    I wonder how much that girl got paid to bash her own heritage and appear as the face of a racist party.

    If by libertarian, you mean total exemption from the rule of law and lack of enforcement of proper regulations in society, then I wholly disagree with you.

    Well let's see... They bash China as currency manipulators and job-stealers, both of which are politicking at its absolute best. And if I remember correctly, Chinese people are a sizable portion of the Asian population.

    Well actually, yes. The ad is offensive and depicts things that they have never said about us. The laughing part at the end is particularly offensive.

    Look, the GOP is the party of white males and maybe a wannabe white male. Nothing wrong with that. I aint gonna bash your aspirations. But at the very least get a grip on reality.

    Where is Gordon Quan when you need him?

    Oh, that's right, sitting in a penthouse office in a million dollar law firm.

    If you're interested in your past, I think you should read up a little bit on why communism came to be.

    On a normal day, this might not be such a bad thing. But in this day and age? Terrible.

    In this presidential election, Asian voters accounted for only 3%(!!) of the registered votes. This is just, and quite frankly there's no other way to put it, NOT SMART.

    In a time where we literally see special interest groups/Super PACS/billionaires buy off politicians and install laws harmful to each and every every one of us, why would you not exercise your ability to have an influence on how your society should be?

    What a joke. "The media gatekeeper filter?"

    How about this? Be a normal human being and stop pointing fingers. These groups naturally tend to be dominated by the left because they represent things that the right will never represent. You can try to blame XYZ all you want, but dont tell us that we didnt tell you that you're living in your own damn bubble.

    Aside from all the points already made, many Asians are concentrated in areas that vote democratic (such as the West Coast and large cities).

    Er, Asians are about 4% of the population. It's pretty much statistically in the proper range.

    Also, I would be utterly fascinated to read your account of how communism came to be. And do try to keep the Japanese-bashing to a minimum, please?

    Obviously not. They want a smaller government and regulations that are not excessive, not anarchism. The Eastern asians are naturally born capitalists.

    You have to realize that most Asians are new immigrants and some of them are not even citizens, plus their offsprings are not 18 yet.

    A better way to gauge it is to calculate the percentage who are eligible.

    What are you afraid of? Is it still a tough pill to swallow to be reminded of the atrocious, extremely anti-humanity activities by the militarist Japanese imposed to the Chinese people for nearly a century?

    I'm sure I'm not reading this correctly. A Republican complaining, apparently without irony, that the antipathy of the other side is based on a ridiculously inaccurate caricature of their beliefs and policies?

    Holy crap.....
