Two larger-than-life politicians, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan, charged into the California governor’s office with the help of young voters, many of whom were drawn to the Republican Party by a message of sunny optimism.

But what those two very different Republican politicians did to attract millions of young adults looks to be a feat the Grand Old Party may not repeat anytime soon - either in California or on the national level in the 2008 presidential election.

A Democracy Corps poll from the Washington firm of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner suggests voters ages 18 to 29 have undergone a striking political evolution in recent years.Young Americans have become so profoundly alienated from Republican ideals on issues including the war in Iraq, global warming, same-sex marriage and illegal immigration that their defections suggest a political setback that could haunt Republicans “for many generations to come,” the poll said.

There is more from this article here, but while reading I’m thinking to myself why I would give a fuck about what young people are thinking and how they feel in general about one particular political party over another, knowing the liberal media propaganda environment that currently exists.

“I think you have to be concerned when you have some (Republican) people who are saying that global warming is a hoax and that status quo for health care is acceptable,” said Adam Mendelsohn, the communications director for Schwarzenegger.

Duh, global warming IS a fucken hoax and only young people are dumb enough to promote this over hyped fraud. Thanks to K-12 public school brainwashing and fear mongering.

C’mon, what do young people care about, drinking, drugs, sex, cars, skank watching and American Idol.

The youth of today have been “brainwashed” by a youth-oriented liberal media and liberal blog sites to believe that Republicans can’t do anything right and that democrats always have the answer. This is why you see majorities for the Democrats on issues like terrorism or taxes. They just have an automatic reflex nowadays to spite Republicans on every damm thing.

Who populates journalism schools across the nation? Young liberals who say “I want to make a difference.” and they grow up to be old hippie liberals who say, “I’m going to change the world whether you like it or not!”

Young folks are (shockingly) disenchanted with the entire political system, hence the “south park Republican” and most of Ron Paul’s fanatical lunacy base.

They are not necessarily against conservative principles, they just have been conditioned, by Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, environmentalists’ wackos, university intellectual elite types, to believe GOP politicians “in particular” are the evil ones.

Young people obviously believe that the war in Iraq or ANY war is wrong and conflict is magically restored by fantasy diplomacy.

Global warming must be real because well history begins when you were born and most of these young folks bitching about global warming are too stupid to scan back just a few short years when idiot scientists told everyone that we would be freezing our assets off right now. They have effectively been brainwashed into this warped faux reality.

On same-sex marriage, why sure it’s logical to young left leaning types that we all should be free to marry whomever we wish and we all should just shut-up and respect those “rights”, plez.

And don’t get me started with illegal immigration, if white students started being affected by Mexicans grabbing college admission spots or young rural whites started seeing lower wage jobs scooped up by illegal immigrants they too would be bitching about “those people.”

I don’t know about y’all but I don’t formulate my political views based on poll numbers, media scrutiny, and peer pressure. And I would hope that my chosen elected officials would not do so either.

What this story does not point out that is more of a growing problem for Democrats is the exodus of the young black voter from the Democrat Party.

As many as 35% of younger black voters now identify as independent, rather than Democrat. Forty-seven percent of African Americans deserted the Democratic nominee in the 2005 New York City mayoral race to re-elect the Independent Republican Mike Bloomberg. Last year, 32% of Augusta, Georgia voters rejected a Democrat incumbent state legislator and cast ballots for the black independent Helen Blocker-Adams. Black America is no longer a political monolith. Traditional partisan politics have lost their appeal. (source)

So while articles like this one seek to publish the demise of the Republican Party because a few disenchanted young folks watch too much Olbermann, they better keep an eye on the growing scrutiny that people of color are beginning to voice against Democrats.

Back to the disgruntled youth, as far as I’m concerned Republican “leaders” who sacrifice principles to cater to young nitwits who have no intention on voting Republican anyway, simply need to consider switching political parties.

Many may state that there is not much difference between the two political parties, but anyone who is honest with themselves know there is a great deal of difference in ideology but those lines are blurred as politicians govern more with financial incentives in mind rather than core ideology.
To deny the existence of corrupt, money scamming politicians on both sides of the political isle has their head in the sand.

I’m more concerned about the engaged intelligent youth voter, rare I know.
Quick example: I was having a conversation with a “Young Democrat” about recent headlines concerning Obama.
Now keep in mind this young lady is suppose to be a BIG supporter of his.

While questioning her on his stance on some key issues she was hard pressed to give me specific details and had not REALLY focused on some of his recently expressed policy views.

I came to the conclusion that her focus was not on Obama and his ideology but how the support of his campaign can net her potential job results down the road. Supporting his candidacy was simply a resume builder and the equivalent of being in a sorority group.

I see way too many young people who simply find if fashionable to portray themselves knowledgeable in today’s political world but most of it is frankly superficial.
If they missed the latest Daily Show, they are not up on the day’s current events and don’t have what most would consider valid political views. “I don’t know why I like Democrats, they just seem nicer and more tolerant”

So as I said in the beginning, why would I give a fuck what young people are thinking, particularly when they don’t know what to think?
