Does this speak more about the liberal education or liberals themselves?

Answer 1

What a sorry lot of candidates we have! In a nation of 300 million, the best the Democrats can come up with is a woman whose husband was President (and plagued by countless scandals, some of which refuse to die), a "pretty boy" who got rich as an ambulance chaser, and a guy is who is taken seriously primarily due to his ethnic origin and occasional eloquence. That's hardly a prime field of candidates.

The Republican candidates are no "belle of the ball" either. No wonder kids would relinquish their votes so quickly.

I remember the days when Ronald Reagan was President, and there was palpable EXCITEMENT at the prospect of voting. When Reagan was up for re-election, I insisted my sister drive home with me from college to vote, even though she had partied a little too much the night before, and begged off, citing the likelihood of getting sick in the car.

I told her I'd rather clean up the car for an hour than spend the rest of my lifetime regretting her vote not counting.

Nowadays, it seems hardly worthwhile to even walk across the street to cast your vote for these lackluster politicians.

Answer 2

I rather vote than have an I-pod. Trust me, we talk a lot more about politics than you think. It's just that the political allusions are usually in jokes.

Answer 3

This doesn't say anything about liberals, but it says a lot about today's youth. They don't have enough money to pay for college.

Answer 4

no one that i know would give up their right to vote

young people LOVE mixing it up by using sarcasm and controversial comments to ruffle feathers

i love the youth of america
as they are the only chance that america has

Answer 5

No, it is a sign for how much the Republican
anti-election spam and noise discourages them.

Answer 6

Of course the right to vote.

They can always beat up a Republican and take their Ipod.

Answer 7

It speaks about lazy American kids who don't know what lives were given for the freedom they now have to vote.

I'm an American.
