Bush Hatred Flops Big

As a young person myself, I can personally vouch that my generation is completely clueless (for the most part). Almost everyone I know hated Bush for the sole reason they saw a movie that said as much, yet when it comes to actually getting off the couch to vote no other demographic is as likely to think "what's the point? I'm only worth one vote anyway".

I am deeply concerned that the next generation, the video game generation, the me-first generation, the generation that will forever be tied to their parents' hard work, will be the ones responsible for ceding the remarkable advances of Western civilization. I only hope that with this mandate Bush will undeniably prove once and for all that Western democracy, and the freedom that entails, is humanity's greatest achievement.

NOVEMBER SUPRISE!:

Could M. Moore be actually working for the Prez??

[Validus]

I'm a young person (college junior) as well, and I'm not worried about my generation.

Why? Because I can see conservatism growing in many of my peers as they get older. I know people who hated George Bush when they were freshmen, only to realize the benefit of his policies and convictions as they grew older and wiser.

I am I an a strong Red state, so this "sample" isn't worth an Ohio exit poll (*G*), but the young GOP around here is much stronger, more organized, and better informed than the young Democrats.

I love it! Great find.

Terrific wit and stinging hit on Moore and leftist celibralties.

[psjones]

Don't despair, I saw quite a few young high schoolers come over to out local republican headquarters to volunteer. We also had a group of home schooled kids come over to help out.

The "youth vote" is the Left's equivalent of the Rapture: it may happen one day, but not on any schedule you want to put money on.

One more for the Greatest Hits collection.

Best one yet, thanks.

Great find.
"Thank you, Guardian lefties! Had they launched Operation Massachusetts, Kerry would have lost his own state."

Anyone have any ideas on how we can keep the left's coalition together (Moore,MSM,Hollyweird, Europe, UK papers,) for the next several election cycles?

We really owe them for the great voter turnout and GWB's big victory.

" Every time Kerry was seen cavorting with Hollywood A-listers, he was alienating the Z-listers -- the American people."

Yesterday morning I heard an ABC radio (Old Media) "Hollywood" type reporter say that all the Hollywood and recording industry stars that came out strong and public for Kerry had had "absolutely no effect" on the election.

Clueless! (pssst! I think I'll help them out:)

Hey Hollywood, here's a tip for the 2008 elections; The reason they had "no effect" is that the people you sent out to be seen weren't weird, anti-establishment, ignorant, egotistical, evil, or disgusting enough. In 2008 you have to send out the 2004 crew AND your very, very "best" examples of the left and east coast personality, to campaign for the Democratic presidential candidate. Don't forget to get them all "coked up" before they go on TV, 'cause then they say things mid-American parents want their kids to hear. And don't bother getting them cleaned up because midwestern farmers really like that "dirt"-ty look, especially on those Hollywood women wearing see-thru blouses. And if you can get one of those women to stand next to the Dem candidate's spouse, while the spouse is holding two open beers and a cigar, well that would be really, really COOL MAN, REALLY COOL! About the only thing you could do to beat that would be to have them standing in front of one of those buildings with a steeple, on one of those mornings after "Saturday Night Live". I know you guys don't like to do the "morning" thing man but after SNL, if you could just lay off the liquor and keep hitting uppers for a few more hours it would all be for a good cause man. BE'cause the country really needs to see you and hear you dissin' the Republicans and everything they stand for. I just can't tell you what a great thing you would be doing for the country guys. Guys, I'd really love you for it! If you did that I'd really like to "just wrap you up in my arms and embrace each and every one of you individually". Hollywood, you are GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! Everybody in the country just loves you! You are GREAT!

"real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions"

I read that here first on freerepublic.

This was a TERRIFIC piece of journalism!

Somebody owes the author a VB.

The Youth vote was the Christian youth vote. The Rock (of ages)vote.

The Australian Newspaper is really allowing a wide spectrum of writers to grace it's pages at the moment. Mark Steyn and Justin Raimondo have both had articles published in the Australian recently.
