Jews: Republicans aren't our kind of people

By Jennifer Rubin, on why few Jews vote Republican: The dustup over the location of Mitt Romney's presidential announcement — the Henry Ford Museum — may be revealing... Ford, of course, was a notorious anti-Semite... The GOP has become a rural, overwhelmingly Christian and Southern party. It is not populated by urban ethnics who, even if they aren't Jewish, understand Jews' cultural references and sensibilities... the Republicans are not just our kind of people, many Jews say. They don't sound like us, they don't talk like us and they don't understand us. Unless and until that changes, Jews likely will likely be voting overwhelmingly Democratic for years to come.

Hmmm.

I'm Jewish.

I also vote Republican.

Guess that blows your theory out of the water.
 
No, it doesn't. It just means you're one of the few. The GOP got about 12% of the Jewish vote in the 2006 election.
