Republicans play to young voters' discontent

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44559820/ns/politics-decisi... /

Bad jobs numbers have young voters disappointed, possibly apathetic before 2012

CHICAGO — The young people in the ad look dissatisfied and pouty. Barack Obama's voice and the words "winning the future," from one of his old campaign speeches, echo in the background.

"You're LOSING my future," says one young man.

The ad — which has aired during sportscasts, reality TV shows and late-night comedy programs popular with younger people — was produced for the College Republican National Committee. It is an attempt to play on the fears that haunt college campuses — fears that they won't find jobs, fears that they'll be living with less than their parents did.

Their fears are, of course, far from exclusive to their generation. But some say the fact that it has taken hold in a voting bloc that helped usher the president into office on a wave of hope and change provides a big opening for Republicans — unless the president can find a way to get them fired up again.

Well, boo-****ing-hoo.

This was "good" when the Magic One did it in 2008, playing to the discontent of the young.

So tell me, grouchy old one, what's wrong with it?

Exactly. This is the cynical move by Perry, e.g., to convince them SS is a "Ponzi scheme."

2. ah, but what if youth discontent with Obama is due to the President's use of conservative policies, and the consequences thereof?

something tells me this ad campaign isn't going to be a big draw

Do we have a "disconnected from reality" smiley here?

....has been seen, and can't be unseen.

You weren't meant to see it, though, sir; I "modified" a previous comment so it wouldn't show up on anybody's list as "unread post," so as to save sensitivities.

You'd already read the unillustrated version.

Anyway, it's brought a lot of lurking primitives over here, at least a dozen with Illinois-based ISPs--I'm hoping Don the grouchy old primitive has been here, as he was meant to see it.
