Why Jews are Democrats
Right Wing News has a great post helping to dispel the myth of a Jewish conspiracy and why the US really supports Israel.
I personally have never understood why so many jews financially support only democrats and also tend to vote strictly among party lines favoring the Democratic candidates. When it comes to support of Israel, conservatives have alway been true friends by not only talking the talk but also by coming to Israel's defense in the way of arms, support, and money when it's been needed most.
When ever I've called a family member or friend on it and presented all the facts they're always at a loss to really express why they continue to support democrats. In my experience not one has ever suggested it was because of their support of liberal social causes as the Telegraph's article suggests.
The more you discuss it, in most cases they usually end up stating something like, "everyone on the right is anti-Semitic." I've found that its so deeply believed they won't change their mind no matter how much evidence they're presented with. It is this mis-belief that really stops more jews from supporting conservatives.

Well, maybe because many on the right ARE anti-Semitic.
Which I've found many of them to be just that.
I'm a registered Independent mind you.
