Meme Injection: Youth Vote

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

Today, our erstwhile Attorney General and Resident Psychopath announced all sorts of fun things regarding file sharing. Mostly raids and arrests. Who will feel the brunt of Our Resident Psychopath's wrath against The Scourge of File Sharing?

The young.

Spread the meme: If you vote for Bush, Ashcroft and people like him are part of the package, and they are coming for you, dirty filesharer. They will bust into your dorm room and take you and your computer off to The Gnutella Gulag. It all comes with voting for Dear Leader.

1. A Better Meme: Bush is sending young voters to die

...or Bush is handing young voters billions in debt.

In the next week, the 500th American soldier under 25 will be killed in Iraq.

File-sharing is illegal and it's not something to campaign on really. Incidentally, you'd be surprised how many of the federal prosecutors, especially in the tech areas, are liberal Dems hired under Clinton.

There's many many better reasons for young voters to choose Kerry.

2. It's all part...

Of a big picture. I happen to know that you bring up the war, dying and the draft, and it just bounces off far too many young people. I have seen it with my own eyes.

4. Environment, Deficit, Science, Foreign Relations, ...

...many better issues than encouraging illegal activity...

$500 billion dollar budget deficit. $200 billion dollar war. $534 billion dollar Medicare Drug Benefit. $7 trillion dollar national debt. That is this administration's gift to the youth of America.

Every dollar of the budget deficit is a dollar that will have to be paid back. Every gallon of gasoline we waste is a gallon we won't have tomorrow. Every tree that is cut will take a generation to grow back. Every species that dies out is gone forever. Every day that stem cell researchers wait is another day a patient waits for a cure.

Every country that's not with us is against us, and every country that's against us is a friend we won't have when the next attack comes. Every child that grows up seeing images of Americans torturing his people is a child that will grow up hating America.

The debt that is being passed on to my generation isn't just measured in dollar terms. It is the debt of dependence on oil wells that will one day run dry. It is the debt of polluted and water that cannot be cleaned. It is the debt of anti-American sentiment spreading throughout the world.

Most American voters won't have to pay the full cost of these mistakes, but the younger you are, the more of that debt will be yours.
