61. No Jew Should Vote Democratic
Pengwin ,   Angleton, USA   (09.14.11)
No Catholic should vote Democratic either. When the Dems promote abortion, same sex marriage, etc. it's a no brainer.
62. It was about gay marriage -Drudge is missing the point
robbie ,   ny ny   (09.14.11)
People were voting against Weprin because of his outrageous declaration that as an orthodox jew he was voting for gay marriage. It was a vote on morality, not israel.
63. hope it's just the beginning
Jim M ,   Pawleys Island, USA   (09.14.11)
God bless Israel and the USA! I hope this is just the beginning of an awakening that the self styled liberals are anti-Israel, anti-Semitic and Anti-American. America must stand up for our friends. Those friends reside in Israel, not the Palestinian territories,
64. It will soooooooooon be over!
savedman ,   pell city-usa   (09.14.11)
Glory to God in the highest, the Lamb of God-Jesus Christ our Lord is coming to reign. This ungodly mess will soon disappear. Repent and Receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and you will have intelligence sufficient to vote right. Romans 10:9-13
65. I'm Salma number 3 and the real Salma
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.14.11)
The others are fake, plant of Zionist regime and Palestinian collaborator.
66. I got news for you.
Andrew P ,   Alexandria VA   (09.14.11)
Most of Obama's Dem base supports the Palestinians. The only Democrats that support Israel are the Jews. This result gives Obama his cause to throw the Jews completely under the bus and double down on his base, where his heart already is.
67. #1 Terry & #2. Sarah
Susan ,   Atlanta georgia   (09.14.11)
I agree with Terry & Sarah. Many Many Americans that support Israel are people that understand the territory that God gave the Jews. This information is found in the Old Testament of the Bible. People that are angry about this are angry with God Himself. So try talking with God. He will answer you.
68. NY vote
Graf Otto ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.14.11)
The only thing better than Jews voting Republican would be their acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. I love Israel and the people and am so happy about the NY vote. It gives me hope. Viva Israel!!
69. graczek #29 let's level the playing field
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.14.11)
If Jews aren't allowed to vote for a candidate that supports their view point then goyim shouldn't be able to vote for right to lifers or those that oppose same-sex marriage, isn't that fair? How about gun owners not being allowed to vote for NRA members? Or end the nonsense of priests protecting murderers and pedophiles that confess to them? Any other rights you wish to take away from groups you don't agree with or is it just reserved for Jews? I think I know the answer.
70. election results
edward ,   johnson city   (09.14.11)
The liar in chief forgot to wear his beanie results was
71. to Salma
Richard ,   Boston MA,USA   (09.14.11)
It's tragic that leadership by a Palestinian Christian is not an option. Imagine a government in Palestine controlled by Christians the way Lebanon once was, Imagine the prosperity, justice FOR ALL and potential for lasting peace would be. Any other alternative is a recipe for ongoing devastation for the people of Palestine.
72. I don't understand why Jews are typically Democrat
Silvae ,   Coopersburg, PA   (09.14.11)
I never understood Jewish support for the Democrats. Nearly every Democrat I know supports the Palestinians and is critical of Israel. There is downright hostility and hatred in the liberal/democratic younger generation, which fanatically supports the Free Gaza movement and anti-Israeli protests on college campuses. At my college the Democrat student group was passing out Palestinian arm bands to students and wearing them to class. Meanwhile the Republicans and conservatives are vocally supportive of Israel, both in public and also in private. I personally do not know one single conservative that is not supportive of Israel. The time is come for the Jewish voters to realize the Democrat party has abandoned them for their enemies.
73. Obama & the Dems biggest mistake
Philos ,   Herzliya   (09.14.11)
Was that they allowed the Republican's and pro-business media to run the narrative. Nobody remembers that the financial and economic crash was a direct result of policies implemented by GW Bush and that the economy was still bottoming out when Obama took office. I also find it pretty amusing how everyone is writing off Obama and the Dems now. Oh I seem to recall a similar line of jabbering way back when in 2008 when Obama clinched the nomination :)
74. good news ! Fed up with fake jews who support islam
(09.14.11)
75. Republicans will not win any election for the next 50 years
(09.14.11)
76. #44 Your were INSTRUCTED to vote republican?
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (09.14.11)
Your vote is free, for you to choose. Who Instructed you? Dont you have your own brain?
