From a republican strategy memo:
We have a very serious problem in the GOP dealing with the youth vote. I am afraid that we are in danger of losing an entire generation. If the Republican Party does not address this issue we are going to be a minority party for many, many years. They are an entirely new generation where there has been great societal changes that reflect the way they think. This is a generation who has been so coddled they weren’t even allowed to ride down the sidewalk in their tricycle without a helmet. They are fragile, sensitive, and think that the world revolves around them.
As a student of history, I realize this is nothing new. What is new is the way this new generation of voters has been cocooned. They weren’t allowed to play on a swing without having anti-bacterial hand sanitizer squirted on their little fingers before being handed a ‘heart healthy’ snack. They must sit in booster seats in the back of a car until they are a certain height because the front air bags designed for further protection can be lethal. Are their back-packs too heavy? They can’t play tag or dodge ball. And the ages old tried and true grading system may hurt their self-esteem...
We need to face the fact that we are dealing with a younger generation of voter who is not as well educated as were previous generations, simply because of the pathetic educational system we now have. They are what I call 2nd Generation Day Care. As a rule they have no table manners. They are selfish and self-righteous...They need rules and regulations. (What they really need is the Draft...
So then, what can we as parents to to turn this generation of uneducated, egotistical, belching pansies into respectable republicans? I'm certain John McCain, in order to keep his promise to stay in Iraq for 100 years, and start a war with Iran, will have to bring back the draft.
So the return of the draft will help. Bit what else can we do to get these fart-happy little pampered princesses to vote republican?
