		<description><![CDATA[Give me a break, yes, yes they do.

The schools are run by liberals who sing &quot;mmm, mmm, mmm, OBAMA!&quot;  Journalist hail him as king, and the welfare system reproduces legions of leeches to ride on the backs of the ever shrinking number of those of who pull the wagon.

The country has tipped, there are more of them than there are of us, plain and simple.  It is OVER.  We PAY them to reproduce voters who only vote to take more from us to give to themselves.  And we cannot keep up because those of us who work can only responsibly afford 2 or 3 kids.

Romney was right, 47% of the country did not, will not, and won&#039;t ever vote for an eeeeeeeeevil conservative.  And our ranks are SHRINKING not growing.]]></description>

You need to read ninjapirate&#039;s post and absorb what he said. When you lose the elites (and the elites-to-be), you lose the war -- and the underclass that votes for the Democrats &lt;em&gt;are not the elite&lt;/em&gt;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Those parasites that you are so afraid of cannot get of their bed in the morning let alone plan an armed takeover of people who are vastly superior to them on very level… Of course not to mention that 70% of the military vote Republican and 90% of the military officers vote Republicans…

Are you afraid of Tiroon and Shaneek? LOL…

mnjg on February 27, 2013 at 4:55 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Remember how the Ohio National Guard opened fire on Vietnam protestors at Kent State? Of course no one casts a sympathetic light on the guards who had to obey commands and open fire... the four victims became political martyrs. And what else did they do besides riot in Kent&#039;s Main Street and burn down the ROTC building? Exactly.

Considering that this generation blindly follows a charismatic leader as it is, anything is possible. As the old saying goes, &quot;idle hands are the Devil&#039;s workshop.&quot;

Do NOT discount the ulterior motives of the Socialists.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The big issue where the GOP kills itself with young people is gay rights. In my College Republicans group, I’d say roughly 75-80% of the members were supportive of equal legal recognition of gay couples, be that marriage or civil unions. That’s among young Republicans. That’s a worldview issue and it won’t change over time with very many people.&lt;/blockquote&gt;That&#039;s a sensible view. Then why pick it as your hill to die on? If it&#039;s going to be erased with a majority that doesn&#039;t think its so, its &lt;em&gt;emotionalism &lt;/em&gt;that prefers the dictators who will ram Soda Reforms and social changes down people&#039;s throats rather than check the slow progress of the people&#039;s referendum.

It&#039;s evidence of how bad a state we&#039;re in that people will prefer unsound politics to those that they believe will naturally change with time. And for that to throw in with people who argue that Nobody cares about our Social Compact and the fundamental definition of and Republic--the gay marriage thing makes you more &lt;em&gt;liberal&lt;/em&gt;, everything else doesn&#039;t make you more &lt;em&gt;conservative&lt;/em&gt;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As someone who just graduated from college, I&#039;d say its a little more complicated than whether young people are naturally predisposed to one party or another.

The big issue where the GOP kills itself with young people is gay rights.  In my College Republicans group, I&#039;d say roughly 75-80% of the members were supportive of equal legal recognition of gay couples, be that marriage or civil unions.  That&#039;s among young &lt;em&gt;Republicans&lt;/em&gt;.  That&#039;s a worldview issue and it won&#039;t change over time with very many people.

The good news is that I believe that a good chunk of them will get woken up by the real world in other areas.  They will have bills to pay and see that big chunk of money Uncle Sam is taking out of their paycheck each month.  Some will realize what a massive screwjob Obamacare is for young people (once they turn 26, that is).  The ones that are awake will come to see that life under Obama isn&#039;t going to be all kittens and unicorns like they were told.

If I could broadly map out the average young adult&#039;s political orientation, I&#039;d say that it&#039;s fiscally centrist and socially center-left.  The social views won&#039;t change over time, but I suspect the fiscal ones will.  That still doesn&#039;t make them a natural fit for the GOP, but it doesn&#039;t make them unreachable either.  The GOP really has a branding problem among young people.  It&#039;s seen as the party of old white racist rich people who hate science and go to church every day.  The libs and their allies in the media have done well in that area.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Why do we(including Allahpundit and Ed who should know better) keep pretending that there is a “youth” vote? There is only an ethnic vote…

Romney won the white youth vote by a large margin right after McCain lost it.

ninjapirate on February 27, 2013 at 4:43 PM 

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That is exactly true... It comes down to the RACE factor... Why do you think that white liberals are always so angry and frustrated despite that they won the Presidency and the Senate?... Because 60% of Whites did not vote for them... For the white liberals the other races that they despise so much are only a voting block who vote on elections day and then they want them to go back to the sh*tholes where they live and never to be heard again from until the next elections day... They give the welfare check and in return they vote for them and that is it... As long as they are not winning a majority of whites they believe that they are not winning... That is how the white liberals think, they are the ultimate racists...]]></description>
