In my office yesterday... (oops... we're LIBERAL ELITE EDUCATORS)...
I am an adjunct professor of English, which is basically a nice way to say "no benefits, have a good time anyway."
I share an office with quite a few other adjuncts who usually are not all in the office at the same time. The admin is very good at figuring out who will be "in" and assigns offices accordingly.
Well, this year... not exactly.
So I'm in this little office with four professors.
And we are all in complete, jaw-dropping, pissed-off mode about this whole "Vee Pee" (imagine S.P.'s grating voice and you got it) thing.
Of course we are all brilliant. SARCASM.
But we do have a lot of years and a lot of political expertise on our side. A couple of my colleagues and I have worked for several organizations over our lives.
We are horrified so much that we don't even curtail our conversation when a student comes in for some writing help.
Finally, we ask him, point blank, what he thinks of this whole Vee Pee mess.
And, you gotta love it... you gotta thank the gods for it... you gotta take a lot of HOPE from it...
Here's his reply:
"I'm not even interested. I'm voting for Obama."
He said this with such conviction and with such a "duh" sort of matter of fact finality.
Are you listening America? The college vote is important. We have sought these young adults and we have registered them and they are ready.
In a day where I kept wondering who was going to step up and YELL to the RAFTERS "the empress has no clothes," I finally felt quiet satisfaction.
Take heart.
Even the freshmen are fooled all the time.
"I'm not even interested. I'm voting for Obama."
And with the DUmmies own writing he states the level of thought from the young head full of libtard mush. :rotf:

Hold the phone...you mean an English professor who's not even smart enough to get tenure track...is for Obama?
Are you telling me a PROFESSOR is for OBAMA? Surely you jest.
Hey, coffee-swilling book monkeys, take it from a PhD who can actually earn a living: you guys are toast, and you know it. You're greatest line is "I'm not even interested?" Where you could you have possibly gotten that from? Oh, wait, I know: every woman who ever crossed your path. :whatever:

Seems like they are hoping that, against all odds of previous elections, college students are going to show up in great numbers to vote, and this time it'll be for the Obamassiah.
And it's beyond naive to believe that students that are 18-22 years old have the maturity to know who would make a competent leader. Given most profs aren't much more mature than these students, is it any surprise the liberal acedemia continue to vote for socialists falsely believing they'll turn the world into a utopia.

Smart republican student, he learned fast how to pull the wool over liberal professors eyes to get the better grades. I didn't.
-
So professors who are supposed to support the idea of critical thinking, laud the fact that a student is not interested in even hearing an alternative point of view and is not properly(and don't they always scream about 'sheeple') 'vetting' :uhsure: each candidate out on the issues? Professor, apparently you are so impressed with yourself that you've forgotten the very heart of learning and that is curiousity, but you think it is terrific that your students have left their natural curiousity at home(unless it is drugs or other co-eds). Pitiful!
BTW, I guess the little matter of his brilliant student voting for Obama had to come in for writing help was lost on him too. Not to knock those who need the help, but really...are we supposed to be reverent to this or does it only reinforce the notion that either college kids have learned to lie to their self-centered professors to not have to interact with them so much and to get good grades AND/OR college students are not yet far enough out of the entitlement of mom and dad's house or the pell grant to understand the pipe dream the Obamessiah is trying to sell them.
I hate to tell professor Zealot, but usually the same college student that doesn't care, won't care to get his lazy ass out of bed to a voting booth either in November. That's why their votes never quite send the liberal over the edge in most cases. Your dealing with youthful complacency still.

I believe this one is 100 percent, non-bouncy, accurate. Obama probably will get 80-90 percent of the adjunct state college English teacher vote.
Luckily, it's a small demographic... :rotf:
-
so, this young college student just professed that he has no knowledge of the other candidate and is blindly pulling the lever for Obama? well, that speaks volumes about obama's minions more than it does about the GOPs..

Two bongs for this Bouncy. That's it, two bongs. No more.

I was 18 when I voted for Bush the first time, and 22 the second time.

I read this as a student seeks some help with his work. The folks who are supposed to help him, can't bother to stop their private political conversation and shut up long enough to do their job. Then they try to pull him into the conversation, wasting more of his time. He gives the answer most likely to get them to shut up, focus and do their jobs.

I'm with you, and I voted when I was 18 and 22, also. The college I went to had approx. 8,000 students. If 800 voted in 1979 & 1983 when I was there, I'd be highly surprised. If 400 voted, I'd be surprised. Most college students are more concerned with which frat is throwing the party the next weekend to even think about voting.
