Republicans used to be able to say that they won't steal from the future just to buy the old folks' vote.

My thought exactly.

I had always hoped that REAL Social Security and Medicare reform would be THE issue of the early 21st century. And I had also hoped that the Repulicans would "spear-heard" these reforms to the dismay of the socialists (Democrats) and to the benefit of younger and future generations. It isn't too often that a political party can do the right thing and gain the loyalty of an entire generation of voters.

But now I fear that this will never happen. We will be stuck with these entitlement programs until the proverial "sh*t-hits-the-fan". The Republicans could have been part of the solution instead of part of the problem...

Pubbie establishment is not doing a thing to attract young voters. It's the intestinal fortitude and brass ones of college republicans and conservatives that are spreading the wordn by promoting people like Ann Coulter,etc. I think Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham,etc. appeal to younger people because of their 'in your face' attitude. Sean Hannity is okay but sometimes he can get a bit pushy. I've ALWAYS loved Rush myself.
