The Jerusalem Post reports that "US Jews contribute half of all donations to the Democratic Party," and 25% of those to the Republican National Convention. I knew the Democrats relied heavily on Jewish voters for money, but I didn't realize it was this much. But this confirms my suspicions of why the DNC is running out of cash--they've alienated their Jewish supporters. The rest of the article discusses why American Jews are so liberal. Per the article, and of note for Republicans, is that American Jews are so liberal that the majority believe it is more important to kill babies than to support Israel; so no matter how much the Republican's support Israel, it is not likely to sway Jewish voters to switch parties.
Maybe six parties next election.
ReplyDeleteI saw a funny meme recently that listed the three American parties controlling the House of Representatives: the main party being AIPAC with a couple rump parties called Democrats and Republicans.
