I'd say Merc is right, but not for the reasons he thinks.
It's because of their apathy.

However, Merc wasn't referring to apathetic youth, quite the opposite by his own description:

Therein lies the problem with most young people who bitch, complain, protest, and have the loudest mouths on issues in our country today.

The contradiction didn't make sense at the time...

But now I see that apparently, Merc assumes that 'most young people who bitch, complain, protest, and have the loudest mouths on issues in our country today' are not registered to vote, just because he perceives a single young person who does not vote (fresh) to be a bitcher, complainer, etc.

So fresh, you must be the ambassador of 'most young people' who bitch, protest or whatever in our country. ;)

He'll get no diplomatic immunity from Merc.

Wait, I want no part in this.
Hence, my indifference to voting.

Full circle, yay!

Even if he's the one who appointed him...

A lot of people voted at UMN in 2006 but we were automatically registered and I don't know if IU has that.

The New Yorks Times digital archives first mention of Obama.

Quote:

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School. The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago’s South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii. “The fact that I’ve been elected shows a lot of progress,” Mr. Obama said today in an interview. “It’s encouraging.”

And we all know Kenya is better than Norway.

No one gets immunity.

People may not like Bush, I certainly don't. But after his term is up we're all screwed.

Atleast we're not in a Socialist state rightnow.

Please explain your thoughts here - and hello/welcome.

I don't know how well any of the candidates are going to be able to keep us alive here in the US.

Are you really that paranoid? Do you think when Bush retires in regal splendor, the government will just pack up and go home leaving you to fight the terrorists naked?
Let me assure you the US Government, juggernaut that it is, will be chugging along when you and Bush are dust.
