Someone change Shady's diaper, he's getting a bit cranky.
Yeah, I'll admit I get a bit pissed off when I see younger people getting knocked like that, and I also get annoyed at the little transparent muslim/ayers/whatever jabs. If a republican is well supported and talks about actual policy issues, that's fine. But all people like popeye do is spread retardation across an already largely retarded populus.
Once again, we need to focus on actual
issues now. And so many people are perfectly content to play the political personalities game that probably contributed largely to this mess. Shit, people like that are probably more to blame than the actual politicians.
C'mon ... look around your campus and tell me that you want your fellow generation deciding the direction our country is headed. That would be a country that cuts off social security and closes the door on all the military in favor of gov't sponsored raves & free condoms.
I'm not by any means saying you in particular are not informed. If you believe liberal, and are informed, vote liberal. The problem is the rest of the under 25 generation simply is not informed and truly do not understand grown up stuff ... most don't even know what a budget is.
Again, not knocking your generation, I felt the exact same way as I do now when I was that age.
I look around my campus and see a lot of people not competent to be choosing what brand of condom a frat boy will be using to bang them later that night.
But they're not the ones who will be voting, and they're not the ones that are vocal in any way.
There's a
lot of us that are very well informed on this. And out of the people voting? Nearly all will be I'd expect. I've actually had several conversations with people over the past few days who never gave a fuck about politics, and yet actually have a relatively good understanding of each candidates tax plan.
Michigan State(the campus I'm on) is known as a party school generally. And yet the party scene
died during the debates. There were still a fair chunk out, but that's the type that won't be voting. It was a noticable difference though. And yes, the "weekend" party scene starts on thursday normally here.
Seeing your youthfulness & that you're backing Obama this time around does that mean you have been a Bush supporter?
I was never a Bush supporter. I have however on a local/sate level voted for(and once even campaigned for) republicans.
If you would've asked me 2 years ago about McCain, I actually liked him a bit then. Unfortunately, his personality, politics, and decisions have gone down severely since then.
If Hillary would've won the democratic primary, I would've had to give him some serious thought. But she didn't. And there's someone better than McCain running now.
