It’s a quandary... what CAN we -- as conservatives -- do?

First, vote out Democrats and keep voting them out until they are all gone. They won't be back.

Second, support real conservative candidates for the House and Senate, and in state and local elections.

The boomer and older liberals are decreasing in number with each passing day. This bloc of voters is already less than one fourth of the eligible voters. There are not enough younger liberals to bring their voting numbers up to half the voting population except in the large liberal cities.

Total boomer and older eligible voters will be outnumbered by Gen-X and Gen-Y eligible voters before 2008.

Younger voters nationwide are trending more conservative than the boomers and older generation.

Younger liberals are less likely to vote than the younger eligible voters who are working and have families. As they get older fewer of them will be able to afford to stay liberal like their boomer predecessors.

Younger voters are not happy with high taxes, burdensome payroll deductions for programs that will never benefit their generation.

Younger voters are not pleased with the decisions the boomers have made over the last four decades, and their perception and the reality is that liberal boomers are predominantly to blame for the damage.

When Democrats disappear into the dustbin of history, the Republicans will by default be the party of the left and they will hopefully be pulled back toward the center because their competition will be a party of younger, more conservative voters.

I hope you won't mind if we hang on a bit longer. I know we are a burden and all but damn kid it was either bommers or geezers that brought a fine specimen such as you into this terrible world.
