This is emblematic of the challenge: Obama Overwhelmingly Won Asian-American Vote
National Journal ^ | November 8, 2012 | Shane Goldmacher

President Obama carried 73 percent of the Asian vote on Tuesday, continuing a two-decade-long march of Asian-Americans toward the Democratic Party in presidential politics.

Obama improved his performance among Asian-Americans more than among any other ethnic group between 2008 and 2012, according to exit polling. His support in the community jumped 11 percentage points, from 62 percent in 2008.

The 73 percent support that Obama garnered was the highest since national exit polls began tallying the Asian vote, and it marked the fifth straight presidential election in which the Democratic nominee attracted a greater share of the Asian-American vote.

President Clinton won only 31 percent of the Asian-American vote in 1992. His vice president, Al Gore, was the first Democrat to capture a majority of the community, with 54 percent support when Gore ran for president in 2000...

You support my position by implicitly asserting an Asian recognition that Christianity is a manifestation of Western culture. Repeat Asians resent the West as do other THird World “persons.”

No, they don’t see that association. Explain the Jews, then.

How can this be fixed?

They wanted free stuff as well. The newer generations are usually on the dole in some way or some of their family are.

I will take your word, that you are not writing in anger. But you will admit--indeed, you suggest the idea in your response--that you are dealing with an evil that can evoke considerable anger, when one first wakes up to it.

I will still offer you another suggestion. When seeking to awake those not already on our side, you minimize the theological argument--it raises other issues--and focus on explaining why even in the most temporal terms, the tactics & issues which the Left employs are beyond any question, moral or simply psychological, appeals to all that is base & ignoble in the human personality. It is the message of evil to be sure, but it is absolutely poisonous to those afflicted by it, whatever their views of a Higher Power.

Anyway, please accept my apology if my previous post offended you. You would have been justified, in my view, being angry, even if you were not.

Obama voters are just like conservative voters.
They want the same stuff that conservatives want.

The difference is that they just are not as into

ACTUALLY WORKING TO GET IT

as we are.

Knowing that Obama's crowd would be putting asian-Americans into the ovens first, the question is just what is it that attracted that particular vote?

I'd suggest the preponderance of small business owners and service professionals (doctors/dentists/accountants) in the various AA communities.

They all have employees ~ and health care insurance costs are a big picture on the bottom lines of those small firms.

Obama promised to relieve them of that burden.

That's why I think the first guy to go to prison for trying to cheat on that insurance penalty will be a Chinese American doctor, probably in San Francisco.

BTW, another reason for the stats is the inclusion of Indian Americans. Outside a small handful, virtually all of their families were Congress party people, and they identify the Democrats with Congress ~ just like those Eastern PA hereditary Democrats.

Then, too, all the Pakistanis are supporting him out of sense of Moslem solidarity.

Which ones? Do you perhaps mean Solt Sa’ami? Do they vote for Democrats ~ do they even self-identify? Do they know?

I appreciate the suggestions, but your assumptions that I am devoid of the simple understanding of human psychology and etiquette—does make me laugh. It is my forté!

I do not go up to others and talk like I post. Are you serious? This forum is for like-minded, God-Fearing people who understands Marxism and evil.

My Common Sense and understanding of philosophy and psychology—really makes it extremely easy for me to get along and have fun times with almost anyone. I see God in everyone-—unless they are extremely evil people and then I don’t even bother to talk to them.
