31. to #7 salami, how about all of you try
jason white ,   afula, israel   (09.14.11)
mass suicide? That would help with your problem and it would make the world a better place for us humans.
32. #7 Salma - Rightful Homeland LOL
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.14.11)
You have as yet to prove that you have any entitlement, despite repeated requests, you have refused to present any of what one could call "PROOF" You lot of fakers outnumbers Jordan's King, use all of your wind power to blow him out of office Or, your other choice, is since you're ARABS, head on back to where yor name indicates you came from, Jolly Old Arabia If all else doesn't work, use the Japanese solution, Sepaku works everytime
33. The next electiuon is the Republicans to lose
Al   (09.14.11)
If they screw it up, they will only have themselves to blame. They have to move to the middle and forgoe the wacky tea party dimwits and recapture Reagans blue collar southern democrats. Rick Perry may be their only chance. He will capture the south esp Fla and Ohio and thats where the power lies today. That is the only way the republicans will win it. Obama was a lousy equal opportunity shot in the dark and America is suffering for it bigtime.
34. Winners and Losers
WLS ,   Columbus, OH   (09.14.11)
Winner: America. Looser: osmabamabama and Communism.
35. Salma
Marsh ,   Buffalo   (09.14.11)
How about making real peace? How about stopping the hate? How about getting rid of all the corruption? How about - just getting along!
36. Useful idiots become Useless idiots ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.14.11)
Jews in America need to wake up AND STOP BEING SO NAIVE WHEN IT COMES TO EVIL. It's in your face, the 2 state solution is evil to the core and the overwhelming majority don't see it. When the majority of 'useful idiot' Jews here in the U.S. no longer serve the agenda of the bitter and vengeful one he will find his revenge and make them the scapegoat for all the problems the U.S. faces just as the evil one and his evil media keep trying to do with the tea party. All it would take is 1 major terrorist attack and martial law and many will wish they had made aliyah when they had the opportunity.
37. Obama has failed
Dr. Alan Phillips ,   Bloomington, USA   (09.14.11)
THE PRESIDENTIAL EXPERIMENT WILL COME TO AN END IN THE NEXT ELECTION. HE HAS FAILED, JOBS ARE GONE, ECONOMY IS BAD, PEOPLE WILL CAST HIM OUT. The figure of thirty million unemployed looking for work is a totally accurate picture of this nation's rush to a second Great depression. This administration in spite of its marketing and public relations efforts is presiding over this coming storm. The only question that remains to be answered is whether this inaction to alleviate unemployment is planned by the administration or simply the result of unparalleled ignorance by the President. In spite of wake up calls from the Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman, the administration does nothing of any consequence. It's past time for the administration to concentrate on solving the problem rather than criticizing George Bush that solves nothing. Everyone in the Obama administration from the President on down currently seems to have their eyes and minds on the 2012 elections and how the Republicans may well gain control of the Congress and the White House. This emphasis frankly is not the issue, it's a diversion from the real mission. The true task before the nation is to create jobs and return employment from the years of international trade adventurism that has decimated the American middle class. Federal and state taxes need to be cut for those corporations willing to accept assigned quotas for job creation in this nation. A major action think tank composed of corporate CEO's and normal workers needs to be tasked with immediately addressing this coming possibility of depression with jobs. Yet the President fails to see the problem. Never have so many so called political leaders of both parties been in a stupor of this depth. Americans hurting, workers looking for work-White House lavish parties, unemployment being talked about nationwide in coffee shops-lack on his part of support for Israel, all that is lacking is the fiddle upon which the President can play. Hope and change must be immediately replaced with the phrase action now and jobs immediately. It's past time for action, the President’s coming speech means nothing, actions still speak louder than words. The President needs to lead but it’s obvious he has lost his way. He has failed. Dr. Alan G. Phillips, Bloomington, IL
38. Turner Win in NY
David Latham ,   Madison USA   (09.14.11)
Liberals hate anyone that does not agree with them. They are equal opportunity haters. Look at their actions when they lose. They write hateful racist comments and unions incite violence. Why would anyone who claims to love peace and freedom align themselves with these hateful people and their hateful party? Don't listen to their words watch their actions...
39. Gay Rights NOT Israel defeated Weprin
Jason ,   Orange, Texas   (09.14.11)
Since the defeated David Weprin is Jewish and a Supporter of Israel the "Israel Issue" is bogus and a red herring in this article. The true issue is that morally conservative voters REJECTED Weprin's support of GAY RIGHTS in the state legislature. When will the press stop kissing the buttocks of the Gays?
40. Obama part of the Israel hating global left
JTDeth ,   NY USA   (09.14.11)
The global left hates Israel as part of their historically ignorant belief that the Israelis, a people who made the desert bloom and brought the only democracy to the Middle East, are oppressors. Obama since his SDS days and nurtured with the Rev Wright's Marxist "Liberation Theology" while supported by Louis Farrakan and his "Nation of Islam" is allied with the global left against Israel. Hence the constant insults to the Israeli PM culminating with sending him out the exit by the garbage cans after springing an anti-Israel foreign policy on him by surprise. Any Jew who supports Obama or the Democrats is voting for a party who would be thrilled to see Israel destroyed.
