Talking Poilitics
Nick Shalosky makes a plea for change:
It interests me that this many people are looking for radical change, but I don’t see anyone doing much about it. People all around me ask where are the youth, the college students, all of the radical hippies? Where are they? Shut out. At the South Carolina State convention it was evident. I witnessed many young people trying to do what they believe in, trying to stand up for what is worth fighting for, but there was no support to be found. I have heard the media redundantly call the election in the hands of the “league of first time voters,” but all I see is a continuous power struggle inside the “old time politics.
I think the Dems must wake up or fade into irrelevance. If the latter happens, here’s hoping they don’t take the country down with them.
Earl Capps asks if th GOP is relevant:
Whether the issues are fiscal conservatism and governmental ethics, where their credibility has been severely damaged, or issues like energy prices and health care, issues of high importance with voters, where they are painfully silent, Republicans may be talking, but for the first time in a long time, nobody’s listening.
