Welcome to the real world, kiddies...

[Puppage]

A recent informal survey of 500 post-grads primarily between the ages of 22 and 28 — 83 percent of whom voted for President Barack Obama in 2008 — found just 27 percent of Obama’s previous youth supporters plan to vote for him again

Yeah, well there's more 22-28 year olds where they came from to fill the void.

So what is a young person – brimming over with that instinctive, defiant impulse to rebel against “the man” – to do?

They can always start listening to Classical music -- just to pi$$ off their parents...

Won’t Get Fooled Again
Artist(Band):The Who

We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again

Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that’s all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
‘Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!

I’ll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

There’s nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

This totally make sense that Obummer is losing these dopes. Read recently that College Grads this year are having to move back home because there are no jobs. 85% in total. So much for hope and change. Looks like a Reagan 1980 moment for a lot of youth. Carter created a ton of future right wingers.

>one-in-four say they’re in debt, according to the firm’s data.

Thats some seriously flawed data there to suggest that only 1 in 4 recent college grads are in debt.
Most of them are in debt up to their eyeballs with college loans and have to work at McJobs just to make payments on what is likely to take decades to pay back

[B.O. Plenty]

27% plan to vote for Zer0 again, huh...

...we have a lot of work to do to rescue these folks from their madness.

I would donate a few doses of lithium if I knew where to send it.

I saw a college aged dope in the gym last w an obama shirst and wanted to punch him in the face.

Little dumbasses couldn’t do any research BEFORE learning this BS!? Could be a little late to “smarten up”!

[HereInTheHeartland]

Simple.
They are getting paychecks and seeing how much of their hard earned money is stolen.

Mom and Dad and the rest of the old folks don’t seem as foolish now.

And in that real world, the kiddies will learn that liberalism is not the answer to all problems. And they will be shocked at how much in taxes comes out in each paycheck. And they will start to wonder about taxes they pay vs. what government is spending their money on. They will wonder how they can be taxed so heavily, and yet government is still trillions in debt.

A dose of the real world can really change the thought process of young people. It’s easy to be liberal in a college bubble, and decry racism, sexism, etc. but in the real world, they will learn that life is not so simplistic.

[MrB]

The “youth”, if uninformed or intentionally misled,
see the “old dudes” with the nice cars, houses, etc,

and wonder why the old dudes have the stuff and they don’t,
after all, they’re “cooler” than that old dude in the convertible ‘vette.

The left plays on this convetous nature by implying, if not outright promising, that they’ll take the stuff away from the “old dudes” (those who have paid their dues) and give it to the young, hip crowd.

Dopes is the word for it. I am 28 and I never voted for Zero.

[erlayman]

College grads are turning against Obama because they are terrified at the thought of competing against millions of more experienced candidates who are also out of work.

Social liberalism and government spending are may come eventually but one would think are somewhat further down the list of priorities...

Well a young man
He ain’t got nothin’ in the world these days
I said a young man
Ain’t got nothin’ in the world these days

In the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people stepped back
When a young man walked by

You know nowadays
Well it’s the old man’s
Got all the money
And a young man
Ain’t got nothin’ in the world these days

You know nowadays, if you’re the young man
You ain’t got nothin’ in the world these days

— Mose Allison “Young Man’s Blues” (notably covered by The Who)
