College student...politics

Funny, how young people have selected a presidential candidate without the slightest idea of why... Consider this exchange of thoughts with a beautiful 23 year old college student, with a major in "liberal science"... will graduate in May. I asked her who she liked in the coming election...of course, no surprise, Billery. I asked "why"? What traits and political pluses she admired most, to sway her to vote for Billery... She rambled on about her "experience" in the political arena, her knowledge of "world affairs", had a LOT of influence over her husband during his term in office (excuse me....that message seems to be selling in the younger set....) and knew how to handle the economy..... I then asked her if she was for same sex marriage...she answered NO... If she was for open boarder's...answered NO... Amnesty for illegals and if giving driver's licenses to "illegals" was a good idea....answered NO. Was she in favor of sancturay cities...after some explaining...answred NO. If we are actually seriously short on oil...and the price keeps going up to support OPEC, would she consider our oil companies drilling for billions of gallons of oil, off shore, ANWAR, Southern States, etc. etc. because of the glut we have (but can't drill for!) she thought that'd be a good idea.... When I told her Billery was FOR all the things she is against, I again asked if that made any difference? NOPE? If the "under 30 children" actually cast votes, with the lack of understanding the consequences that will surly befall us, WE'RE IN A HELL'VA MESS. I did'nt, sadly, have the opportunity to ask her what her thoughts were on Iraq and what to do there...I'm sure I know the answer. What's most dissappointing to me, is asking a lot of young people what their thoughts are on the coming election and the State of Affairs of our Nation...most readily admit they have no idea...what's worse than that, is that they DON'T GIVE A SHIT! They vote! God Help Us... Larry H
