I was encouraged this AM by two young men on Fox that have this org called, I believe, Turning Point USA. Both had been Obama supporters but had change of heart. One stated that there was a difference in what was said/promised by the campaigning obama versus the president obama - in other words he lied to them. These two young men are very savvy and active in politics. I hope they will connect with many of the young who are disillusioned and ready for REAL change,
I'm afraid they won't find it in the Republican Party. The Republican Party has mastered the art of presenting one ideology (the party planks) and not doing much of anything to further them. just look at what they did in Bush's terms when they had the executive and the legislative... not even a token gesture against Roe v. Wade (repeal/overturn has been a plank since mid 80s). and how did they do on decreasing gov size and scope? How about financial responsibility?
Not only that but the party in in most cases passive-aggressive to people who will strive for those goals; remember the 2010 tea-party candidates? Heck, sometimes they're actively hostile: remember NY-23?
I'm not saying this to be gloomy/discouraging; I'm saying it because I have no time for a party that is all about lies when it comes to what they'll work towards.
