Tommy ChristopherJews Like Obama Better Than Lieberman, McCain
Who knew?
A recent poll of Jewish voters shows that, not only do American Jews like Obama more than Senator Joseph Lieberman, they like him a lot more. From HuffPo:
Something else I've learned is the number 1 rule of polling data: Always read the whole report. Obama is beating McCain in favorability among Jews by an even greater margin, with McCain viewed favorably by 34%, and unfavorably by 57%.
In fact, Obama had a higher favorability rating than every person or organization on the list, except one: "your local Jewish Federation."
Turns out, American Jews really, really like Obama. They plan to vote for Obama 62-32. Maybe it's because 86% of the survey's respondents answered affirmatively to this question:
A recent poll of Jewish voters shows that, not only do American Jews like Obama more than Senator Joseph Lieberman, they like him a lot more. From HuffPo:
Only 37 percent of Jews view the Connecticut Independent in a favorable light compared to 48 percent who have a negative perception. As for Obama, 60 percent of Jews view him favorably while 34 percent view him unfavorably.This poll is a great example of what happens when you ignore the bigmouths and actually talk to the people.This poll is a great example of what happens when you ignore the bigmouths and actually talk to the people. Why wouldn't American Jews favor a candidate with a more even-handed, less belligerent Israeil policy?
Obama, who is set to travel to Israel this week, is often described in the press as facing significant obstacles to winning Jewish support, in part because of false claims that he is a Muslim. Lieberman, meanwhile, is regularly quoted disparaging Obama's credentials on topics considered dear to the Jewish voter's heart: toughness on Iran and support for the Jewish state. Asked recently whether he should be questioning Obama's commitment to Israel, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee responded, "why wouldn't I do that?"

Would you support or oppose the United States playing an active role in helping the parties to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict if it meant the United States publicly stating its disagreements with both the Israelis and the Arabs?This poll is very good news for Obama, since his world tour takes him to Israel today, focusing attention on what many thought was a weakness. As has been the case all week, this turns it into another strength

I guess they haven't spoken to any of the older ones in South Florida. The poll didnt include that population i guess. Even Jon Stewart had a piece on it last night.
South Florida old jews just will not vote for him.

Yes, I am Jewish. Saying that though,I do not plan to vote for Obama. A majority of the Jewish people are of the Liberal organizations, (i.e.ACLU, Greenpeace and any other organization that allows people to receive something for nothing such as welfare. What an abuse that is.Yes,the Republicans are for businesses, I realize that, but without these businesses we would go totally broke. What we need is to get rid of foreign companies that control some of our companies. To set the record straight, I am, a Business Owner, a Conservative Republican, and a Conservative Jew, GO McCain for 2008.

another bs aol report.
Im Jewish, and Im voting for McCain.
If some of you liberal Jews would just see that our original homeland will be destroyed with a Liberal pro Muslim president in office, then maybe youd feel the same.
Jews are usually liberal because of the civil rights movements. Thats such bs. There a many more conservative ideas that help the Jewish people. Foreing Policy, Tax Cuts on the Wealthy and Middle Class etc.....
Get rid of the hollywood mentality and wake up.

AMERICAN ESCAPISM
Well friends have you seen the latest Batman, Ironman, X-Men, Shadow or any of the other Comic Strip Super Hero’s who are now on the Movie Screens or have been near you?
Now, don’t be shy, millions of your fellow Americans are looking for the true way to Escape the American Nightly Nightmare, from talking heads on (MSNBC or FOX) if Bill O’Reilly is going to be number (1 thru 3) of the Worse Persons in the World, as so designated by another (NYC) New York City teleprompter reading over paid media excuse for a reporter. Or, going to the Inter-Net to be faced with the same bias so called bloggers. Like Tommy Christopher or Others with there pushing of an agenda.
So, were are we going and what are we doing to escape
the (NYC) New York City and Washington, D.C. nit wits? The Soaps where were waiting to see who is going to be who’s next husband and who is going to be who’s next wife, the musical country dance of change your partner and grab her ……………. By the hand. Were viewer’s still have a say in something, as if the rich back guy’s wife doesn’t fit the mold to meet expectations its off she goes, and the writers pay attention.
Or, we look for the man that is so bad he’s good, like the new “Canadian” Program Burn Notice, the guy who burns the rule book to get back what was his, but is so bad he’s the good guy playing now against a Skin Job from another “Canadian” Program “Battle Star Galactia”. , a guy from a dysfunctional family, not the prefect kid, with the perfect back ground and not in (NYC) New York City. Or, another “Canadian” Program, Pushing Up Daisies”, or “Star Gate Atlantis” were Canadians were the Red, White, and Blue fighting the bad guys.
Or, we go to the Brits on (BBC) for “Torchwood” and Captain Jack Harkness a “Canadian” or his mentor “The Doctor” of Dr. Who, or Robin Hood or many of the other’s were a difference is made by the Good Guy. The Average Joe, the Smuck, the not so type “A” personality. Or, DANCING WITH THE STARS, another (BBC) production.
The point is were all just sick and tired of (NYC) New York City, and Washington, D. C., and the better than thou view of not only the rest of the Untied States but of the World, and Americans are escaping view “Canada and the UK”, we just don’t want to hear it anymore. Democratic and Republicans so what? Hillary and Obama so what? Obama and McCain so what? (MSNBC and FOX) so what?
BATMAN, SUPERMAN (TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY), SPIDER MAN, THE SHADOW (WHO KNOW WHAT EVIL LERKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN THE SHADOW KNOWS) THE X-MEN, WHO SHOT JR? Any day over (NYC) New York City, Washington, D. C., and the media talking heads on and off line.

Your not wrong but you are not fully correct. There is a vast difference between Small "c" capitalism and big "C" Capitalism. The Japanese practice small "c" capitalism, the man at the top of a Japanese Organization only earns and that is with total compensations a certain percentage more that the lowest man in his organization.
This country is practicing Capital "C" Capitalism, were the sky is not the limit but outer space is the goal of each and every corporate leader in Capital "C" Capitalism America. The lowest man in the organization may not even be an American and paid whatever the organization wants below rate.
The reason so many other nationalities hate the JEW is they are and alway have been Capital "C" Capitalist. It's not Illegal and in all truth it's what business in America is about. But, it still doesn't make it the right thing to do.
Just because local laws present RENT CONROL, doesn't mean that a JEWISH owner should exercise his RIGHT to raise the RENTS, to the maximum amount allowed under the laws, it's legal but it doesn't make it right.
JEWS are also seen as the problem in the middle east now, with its threat against IRAN, the preemptive strike, either will be made by Israel or Israel wants the United States to do the dirty deed. And, remain in IRAQ, as a buffer between The Jewish People and Persia.
A turning point is going to be reached soon, the United States can't have Jewish Capital "C" Capitalism continue, and we can't remain as a buffer between to groups who hate each other Israel and Persia.
There is a difference between (NYC) New York City, Jewish practiced Capital "C" Capitalism, and normal small "c" outside of (NYC) capitalism, between reasonable and outer space and the solar system profit.
Because you can doesn't mean you should!

A recent Gallup poll of Jewish voters found that Hillary Clinton would do slightly better than Barack Obama in a race against John McCain.
By Ron Kampeas Published: 05/08/2008
In keeping with Barack Obama's comeback narrative this week, a new poll shows that the U.S. senator from Illinois is running about as strong as Hillary Clinton is among Jewish voters -- though the survey also shows the Republican candidate poised to make gains.

The "I will stand with Muslims" quote is an out of context statement derived from page 261 of Audacity where Obama references Arab and Palestinian Americans.
