Smart Young People = Ron Paul | Dumb Young People = Obama

[Joe3113]

That's the impression I get. Just gotta wake them up on monetary policy.

ha ha yup

Dumb and confused

 

[pickfair]

That's true.

 

[Spirit of '76]

Pretty much sums it up...

Dumb and confused

I agree with the "confused", not necessarily "dumb", just uninformed.

Obama has something that Ron Paul doesnt, and that is CHARISMA.

I know you and i think ron has it, but the reality is he comes off as ecentric old man who slumps over to take a nap when it isn't his turn to talk for 20 seconds.

Obama comes off like a slightly less poised John F. Kennedy.
He has CHARM, and he INSPIRES HOPE.

Beyond that, his platform sucks donkey, and he is hopelessly clueless about the country. But most young people are clueless about their country as well, and therefore they will gravitate to the one candidate who reaches out to their disenfranchisement ... and that is Obama ...

sadly, he does NOT have the platform that accurately backs the rhetoric he talks.
I believe that HE believes he has the right policies, but that is pure naievete talking.

Unfortuantely, a naive country will tend to elect a naive man, so long as that man speaks with character and charm.

I'm surrounded by dumb young people at university. I agree with OP.

 

[Birdlady]

We need to be recruiting Obama's supporters not insulting them!

 

[walt]

lazy

 

[literatim]

I think ignorant better describes them than dumb. They are ignorant of the issues.

I'm in the exact same situation. It's not just a matter of following RP's message. They're absolutely uninformed about this country's history, or the world's history for that matter. It gets me depressed everytime, which is why I'm so pleased to see that the RP Revolution seems to be working - and it has a lot of young people in it!

 

[mmarcman22]

The problem is there are alot more dumbies!

The average young person i come across who supports Barack Obama only like him because hes black/mixed and dont even know what he stands for. Its really frustrating.

 

[parke]

I gotta agree. Obamma is a good speaker.. but brings nothing.

 

[Richandler]

Well stupid young people are a direct result of the horrible public education system. The reason California is so socialist I believe is a result of being 49th in the already horrible education system.

I understand... SO well... it's frustrating as hell.

 

[traitorist]

and its more frustrating to see Ron Paul squander valuable time tonight doodling instead of fighting for opportunities to speak.

 

[yongrel]

They are neither confused nor dumb. They are uninformed.

They are mad as hell, but they don't know how to change it.

Don't insult them, educate them.

 

[AFTFNJ]

Its all about the right information. So far the majority of the American public has the wrong information.

I didn't really like that Paul declared his supporters young people. He made a valid point with it, however he may have alienated some of the population with the comment. The fact is that the supporters of Ron Paul are here because we support the ideas that he stands for. Period.
