SMU Republicans

I spent a bit of time on Facebook yesterday, just sort of clicking from one person to another, one group to another, etc, as you do on Facebook. Lots of SMU sorority girls have their political views listed as conservative or very conservative, and they're in groups such as SMU Republicans and George W is my homeboy. In their interests they even list something about being conservative, Republican, whatever, sandwiched between shopping, the OC, and hangin' with my sistahs or something equally innane.

It drives me crazy that people who haven't had a political thought other than "Bush's ass looks good in his Wranglers" tout their conservative views. They wouldn't know conservative if it bit them on the ass. All they know is that Daddy votes for Bush. Fellow Mustangs, I'm sure you've met (or even are) the type. If you have a political conservation with these people they're very adamant about being conservative, without knowing shit about shit. Can't show them any evidence, arguments, records, or try to convince them in any way. All they know is that "I'm going to vote for [conservative] no matter what you say." They can't defend it. They can't even explain it. They barely know what's going on, but they've already made up their minds and refused to learn more. That's the most frustrating. At least I can take comfort in the fact that young people have the lowest voter turnout of all ages.
