Do you seriously think that Republicans are friends of Asian-Americans?

I’d say it’s picking the lesser of two evils wrto who is a greater threat to our future in the near/mid term…And that’s where I think you are missing my viewpoint. I don’t vote GOP necessarily because I agree with with some backward politician somewhere else that might be racist or a bible humper… I vote for a GOP candidate so that I can do my part ensuring the Democrat has as few of a chance of ever having a supermajority to cram any ridiculously executed ideology down people’s throat without any objection from anyone else. If that means voting for a Green Party member that runs against Democrat, that would be perfectly fine too…If lunatic Sarah Palin was running against a democrat here and democrats were dangerously close to a supermajority, I’d vote for that nutjob too… One rightwing nutjob in our government can’t do much because she/he is a minority and won’t be nearly as capable of causing as much damage as a dozen or so leftwing nutjobs concurrently in office. That’s the beauty of how our democratic system is suppose to work.. Enough different and disagreeing kinds of nutjobs in our government, they can’t figure out which nutjob bill to pass.

Goodwin Liu was nominated by Obama to the Federal bench. He was on the path to the Supreme Court and was filibustered by Republicans.

Considering Goodwin Liu was a strong advocate of affirmative action in it’s current form, I’d say it was a great thing he was blocked….hallelujah…

My prediction is that as Asian-Americans participate more in politics, we will see something like voting patterns of Asians in Hawaii or San Francisco.[/quote]
Well, it depends…..It really depends on how democrats will attempt to address underprivileged/underepresented “minorities”….. If the approach is a zero-sum game approach in which you quota limit one ethnicity to increase quotas for others, as suggested by some democrats earlier, I’d say there’s a far greater risk of further fallout.
