Ronald Reagan inspired a new generation of young people to vote republican.

George W Bush may have done just the opposite. Maybe it was the NeoCons and the Iraq War — I just don’t know what’s at the root of the problem.

A long hard recession may win back a lot of voters... the coming years of Obamanomics look like they’ll be a disaster for everyone. No amount of spin will salvage this for the Dems.

Well, those NeoCons and the Iraq War likely saved those young people from incredible terrorist attacks and a much, much harder road against Islamic fascism in the future. John Adams paid a high price for building a fleet of frigates, and lost in 1800 partly because of it.

Then Jefferson turned right around and used them to defeat the Barbary Pirates.
