My simple answer is: Not if I can help it. I yell at every young kid of voting age I can find and tell them the future starts now. Pause Halo 3 for an hour or so and take part in what it is that make this country what it is and what it should be.

When I worked a “Rock the Vote” event in 1996, the first thing that struck me about the attendees is that they were all fairly liberal campus activists (as opposed to the fairly conservative campus activists who attended the College Republican meetings). In other words, they were the sorts of people who would participate in the process anyway. Which led me to conclude that the “Rock the Vote” event was worthless — or at least that particular one was.

I honestly don’t think young voters are going to get involved in politics unless something happens that directly threatens them — or that might directly benefit them. Otherwise, lost cause.

Cynical line of the day: “Let’s face it: Leftie girls are easy.”

Take that, Mitt Romney!

They’d be paying more attention if there was a draft right now.

I wonder if Ron Paul and his supporters are serving the same “function” in the other party.

No way, Republicans don’t believe in casual sex, they’re zombies and just reanimate their own dead heroes, like grandpa Fred Thompson, risen from the grave of the Watergate hearings (remember even Nixon said the guy was “dumb as hell”), ridiculous old men like John McCain, or Rudy, they guy who’s claim to fame is marching around a mass grave in Manhattan.

They’re all frickin’ cyborgs. They gotta be. It’s the only explanation for their lack of social responsibility.

Hey Ollie, did ya check out the singles scene at the Obama Rallies?

Remember, House Parties are for folks old enough to actually own houses.
