    Neither. This post of yours doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the young today are left leaning and the right is a dying breed.

    Yeah, yeah... Romney by a landslide... Didn't happened now did it?

    You (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) and moan about Hillary but look at what alternative you're presenting to the country. I wouldn't let any of them manage a convenience store, much less a country. A bunch of either total moron or religious freaks.

    well if you just want to turn this into a big match of name calling and disrespect, you sir, are a ninny!

    however if you'd like to exchange opinions and beliefs and really dig deep into that exchange by all means continue and expand upon your ideas... but if you run out of things to say, perhaps its better just to remain silent and allow people to digest your previously comments then blow up and turn this into a slander war with names... Romney, according to democrats early on didn't have any chance, but he closed the polls and had a genuine chance to win, he didn't, but according to the statements made he should never have had any chance because liberals are growing more than the "old evil rich white people" to paraphrase your context...

    if conservatives were a dying breed, why did so many elections swing their way... whats even more amazing is why did people who vote for Obama in that election, then turn and vote for conservatives in the house, senate, and governor races across the country... we saw people voting for BOTH political parties on a single ballot... I think that is probably the most under discussed topic in the country... people felt compelled to vote for both political parties in many instances yet nobody seems to bring that topic up if so many like to brag they are going to take over the future...

    anyhow to summarize... more democrats lost elections than won elections in the last cycle... so your theory that democrats are taking over, simply does not hold up to the results... I don't want to turn this into a who's more right or has better political ideas... I wanted to turn this into a debate, why can one democrat get such an amazing audience, and another democrat can barely muster up a crowd... by your theory it shouldn't matter what democrat is there because they are taking over... yet only one democrat has been able to actually SHOW thats truly the case... its not a knock on democrats, its a curious observation about your logic and conclusion that does not match up with the end results... words and actions go together, yet only one person speaking is getting the results... thats not dismissable evidence...

    Well sadly I think we're in for a lot more disappointment in the future... when Obama was elected, and was making his speech, he had the single best opportunity in the history of this country, to end racism with his speech... he had the single best chance to squash the division... I was hoping, and expecting him to get up on stage, and say something to the effect of... "I am NOT the first black president, I am an AMERICAN president"... (wait for monstrous applause that lasts minutes)...

    I think something as simple, and direct as that powerful statement, would have revolutionized how we all see each other in this country... it would change what we think an american is... it would have dramatically shifted us from division by color, to acceptance of the melted pot... that no american can be defined any other way than simply as an american... we're not irish, german, african, mexican... we're all americans...

    sadly... the speech did not go the way I was hoping... and sadly, I will have to remain disappointed he has become the most divisive president in the history of america, and thats saying a lot considering we had a civil war and slavery... it just pains me to see everything people thought he was, was just dead wrong...

    P.S. it reminds me of that day in our childhood, we find out santa isn't real... its an awful day...

    Angry conservatives don't want a race war, we just want honest government.

    Petty racist race-baiting liberals are standing in the way of that.

    Ok did you just say what you just did? "he can barely run a business??" ....Unless you are in the likes of Bill Gates that was quite a misinformed statement to make.

    Maybe it is time to burn our flags, but for many reasons not only for racism...

    And the fact that he's faced failures and come out ahead. He overcame adversity and challenges. I'd say that's the mark of success.

    Well if the young remain left leaning, and conservatism means 'no change', then the day will come when their left leaning will be looked on as conservatism, and what is conservatism today will be looked on as being left leaning.

    Anyway I'm not against social conservatism which really means going back to having boundaries on human behavior, but not fiscal conservatism since it has gotten out of hand. well at least Karl Marx what right in that...but not in anything else.

    And he's overcome it to become successful again. The mark of a champion. Free market enterprise contains risk. With risk comes rewards. That is what makes life worthwhile. Socialists claim to eliminate risk, but they don't, do they? Despite all the regulations and fines, we still have failures, don't we? People getting sick in restaurants, oil spills, etc. Regulations have FAILED to prevent these things, haven't they?

    He's filed for bankruptcy 4 times. 4 times! That's not overcoming a setback to become a champion, that's a track record of failure. This guy is so inept at handling a business, he suckers YOU conservatives into bankrolling him. That's right, he's playing YOU to bankroll his companies. Trump isn't using his money for this campaign, he's using YOURS. He knows he won't get the nomination, he's counting on it, he just wants the free handout from suckers willing to shell out money to his bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    Trump knows who a sucker is, hell it's you people that paid for Pailin's bus vacation around the country.

    Hell, you all already set up a failing pizza parlor owner for life with donations because they came out against gays and made up a stupid lie.

    Your just bankrolling his next moronic reality show where he say's "Your fired"

    Young people are ALWAYS left leaning, except for the highly religious. Don't you get that? It takes some experience and life lessons to begin to understand how it works and then more conservative leanings begin to happen. The difference here is that Democrats have a better sales tactic. It goes something like this... "Trust us, and we'll give you free stuff." Most young people hear that and say gimmie, gimmie. SOLD!!! If you hook enough of them so that they're completely dependent on you, you've got a lifer. Republicans aren't like that. They don't want people dependent on anyone. Its a tougher sell obviously and less sexy than "Hope and Change". Lie and CHeat was more like it. Being Left is easy....other people will take care of you even if you ^$&#&# up. Being Right is harder....self reliance, responsibility. Young people will generally take the path of least resistance.

    The Left is also much better at lying and demonizing the other side. Its barely even a contest.

    It can't be neither. Either they're a positive or negative influence. The answer is obvious. They're having a negative impact for everyone except those who are profiting off their low wages.

    Struck a nerve there, eh boy?
    Such hatred spewing forth from you. In this day and age.
    And you have yet to refute my points.
    No matter. I'll give you another. The software company that got the contract for the socialist health care system. A failure in the free market. He also failed with the government website. And then was paid 1.5 million to fix his own mistake. Easy to do when you steal money from others to pay for it (taxes).
