no.

Yes, I'm all for it!  Jews are taken for granted: both Repubs and Demos assume we'll vote for the latter no matter what. 

Jew: be smart and hedge your bets.  Republicans would have to take the opinion of Jews more seriously if they knew that the Jewish vote was in play and that $$$s were coming their way.  Jim (fk the Jews) Baker would never have earned the monicker of he knew Jewish votes were really at stake.  At the same time. Democrats, with the Jewish vote always in their back pocket, own a license to behave in ways potentially inimical to Jewish interests (such as Israel).

On the other hand, I'm more of a northeastern (Giuliani) republican. That is I'm for law and order and balanced budget.  I believe affermative action and welfare generally debilitate rather than it helps.  However I'm lukewarm on social agendas: I'm all for family, but sort of neutral on abortion (though 

White Christians have been our problem for a pretty long time. Should we worry about their intentions? Hell yes. These repugnant moneyed WASPs aren't your friends, they look down on you. There are still restricted clubs (guess which party affiliation most of the members hold) and there is still the intense desire to convert or simply wipe out you and your children and your grandchildren. You're the token Jew they bring up to waive away the anti-semitism when people call them on.

The Republicans are the party of Big White Money, Invasive Government and Fascist Christianity. Pretty soon, you "Taft Republicans" are going to find yourselves administering a giant, taxpayer funded revival meeting.

You should jump ship and form a real fiscal conservative, trust-busting, small government party rather than holding hands with the devil for a shot at power he'll never give you.

I'm not so much for Jews to vote Republican as much as I am for Jews not to vote obligatory Democrat. I just went to a family party and the Bush Derangement Syndrome there was through the roof. It's as if they believe that Bush is more evil than Saddam and that crazy midget in Iran.

Here's a hint: Use the evangelicals, we already know Christ isn't coming back, let them believe he is, and let them support Israel either way. Better to have mislead friends than devoted enemies.

still.

Roth's story turned on the old saw: just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Agree that we should not live/vote our fears. Agree that the two parties are barely distinguishable. Still, I can't imagine voting for the party that wants to dismantle our social safety nets and cast us further adrift from the first world: health care, child care, capital punishment, women's reproductive choice, education, vacation.

As an Evangelical Christian I would simply like to say that it would would probably benefit most of our Jewish friends if they simply
sat down and listened to what the Evangelical community is actually
saying about Israel and the Jews. Mainstream Evangelical Christians
have embraced the Jews. We believe that G-- will bless those
who bless Israel and curse those who curse them. We know that the the Jews are G--- chosen people and we want to support them. Would
we like for Jewish friends to open their hearts to our Savior? Of
course we would, but we know that no one can be forced to believe
something they won't accept. Our responsibility is to love and
support Israel and although there may be a few among us who don't,
the overwhelming majority of us do. [And may I say it is no secret,
although I'm sure the Democrats would love for you to think so.]
I also think that it is becoming more apparent everyday that the
Democratic party is pro-Arab and anti-Israel. I think there are a
number of Jews ready and willing to cut their noses off
to spite their faces.

The anonymous comment "Look Around" seems a bit harsh. Actually, it feels a bit psychotic. "White Christians" aren't the problem, and they certainly aren't "against" Jews, though I would agree that Christianity has historically been misused as a vehicle of oppression against Jews. Perhaps it's just people misappropriating Christianity for their own use. Like another anonymous comment says ("Wasps"), the evangelical Christians actually support Jews, even if their support of them comes out of a sometimes seemingly creepy fascination with end-times or apocolyptic teachings (but, who cares -- they really do honor and respect, even revere, Jews as God's chosen people). My point: let's not lump all Christians into one negative stereotype or we will start turning them against Jews.

I will admit that some Evangelicals are kind of looney but its not like we have Christian suicide bombers blowing up Synagogues.

I know for a fact that many Chrisitan groups donate money to Israel. Some of you need to check out Israelmilitary.net.

Two words: Zbignew. Actually I count it as three. So how 'bout now?

Some of my Catholic and Christian friends ask me why do Jews vote
Democratic or why are they liberal.  Economically it doesn't make
sense.  There is a strong undercurrent of liberalism and minority
thinking in our voting pattern.  I have been voting Republican most of
my life.  I simply disagree with most positions of the Democratic
Party.  In this election I will be voting Republican again.  I have no
real idea of what Obama stands for, I tend to think he is an extreme
liberal or worse, and I remember Hillary hugging Mrs. Arafat and I
believe Dick Morris's account of Hillary being anti Jewish.

 At
this point in history the Democrats sadly are the closeminded people. 
They do not tolerate any dissent.  If Obama were to be elected it will
be interesting to see how "white america" reacts and the effect it
would have on affirmative action programs since having a black american
in office would be somewhat of a turning point in assuming that blacks
are being discriminated against.  

 My larger criticism is for
those who are afraid of or rant against Evangelicals.  These are often
very hard working good people who have one or two strongly held beliefs
which run counter to today's culture.  Namely they are anti abortion
and have strong beliefs in religion.  No, I do not appreciate it when
some of them say that unless you accept Christ you are going to hell
when you die.  But if you look at their actions you would be hard
pressed to find any real hatred or dislike of Jews on their part.  If
you look at a representative sample of African Americans on the other
hand you are going to find their views opposed to the views of most
Jewish Americans.  Not to stereotype but they are for more government
entitlements, affirmative action, pro Palestinian and anti Jewish.

 Unfortunately,
to quote someone, there is not a dime's worth of difference in what is
going to happen whoever gets elected.  Other countries are rapidly
achieving our standard of living and this nation's preeminence is
declining relatively.  The values that Jews have for social justice,
education and Israel are not shared by many people.  

 The war seems to have become less important than the economy as
a voting issue although I would bet that most Jews are against it. 
Looking back I was for the war at the start and won't say now that I
wasn't.  I don't think there is too much Bush could have done
differently at the time to make matters better.   When other Jews tell
me they are against the war and I ask them what should have been done
they usually say nothing or that they were for the war in Afghanistan
but against it in Iraq. This all overlooks the factors that led to the situation that Bill Clinton helped create and that is why I am voting Republican.

Lieberman is "very liberal"?! You're out of your mind.
