Indian don’t vote Democrat because of strong affiliation to Marxism or Socialism. That is preposterous.
Most Indians in US are concentrated on the east coast and the west coast, mostly in the big cities. And Indian voting pattern isn’t very different from any other population residing in those areas. They mix and socialize with American students, research grad or professionals in technology companies most whom already happen to be Democrats.
Secondly most Indians are Hindus. Strong radical Christian conservative behaviour, attitude, rhetoric and political discourse turns them off. Many Christians can’t even tolerate a Mormon (Romney) let alone tolerate a Hindu.
Also lets be honest, conservatives are not very immigrant friendly. More so if they are non-European and non-Christian (and Indians meet both those criteria). And conservatives haven’t done much to change that perception. There is no point complaining Indians don’t vote Republican when conservatives do everything to give out the impression that Indians are not wanted/welcomed in the US. Democrats at least put up the pretense of tolerating the immigrants. The Democrats go out of their way to woo the immigrants and Republicans do exactly the opposite. That is the single most important reason for not voting Republican.
You want Indians to vote Republican? Embrace Indians as “ideal immigrants”. Say some nice things about Indians on camera. Talk about trade, scientific, energy cooperation and strategic alliance with India. Dump the usual outsourcing nonsense and you will see Indians lining up behind you in droves. Bush was very popular in India and Sarah Palin was extended a special invite to talk at the Times of India conference.
Its not impossible.
I simply pointed out that they overwhelmingly support Democrats because they are Socialists.
I'm quite interested in your counter-theory about why they vote for Democrats.
If I understand correctly, the fact that they were born, raised, and often educated in a Socialist country has no bearing on their political principles.
Instead, after moving to large coastal American cities and working and socializing with Democrats, they vote Democrat.
That strikes me as, well, incredible.
Your comments on Conservative Christians describe people I have never met or spoken to in person, although I would not be surprised if Hard Left MSM news networks “discover” such people every week.
It's very disappointing to learn that Indians have pre-judged 50 million Americans based on news reports written by Democrat political activists.
Your idea that Democrats “go out of their way to woo the immigrants” is absurd.
The Dems ONLY embrace immigrants who vote Democrat.
Democrats have been trying to shut down Cuban immigration for 40 years!
Gosh, I wonder why?
By the way, what did Republicans do to woo the Cubans?
Please don't answer that - I grew up in south Florida in the 50’s and 60’s, and the GOP did absolutely nothing to woo them.
Indians are just like you and me and the Cubans, ravager.
All of us vote our political principles.
The rest is baloney.
