[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1958143, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Really? That old chestnut again? Well, let's see. There was an on-the-street survey taken back on Tuesday of a bunch of different "young folks" that were out and about. They were asked who it was that won the debate between Obama and Romney and almost all said that it was Obama with no questions. When asked if they watched the whole 1 1/2 hour debate and again it was almost all that said they did. Then when asked if there was any particular point or discussion topic that they thought was the best, they really "couldn't think of any particular one that was any better for Obama than the others." There was just one problem with the survey. It was taken 6 to 8 hours BEFORE the debate on Tuesday night. Other on-the-street surveys that have even been taken by the likes of the comedy hosts like Dennis Miller, Colbert and others have shown that many of them can't name who the Vice President or Secretary of State of the Unites States is. As an "old, conservative" gentleman, am I supposed to be worried about them solving the problems of us older folks? Really? As for "influencing" the youth, we'd rather teach them how to use critical thinking to determine what works and what doesn't. It is better to ask them questions and let them reason out the answers rather than try to "influence" malleable young people as the liberals try to do to bring them into the liberal mantra of "tax and spend and regulate the heck out of business." I remember liberals some years ago trying to convince me that the liberals were more progressive and willing to try new things and conservatives wanted to stick to the same old things that they always believed in. So, I asked them, "If the liberals are so prepared to "progress" and try new things, why are they so adamant to NEVER try vouchers in education?" No answer. When asked were they prepared to try tactics other than "tax and spend and regulate," again there were no answers. I'm not too worried as I know that the American citizens are more of a center right persuasion because a number of polling organizations, including liberal ones, find that there are more people polled that say that they consider themselves either conservative or somewhat conservative than there are that say they are liberal or somewhat liberal. However, I've long said that only one poll means anything and that is the elections themselves. The 2010 elections showed the Democrats that they were losers. The house was taken back with even a larger majority than thought, a number of Democrat governors lost to Republicans, including in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and elsewhere, and over 620 Democrat legislators lost their jobs to Republicans in the state legislatures around the country.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
