When the Dems start really ramping up federal government discrimination (jobs, education, grants, loans) against Whites and Asians, in favor of African Americans and Latinos, and secondly in the case of the Indians, as Obongo saddles up closer and closer to Pokkeestahn and the Crescent Moon and Star, why of COURSE they are going to dump him vast numbers.
Also, a lot of those Asians fled brutal Communist countries in the mid and late 1970s, like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Red China, so it is also a given the more his Bolshevism shows at home and abroad, they are not in large measure going to have any stomach for it. It is a great political sub market to appeal to in 2010 and 2012 IMHO, although no need to pander condescendingly like the Democrat; this segment of the population are very pro-family and pro-business, are slim and in good shape from self-discipline, diet and metabolism, so they are tired of taking care of the medical costs of overweight Americans through Socialist Obamacare, they already speak English for the most part, and hard-working, and most have come to the USA to really add something rather than just leech at hospitals and county welfare agencies. They sound like natural conservative Republicans to me already. I think so many of them are Americans First, so we can also drop the hyphenated business, too, and be One for a change.
Personally, I find it highly ironic that so very, very many Asians come to the USA fleeing communist/socialist regimes, and then vote for collectivist tickets of Democrats. What’s up with that; don’t they ‘get it’?
I am certain this is happening. They work too hard and are too smart to see their money being taken by a bunch of dummies.
The Indians I work with (IT functions, mostly) are notoriously Democrat. Emigrating brown peoples seem to naturally gravitate to the Democrat party, since it already has a large “minority” membership.
However, once they start paying taxes and begin to see the socialism and set-asides that are rampant in India, they begin to realign themselves.
1997 NJ Governor -- Whitman (R) + 1.05%
1993 NJ Governor -- Whitman (R) + 1.04%
I thought Whitman was considered quite popular for a New Jersey Republican. The much larger margin that Christie won by came from somewhere.
What a difference just one year can make!
