I saw a Choose or Lose ad earlier, tonight. Wow, talk about your unbiased ads. You could tell that they were only interested in getting young people out to vote, rather then pushing any platforms or specific issues, such as the War in Iraq or Gay Marriage. /sarcasm

President Bush should appear on MTV. Of course, he should demand all of the same control in picking the audience and the questions that Bill Clinton was granted. He should also not be harassed in the media for requesting such control since Big Media gave Bubba a pass.

To show how incestous the media was with regards to Clinton's MTV town hall meeting, let's look at the "Boxers or Briefs" question. The girl who asked that was a daughter of a liberal journalist. She sat with her mom to come up with a "good" question. They settled on the legalization of recreational drugs. President Clinton's staff nixed that question and asked her to offer something lighter.

It's like when Hillary Clinton asks interviewers to provide her with a list of the questions they will be asking.

So by all means President Bush should be permitted to speak on the air with young conservatives about America. Read the MTV forums some time. There are young conservatives who reject SeeBS-Viacom-MTV's partisan propaganda.

I agree. I don't want Bush on MTV. Let's have at least one grown-up in this race.

[k2blader]

My respect for President Bush would increase if he decided to not appear on MTV. Trash is not worth wading through.

The 18-30 year old demographic, which is 30 million strong, accounted for less than 4 percent of the entire voting population in 2000.

In the official (if flawed) final tally, Albert Gore Junior got 0.52% more of the popular vote. 4% can sway an election (or at least the bragging rights).

MTV campaign to mobilize 20 million young voters in November.

In a concerted effort to Vote Democrat, IMO.

I saw the choose or lose program over the weekend and it was really bad. They want to encourage the youth to vote right, but why make the program only sway to the left why not do it in a way to show what each party is about rather then just showing a liberal p.o.v. Why not teach people to make there own decisions instead of making them for them. Socialistic programs like that is what should really be censored. why can't the media just tell the truth and let people make up there own mind.

My god. Thought I would be the only Dead Kennedy fan here.

That's just a side effect of DMSO. ;-)

Many point to this election year as being a mirror to the 1992 presidential campaigns of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

Yup, especially with the "worst economy in 50 years" rhetoric.

IMHO, no person either in or seeking the Presidency should subject himself to this nonsensical foolishness. There must be dignity at that level.

Of what possible use are questions like, "boxers or briefs?", except to mark the questioner as hopelessly stupid? The proper response, BTW, would have been to say, "Young lady, you had the chance to pose a question to the President of the United States. You asked THAT? Please, gain some maturity and dignity before trying again."

We're talking here about a crowd of kids that want to ask the candidates what they thinkk of Britney Spears. Such detached-from-the-real-world morons deserve no respect or response. Simply appearing on such a show demeans the man who does.

Believe it or not there was actually a report on MTV about the young conservatives (or crashers, as they called them, since they freep protests). I wondered how many of those interviewed were Freepers as well. Just a note, I do NOT watch MTV. Just that my husband was flipping channels and thought the report looked like something interesting to stop on.

The precedent is certainly there for the President to get to define the audience and nature of the questions.

"Sock it to me???"

[hchutch]

Can't win either way.

Bush can either walk into a known land mine, or cede the entire audience to the Dems without a fight.

Which is the lesser of the evils? I'd say the President ought to go, but he ought to be ready for trick questions. Imagine and plan for the worst, and hope for the best.

[Miss Marple]

You are more optimistic about MTV than I. I don't think he should go, unless he has control of the guest list and there are no edits.
