It is definitely showing the generational turnover in the politcal arena. I think many younger people are starting to wake up and realize that it will be their responsibility to clean up all the that the system has been flinging around for decades.
I'm still sadened and continually frustrated by the amount of young people that don't care about politics and governmental policies. Ignorance, complacency, and laziness are really slowing political progress down. I hope the '10 CPAC is an indication that my generation is in the midst of an awakening.
I agree with mrjarrell, I'm glad to see Sarah Palins small representation on the poll. It makes sense to me as it seems that most of her supporters are males over the age of 40.......and we all know why
I hear you brother. As our generation gains its voice things will get very interesting. The so called "conservative" values of the GOP will not last long. I see my generation identifying themselves as Liberty minded and even libertarian.
A big thing that I have noticed is the tolerance for BS is next to nothing with young conservatives. As soon as someone is outed as being a party to big government they are left for dead. And right now the major pundits trying to keep up but may be painting themselves into a corner.
Allot of guys I talk to feel that they were sold out by our Parents and Grand Parents generations. The War on Everything mentality is lost to us. As the current crop of politicians talk about the wars on drugs, poverty, terrorism, and wtf ever, all we hear is failure to do anything but spend money and cost us our freedom.
