I'm 24, will be 25 next week. I'm from Nebraska, where most of us are conservative (but don't know how to vote in Senate elections). I did a five year stint in Columbia, MO, which is liberal, and really turned me off. I've always been conservative and was editor of my high school paper in 1995. Every week I'd write something that would infurate liberals, I loved it. I go to college now and love arguing with liberal professors. I also plan on running for office someday, wherever I'm at.

LOL. All I can think of is Dukakis and the tank. I was 9 years old then, but still remember that(I think it was in Michigan).

Last year, I had a poster that said GI Gore: A Real American Zero. (It got taken away by the secret service when Gore invaded East Lansing last year)

After the election, I brought a sign that said Game Over Gore to the state capitol for the contests.

So, now we speak in the third-person, do we?

Bob Dole says that no man should have to put up with erectile dysfunction, Bob Dole won't, Bob Dole wants Viagra, and Bob Dole gets what he wants.

Isn't anyone else waiting on the next shoe to drop so that we can quit posting these inanities?

Or is it ED all the way down, like turtles.

[Dan from Michigan]

Great minds think alike.

[timm22]

I'll be turning 20 next week.

Currently I classify myself as a libertarian, but on a lot of issues I lean strongly to the consevative side.

I've been a rightist for as long as I can remember. I was first turned to the conservative side by my parents, who taught me religious values and a respect for work. Later, I came to see the stupidity of my liberal teachers and relatives (thanks in part to the Rush Limbaugh program, which I watched religiously in grade school). My own studies, aided considerably by the internet, have pretty much turned me to the libertarian side.

[cpprfld]

I am 27 years old, and I became a conservative two weeks after voting for Bill Clinton
in 92. I was driving to school every day and I started to listen to Rush during my drive.
I found myself starting to agree with many things that he said. I will admit that
I am pro-choice, because I have meet to many pregnant 14 year-old
girl, whose children and the girl would have been better aborting the child, but other
than that I am a mostly a conservative.

[Cool Guy]

The line starts behind me :P

[NeoCaveman]

Hey StoneColdGOP, quit trying to bogart all the honeys!!

Too all young conservative/libertarian women out there
Hi, my turn-ones are low taxes, cruise missiles over Bagdahd, and term limits
My turn-offs are Earth-firsters, nico-nazis, and the blame America first crowd....

[Dan from Michigan]

I don't think so.....:)

Time for me to do that impression of "Animal Mother" in the movie Full Metal Jacket...

BTW - That's the guy on the right.

[StoneColdGOP]

Just as long I don't have to be "Hand Job".

[Fred Mertz]

I'm 27 and dyslexic.

24 Today
Personally Conservative, Politically libertarian, Vote Republican.
I come from a pretty conservative, "nobody tell me what do do" background. Listening to conservative talk radio in opposition to liberal college professors put me over the edge

[Cool Guy]

"Better you than me." ?

[Husker24]

Where in Nebraska are you from?

[Hawkeye's Girl]

I'm 21. I'm Catholic, so I've always believed in conservative stuff that related to that (pro-life, etc.), but I really moved from moderate Independent to conservative Republican thanks to my way too PC liberal college.

Macalester College has helped form me into what it loathes most, and I take great satisfaction in that fact :D

[danielobvt]

25, In Arlington VA. Started as a Republican, as I am Catholic and from a military family. Became stronger in it as I attended school in Arlingon. My classmates all started seeming like parrots, repeating whatever was the correct(read democratic/liberal) line.
Came to realize that libertarianism was my true ID, as I strongly disagree with the social views of the christian right.

[Fraulein]

I am a 27 year old female FReeper. Back in high school, I was a punk rocker, so anarcho-libertarianism ruled the day. Oddly, that was my political beginning. Back then, punks claimed to be apolitical, but for the most part they were highly conservative, or libertarian, hence folk like Jello Biafra. By the way, no one hated hippies more than the punks, and we believed that public education went hand in hand with government propaganda

Well, times have changed. But I still consider myself libertarian (on the conservative side), and I am a true believer that the less government the better. I don’t like anything that even remotely smells of totalitarianism. I am currently a graduate student in Philosophy, so I wrestle daily with the inane liberals in upper academia. I am a vegetarian pro-lifer.

[Cool Guy]

Yo German Gal! Bumping into you, after a LONG TIME :)

"Non-Liberal, Vegetarian pro-lifer" - Surprised to find some one of that stripe. Care to share with us, what made you a vegeratian? Thanks.

[StoneColdGOP]

All right then, time for my own story, I suppose.

I'm a 24 year old (birthdate is May 10, gifts are appreciated) right-wing maniac Republican. I was born into a family of Democrats that didn't really know any better because FDR was a god to my grandparents and JFK "cared about them" and then became a martyr.

Once upon a time I was watching something on TV that mentioned Democrats and Republicans and I asked my grandpa, a die-hard UAW man, 37 years at General Motors in Van Nuys, what the difference was. He told me "Republicans are for the rich" (notice he didn't tell me what Democrats were FOR). Well that did it for, I liked the idea of being rich, so greed led me to identify myself as a Republican.

I got hooked on watching and following politics during the Iran/Contra incident and then really got it during the '88 presidential race. Four years later, while I was a high school sophomore, the idea of this slimey looking Arkansan named Bill Clinton becoming president scared me off my ass and into action, I became an activist within the Republican Party, and the rest is history.

Surrounded by a bunch of whiny, lily-livered hippies and commies at Whittier College was so much fun, and that was just the professors. I can't tell you how much many of the other students hated me.

I am a member of various conservative, political and Party clubs and organizations. I serve as a member of the Los Angeles County and California State GOP central committees. Obviously my depth of involvement has only increased over the years, I ran for the State Assembly in 2000 and as I enter my tenth year of involvement I am currently considering another campaign in 2002. (Who says this business doesn't make you crazy?!)