77. New York Republican Win
Jane ,   Sebastian, USA   (09.14.11)
Let's hope that other lifetime Democrats realize this party is not the Democrat Party of your parents. The present Democrat Party is controlled by radical leftists and does not reflect American Values.
78. Why?
Dirk ,   El Paso, TX U.S.A   (09.14.11)
I'm glad New Yorkers are seeing the truth about these leftists....it's about time. I have one question for New Yorkers, WHY? Haven't you DEMANDED that the new tower at ground zero be named "Freedom Tower"? And please don't tell me that it would offend anyone.....after 9/11, I really don't care who it would offend. This is OUR country!!!!!
79. Do not vote for Democrats
Mary Jeanne Patrick ,   Buchanan USA   (09.14.11)
I am a conservative Bible believing Christian woman who loves Israel and the Jewish people. As an American I am very ashamed of the current Administration's anti-Israel policy. May the LORD have mercy on the USA.
80. Demos lost!!
TWXASROADRUNNER ,   HOUSTON, USA   (09.14.11)
This is results of a stupid Congress bickering over every issue and totally "OUT OF TOUCH" with the voters. The young and minorities are effected The most and they won' vote
81. Election Upset in Queens, N.Y.
Achilles ,   Inverkip, Scotland   (09.14.11)
Is rael is America's 51st state. It's about time Obama realized that. I just hope voters in Palm Beach will remember that when they go to their polling stations.
82. Obama is not the problem
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (09.14.11)
Netanyahu is so scared to death of his right wing foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, the Vladimir Putin wannabe, that he has refused to engage in serious negotiations with the Palestinians and although a majority of his cabinet favored apologizing to Turkey, Netanyahu, in fear of Lieberman, refused. I have one thing to say to all the folks who believe Israel can do no wrong. If you wake up the day after the 2012 elections and Obama was defeated Israel's problems with Turkey, Egypt, the Palestinians, the rest of the Arab world, and Iran are not going to have changed one iota. Obama is not the problem. The problem is the current government of Israel that refuses to negotiate with the Palestinians. The Arabs do hate Israel but if there is a fair and just two State solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict you just might find that in time the hatred is changed to indifference, and I'll take apathy over boiling hatred any day of the week.
83. to no 2
Dennis ,   Frisco, TX, USA   (09.14.11)
invoke your God given liberty - vote with your feet. Search out a country that promotes liberty, move there, learn their language and customs and become one of them. Nothing is worse than living under tyranny.
84. Election and Obama
blancojoe ,   Meadowlakes, USA   (09.14.11)
Do you suppose Solyntra Boy will now opt to have his photo taken with Netenyahu? He has dumped on Israel time and time again, in words and deeds. Now he may want to make friends again with Jewish voters. I hope none of them are fooled again.
85. Reality
michaelpielet ,   boca raton, Israel   (09.14.11)
Religious Jews are big supporters of Israel. They rejected Obama's policies on Israel. In the rest of the US the number of Jewish voters is small and most of these Jews are assimilated helonim for whom support of Israel is not very important. Obama's reelection is based upon, ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID.
86. it's not only Israel
Maria ,   NY   (09.14.11)
it's easy to say that oh those jews only care about Israel. it'd be foolish for democratic party to say that. this election shows overall dissatisfaction with democratic party and their extreme leaning to the left.
87. We must protect Israel!
Incitatus ,   L.A.   (09.14.11)
Would robert jones give us a rational reason why?
88. jews live in USA not israel?
Incitatus ,   L.A.   (09.14.11)
Sue is one of the few Americans who's not been brain-washed to be able to learn the truth. No one ever said the truth will make you happy, only free. That's why America is known by the acronym ZOG. (Zionist occupied government)
89. Your Article
RON ,   Huntington, NY   (09.14.11)
Great article. It's about time the Jewish voters learn who their friends are in this country. This has bothered me for 50 years. I believe that now the Jewish people know and realize that they can affect a real change in our country's direction.
90. USA JEWISH VOTERS COME THRU!
DAVE TINCHER ,   CINCINNATI, USA   (09.14.11)
I AM A REPUBLICAN AND I AM SO PROUD THAT THE JEWISH DEMOCRAT VOTERS FINALLY SEE THE LIGHT ABOUT OBAMA! SUPPORT ISRAEL AND THE HOLY LAND...THANKS N.Y.
