"Can McCain Narrow The Youth Gap?"

Republicans have consciously and methodically charged their election campaigns and political offices to America''s youth for 30 years. Our $10 trillion Reagan/Bush debt was politically POPULAR when it was being charged to our youth, cuz it meant Republicans could give tax cuts to their constituents AND still ladle on the gov''t pork!! Win-WIN!! (unless you''re under 30).

Now, its 2008, can this Republican win over the youth vote??? Sure!!! All he has to do is pay down the debt in some way that doesn''t horridly impact their lives.

Gosh, thanks to that debt, did the dollar just slide, making most dollar-holders second class citizens of the world? Oh well, no chance then.

We''ll all be lucky if our youth don''t rise up and lynch us.
