Not surprising; eventually the republican party, which is stuck in the 50s, will cease to exist in its current form. Young conservatives are less conservative than their grandparents... the whole country will shift left in the next decade or two, thankfully.
The country has been shifting socially left....and corporatist\wallstreet right.
We have 2 political parties in this country and they aren't coke and pepsi anymore....they're coke and diet coke.
One of the reasons for this is that people will clap themselves on the back over their parties empty rhetoric and not hold them accountable for results.
Speaking of which, how did you spend your part of the "record profits" we took from the oil companies back in 2006? I spent mine buying beer for the guys that found Saddams WMD's.
Young Voters Keep Moving to the Left on Social Issues, Republicans Included
By Dan Levin
Each succeeding generation of Americans tends to be more progressive than those that came before, Ms. Bennion noted, a trend that potentially poses a long-term threat to the Republican Party’s power.
Crow all you want. Eventually the 20, soon to be 21 trillion dollar debt is going to really start mattering, and there isn't going to be a dime for your liberal freebies and it's not going to matter what your progressive youth wants. Socialism stops working when you run out of other people's money.
... until the country runs out of rich folk to pay for the leftward shift.
Dont worry. Rich will still buy congress.
Make some leftish noise then vote to keep big pharma oligopoly power, or big cable TV power, or something else anti competitive and monopolistic.
