My Quang Cao, a former officer in the army of South Vietnam and the father of U.S. Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao, has died in New Orleans at age 78, Cao's campaign said Thursday in a news release.

The cause of Cao's death on Wednesday was not listed but the statement said he had been battling diabetes, as well as post-traumatic stress syndrome resulting from his years as a prisoner following the fall of South Vietnam to the communists in 1975...

I can only imagine the hell guys like Cao, Sr. went through after the fall of Saigon.

What Cao’s father went through makes little difference to the confused state of his son... Cao Jr. is a silly RINO who goes about his way based only on his FEELINGS and makes bad decisions ... Republican or not Cao is not a reliable supporter of Conservative causes ... Unreliable Republican office holders ARE WORSE than electing Dems.

Yes or no... Does Cao have a duty to vote on issues the way that his constituents want?

I’m glad Mr. Cao was able to escape to America with his family.

Not in this case. He replaced the convicted and sentenced to 13 years in federal prison, Dollar Bill Jefferson. The D in the race is just as corrupt as the convicted felon Jefferson.

If Cao’s constituents are needy - liberal - non tax paying entitlement mentality - welfare sucking burdens - purposefully unemployed tax payer liabilities - then NO he does not have any need nor obligation to assist them ...

If Cao’s constituents are hard working, tax paying, loyal U.S. citizens who are working at a job and/or are working hard to get a job - then yes he does...

Most of Cao’s constituents are LEECHES... Parasites - they need to be weaned of the milk provided by taxpayers...

Cao is naive - ignorant of the realities of the world... unworthy of holding any public office.

Cao is so dumb he does not realize he is proposing SOCIALISM where others perpetually pay for the unwillingness of others to work for a living....

It makes no difference - Cao is not in reality — Americans DO NOT WANT TO PAY WELFARE for people who choose not to work ... or are so incapable as not to be able to find some sort of work... Cao is a naive FOOL...

The answer is no.

LA will almost certainly lose a seat in 2012. I was thinking that if Cao could hold on that he’d be in a better position but actually his is the least likely for the R’s to win.

So it could be 6-1 R, with a Dem holding the New Orleans seat. Possibly Obama’s Justice Dept. would try to force LA to pit 2 R’s against each other and give the Dem an easy ride to reelection, but a LA seat will have to hold about 750K residents.

New Orleans is good for 354K...someone suggested this district could be stretched to Baton Rouge...it could happen but the seat could still be competitive.

It looks like Jindal can run for reelection in 2011.

Mary Landrieu isn’t up until 2014.

“Mary Landrieu isn’t up until 2014.”

YOU’RE JOKING, right?

Mary “the terrorist” may have a name but she lacks LOYALTY. She spent an evening dining with terrorists in Dec09, on St.Charles. The ISNA was a major contributor to her campaign & she will be held accountable. Her “bro” is questionable as well.

Q is: Does he want to save his family name or not?

“Mary had a little jihad” is F’ed.

She’s Ka-PUT!

She burnt her roux, scolded the pot & she finished off by poisoning the dog with her ko-rap infested crotch.

She’s d-u-nn.

Dunn.

“Cao is a naive FOOL...”

Can it. This thread is about the guy’s father having just passed away, and from what is written about him, a good, good man, and all you can do is throw out vitriol against his son when his father has just died. You may call Cao a naive fool, but I’d place you a bit lower on the evolutionary scale than Cao, for your tasteless nastiness and poor timing by letting loose your own inner demons on this man while he mourns the death of his father.

I am a Vietnam Veteran and it does not matter what this politician’s father did or did not do ...

Regardless - Cao - the younger politician is still a naive silly fool... and he needs to learn REAL AMERICAN WAYS OF LIFE... Entitlement NO, Socialism NO, American Conservatism YES... it has little to do with his father ... rather just his FEEL GOOD Liberal application of mis-thought democracy.... WHICH IS NOT WANTED by Americans...

Cao just needs to get out of politics - period...

Maybe you need to also, for a little while. You are hyperventilating. And all those capitalized words in your comments indicate that. Calm down, and leave Cao alone to mourn without your rantings and ravings. You can start up again after the funeral is over.

Cao Senior should rest in peace - but this WHOLE Thread is just a ruse to gain sympathy for the politician son...

And the Politician Son - Cao Junior is a FOOL and a silly naive politician who is harmful to the USA...

Get over it - your silly ruse is not working...

Hmmm, if I were a shrink I would say this might have something do with the fact that Cao is Vietnamese and you are a Viet Nam Vet. Some residual bad feelings may be at play here towards the Vietnamese, as there is no rational reason for your unusual antagonism towards Cao. Perhaps you should dig deeper into your psyche for the true reasons as to your hostility. Just sayin.....

Cao juniopr is an ignorant enemy of the values of the United States.

Cao junior wants Socialistic programs, Cao junior wants working Americans to be forced to pay for non working people who happen to be in the U.S.

Cao junior is an obama supporter - who will vote again and again for leftist obama type programs ... Cao junior is only a conservative when compared to a Communist.

Vietnamese like Cao junior who come to America and bring with them Socialist - Communist ideologies are not welcome and should return immediately to Ho Chi Min City or Hanoi and STAY THERE...

Cao junior is NOT AN AMERICAN IN HIS HEART OR MIND,..

Aha, I was dead-on in my analysis of your true motivations. I’ll pursue this no further as your grudge is deep-seated and only a shrink could try to fix it. I’ll say no more on this subject as I now know what I am dealing with, which is something in your psyche I don’t wish to engage. I feel sorry for you, as you served your nation in war, but in peacetime it is obvious you are still locked into the past. I wish you well.
