While they're probably not large enough to swing elections in most states, that is a big concern. Unlike Hispanics and blacks, you can't say Asians are voting Democrat for "economic reasons", especially since they often surpass white voters when it comes to being successful, educated, stable family, low crime rates, etc.

Interestingly enough, the only Asians I really know around here (southwest suburban Cook County) are Filipinos, and they seem to lean Republican because all the ones I know are over age 40 and very devout church-going Catholics (certainly more so than most of the cafeteria "Catholic" Hispanics I know). But I know they're hardly representative of "Asians" as a whole in America. Why would the RAT party so strongly appeal to people of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese ancestry? I don't get it.

That *is* interesting; Filipinos are overwhelmingly Democrat in HI (even more so than other Asian groups there) and in NV.

I live in Maryland where the last decade or so has been a massive introduction of South Koreans and I have been warning about this for a while. Queens NY was invaded first in the 1990s.

Common myths I am told is that they are Rs because they are hard working, own businesses and go to church. Well they all dont own businesses nor do they all go to church. many go to church.

In fact you can see their young adult kids driving their expensive daddy bought cars, smoking cigarettes and playing rap music. You know they are voting for O.

I find the PRC Chinese immigrants much more conservative than these people.

Let in a mass of immigrants all with a different culture and language and send their kids to public schools and you got a disaster.

Lastly, does the GOP reach out to anyone but white male baby boomers? I am not aware that they try.

It's all about the small business problem ~ the secretaries, the billing clerks, the dental technicians, the receptionists ~ a highly educated population with dentists, doctors, surgeons, economists ~ these guys all have anywhere from 2 to 25 employees ~ and they have to compete to get the best ~ because they want ONLY the best, and that means medical insurance.

Obama told them he was going to roll that burden over to the government and they wouldn't be bothered with it ~ nor would it run through their ever so precious cash flow (which is a concept that means something, but in certain quarters ~ small business ~ may well be something a little bit different, particularly the part you can avoid running through your accountant or your cash register).

The East Asians are suckers for this ~ their children less so. Three or four generations under their belt and they'll learn all about getting ripped off by street hustlers but that's a different story.
