It's a good start

And hopefully the youngens among us are starting to smarten up.

The "Millennial Generation" of young voters played a big role in the resurgence of the Democratic Party in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but their attachment to the Democratic Party weakened markedly over the course of 2009. The Democratic advantage over the Republicans in party affiliation among young voters, including those who "lean" to a party, reached a whopping 62% to 30% margin in 2008. But by the end of 2009 this 32-point margin had shrunk to just 14 points: 54% Democrat, 40% Republican
It is still a sad state that so many people are brainwashed into the notion that socialism actually works. But it's better than I expect considering that high schools, college and the media are predominantly liberal. It takes a lot of courage to think on your own and go against the grain.

This is a testament to the Tea Party movement. With out them a lot of people wouldn't have got the message and been educated to the conservative movement. I've said this thousand of times before, this is a center right country. The American public is attracted to a conservative view. They just need to here it articulated correctly. Which the tea partyers are doing.

This is what the Republican Party and the conservative has lost over the years. They did a great job getting their message out in 1994. But they stopped getting their message out after they were elected to a majority in Congress. They made the mistake thinking they had a mandate and could stop educating the public. I just hope, after the conservatives take over Congress in 2010 and 2012, that they don't stop educating the public.
