Hopefully they have figured out that what he says and what he does never quite match up.

That’s the great thing about college-age voters. There’s a new batch of them to fool every four years.

And just wait ‘til the kids catch on to the fact that the whole reason for the hated mandate in Obamacare is to make them join up for insurance that they otherwise probably wouldn’t require or want so their premiums, which won’t be needed to pay for medical care for them, can go instead to cover care for older and more medically at risk enrollees -

Women Vote for Men They Like

Do women vote for men they like?
Do men vote for who the women like?
If “like” is what determines political victory,
Then an incompetent orator is all one needs to be.

The 70 % voted through their mascara,
And brought about hopey change-a
With nary a care-a.

Will History repeat, I ask you now,
Or will the can be kicked down the road,
By a “like-able” RINO, somehow?

Who will stand and deliver,
And slash the Welfare State?
Will he be “liked” instead of GREAT?

Will 2012 by a transition vote,
Setting us up for a for financial disaster?

Maybe it is time to remove the mascara,
And look to the grandchildren far in the future?
Will they also put on the mascara,
And vote for THEIR incompetent orator?

LOL, excellent!

But, it got me thinking - perhaps “Women Only Vote for Men...Who Promise Them Money”!

This idea came from watching, (this week), Diane Sawyer news anchoring the 6 o’clock news, and she said, “In the past we usually vote for people we like.”

Then I saw your 70% stat. on support by single women, and I posed the question in short-hand form, which for me is my feeble attempt at poetry.

Can we escape the cycle?
Are we doomed to repeat?
Can REASON vanquish Oratory?
Must men accept mascara defeat?

Money to a groupie,
Rates lower than the words,
Lower than the flair
That thrills her ‘neath her curls - - - .

Men are the smaller number.
We trust no politician.
We will follow the leader
Into the gates of Hell,
But only if he has that something
That says “LET”S GIVE ‘EM HELL!”

All the young people I know LOVE Ron Paul.

And yet the GOP won't even give that demographic the time of day.

It is as if the GOP-e is trying to tell the public what they will get instead of asking what they want.

Reminds me of Microsoft. You get it our way.
