America's Youth (Bristol Palin) Didn't Vote Yesterday
Even though Bristol Palin was dancing in California on the television last night, she still should have sent in her ballot absentee, because voting is just what white rural folks do , and that's how their candidates win elections. But this morning, as the sun continues to hover over Alaska, Joe Miller is crying because Bristol gave his Senate seat to "Total Write-In" by not voting. “I did not send in my absentee ballots to Alaska," she apparently told Bill O'Reilly's Inside Edition . Wait, absentee ballots ? How many ballots did Sarah collect for her daughter? Maybe she really did cost Joe Miller that election, by neglecting her duties when her mother wasn't there to whip her into filling out 10,000 absentee ballots.
Give us some context, The Hill :
Palin, currently competing on "Dancing with the Stars," said this may disappoint her mother, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). “I’m going to be in trouble. Sorry, mom!”
Bristol Palin's home state is the site of one of the year's most hotly contested Senate races, between write-in candidate Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) and Tea Party favorite Jeff Millerr, who was strongly supported by Sarah Palin.
Haha, "Jeff Millerr"? If you're going to post dumb stories about Bristol Palin like us, The Hill , at least spell the politics parts correctly.
Meanwhile, Facebook knows that Bristol must persevere dancing on this crap teevee show because it is her job, and all single mothers must work.
Anyway, Democrats lost yesterday obviously because the youth didn't vote, but the youth didn't vote because each and every one of them was starring on a dance-related reality teevee show all day yesterday. [ The Hill / Facebook ]
These young people just don't realize yet that since they didn't vote, all the teabaggers got elected and will now expect them to work three jobs, including "every night shift you can imagine" ala John Boehner, leaving them little time for enjoyable pursuits, like dancing on teevee shows and sliding up and down their boyfriend's hockey sticks.
The second comment by Donna Ferrel Hov: <i>&quot;... much of Bristol&#039;s generation has absolutely no idea about sacrifice or hard work.</i>
True enough, I suppose. Also true of Bristol&#039;s parent&#039;s generation. Here&#039;s a test of sacrifice (suggested by Michael Kinsley in The Atlantic): retire the National Debt for our children and grandchildren. That will require <i>sacrifice</i> and <i>hard work</i> in the form of vastly reduced social security, medicare benefits; higher taxes (as with no over 65 deduction).
So who&#039;s up for some sacrifice and hard work? Anybody? Anybody?
