The Bong vote really came through for Gore and Kerry. LOL!

Founded in Los Angeles in 1990 with the goal of politically empowering the MTV generation getting liberals elected.

The biggest problem they face is apathy, or....whatever.

Incomplete sentence. Their goal was and is to persuade dummy teens and college students to vote for leftists.

They forgot the "vote" and concentrated on the "rock."

I registered to vote through Rock The Vote at Lollapaloza when Metallica Headlined it. I specifically waited till this concert to register after I moved to NC in hopes that it would annoy them that they registered a republican voter.

Ah, young voters.

18-year-olds have the worse voting record.

19-year-olds have the second worse voting record.

20-year-olds have the third worse voting record.

21-year-olds have the next worse voting record.

I'm glad that the oldsters have the best voting record. Older voters run the country and have, coincidentally, the most maturity and life experiences.
My thanks to the young voters, all 10 of them, for voting. They are shining examples.

I don't know the law in NC, but in Masshole-chusetts they are not legally obligated to process the registrations.

When I was volunteering on the Romney campaign we made sure that people were aware of this fact.

Too stoned to find their polling places! Oh, yea, I forgot -- they were disenfranchised -- that E-V-I-L Karl Rove and Diebold!

I think the numbers work out to about $15,000.00 per vote. Another success story for the democrats. Thank gawd for the dead voting, otherwise, they wouldn't stand a chance.

They are also insatiably greedy. Why do you think they STILL have SS, Medicare and now free drugs?

The "Greatest Generation" should surrender the title.

Well, I got my registration cards shortly there after, so they did the right thing and processed it.

Funny, I thought it was dead people, at least in Democrat precincts.

Let Puffy or P Diddy or Piddly or whateverhisnameisnow help 'em out. His "Vote or Die" campaign was so successful. I forget, did they die yet?
