More republican whining: "It's mind boggling how Asians and Jews are a voting bloc for the Dems." [View all]

It's mind boggling how Asians and Jews are a voting bloc for the Dems.

Obama is obviously antagonistic towards Israel yet he gets 70% of the Jewish vote. Why? The Jewish population of America is probably the most prosperous demographic within any country anywhere on Earth. Obama is shitty to Israel, Jews have no interest in entitlements and Obama's policies towards business are antagonistic to Jewish business owners.

Yet, they voted for him at a 70% clip.

It's insane.

Same for Asians. 73% for Obama.

Asians and Jews don't need Obama for shite and because they are both magnificently prosperous demographics, voting for him actually works against them.

So WTF?

My favorite response:

It's pretty much every group except white men that vote for the Dems. There's nothing specific to these groups. Heck the "Other" category on race voted for the Dems at about a 75% clip.

Nearly every group votes Democratic except white men. The party targeting one specific racial group is the GOP, which is why they have such a demographic problem. White men are increasingly a smaller portion of the electorate (and really, they win old white men).


Romney even lost the "Other" vote!
