So the right-wing like to spew this stupid narrative that moochers vote for Democrats and
that the last group who would vote Democratic would be the high achievers.
Well on that note we have the following
Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in
the United States. They are more satisfied than the general public with their lives,
finances and the direction of the country, and they place more value than other Americans do
on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success, according to a comprehensive new
nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center.
http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2012/06/19/the-rise-of-asian-americans/
So who did Asians vote for and by how much?
Washington, DC—Asian Americans voted for President Barack Obama in enormous numbers this
election, according to the Asian American Election Eve Poll, a joint project of the National
Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD) and Asian
American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF). While only 41% identify as Democrats,
Asian American voters broke for Barack Obama by a huge margin, with 72% voting for the
President and 26% for Mitt Romney. In Congressional races, 73% of Asian American voters
backed Democratic candidates, while 27% backed Republicans.

Romney won the white vote.
"Even in the deepest blue states, white voters went for Romney: 53 percent in California, 52 percent in New York, 55 percent in Pennsylvania."

What isn't cherry-picking is the broader point: Romney lost among every single demographic except white guys, even when the average income would otherwise suggest receptiveness to the GOP. Romney wasn't running to be President of the United States; he was running to be the President of White People.

You're right--thanks for the correction.

Went to my GrandDaughter's Veterans Day kindergarten program this morning.
Her school is located in a neighborhood populated mostly by Asian Americans, many of whom immigrated here in recent years.
Consequently, there were a lot of cute little faces with black hair and bright eyes, proudly singing several patriotic songs. Each had a red/white/blue bandana tied around their neck. They were all smiling and waving to family in the audience. 1 verse they sang contained the words "..America, place of my birth...".
Between songs, 4-5 would step up confidently up to the microphone with a 3-4 word sentence that expressed their pride in America. The audience was full of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and all of us were so proud, with a lot of us trying to hide a teary eye.
I thought about how lucky our country was to have such a vibrant group of children, whose parents thought so much of this country to come here, and to bless us with these kids.
I was so proud that my granddaughter would grow up with such a group of fellow Americans. Our future looks good to me.

My favorite compliment: "GrandPa, I've seen other old men, and their faces are a whole lot cruddier than yours is".

No its not stereotyping either. Stereotyping would be if I would take the fact that
Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in
the United States and then extrapolate that fact into making a statements about
every Asian and all Asians on an individual level which of course I didn't do

So Japanese and Koreans aren't Asian?
You still don't know what Stereotyping is
You know isn't interesting how fast Republicans will resort to political correctness
when they are confronted with inconvenient facts?

I'm sure they do too.
But us Irish-Americans don't want them in our clover patch.

Inquiring minds want to know.

So touchy eh Lame?
So knee-jerk when facts contract the narrative of the party that you voted for?
The most ignorant without going into income, without a doubt have to be those dumb ignorant
protesters.

This offend you too Lame?
Is that too much of a politically correct response for you?
What knee-jerk response will respond with now?

Well why don't you tell us what group that is then?
Give us the stats or a reputable source to prove it and then show that disproves the
fact that the highest earning and highest educated racial groups voted for Democrats in
Huge margins which then in turn refutes that as a refutation of the Stupid GOP narrative
that only moochers vote for Democrats?
Then while you're at it tell us how those with post graduate levels of education voted for?
Its clear that Lame is in deep levels of denial and just can't accept when confronted with
facts that his party is a party made largely of dimwits.
This fact hurts Lame so much that you see him in this thread asking questions that he would
never ask of his fellow Republicans.
Do you think Lame would ever ask "you're lumping Russian Americans, German Americans,
Polish Americans, Italian Americans, etcc..' if someone used the word "white" to describe
people?
No
But he gets his undies in a bunch for me using the word Asian
Lame just can't take what this election means for HIS party.
He just can't take it, hence the pouting

Demographic data, used by every government, every marketing professional and every election pollster since the dawn of time, are now "stereotypes".
Quick! Call off the census!
Well nobody expected the Losers to emerge from their bubble after the election.

You didn't answer.

Dennis,
It seems the point you're trying to imply is that a particular groups monetary success and level of education has let to them overwhelmingly choose Obama.
Since you find this relevant, I would also think you would find the candidate chosen by the poorest, least educated ethnic group relevant.
So, is there a connection between education, wealth and political ideology, or isn't there?

If you want to take a pot shot at minorities, just do it. It's no secret that conservatives think the people you describe voted for Obama. The point Dennis was making is that his supporters include a lot of other people as well.

There is no "seems" about it. I was very very clear what my point was
From the OP
So the right-wing like to spew this stupid narrative that moochers vote for Democrats and
that the last group who would vote Democratic would be the high achiever
The OP refuted that narrative
Since you can't refute my refutation of that stupid narrative
and
since you're a sore loser
and
since as a result of the fact you're a sore loser, you respond to such facts with a desperate
knee-jerk response that takes the form of a strawman in regard to what motivated me to make
the op which was It seems the point you're trying to imply is that a particular groups
