CNN Headline News: Rock The Vote/Vote or Die: Failure

CNN Headline News | 11-3-04

[My Favorite Headache]

No link to this yet but will be one shortly...was on Headline News....estimates show P.Diddy and Russel Simmons "Vote or Die" project failed miserably yesterday and was actually over shadowed by the Christian Youth Vote 4 to 1.

Estimates show some 47% of those who were newly registered....slept in or were no show's.

Rock The Vote hoped to achieve some 25 million new voters to the polls...estimates show they got 6 million.

How can Rock the Vote or Vote or die be a failure? More people turned out than ever to vote. Unless it was a DNC trick, then yes, it failed!!!

HAHAHA

[manic4organic]

Anyone know how to email MTV?

[toddlintown]

Register, do a blunt, stay at home.

[Visioneer]

I want my MTV...

...not!

[adam_az]

JOHN KERRY IS A MISERABLE FAILURE!

It's so sweet to say that. Like honey on the lips!

[Mikey_1962]

Rock up on this!

[Moconservative]

I guess they all died! LOL!

[evets]

Hey! P. Diddy...

[saigon]

This is in bad taste but......

So if they didn't vote, did they die?

Every year it's always about the youth vote. Another myth busted.

[diamond6]

Laughing myself silly.

[sarasota]

Check this out.

[mabelkitty]

Then they died, obviously.

Whatever happened to the cell phone voters that were going to blast Bush out of the White House? You know, the unpollables?

[anymouse]

Once again liberals fail to deliver on each side of their promise. :)

[My2Cents]

Vote or Die

Then die.

[Cubs Fan]

guess that draft scare lie didn't work.

[Uncle Miltie]

If "Vote or Die" were true, morgues would be filled with youth today.

[writer33]

"Estimates show some 47% of those who were newly registered....slept in or were no show's."

Miserable failure.

[spodefly]

What about the "Vagina Vote"? How did the muffins do?

[Another Thought]

False assumption that all young people are mindless boobs who will do what a rap artist or film maker tell them to do. Most of the young people I know are great moral kids. Voted Bush.

[Kenton]

Hey, at least they got a free concert out of it. I knew the Dems couldn't depend on those slackers.

I wonder how many of them blew the election off just because everybody THEY knew agreed that Bush was gonna lose, and they thought it wouldn't matter...

[mabelkitty]

Or possibly, they didn't exist and are fraudulent registrations?

[HamiltonJay]

People who can't take care of their own existence, cannot be counted on to be dependable at the ballot box... pure and simple.

Every damned election we have the same crap...the youth will swing the election, but it just never happens! Fact is, if your main concern in life is when you are going to get laid or drunk next, you aren't a reliable voter.

[MCH]

No, the message is that they DIDN'T die, therefore...

KERRY LIED!!!!!

[Cubs Fan]

I don't think they should have to die, just move to France where they belong.

(then again, that might be worse than death)

[atomicpossum]

Apathy is normal in young people. It's hormonal. Don't bother trying to change it.

[Yo-Yo]

If you could rely on 18-20 year olds to turn out and vote in numbers, the drinking age would be 18 instead of 21.

[pnz1]

How do they know none of them voted for President Bush?

[JLS]

They just don't understand that young people are not that different from the rest of America. Get outside of few elite private Universities and fewer public elite schools and they are often conservative children from the middle class.

[shankbear]

Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, WTF ever.....your punkass GOTV show was stuffed. Pimp that you puke ass punk.

[FreedomNeocon]

I still think the 'youth vote' did show up (at least 25-30), only they didn't got 90/10 to sKerry like *some* ass-u-med.

[Brett66]

47% of those who were newly registered....slept in or were no show's

Hey, you gotta have priorities. LOL!

[scott7278]

"...slept in or were no show's."

They slept in all day???

[BurbankKarl]

I saw some of that Rock the Vote crap...some rapper was talking to some dudes in the hood....I can't believe that would sway anyone...they were ignorant fools being showcased!

[Southack]

Turn on MTV today...there is *nothing* on MTV about "Rock the Vote," "Vote or Die," or even the election itself.

Why?

Because MTV only cared about using its audience. Now that the election is over, MTV doesn't even care about using them.

This is typical of how leftist elites view the masses.

[writer33]

Now, mabel. We all know Democrats wouldn't register anything fraudulently. How could you suggest such a notion? :)

[traviskicks]

hmmm I guess their draft fearmongering didn't work!

[writer33]

"they were ignorant fools being showcased!"

I pity the fool that joined with Rock the Vote.

[Impeach the Boy]

MTV is asking people who care more about getting drunk or high than where Iraq is on a world map to act "responsibly" and vote.....

...oh the irony

[arbooz]

Haliluya brother! They ALL are - democratic human waste.

[exhaustedmomma]

Vote or die...

oooopps... meant... Vote, or Don't

[Ron in Acreage]

Should be called "The Thug Vote" not the youth vote. I know a lot of youth in our church who voted for Bush. And they don't listen to C.rap music and all its vileness.

[arbooz]

Just another marketing gimmick -
to sell more crap to morons.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Rock the dead vote!...errr..um

[csvset]

Loserpalooza Tour ?!?!

[sinkspur]

Whatever happened to the cell phone voters that were going to blast Bush out of the White House? You know, the unpollables?

Young people voted the way they always vote: they don't.

I voted in my twenties, but I often voted without knowing very much. Slackers always act like slackers.

It'll be the same in 2008.

[My Favorite Headache]

Also,because the rock the vote/mtv candidate did not win last night.

All hype..no bite.

[Extremist]

I guess P-Dingleberry will have to return to being a talentless punk, Michael Moore will drown himself in lard, Jimah Carter will continue being senile and George Soros will become a monk.

And as for all you sniveling liberal dweebs threatening to leave the country....Don't let the door hit you in the A$$, and don't come back. What an improvement to the gene pool your absence would be.

[macbee]

Most of the young people I know are great moral kids. Voted Bush.

I agree completely. My son got together last night with a whole slew of his scruffy-lookin', tattoo-sportin', backwards-hat-wearin' buds and watched the returns. They celebrated like they'd won the lottery when Fox called Ohio for W!

That's what the MSM isn't catching yet: there is a significant percentage of US youth who are quite conservative. They may dress all "shtreet" and such, but they have strong moral values and want the government to focus on defending the country and staying out of our wallets.

They also think P. Diddy and his crew are morons.
