I think you are just wanting to be argumentive here and overly optimistic.

I can't imagine why it would be unclear to you that as a conservative (Bush supporting conservative) on a conservative forum (largely Bush supportive) that you would automatically assume that I would be referring to a post about conservative youths as being mush heads. Maybe it's that same logic you are using to assume that the majority of youth in this country are conservative and Bush supporters.

I hope you are right that the youths of this generation are a majority conservative and that they understand what is on the line in this election and go vote but I would prefer that the mush heads who are more interested in their ability to get high, laid and depraved stay home. Or at least find some shame first before deciding on who is best fit to serve this nation.

Not to say that I don't think there are any just that I don't think they exist in the quantity and quality that you are suggesting. I'm not holding my breath in your optimistic appraisal of the situation but election day results (if not tampered with) will show how conservative American youths are and if they are a majority or not.

Children tend to run to their parents when the house is falling down around them too but that also doesn't make them more conscientious to the cracks in the underlying timbers before hand and certainly not more conservative.
Nothing wrong with being optimistic and I truly hope that I am wrong about my assessment and that you are right in yours.

I am truly not wanting to be 'argumentative' here.

I saw in your original post what seemed to be a stereotyping that I don't believe to be true, and I disagreed with it. You let me know in a later post that I interpreted your post wrongly.

Perhaps I am overly optimistic, but I'm basing it on the polls that are coming from a variety of sources, and my own contact with large numbers of high school and college kids.

But on election day, it's going to come down to who gets out the vote. Part of my optimism is that conservative young people are more likely to vote than the minds full of much type are........which is why I said that the RNC should work through college Republican clubs, and get them involved, and out on election day.
