I noticed MTV is promoting a 20 Million Voter drive in which they want to increase the Youth vote. Yesterday, they had a "reporter" riding along with Kerry on his campaign plane and interviewed a bunch of ABB's ("Anybody But Bush")...these kids are exactly the sorta quislings you reference. Most of these folks are probably unreachable before next November, but I believe we have the votes to overcome their ill-conceived opinions.
"The guy's like so many others who've [passively] abdicated their RESPONSIBILTIES as citizens of our great Republic to relative strangers who they blindly trust will completely tell 'em what's really going on so they *can* make an informed decision. Most people I've met pride themselves on making fair & just choices, as long as the data they're processing toward the eventual outcome is *accurate*?"
Me, too...my younger brothers hang out with a lotta younger folks who span the spectrum of political thought, so it's interesting when we get together to talk politics. They are surprised to find that I'm not squarely in Bush's camp this time, and I believe it opens their minds to my entreaties about the dangers of allowing Kerry to become Commander-in-Chief. I may not be turning them into Bushbots, but there is some movement towards an "Anybody But Kerry" mentality.
"...don't pop a blood vessel!!"
"You don't "know" me as well as you think you know me if that's what you're thinking. But thanks, just the same. Not to worry, ain't gonna happen. HA! But I'd sure like to break a few necks. ...every now & then. {g}"
I was just kidding you about letting yer blood come to a boil, but I have no doubt that you could break those necks if push came to shove...LOL!!
FReegards...MUD
Plenty of *more* useful idiots to be had, my friend.

God I hope you're right, Mud.
And that's as *optimistic* as I can possibly be, too.

HA!!
Interstesting to you, but at my advanced age we're talking seizure! {g}

And that's probably the best reason someone like me should shaddap, too. ;^)
You're doing good Mud, you *speak* their language in ways they'll listen.

I know you were yankin' my chain; but, I had to play to the room, too.
That's what *hams* do, right? {that's for *you*, Elizabeth}
But you're right about the necks.
...like dry twigs. :o)
