Young voters. How do you feel about this shutdown and health care stand off? Just curious if Ted Cruz i& Co. are winning hearts and minds....

They are too isolated, while unemployed and living in their parent's basement since Obama has been in office, to care about the government shutdown.

I find it funny that libs are more concerned about eddy currents and details than full employment and a prosperous nation. Why? More unemployed, poor people means more democrat votes.

Seriously though why would any young person trust either party at this point?
Because Obama was damn good at marketing during his campaign. Who cares about records, history, or actual performance when you have the best song and dance?

I'm not sure how anyone can differentiate the GOP from the DNC anymore. It's like comparing green apples to red apples. No matter what the color of the two parties, they are both being spoiled by their extreme wings. Both are filled with a bunch of crony capitalists who are controlled by a militarized corporatocracy under the guise of democracy.

To call one party out while not calling out the other is the definition of being hypocritical. Tyranny is rampant in the Emerald City on the Hill, and the Constitution, along with out rights, is being intentionally emaciated.

Churchill had no brains in his later life. He willingly asked for help and accepted help in the Lend-Lease program from a liberal democrat FDR.

Ideology is a wonderfull thing until bullets start to fly and pragamtism overtakes.

Huh?

Rand Paul is of the extreme persuasion for the GOP.

The huge problem for Cruz is that his political career is going to outlive his fanbase. It might be a good short term plan to appease the lunatic teabaggers but when they all start to die off in a few years, it will be hard for him to come back to the realm of the sane.
