Seriously, how can young politically active people who are going to work for and vote for Bush be bad?

Consider a bell curve of politally interested people. Some will be extremely liberal; some will be extremely conservative; and the rest will fit somewhere in between. The trick in politics is to have enough weight on one's side to Get Elected. After that happens, pressure can be applied within the party to accentuate the wishes of the more extreme or pure or whatever word suits you to describe the most conservative among us.

False choice. Good for the young folks who are interested in politics. Why the college aged crowd is helping Bush, the "compassionate" one who is going to rape their generation's paychecks with quite a tax bill, is a bit mysterious. But the point is, if you're not in tune with the defining principles of the GOP why ARE you a member of the party? Once again, if you're a Jeffords clone I'd rather not have your help or aid however well intentioned or ignorant it may be. Quit harming conservatives and go join up with the Donkey party.
