You have to hand it to David Harris. He has a lot of chutzpah…misguided, for sure, but chutzpah nonetheless!

This is one of those few times that I have to agree with all of the comments so far. Basically, David Harris is full of cr@p.

On another note, my dear fellow Jews, PLEASE learn to spell correctly when you write comments. The importance of what you say is diminished by horrible spelling. Maybe I’m the only one who notices this but that’s the effect it has on me and therefore possibly on others as well. I’m not referring to typing mistakes like “u” instead of “you” (while I don’t care for that outside of tweets and IMs, it does seem to be an accepted shortcut). I’m talking about real typos.

Back on subject… Please G-d, let Romney win this election. I fear for the future of the USA and Israel if we get another four years of Obama.

It sounds to me that David Harris is out of touch with the majority of American Torah Jews.

Who is he trying to fool? The vast majority of the frum Jewish world will be voting Republican. Those that don’t have identity issues…

Does this guy seriously think Jews will vote for OBAMA??!? Not only is he anti-simetic, he is anti everything we hold to be good and moral and truthful. Obama, plainly put, is an obamanation!

On the contrary, with the changing demographics of the Jewish community, the Democrats overwhelming commitment to abortion, mandatory contraception (in Obamacare – it has the same status as measles vaccines), gay marriage, and persecution of religious groups that don’t accept the Democrats’ sexual and religious beliefs – the Jewish vote is highly likely to continue its shift to the Right. The reason their polls don’t show it is they are counting as Jewish persons with no religious and social connections to the Jewish community as being Jewish. For the Democrats to keep the Jewish vote, they will have to appeal to self-interest (keep your entitlements, and your patronage, and your earmarks) over appeals to morality, and hope that Jews don’t remember that the Democrats’ style of fiscal mismanagement is what led to Hitler coming to power in Germany.

Just a desperate Democrat attempt to seed some more hatred into a hateful Chicago-style Campaign. As anyone with a half a brain would tell you- nothing in this Op-Ed has any substance.
For example: Just because someone is registered as a Republican and throws a dumb comment- does not mean the party is using is as a platform. With every single GOP party member denouncing this member – obviously proves that this DemoRat is pinning himself on a Gotchya moment – which will, with Hashems help dissipate along with the Democrats bankrupt agenda…

stupidest article I have ever seen!

If the bar for Jewish support is government subsidies then you vote democrat across the board even if they want to wipe Israel off the map (which I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama does)

However, if you equate Jewish with Israel, Romney’s VP pick is strongly pro-Israel and hence strongly pro-Jewish

To say Ryan is horrible for the Jewish vote is understandably a democratic view more than a Jewish view
