An article on how the Republicans are trying to re-capture the youth vote appeared on Yahoo! today.  The one of the centerpieces of this effort is the Maverick PAC founded by George P Bush.  That's Bush as in George H.W. "Read my lip" Bush.  That's Bush as in George W. Bush, who gave us eight years of wars and deficits.

In other words, Republicans will put on a PR campaign that is long on style, and short on substance.  But even John Boehner admits that it's hard to get enthusiastic about Mitt Romney.

I’ll tell you this: 95 percent of the people that show up to vote in November are going to show up in that voting booth, and they are going to vote for or against Barack Obama.  
“Mitt Romney has some friends, relatives and fellow Mormons ... some people that are going to vote for him. But that’s not what this election is about. This election is going to be a referendum on the president’s failed economic policies.
That's hardly a ringing endorsement.  But if Republicans want to get young people on board, the answer is in their own back yard.

Ron Paul has been filling stadiums and arenas on college campuses for the last six months.  He speaks of real change.  He speaks of freedom.  Republicans want you to forget when happened when they ran the show.  Now they tell us that if we elect more Republicans, the nations problems will be solved.

Well, I'm not buying it.  If Republicans want to attract more young people to the party, a good start would be to kick Mitt Romney to the curb and make Ron Paul the party's nominee for President.
