Misleading headline.
Should read:
"Kerry's record influences Vietnamese Voters - 71% Back Bush"
The other 29% are NVA and VC.
The Vietnamese-Americans like the Vier Nam Veterans have verrrrrry long memories and we have not forgotten what the Traitor did in 1971. I was in Little Saigon a couple of weeks ago and the people there are voting for Bush. PERIOD!

Very telling numbers.
We have a VERY large Vietnamese ex-pat community here in Louisville.
Always impressed me, by the closeness of the families; the tidiness of the neighborhoods; the entrepreneurship of the business people; and the heavy Catholic participation.
The industriousness of certain immigrant blocks, versus the race-baiting of others...
Most people who have escaped the grip of Communism realize how evil it is. Kerry is a commie apologist, and Vietnamese people know better.
Vietnamese = Florida Cubans
As I've posted before, wifey is Vietnamese, a U.S. citizen.
Not a single one of her friends will be voting for Kerry. The equate a vote for Kerry to supporting the "Viet Cong" (as they still call the Hanoi regime). Kerry's behavior is so bizarre vice Vietnam that many suspect he's on the Hanoi payroll (and his cousin's real estate deal with Hanoi somewhat confirms that).
The organization quoted above - NCM - has a web site and a survey from last year indicating 80 to 90 percent support for GWB, the WoT, and Iraq. Only the Filipinos exceed the Vietnamese in their support for GWB among all polled ethnic groups (Arabs are down there in the 30's).
Kerry, who has portrayed himself as a friend of the Vietnamese people is actually disliked by the South Vietnamese now in America. Obviously the Hanoi Vietnamese like him, his picture is in the War Remnants Museum in Saigon (formerly called the Museum Of American War Crimes).
Oh, did you know that Kerry learned to speak Vietnamese during his 3 1/2 month tour? He must be a linguistic prodigy, most of us require years to get a grip on the six basic tones of Vietnamese.
I had not seen that before, about your good lady. I can relate.
My grandparents came here to escape the Bolsheviks. And I had relatives who got free tatoos at Buchenwald.
It's such bravery, to flee your home and come to a place which promises hope. I don't believe the vast masses in America could do it, if it happened here.
That 71% fear re-education camps if Komrade Kerry is elected.
We already have them, they are called sensitivity training. Kerry would only make this a mandatory part of our "education".
"I don't think I am being overly optimistic but I think that this election will not be close by a long shot..."
I think you are overly optimistic because more Democrats will turn out to vote on November 3, 2004.
Imagine if all of us here, 30 years ago, had escaped the United States to a safe country, such as Australia or the UK, because the US had been overcome by COMMUNISM.
Imagine if many of us had family still left here, under the Red Star, or we had seen a brother or sister drown as we had left the US by ship.
Fast forward 30 years. As residents of the UK, there is a parliamentary election for Prime Minister. One of the two candidates had, 30 years ago, facilitated the Communist takeover of the US, and had even visited Communist leaders in Paris to strategize.
We as voters in the UK poll, would be expected to vote for THAT BUZZARD? No way.
I thank God that my wife was arrested trying to escape from Vietnam via the Ca Mau peninsula in 1980.
Why?
Many of the "boat people" were attacked in the Sea Of Siam by Thai pirates, taken hostage, raped, robbed, beaten, murdered. Especially those who left from Ca Mau. And that's if the boat didn't disintegrate before reaching land or a friendly commercial vessel. Even if they made it out, they were typically kept in refugee camps for 3 to 5 years and more (Hong Kong repatriated several hundred back to Vietnam as recently as three years ago).
Americans generally cannot conceive of the horrors that Vietnamese refugees endured in order to get out of the "communist paradise."
As for my wife, she and her 100+ shipmates got 30 days in a filthy Ca Mau jail. Since she provided a fake name, there were no repercussions and obviously she left after we were married.
The article above is only the *second* I've seen this election cycle about Vietnamese-Americans and how they view John Kerry. There's something odd in that.
And actually it's far worse than described above: in the weekly V-A newspapers, Kerry's regulary called a "phan boi" - traitor - on the front pages and in editorials. He's greatly despised and considered a co-conspirator with Hanoi.
I wish more Americans knew about this.
It's out there, but maybe the SWIFTees could get some Vietnamese Vietnam vets to talk about their feelings toward Phan Boi Kerry.
Leave it to the arrogant Kerry to totally overlook this reality.
The Swiftee ads are killing the Traitor!
They are far more successful than W's ads.
By November second, the Traitor will rue the day he ever slandered the reputations of millions of Viet Nam veterans.
