I would not believe much from
A Daily Koz propaganda piece.
Second ,
So few people stop and have time to complete these exit polls they are worthless !
Junk science easily skewed by the left to ram thru there agenda !
2004 landslide Kerry was based on exit pollers!
Garbage in garbage out
I am not sure anyone is really reading the polls on this, or listening. Asian-Americans are VERY socially liberal. This isn’t an economic issue so much as a social one. They overwhelmingly favor gay marriage and abortion. This isn’t a demographic we are going to get ... or want.
Sad but very very true.
Ultimately, the question is this: Why would you expect people from authoritarian societies with zero tradition of limited-government or respect for individual liberties to vote for a party that (supposedly) epitomises these values?
In short, Asians vote for Democrats because their whole political tradition is basically one of dictators, emperors, and government control of every aspect of life. They’re just voting for what they know.
I already regret this quip, but what the hey: They have a slanted way of looking at things.
demographics bump for later.........
Asians believe in Santa Claus too! Everybody loves freebies and they knew Barry would give them plenty of freebies.
It was because Obama was born in Hawaii, which is in Asia.
In the early 90s, Asians had first-generation and fresh first-hand memories of communist rule in Viet Nam and China. I personally know Viet Namese people who have shared their incredible tales of fleeing communist tyranny. Many Asians in American also had relatives living under tyranny.
Now we are 1-1/2 generations away from those first-hand experiences. Americans are now one to two generations away from the Cold War experiences of living under the communist threat.
Is it really a surprise that young people today, who have no life experiences with tyranny, are beginning to embrace communism as “just another lifestyle”?
He died and with his insurance money she bought a Chinese restaurant. She employs 35 people and you don't want to get her started about democrats and how they are choking the life out of small businesses and especially her small business.
Her employees already have insurance through her business, not the best but she has no idea what obamacare is going to do or require.
She also wonders why I haven't been to her restaurant, which is not that far away, my wife and kids have been and they love it, I just don't have the heart to tell her that I detest even the smell of Chinese food, I think it may be the smell of soy sauce that permeates everything, even the parking lot.
...Republicans are seen by Asians—as they are by Latinos, blacks, and some large proportion of whites—as the party of Bible-thumping, anti-gay, anti-abortion creationists. Factually, that’s ludicrously inaccurate.
In other words, for the Republican party to make inroads into the Asian-American voting bloc (which split 73-26 in favor of Obama), they will need to do more than make some vague noises about greater ethnic inclusion. They will need to think more deeply about whether the age of the earth is closer to 4000 or 4 billion years, whether females can negate unwanted pregnancies merely by willing it, and whether statistical theory and/or the central limit theorem is bunk.
Simple explanation for voting:
1. People who do not have a Biblical background tend to vote liberal (other non-Biblical religion, or pretend believers).
1. People who do have a Biblical foundation and are faithful or making an attempt to live by values tend to vote conservatively.
As more people from the rest of the world which has little to do with the Bible move here, the result is obvious. So, we are being told that to win politically, we have to bow down to Baal. They can have it, I will not bow down. And, God will rescue me and those who follow him. And even if he does not, we will still not bow down to Baal.
A lot of these are second-generation Americans, and are part of the Jon Stewart voter block. They are also not original thinkers and would tend to follow the authority of the Cool Guy.
Answer: They are members of the Third World and as such resent the European and will join with other Third World people to conquer the West.
The Asian example for this recent election demonstrates the fallacy of thinking that just because a group is productive therefor they share the same ideology.
"Those who think only in economic terms are forever victims of those who don't."
Menzie Chinn of TBI (I never link lefty sources) would probably deny Mao’s murder of millions or consider it necessary to “break a few eggs”.
This is krap ...Doesn’t anyone know who LaFollette was ? A leading socialist from Wisconsin. When socialists get to the podium black becomes white but white may remain white only as long as it supports their idea of the universe..
This empahsis on global warming only lays credance to the master plan on oil/coal/gas policies being being implemented by the Obama regime brought out by even by Romney and the reason why energy costs are and where they’re at ..by design
That 70% is probably mostly non-Christian.
It really comes down to ethnic pride or solidarity or something, except that these terms don't quite capture the subtlety of it. What's interesting is that these students would acknowledge that the core values of the Republican party were closer to their own in many ways. But there was just something there, a sense that the Republicans were the party of the other team, that trumped this and amounted to a barrier that they couldn't get beyond.
And in some ways they are exactly right. The old idea of the melting pot sounds friendly enough but it really is pretty brutal. It is a euphemism for assimilation, and people who have any measure of ethnic pride, which Asians and others certainly do, will naturally and understandably resist it. Technicalities like tax policy are small potatoes compared to issues of identity.
Simply put, the Republican party is the party of assimilation. This will always put it at a disadvantage with ethnic types. The reason the trend has strengthened against Republicans is that the Democrat party has been drifting leftward and becoming more hostile to and alienated from America's founding culture. In an abstract sense, the Democrat party is itself an unassimilated alien in America, with Obama the ultimate symbol of that "otherness".
My goodness. If 70% of them vote Democrat, then why would you expect to see any elected as Republicans? Last time I looked, the Republican Party Platform didn’t end with, “Except for Asians because we don’t like them”. Come over and run as Republicans. I’ll vote for you, if you’re conservative. I donated money to a black man’s campaign. Alan Keyes is a conservative. You can be purple, we don’t care, as long as you’re conservative. Look at the Democrats. They went out of their way to have a white man defeat a black man for congress in Florida. There’s the party that doesn’t like people who aren’t white. The Democrats keep throwing their black kapos like Jesse Jackson out there, and the blacks blindly follow them. This guy’s whole article is propaganda and baloney.
“This was a very big disappointment for me when I heard that about 70% of Asians voted for Obama.”
I believe the number was a bit more than 70% — actually, about 73%, three out of four.
Even Hispanics voted only 71% for Obama. Asians (as a group) are MORE supportive of the democrats than are Hispanics!
Have you learned anything from this?
Look at the chart in the original article above.
Of four ethnic groups, only one is “trending away” from voting for the ‘rats.
Which one is it?
I have observed among a fairly large number a tendency toward conformity, compliance and a comfort zone of complying with conventional/mains-stream media pronouncements so as to be accepted into our society as rapidly as posssible. They are especilly impressed with Hollywood's influence.
Conservatives, as you know prefer the rugged individualism almost to a fault that makes many asiatics uncomfortable.
I'm as proud of my former far eastern clients, friends and associates as I am of anyone else I know. So please withhold the standard accusation of any sort of racism in my expression of thought and observation. Thank you one and all...
Mi<And here, I think the key factor of importance to Chinese-Americans is pragmatism (the generation of my parents — who came from China — saw enough rigid, dogmatic ideology run amok, thank you very much)
Pragmatism is the philosophy of the postmodernists. Postmodernism is the nihilistic anti-conceptual mentality. They reject ideology because they reject principles and believe that there are no absolutes.But, they are tolerant of the politics of pluralism and eclecticism with their resulting mixed economy.People with this mentality believe that conservatism is reactionary nostalgia and verbiage left over from a discredited past.
