Any Jew that votes for McCain/Palin would be a hipocrite.

I'm guessing that becasue of the treasonous Lieberman, most educated Jews will vote for Obama.

Leiberman hates black people.
He stands by smiling behind the racist Republican Palin and says nothing when reacist remarks are yelled by the crowds as he campaigns for the Republican candidates.

How can any real Jew vote for Obama - a Muslim who hangs with the likes of Lewis Faracon? Obama would nuke Isreal at the first opportunity.

As a Jew and a Democrat at that, I will be voting for the Republicans this year. I will not vote for a candidate who surrounds himself with advisers hostile to Israel and who for years maintained close ties, both personal and political, to anti-semites.

Many of my fellow Jews, comfortable in the cocoon of upper middle class America willfully blind themselves to the unpleasant truth. This year their numbers will not include me.

A prominent geneology website has just discovered that Sarah Palin is at least 50% Jewish. Her Mother is of Jewish ancestry, but also her Dad has a Jewish line through his maternal Grandmother. This is amazing news, and will certainly throw Florida to the Republicans.

The fact that Lieberman can talk positively about Palin's values shows, yet again, what a hypocrite he is. I'm assuming (hoping?) that he lauded her before the findings of the bipartisan commission in Alaska were released.

As was mentioned in the article, not every Jewish person in America is most concerned about Israel. As a Jewish voter, I can say that it is one of many concerns. I am as, or more, concerned about the economy, my children's ability to go to college, health care, the environment, the United States' standing in the world, the abrogation of rights under the Bush administration, etc.

Obama will not sell out Israel. In fact, he is probably more likely to be able to revive talks between Israel and its neighbors than McCain -- the talks that broke down so completely under Bush.

For countless reasons, I will vote for Obama. For nearly as many reasons, I will never vote for Lieberman.

Heh! You think that's cute? Nancy Pelosi's husband is Jewish. I guess she'll be voting Republican too. No... wait, she already did vote Republican for the Wall Street bailout bill remember?

Two Lieberman's walk into a bar...
No, wait.

Shmooze? What shmooze? The state of Israel will get free money from the American taxpayer regardless who is selected pResident and whether or not Israel ends its Apartheid practices. Such a deal!

Educated people of all races and religions realize that Israel is America's best and most reliable ally in a complex Middle East. We also realize that unqualified support for everything Israel will ultimately draw us into a larger Middle East conflict at some point. We need a solution to the Middle Eastern problem, and Obama (and Jimmy Carter) understand this and therefore reach out to our enemies there. We are not going to suppress one billion or more muslims militarily. People of Jewish faith, if they really care about the future of Israel, better think about this demographic . . .

Let's face it. If Obama was any other race with the qualifications he has, he wouldn't have even been nominated by his own party. His qualifications wouldn't even meet the minimum standards to run a Fortune 500 company, needless to say the United States.

With his questionable associations with people of corruption, racism, Muslim belief's and terrorism, this raises additional questions to his ability to "do right" by American citizens.

Obama quote: "When I started this campaign, I wasn't sure that I was going to be the best of candidates. But what I was absolutely positive of was that there was the possibility of creating the "best organization". The way great things happen is when people are willing to submerge their own egos and focus on a common task. That's my old organizing mind-set. It's not just a gimmick, it's not just a shtick. I actually believe in it."

So, here he even admits he isn't the best candidate to run the country. This is a stark difference to the personality he portray's in his rallies and speeches.

His background speaks for itself. He has very little experience in government and allot in organizing a community. The obvious difference is... the United States is not a small community and the same priciples would not be effective.

But of course Sarah Palin was mayor of a town of 7,000 and at state with half a million people, and that qualifies her with "executive experience" to run the country? Oh, and she can actually see Russia from across the Bearing Straight, let's not forget that ...

What makes you think if Sarah Palin can slander Obama on being a muslim terrorist that she won't turn against people of Jewish faith once in office? She represents the exact opposite of what jews believe in. Second, does anyone here agree accusing obama of being a muslim is racist in itself? It's another word for saying the N-word.

You know, it's lies like this that expose your ignorance.

That, and your inability to spell.
