It seems to me that as much as I dig Asians, in particular Vietnamese, I have to tolerate the fact that most lean to the right. I can't help but think that right wingers are selfish people who don't want to pay enough to make this a good society. All this about morality in the Republican party is so obviously trash, the democrats obviously hold the actual higher ground morally. The Repubs sound so much like Nazis, I just feel so bad seeing this aspect in Asian people.
I have never before witnessed the level of lies and dirty tricks in the name of some (aparently evil) god, who shouldn't even be a part of the government process, it's a real farce.

The Dems at least appear human if not organized. The repubs seem to want to bring back slavery and abuse in the work place. Take away our rights. Insult Islam to the point of forcing them to retaliate like hurt dogs. I'm no fan of Islam, but just what was the crime Sadam committed against this country to cause us to do what we did?...

While I'm not American, I'm more liberal in my thinking. But if people espicially my fellow Vietnamese want to be more conservative than that is their right.

This sounds like 3-worms.

Most Vietnamese are republician is because republicians are more anti-communist than democrats. Which is why Vietnamese in America are mostly republicians because they hate communists.

But then they forget that Vietnam was bombed the most during the reign of Richard Nixon, a Republician, whose bombings killed countless lives.

That's why I am a strong supporter of the Democrat Party. If it wasn't for Jimmy Carter, many Asians (especially SEA one) would not be able to come to the US. He was the one that relaxed the quota for Asians.

My dad's republican, alot of filipinos become Republican because they want to be accepted into the rich white folks society. Oh and another thing Rebulicans tend to be Church oriented, like they are against abortion and so are Catholics. I would rather not get into the Republican-Democrat thing. I would rather pledge my allegiance to the Philippines.

You don't know what you are talking about. Apparantly you have't done your research. I've spent many hours debating these issues during poly-sci, I'm even tired of arguing with people who don't really know what they are talking about.

Thats right. reminded me of the horrors I suffered on election day. Viet republicans sworm me likes bee for Bush's vote. 2

it's a dilemma for me....

I don't particulary like the Republican agenda in US, but I like them for letting US corporations open business in Vietnam. It really help the economy in Vietnam. The Republicans sure know how to talk tough against the communists, but they don't really care who they deal with when time to make money.

I like some of Democrats ideas, but don't like them for trying to limit US corporation doing business in Vietnam. They too protectionist and too concern about democratic ideal. I like them for trying to improve the lives of all Americans.

Both use too many sound bites... too confusing to interpret what they really talking about... and too many hidden agendas.

Our parents are Republicans. Because in their heads, anything that leans the teensiest bit close to the left is fu-ken commie.

The kids nowadays, who choose to be more politically aware, are a mix of both parties. Unless, their parents find out...then it's back to the G.O.P. you go.

My mom started hemorrhaging when she found out I voted for Kerry.

no offense but these words don't seem to know much abot political science. (I'm a Hawaii Democrat btw)

1. You said that Repubs " can't help but think that right wingers are selfish people who don't want to pay enough to make this a good society."

well in fact it is the Republican who pushed for the kick out of harsh dictators as Saddam, and the Taliban, in expense of their lives (many to most Armed Forces troops are Republican). So to say that they are "selfish" is quiet the opposite.

2. "All this about morality in the Republican party is so obviously trash, the democrats obviously hold the actual higher ground morally"

Republicans, by agenda, are the defenders of conservative "ethics" and "morality". ie pro life, anti sam sex marriage, conservative media, anti legalization of drugs, etc.

I'm a democrat (to say it again) and I'm against some of the republican's agendas and approach, but it doesn't justify over exaggerated and unrealistic adjectives.

^^ Don't stress too much, I think kimme is just a kid who had been around too many (dumb) Democrates. lol he said the Democrates appear human while Republicans are trying to bring back slavery hahaha.

Hahaha....that's funny. I get so disillusion by some the right wing's excesses too. This damnable tax cuts and the crazy deficit spending. Still, I have to balance this out with the amoral, self-righteous idiocy of the left-wing. As for voting for John Kerry, I know why your mom is pissed. Read up on "Hanoi John." Taken out of historical context, Kerry does seems a much better alternative than Bush, but this fuking moron screwed South Vietnam, something that's not forgivable.

As for the Fil-dude assertion that it was Jimmy Carter who lessened the restriction, at least for many Vietnamese it was under Ronald Reagan that former south Vietnamese officers who were incarcerated in the communist concentration camp were allowed to come to America with their family. It was under President Bush senior that this agreement was finalized.

As for the party question. I think first and foremost we should be Vietnamese-Americans. It doesn't matter what party you're affliated as long as they serve the interest of the Vietnamese community. I hate many of Congresswoman Sanchez's ideas but I would vote for her because she's serves the Vietnamese community well.

As for Byron claiming he's a liberal . He's very confuse. Liberals and their doctrines are at the moment the anti-thesis of the Vietnamese govt, the love of his life.

As for your attack, on the right wing..ahem...you don't know what the hell you're talking about. There are moderate Republicans (John McCain) and conservative Democrat (Joe Liberman). I admire them because they have a bipartisan spirit and work for the best of the country. You seems to admire the ACLU-left wing idiots who want to take God out of the pledge of alleigence, give welfares to all the lazy @$$, and legalize dope and concaine in the name of freedom.
