Shame on Democrats
Gallup Poll shows support for Israel by Americans is at its highest since the Gulf War. But --
77 percent of Republicans support Israel, as opposed to only 50 percent of Democrats. Americans who follow the news tend to support Israel more than those who are not as in tune with global affairs by a ration of 66 to 59 percent.Too many Dems are in thrall to the far-left anti-Israel wing of the party and are not even following world events.
For shame. On so many levels.

I support Israel. Totally. Even if they don't like me, they have the support of Christians as well. That must make the Devil quite unhappy.

I went and looked up some polls on this -- apparently you should be criticizing independents:
Sympathy for Israel peaks among Republicans at 64 percent, compared to 38 percent of Democrats and 32 percent of independents. Democrats and independents are far more likely to volunteer that they don't sympathize with either side.
I have no idea what this means. In any case, it's kind of striking that Democrats tend to still win about 3/4 of the Jewish vote. Perhaps Jews are aware that the evangelical Christians are just fattening them up to eat them (events in Israel prophecied to precede the Rapture are what I'm metaphorically referring to).
