I just posted the following on another thread on the same topic:
After reading Freeper reaction to the Twins' 'performance' tonight both on the LIVE thread and now here, I have just one comment: It's obvious to me that many of you have not spent ANY time recently on a high school or college campus!!!
The Twins' were NOT speaking to impress the over 25 crowd; they were speaking (authentically) to the 18-24 year old demographic -- not a group that typically votes Republican!
I gauged the Twins success by monitoring the reaction of my teenage son and his friends -- who, by-the-way, are considered the coolest of the cool at their Catholic high school! Bottomline: They were so impressed with the Twins (HOT!) that they decided to watch the First Lady's entire speech! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! [Two of the guys who were leaning toward Kerry are now leaning toward Bush (my son will make sure they vote the RIGHT way). Why the change? The Twins convinced them that Republicans aren't the clueless nerds they thought they were!!!]
"...Republicans aren't the clueless nerds they thought they were!!!"
I am a clueless nerd and damn proud of it! :-)
Your bragging about how cool other children think your children are? How old are you?
Most people send their children to Catholic school for the values and morals that are taught and how cool they are is not among them.
Are you at all concerned about their goodness, strength of character and love for God? It certainly doesn't sound like it.
