96% of the countries counties bleed red and not blue. Even in those counties that were red in previous elections they've began to become darker. As the country moves right the democrats try to claim division. I'll say this, I may live in fly-over(the great state of texas)country but our voice was heard and their so called division exists as a minority. The democratic party has been dying for a long time now. They are split and as such we are picking up the pieces they leave behind. They blame the youth for not showing up. Well let me ask this what is 17% of 115 million? The answer is roughly 20 million(how many youth voted) and my answer to them is we, those between 18-29 (I am 21), did show up but for Bush and not Kerry as they hoped. I only hope that Bush will pas tax reform and perhaps flat sales tax so we can say goodbye to the IRS, allow privatization(however spelled) if social security, and brings peace across the world. As for the democrats and their scape goats and lies all I can say is good riddance and I will be wating in 2008 to cast my vote agian and do my part to ensure their disappearance.
I heard that youth DID show up. As NEW CONSERVATIVES.
The media was flabergasted that they didn't even go through a period of liberalism (the "rite of passage").
I did the same thing growing up in the Carter-Reagan years.
We were called Generation X because of a book from the 1990s (although the term was already used by Billy Idol's first band in England in 1977).
We NOW call ourselves Gen-Reagan.
George W. Bush has shown himself to be the heir apparent to the legacy by standing up to international terrorism (as Reagan did the Soviet Union) and rallying America to vote in EVEN GREATER NUMBERS.
America said HELL NO to the MSM and the old liberal order.
This is a new morning in America.
More specifically, Bush could move to make permanent the elimination of the estate tax and institute broader tax reform, making the rate system "flatter." Other legislation that was bottled up in the first term, such as the energy and highway bills, will likely move. One big unfinished agenda item from Bush's first term is reform of Social Security, specifically the establishment of private accounts. Bush and the Republicans can also be expected to defund discretionary programs, limiting the Democrats' ability to provide money for new social programs. ...***
of course the democrats youth didn't show up. They aborted them
