Hi bentway; You're quoting me out of context, dumbass. Here's what I wrote: "The best the Republicans could hope for (or better, the Tea Party which is the small government branch of the Republicans) is maybe 55% of the youth vote." See Message 29509786 for the full post. And here's how you quoted me: ""the Tea Party which is the small government branch of the Republicans) is maybe 55% of the youth vote.." This is typical of the left wing and why they have such difficulty recognizing truth. You see what you want to see. Or maybe you don't understand parentheses, so let me parse it for you. The basic sentence is: "The best the Republicans could hope for is maybe 55% of the youth vote." The modifier "(or better, the Tea Party which is the small government branch of the Republicans)" is a modification of "the Republicans". It doesn't stand by itself as you wrote it. The meaning is that the best that the Tea Party side of the Republican party could hope from the youth vote is even less than the 55% that the Republicans could hope for. It's the Tea Party branch of the Republican party that's against big government. The Bush / Romney part are basically democratic politicians who couldn't get nominated by the Democrats because they're too white, LOL. All this is in the context of some hypothetical future where seniors are trying to out vote youth in order to collect money from the government. So in that hypothetical future, the seniors have switched to Democrat and the youth are voting against them as Republican. And what I'm saying is that such a future doesn't make sense in terms of a viable Republican party. It would be a solid Democrat victory, election after election. -- Carl
