The old school was that republicans love money and democrats love the minority. however that has changed demacrats today love power and they will do anything they can to grab it, and republicans still have some self-respect and treat even the minority’s like humans. thats the reality today. so vote republican (unless its locall election-like David Greenfield)

Yossi, you talk and talk but the main factor you forgot “Judge Linda R Reade” is a republican and was nominated by George W Bush. So please cut you agenda and stay on the facts “They all hate us”

After living thru myself the era of communism with its brutal behavior to innocent people, I am seeing a repetition of that wickedness in the great democratic nation of the United States . It is none other than the Justice system and their judges, who have an open hand and power to divert the truth , to serve their own objectives. It is an outmost danger and failure to the nation. The average taxpayer belives that their goverments are here to protect them from danger. So, it is the medias obligation to inform the people, of their goverment’s miscarriage of justice. So, please, keep on writing and posting your articles in many different sites and continuesly non-stop, maybe it will reach to the voters in time.

There is no “frum” party. Republicans may be more pro-religion than Democrats, but their public records show that they are far better liked by multi-national corporations equipped with lobbyists that ensure that their interests and NOT those of the American people are protected in Congress and in the House of Reps. Republicans vote against public health care (yes, Medicaid/Medicare is gov’t supported health care. also I’ve lived in Israel and the U.S. and I personally think it’s kind of nice that people aren’t left to die on the streets in Israel -somehow that just seems right!), against better financial regulation (i.e. derivatives trading = gambling), and support the continuation of corn subsidies in the Farm Bill (they get a lot of campaign contributions for that one) knowing that means that mega-agriculture (i.e. Food, Inc.) will continue to poison the public with cattle they have been grown in CAFO’s where they are fed a mixture of GMO corn (good for Monsanto, bad for us), dead animals (not joking), and given anti-biotics non-therapeutically (that why those anti-biotics don’t work on us anymore!). Republicans are tough on crime because it gets them votes and makes them money (they own a lot of those privately owned prisons). However, the wisdom of keep individuals who have committed non-violent misdemeanor crimes in prison (more than 1/3 of the prison population) is questionable to say the least and costs taxpayers a pretty penny. It might be interesting to note that while crime has gone down over the past 50 years, the prison population has unpropotionately exploded (leading many states including CA to rething their 3 strikes law). Look, I’m not a bleeding heart liberal…I do not think Democrats are angels…but if it were not for the issue of the security of the State of Israel (which Republicans clearly have a better record of supporting), I would question why any frum Yid would vote Republican. They may be more religious but I am of the opinion that at the end of the day the only thing they worship is MONEY.

justice Reade used the judical guidlines and reffered to it as her bible only when it called for harsh sentences, but when those same guidlines called for leniency (for example: a person who has a sick child, or one who contributed much to the community etc.) she ignord them! now thats a real lib!

Your article is right on the mark but no offense to what i will write, but something I heard from a rosh yeshiva when i brought these type of examples and ideas up with a rosh yeshiva about two years ago and it basically went like this.

We are idiots because we don’t vote and the ones that do keep on voting in liberals and democrats which these days do nothing for america or the jewish people.

If Hitler ym”s was running in a election today i guarantee you that 80% of the orthodox voters would go to Hitler. More than 75% of jews nationwide voted for Obama and now some of these people cry and some still say we did not give enought time or a chance for Obama to do good things!

Obama had personally got involved with the Rubashkin case by making nasty comments two years ago in August and you can find the nasty anti semitic comments on youtube.

Obama will go down in history as worse than Carter. Carter thanks the lor-d for people like Obama because his record will be nmothing compared to what United States will look like in two years.

I give up in saying we should smarten up when it comes to voting. Like Rabbi Levin says many times we are to down the toilet to change anything and we are just stupid and everyone thinks they know better.

I think a Republican America would force major changes in the Kollel system(where Bitachon on programs is the current mindset), Yeshiva curricula and would probably neccesitate decrease of family size. This might popularize the Tora U’Mada/YU philosophy, affecting a slight shift to the left religiously.
