Very interesting video by Mitchell Bard, PhD.
Over 80% of Orthodox Jews vote Republican and Conservative. Secular Jews vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. The reasons are simple. Orthodox Jews live by conservative values and care deeply about Israel. Secular Jews live by progressive values, and in spite of what they claim, they do not care about the Jewish state. Finally, Orthodox Jews already have G-d. Secular Jews seek G-d in their political leaders, hence the unseemly cult of personality that catapulted Obama to the presidency.
However, secular Jews are in a demographic death spiral. A recent survey of Jews in New York City revealed that secular Jews are not having children at a replacement rate, whereas Orthodox and Hasidic Jews are reproducing at such a high level that 74% of Jewish children in N.Y. are Orthodox.
In the next few decades, the Jewish people will be overwhelmingly Torah observant Jews who will vote Republican.
We are witness to the beginning of the end of the Jewish liberal.

I remember a talk years ago from a state Senator, H.L. Richardson, on how small percentages can make huge influence on an election. It was a fascinating talk and I’m afraid after 20 some years forget how the numbers worked – but they can work.

Egads, Robert, this is playing right into their hands! Next, we’ll see commentary that the Jews are taking over the voting in America! It’s a Jewish Conspiracy I tell you!!

Why did George Bush Senior lose so much of the Jewish vote in 1992?

Ted: His very tought position on the loan guarantees to Israel, his bullying of Shamir, and the comments of his Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, which were widely construed as anti-Semitic. It was the only time in my life I voted Democrat for president.

And you can add widespread lip-reading to the mix.

Taxes were not a specifically Jewish complaint.
