Sounds like the Kalifornia GOP.

And getting good educations to prepare them for business or government work... it's been kind of effective too considering how few people called themselves Republican in the 70's and how that has changed.

Most of these outfits are social clubs or networking efforts to enhance one's career. It has been that way since rocks cooled.

I tried to get involved with the College Republican'ts at my university on several occasions, and I was blown off each time. They were more interested in getting involved in local elections, networking, and schmoozing with each and every Big Time Conservative (Ann Coulter, especially!) that came to our kkkampus.

Whenever the school had debates and "roundtable discussions", at the alumni house, I was the only Conservative to show up, most of the time. I thought it would be better if there was a greater representation of the "other" point of view; that it would allow for more spirited debate... (instead of just me slapping around professors who were completely unprepared for any form of opposition.)

The Young Republicans can take heart from the SCOTUS & Roberts decision allowing Military Recruiters the same access on campus (law schools too - hehe) and know that their time of being discriminated against has run it's course.

A Roberts SC is going to transcend politics with legal decisions that will literally destroy the liberal gains since the 1970s!

Well, a movement doesn't happen by itself. Obviously, the young Repubs at NIU are not motivated/repulsed enough to get politically involved. Being a temp service for political candidates may be boot camp for the grunts. Taking the initiative on campus issues is the "officers training school" for tomorrow's leaders.
