You're paying for your own stupidity and ignorance. Enjoy your hope and change.
That is exactly the point I made to my daughter - a recent college graduate who has been able to find only part time work. ( I was a little more gentle with my wording, I am her Daddy.) Actually, if we conservatives play our cards right, this can be an excellent teaching moment. It may be these disillusioned young people will become tomorrows conservative base - if we play it right.-—JM
“All I have to say to all of you unemployed recent college graduates that voted for Obama and the democrats last year is: ‘You’re paying for your own stupidity and ignorance. Enjoy your hope and change.’”
This was the first year our son could vote. Husband took him to the polls to make sure he DID vote (he turned 21, so he was 17 last cycle and ineligible to vote) and made a totally BIG deal out of them voting, how imporating it was, etc.
I don’t know how he voted; he’s pretty a-political and my husband is a total Libertarian, so I’m pretty certain those two votes are lost. They have no problem knowing where I stand; hell, I’m b*tchin’ about it every day, LOL!
When I was younger, I voted a straight ticket, but the ONE time I strayed was to vote for Senator Russ Feingold. I have regretted that decision ever since.
And unless my ‘Dopey Hopey Changey Junior’ lives through these next four years without a layoff, I’m hard pressed to convince him otherwise. For now.
When he’s married, with kids and a property owner paying taxes out the butt in this stupid state (WI), I’ll have better leverage. And I will USE it! :)
