We've all seen them. The W sticker on the window or bumper of a car. I have often thought that TPOTUS enjoyed strong support among college age students. One thing for sure is that they stand behind him and support him and his policies. And indeed are willing help the President to reach his goals.
So, I couldn't but find this somewhat amusing:

MATTHEWS: Welcome back.

Here at HARDBALL, we salute everyone at every age getting involved in politics, obviously. So, we brought together two young leaders to tell us what they think of politics today. Chris Galloway is president of the Young Democrats of America. And Jason Mattera is the spokesman for the Young America‘s Foundation, which is a conservative group.

Jason, you‘re 21, right?

JASON MATTERA, SPOKESMAN, YOUNG AMERICA‘S FOUNDATION: That‘s correct, Chris.

MATTHEWS: And how old are you, Chris Galloway?

CHRIS GALLOWAY, PRESIDENT, YOUNG DEMOCRATS OF AMERICA: I‘m 28.

MATTHEWS: OK.

Let me ask you about—both you gentlemen, but starting with you, Jason. What are you guys—what do people your age think about the war in Iraq right now, as it is going, as we‘re fighting this to try to get the Iraqis to take over the fighting? What‘s the view of your group?

MATTERA: I think my group is supporting President Bush on this matter. We‘re looking to defeat the terrorists.

MATTHEWS: Where? In Iraq.

MATTERA: In Iraq. Of course in Iraq.

And there—you won‘t see on college campuses, as you did in the 1960s, these rampant protests, these obstruction of classroom, these—the book burning, everything that went down. I think kids are more conservative today. And I think groups such as the Young America‘s Foundation help that—help mold that conservatism.

MATTHEWS: Would you like to enlist them? You‘re 21. You‘re eligible to serve. Would you like to serve in this war?

MATTERA: I‘m fighting the battle for ideas. I‘m fighting...

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: No, I‘m just asking a particular question. Would you like to enlist in this war?

MATTERA: No, because I‘m fighting a separate battle. I‘m fighting—we‘re fighting the culture war here, but I‘m also supporting the battle that‘s raging in Iraq.

MATTHEWS: Well, what kind of people should fight in this war, if not you?

MATTERA: Those who want to, those who want—who feel the desire, who have the passion to go over to Iraq. I have many friends who are in Iraq myself, people from my church, people who I graduated with.

MATTHEWS: Yes.

MATTERA: They went to go fight over there. I‘m here. I‘m fighting

the culture war right now. Both need to be fought and both need to be won

by conservatives.

MATTHEWS: Paul Hackett, a Democratic candidate for Congress who just lost that close election in Ohio, referred to the president as a chicken hawk, somebody who supports war, but doesn‘t fight it. What do you think of that phrase, chicken hawk?

MATTERA: I don‘t like the phrase chicken hawk.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: Why not?

MATTERA: Because it doesn‘t fit. I don‘t think President Bush...

MATTHEWS: It means you talk hawk, but you act chicken.

MATTERA: Yes, I understand that, but I don‘t think that President Bush is a chicken hawk.

Which one is from Texas?

Bot

gotta love it.. most of the vehicles with the W on it are frign huge suv's or pickup trucks.. in my neck of the woods

Southernstar,
It's cool that you're in Alabama (red state) and you seem to be aware of the fact that W is a total F'UP. YOu are probably in the minority, but that seems to be changing.
I can't see that schmuck making to the end of his 2nd term.
He should be impeached and then charged for war crimes against the USA.

just my 2c

"..I'll take a simple "C" to "G" and feel brand new about it..."

And?

I think that perhaps that instead of going "four wheeling", that maybe they could support TPOTUS.

Any interests other than attacking the present administration? Hobbies? Cars? Family? Interesting fungal growths? So far all I've seen are a stream of politically charged opinions.

Seems familiar.

Bot

Of course BOT...you are not adding to this 'stream', by saying an open debate of opinions is disallowed ...according to your slant on this ?

Your argument is 'charged' ...implication indicates point of view.

Strikes me, you have a politically opinionated leaning.....judging by your history of posts. Of course, I could be wrong...No ?

"A liberal is someone who feels they owe a great debt to their fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money."

As you well know or can easily find out, I rarely start political threads. Mostly I post interesting science or natural events or philosophy.

However, I comment heavily on political threads that other people start. Those that I find especially galling look like they have a fundamental intellectual dishonesty. You know, like being slyly provacative and feigning honest intentions.

But you wouldn't know anybody like that, would you?


Bot

Why a change of heart, Bot? As I recall, you vehemently supported this Presidency and this war. Now, you want to avoid the subject altogether, hmmmmmm.................... Is that a trait of your supported party, by chance?

How has Bot avoided the subject?

You recall poorly.

I vote Libertarian. I am not a Republican. I support the objectives in Iraq, but not for the same reason as the Administration.

How many times have I explained my reasons? A half-dozen? Please, please don't tell me you didn't read any of those inspirational, important missives.

Bot

For the most part, I don't post missives anymore as they seem to be addressed to a brick wall....

Who me, BOT ? I resemble those remarks....I think.

Ever watch the people with Kerry stickers on their cars drive...?

Usually with a phone jamed in their ear wandering over all the lanes and then some and then they get indignant when you pass them....they actually think they are the center of the universe.

Usually in a Big SUV...with some save the planet bumper sticker on it....I mean...DUHHHHHH!
