Thank goodness that other kid’s mom gets it now!
My own kid (26) has been fending off those of her friends who are saying “romney hates big bird” all day.
I tried to tell her she needs to explain to them about the debt, but I didn’t get very far with that.
At least my kid, herself, is a dyed in the wool republican! 3 generations now!
She could remind her friends that Big Bird is now 40 years old and might be ready to move out and make it on his own. :-)
“romney hates big bird”
I’m hearing that from the 20s crowd also. I think it’s a college thing.
I don’t know what disturbs me worse. That they won’t engage the actual issues, or that the only sentence of that entire debate they can comprehend was one that included the words “big bird”.
So the average education level of a mid-20s college student is... preschool? That explains a lot.
Or at least it explains to a large extent where their maturity level lies. They aren’t even making the correct logic leaps. Romney was in a roundabout way threatening all the subsidies and social services by picking one to talk about that would not polarize voters against him.
They’re too stupid to even figure out what he was actually doing, which was opening a dialog to reduce subsidies by STARTING SOMEWHERE.
