By ReadHead: I was born in 1988. I was 12 years old when President Bush was "elected". I will cast my first vote in the 2008 election... the American political system has been dominated by the incompetence of the Bush administration. One might expect such a repulsive executive would lead to outrage among the youth... Instead, it's lead to widespread apathy and detachment... Instead of taking to the streets with signs and songs, the youth has taken no unified public action... Basically, we lack inspired leadership... Policy-wise, no leader has articulated a position that engages the youth enough to activate us... If the Democrats are counting on this generation for their future well-being, they had better adjust their television screens. They're risking creating the most politically-disengaged generation ever. This is what the Republicans are counting on, because when these MBAs-to-be grow up primarily concerned with their finances, that's who they'll turn to.
