kev374 is on the money regarding Hillary’s socialist view. But I think Obama will be as bad or worst than her in that regard. That’s why I’m for McCain if it’s Obama vs McCain in the general election.
McCain vs Hillary? I like Clinton’s policy against the war in Iraq but don’t like her illegal immigration view. I don’t like McCain’s policy against the war but I’m beginning to like his policy against ILLEGAL immigration.

February 6, 2008 at 10:13 AM #148724DukehornParticipantI’m Asian and voted for Obama. Most of my friends (who have graduate degrees and make 6 figures) are willing to pay our tax burden and more to support the country. Of course, most of us have traveled to countries with higher tax burdens (like Sweden and Denmark) with a government network that protects the population and to 3rd world countries (Bolivia, Guatemala) where there is abject poverty. I appreciate the US and I have no qualms about paying my taxes.
Also, some of us are not bigoted or stupid enough to punish poor children who are unfortunate enough to have poor parents.
Seriously, the BS about handouts needs to stop, especially in the context of the children living below the poverty line. That’s like saying an abused child deserves to be abused because her father is a sexual predator.
I guess some of the Republicans here definitely believe in the children paying for the sins of their fathers…..
I use to be a Republican but I’d rather hang out with the hippy environmentalists with social concerns than with the religious conservatives and those people who are solely concerned about money.
PS Asians are some of the most racist folks around. I can’t imagine the 1st generation folks voting for an African American.

February 6, 2008 at 10:16 AM #148729contramanParticipantKev374, Just to address your post here. STUDY (going to college and getting a degree) and WORKING HARD does not always guarantee a high income in this country.
The reality is, and I am by no means racist, that if you are a minority in America today (not of european decent), you actually have a slightly better chance of getting a degree and landing a high paying job. This is due to quotas placed on companies to hire a certain percentage of minorities to avoid lawsuits.
Try being of hungarian european decent and getting a grant from the government to go to college. Good Luck on that one.
I am a proponent of equal rights no matter what your creed, culture, or race. Unfortunately, this is not the case anymore in America. You can have 2 educated and experienced candidates for a job, one european decent the other Asian decent, the European guy can have more experience and a degree from a better school, yet the Asian candidate gets the job due to quota regulations. This is not equal rights.
So whining may be slightly justified by some……..who are carrying 50,000 in school loans while their hispanic buddy has none……(FYI, I have no school loans).
Once again, I am not racist and have friends from all backgrounds and cultures. I discuss this with them also and it is an issue in our country that needs to be addressed.
Hispanics are probably voting for Clinton because she wants to put a freeze on foreclosures and bail everyone out. I think that that population of people (look at Eastlake and Chula Vista prices)have taken the biggest beating in the housing market. Just an observation.
Sincerely, Contraman
