Why are the American Jews Democrat?

Cuz they think he is their long awaited Messiah.

Ya know "Bernie", I wuz just askin my very Jewish friend Cletus Bob Junior that very question the other day after President Obama thowed Israel under the bus by holdin a nuke conference wif all the nuclear powers except Israel and North Korea and Iran. Ol Cletus Bob Junior he told me "Yep them Dimmycrats is thowin us Jews under the bus, so how come us Jews is still mostly Dimmycrats?" Then me and my very Jewish buddy Cletus Bob Junior we ate some bacon cheesburgers washed down wif milkshakes and went oyster fishin on the Delta.

EDIT: Ol Texas Joe knows when to apologize when I is wrong. Israel wuz indeed at the Washington Nuke Conference just not represented by its PM Bibi Netanyahu. But they warn't no NoKos there nor Iranians not even at the smallest level. But I wuz right about that skinhead who calls hisself "Bernie." No Jews or any other sensible American folks talks about the Fatherland. The problem wif WW2 wuz we didn't kill enuff Nazis. Yall are proof of that.

Jews are different and sometimes hated. Ask Mel Gibson.

If you're different and hated in the US, the Democratic party is the place to be because they protect the rights of those who are different.

Democrat Constituencies include:

African-Americans

Atheists

Latinos (Especially after the white backlash against immigration)

Muslim/Arab Americans (Especially after Bush policies)

Young Asian Americans

There is a reason Republicans are seen as a party of old white men.

Uh, Obama complained about the settlements, something a lot of Jews in Isreal are against.

I Jews are Democrats because they instinctively know that the Republicans are 'facist'. Thus, when Bush started detaining people without trial, torture, spying on people, begining a propaganda department, it is all too familiar to them.

Many of them see Israel as a side issue; instead, the issues to them are the same as to others in the USA---namely the economy first.

What? Do you have any sources to back up your claims on how Obama is "about to throw Israel under the bus." Don't just throw out random crap and expect RATIONAL people to believe you.

I can only speak for myself, but THIS Jew is far too educated to Vote for a Republican.

Some are Republican an other political affiliations also

it is fun party

I have no Idea.
