However, this article is also a sad reminder of what a terrible campaign Bush is running. The whole gay marriage issue cost him a ton of support among these kids. The fact is, they all have gay friends, and none of them want to be seen as supporting legislation targeted at their friends. Likewise, the War on Drugs is also a huge negative. These kids do not appreciate being harrassed and/or jailed by 97 different federal and state agencies over the occasional bong hit.
The conservatism of these kids is based primarily on small government, and secondarily on a strong defense. This second point is also a sore one with these kids. Dubya & Co. have done a pathetic job of selling the war in Iraq. Absent a strong and consistent argument to the contrary, they are too apt to believe the defeatist slop fed to them by the press and their professors.
I sure agree with you. But look at the alternative then wonder what it would be like if we didn't have a "Two-Party Cartel" lowering our leadership each & every election.
I think that the dominant part of the Republican Party will ultimately be the "South Park" wing, or, as P.J. O'Rourke calls them, the "Republican Party Reptiles."
The two parties are somewhat overdue for a major realignment, I think. I dislike both Hillary Clinton *and* Michelle Malkin. I shudder at the thought of Tom Tancredo as President just as much as I shudder at the thought of John Kerry as President. I think that both Sarah Brady and Jack Thompson are full of crap on guns and violent video games (yes, I am an unrepentant "Wolfenstein 3D" player), respectively. I do not want people trying to force their dislikes of certain radio shows, be it Howard Stern OR Rush Limbaugh (I listen to both on occasion).
Where exactly does a person like me fit in?
THANK YOU! That's it in a nutshell. Being anti-drug war doesn't make me a f***ing hippy communist.
