CNN Headline News: Rock The Vote/Vote or Die: Failure
CNN Headline News | 11-3-04

Posted on 11/03/2004 11:20:29 AM PST by My Favorite Headache

No link to this yet but will be one shortly...was on Headline News....estimates show P.Diddy and Russel Simmons "Vote or Die" project failed miserably yesterday and was actually over shadowed by the Christian Youth Vote 4 to 1.

Estimates show some 47% of those who were newly registered....slept in or were no show's.

Rock The Vote hoped to achieve some 25 million new voters to the polls...estimates show they got 6 million.

"False assumption that all young people are mindless boobs who will do what a rap artist or film maker tell them to do. Most of the young people I know are great moral kids. Voted Bush."

False assumption on your part, too. Montana kids, yes. Idaho kids, yes. The ones I work with from Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, NoKal, etc., are liberal rap morons, Jon Stewart fans, Michael Moore believers, mush brained skaters, etc. Kids are no different than adults, except apparently more of the good ones turned out yesterday than the brain-dead hip hoppers.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I knew the Christian/Moral Vote would come out on this election in larger numbers than MTV Vote. The Moral Issues DID decide this election. Evangelicals poured out for Bush, I bet Catholics in OHIO did help BUSH greatly as well.

Now watch how CNN, MSNBC etc... are dismissing the Morality Vote, its unbelievable what they're sayin.

Yeah, but in all fairness, the Christian Youth Vote had the advantage that their consituency was sober.

It looks like the Vote or Die types elected to die.

P Dicks voters couldn't get out of bed to get to the polls. Too high from smoking crack the night before.

I know many young people who voted but voted Bush. My niece turned 18 on election day and she and her friends all voted and volunteered for the Republicans.

I am so incredibly proud of our fine Christian young people who did turn out yesterday! "Redeem the Vote" was instrumental in this.

It's evil, really- they want to make little pawns of the young folks. Won't work. I voted for Bush in 2000 when I was 18 and I voted for him this year, I'm 22. My friends, also young folk, voted the same... They have underestimated us!

Imagine the entire premise of the Vote or Die campaign was that a young person might be called upon to serve their country.

What a sad sad commentary on some of our youth.

The young people who voted are probably the ones whose parents both encouraged them to and saw to it that they did it. I got my college student out of bed at 6 am and said to be ready by 6:30 because we were going to the polls early. But she didn't mind. She wanted to vote because we talk politics around the dinner table. Plus, she grew up during the Clinton years and just despised him, even as a young'un. She knew she certainly wouldn't get by with that type of behavior.

Whatever happened to the cell phone voters that were going to blast Bush out of the White House? You know, the unpollables?

They were cancelled by the other unpollables - the Amish in Ohio. :)

Good. Guess today's youth aren't as gullible and easily lead as they thought.
