Among New York’s Soviet Immigrants, Affinity for G.O.P
Like the Vietnamese boat people and refugees from Castro's Cuba, people who suffered under communism know what it smells like and avoid dems....guess they would agree with Allen West.

Anatoly Alter immigrated from Kiev, Ukraine, in 1978, worked as a machine operator in Manhattan’s fur district and now owns one of the fur emporiums on Brighton Beach Avenue, a shop lush with mink, sable and ermine coats. In his view, Democrats like Mr. Obama have introduced “a socialist mentality,” which is why he prefers Republicans. “Too many people want to rely on free money and socialist institutions, and they want businessmen to pay for it,” Mr. Alter said.
.....
“Having been seared by statism, they see Democrats as drifting toward statism and see that as dangerous for themselves and for the country,” said Fred Siegel, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute’s Center for State and Local Leadership.

Sure just like the Vietnamese and Cubans..... or are you bigoted against immigrants who aren't interested in living on the welfare plantation?

Amusing. Ignorant, but amusing.

I assume you're saying that he's minimizing how bad the regimes they came from by comparing the GOP to them? If so, I'd agree -- but the same goes for comparing the Dems to them, too, wouldn't you say?
