The Sound of the Crowd

Good news, Vivian

The Knight-Ridder Washington Bureau asked some Young Republicans a question…

(quotes in bold, my comments normal text)

Would you be willing to put on the uniform and go to fight in Iraq?

“Frankly, I want to be a politician. I’d like to survive to see that,” said Vivian Lee, 17, a war supporter visiting the convention from Los Angeles, </b>

You know, if Bill Clinton made America’s youth obsessed with blow jobs, then surely George W. Bush has made chickenhawkery a rung on the ladder to political success.

Lee said she supports the war but would volunteer only if the United States faced a dire troop shortage or “if there’s another Sept. 11.”

“As long as there’s a steady stream of volunteers, I don’t see why I necessarily should volunteer,” said Lee.</b>

Good news, Vivian. We’re facing a dire troop shortage. The stream of volunteers has dried up. See you at the recruiting office on monday, girlfriend!

“If there was a need presented, I would go,” said Chris Cusmano, a 21-year-old member of the College Republicans organization from Rocky Point, N.Y.

Good news, Chris…
