The so-called "Millenials" are too self-absorbed to be informed.

Remember Ron Paul was I believe second in support among this group after Obama - such an incredibly different candidate indeed.

Which is what I could never figure out. How could this generation have been so dichotomous and bipolar in their foresight?

Younger people are impulsive and lack life and work experience in order to make rational political decisions. I think, given this cohort voted for Obama TWICE, we can safely say that they make very poor choices when voting.
Wonder why many Liberals want the voting age lowered to 16 ?

Get'em young and train'em right.

The Keg Stand Obamacare Ads
The keg stand ad is ridiculous. Why show a keg? Oh, I guess all young people are drinking.

Which confirms that the liberal politicians believe themselves that their constiuents are stupid. A nightmare for democrat politicians would be educated, well to do, mature voters with families. They would never win an election again.

As long as there is ample supply of morons, there will always be democrat politicians.

Sadly, the latter is more realistic for the nation, rather than the former. Libs and dems have nothing to fear.

Fact is Obama supporters tend to be the most hypocritical people - that are willing to put a politician above the welfare of a country. They harshly criticized Bush for what they ignore in or make excuses for Obama.

More lobbyists in WH, more no-bid contracts, more drones over more countries with more civilian casualties, more debt, more waste, renewed Patriot Act, continued special access to big donors, etc...
We have discussed all your examples before and you have never once put up anything to back them up.

If you are willing to back them up, then by all means, do so, but at this point you are just continuously posting the same copy and paste lines over and over again with no substance.

heck, i dont even think President Obama ever went after Bush on drones.

Throwing Obama out of office will accomplish nothing at this point. I am 26 and I dont favor that. I am upset with him for reasons other than ACA including electing big business heads to appointed positions, not doing enough for the environment, and the usage of drones. 2016 will come and we will have the chance to elect someone different who will likely push a similar agenda (outsided ACA). They all the same! Too easily influenced by big business. The US policitcal platform needs to be changed from a 2 party system to a many party system. Give all the parties an equal shot!

We both posted our beliefs no need to keep droning.

Asking women to make sure they think about who they vote for instead of just pulling a level(pressing a button) for the heck of it ?

You are saying women deserve more respect, but the video wasnt disrespectful. Again, if it had been about just voting for anyone because they had a nice smile, you would have a point ( which is also how your original comments made it seem you thought the video was about), but it doesnt. the video is saying be responsible with your actions just like with sex.

They revoke driving priveledges for poor/drunk drivers. Why not revoke voting priveledges for those who make equally poor and damaging voting decisions?

The same idiots, however, will be lining up to vote for the very same liberal (just with a different name) in the following elections. Sometimes a moron gets what they deserve.
This is a hugely offensive post. Wow a constutionalist who wants voting rights revoked. Right wingers are all the same: dumb-asses!

Obviously we all dont. But the point is that President Obama had nothing to do with this ad.