41. America will make things right Israel..
Kurt ,   Holland, US   (09.14.11)
Obama is over. Even though a lot can happen in a year, the likelihood of Obama coming out of this is very unlikely. Also keep in mind, what Obama does is Liberalism on display. There are a lot of good Democrats out there who want to do the right thing, and this time they did.
42. Weprin's defeat in NY Congressional race
Chaz ,   USA   (09.14.11)
Couldn't agree more with "no jew should vote democratic", from Terry in Eliat, Israel. Most liberal democrats look at Israel with distain. They are concerned more with power than goodness and righteousness. The notion of hospitality is foreign to them.
43. It has always been a mystery
Rudolf ,   Denver, USA   (09.14.11)
It has always been a mystery why Jews voted so overwhelmingly Demo. Republicans have always been much more supportive of Israel. Plus the Evangelical Christian block within the Rep. party has always been shoulder to shoulder with Israel. On the other side, Dem party, not at all. Were some eyes finally opened?
44. Moslems are voting republican too
teflon moslem ,   kufa iraq   (09.14.11)
there are 4 million Shia in the US they all were instructed to vote republican and for Texas Gov we like the BUSH people they free Iraq and Afghanistan and the next president will help us free Saudi from the Wahabi and then we ourselves free Jurasalem and so on
45. #10 Sue - U.S. does plenty of it's own
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.14.11)
spying all by its lonesome,remember Patrick Henry? the Granddady of Americn Spies,if not you should,plus "U.S. Caught Spying on Citizens of Five Scandinavian Countries ... worldunderwatch.blogspot.com/.../us-caught-spying-on-citizens-of-... - CachedYou +1'd this publicly. Undo Nov 18, 2010 – U.S. Caught Spying on Citizens of Five Scandinavian Countries. ... In other instances, it has stated it has 'nothing to hide'. ... and the information was sent to Washington, to prevent terrorist attacks against U.S. embassies. ... You visited this page on 8/8/11." Sue, don't cast stones, America lives in a very glass house
46. Headline
Nutty ,   USA   (09.14.11)
Loss of Weiner Hurts Obama!
47. Salma
Jane   (09.14.11)
Educate for peace, advocate for peace. Abandon terror as a negotiating tool and as a way of life. Be good, law-abiding, peaceful neighbors and amazing things can happen.
48. The Jewish Community
Rob Golding ,   Tampa , FL   (09.14.11)
It would be a breath of fresh air if the Jewish community in America is truly starting to awaken from this nightmare Called Obama. most America love the state of Israel. This President is a threat to Israel and the United states and must be removed ! God bless the United States and Israel
49. Voters have spoken
Joe ,   Philly, USA   (09.14.11)
Whose chickens are coming home to roost now?
50. The Big Broom
tymwltl ,   Pelham NH USA   (09.14.11)
One more swept out with the trash, the biggest screw-up of all gone in 2012. The voters of NY are rejoicing.
51. David Weprin is observant Jew?
Yaacov ,   Phila-USA   (09.14.11)
Here's one observation. In every photo that appears from a Google search for "David Weprin photo", there is not a single shot with yalmuke and/or tzitzit. 'Nuff said?
52. #1Terry
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (09.14.11)
Glad to see you pardner.
53. Message to Obama
Bill ,   Hartford USA   (09.14.11)
I am Catholic and American but have been very concerned about Obama's treatment of Israel. It has amazed me that Jewish voters would support a man who, clearly, does not support the Israeli State. I was very happy to see the repudiation of his policies by the New York voters.
54. To 7
Rob Golding ,   Tampa , Fl   (09.14.11)
When the Palestinian People love their children more than their hate for Israel.. Then and only then you will have peace. When you have a Mother that willingly send her child off to die with bombs strapped to themselves to kill innocent men , women , and children, then you will have war... Rob golding
55. We must protect Israel!
robert jones ,   dallas texas   (09.14.11)
God Bless the USA and Israel!
56. vote in NY district 9
rodney ,   Manhattan Kansas USA   (09.14.11)
God Bless our Jewish brothers and sisters who have cast a vote for freedom. Thank you, God.
57. NY9 is the core of the Dems base
BH ,   Iowa   (09.14.11)
It's a district they last lost in 1922. If they can't keep their urban liberal Jewish base, 2012 will not be close. Obama lost the heartland long ago.
58. Reply to #1
Ben Dover ,   Greenwood, MS USA   (09.14.11)
Is that liberalism? Yes. Read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. You don't have to read the whole book. You can find his list of 13 rules. Also keep in mind that the introduction to his book praises Lucifer. Further, keep in mind that Saul Alinsky is/was a formative influence among many liberals including Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many more. When we elect leaders we need to be very careful and mindful of who we vote for and where their influences came from. Pay more attention to their past than what they promise to do for you.
59. Everything Obama touches turns to Dreck.
Schlomo ,   S.Fran, USA   (09.14.11)
We need a primary, and he needs to be beaten and taken out with last week''s fish.
60. Goodbye Dems
Matt Rivera ,   San Diego, Ca   (09.14.11)
Thanks New York and Nevada for bringing America back!
