something that I'm really curious about. You being an Evangelical Christian, one would assume that you take the Bible seriously. That being the case, how can you support a party that endorses abortion and gay rights? The Bible does not support either of these. I agree that some democrats do a much better job than some republicans but how can one stay faithful to God's word and support two issues that He condemns? I don't mean to be confrontational, just interested in how you deal with it.
