beginning of the end for King Boy George?

This was just posted in another forum by a 16 year-old Bush supporter.

"I saw a snippet of the President's speech (a part where he spoke of the world wanting to be free, or something to that nature). I'm not a Bush fan anymore. I was before the elections, before everything became clearer to me. I don't really know what to think. I'm scared to think of what's in store for us Americans, to tell you the truth. That is it."

I think it's a telling statement.

3. Welcome to DU. No offense, but

I don't listen to 16 year olds talking politics. I don't believe children should be indoctrinated into politics, from either side. I didn't do it with my daughter. She coulda been a freeper but she would have come to it herself.

Too bad he could be drafted before he even gets to vote.

It's not "tide turning;" it's buyer's remorse.

7. I was once a 16 year old

Bush supporter until I realized the GOP was not for me. I was way to moderate, then eventually liberal for the party. i think its ok to change your beliefs when your young, after all how can you know the right path at a young age, it takes exploration of ideas.

8. its not the fact that he is 16

and i am very sure that a 16 year old can comprehend politics. but it shows the general tide is turning, if even this kid can become enlightened, and see through the lies.

12. Do you think it is possible that 16 year olds can think for themselves?

I do. I live with a 15 year old who does that. he has been doing that since he was 8. I also live with 10 year old who is beginning to do the same. When parents allow their kids to focus on real life instead of the lastest crappy tv show or bad outfit that costs $200, they find the kids can think. Sure, they don't have the wisdom that comes with experience, but they do have the ability to see and understand more than we "adults" might think. Please support kids who want to know.

5. it's a dam telling statement

i think many people are coming to this realization.
the approval poll was 44% on inaguration day, already showing a downward spiral.

6. The best thing about 16-year-olds

Is that the eventually turn into 17-year-olds. Don't be too hard on someone that young, who probably wasn't thinking too much about getting drafted in a couple of years.

Fortunately, at 16, he couldn't vote for Stupidhead. Here's hoping he'll vote for a better candidate in 2008.

9. Send the little bugger to Iraq

10. We should be WELCOMING the FUTURE VOTERS who have come to realize

REALITY.

Instead we have DUers criticizing them. Too much "How to Alienate Everyone" bush lessons.

To the 16-year old American Future who has seen the reality thru the rightwingnut fog; CONGRATS TO YOU for being intelligent enough to SEEK THE REALITY and for being brave enough to speak out.

13. GO LYNN--THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO!!

[hwmnbn]

15. yup, I agree

I told one other kid he had escaped the "Matrix".

The point being this may be just the beginning of a quick and steep drop for the Boy King. It's hard to spin buyer's remorse.

16. Amen brother

Can't keep kids blind to the world. I have a seventeen year old girl and she can look at the facts and come to a conclusion.She's a hell of alot better informed than most people I know.And she cares enough to help out the Kerry campaign and to weep when he lost.I wish alot of adults took their right to vote so seriously! So if your 16 or sixty just try to make a diiference!!!!!!!!:bounce:

[HeeBGBz]

17. Rock on Lynn

How can we become a huge majority if we alienate those who break through the fog and try to move left?

[Kolesar]

18. Shout it out!

I'm with you.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

19. If this 16 year old has even an inkling of a chance of being drafted into

shrub's nightmare armageddon scenario.... then he should talk all the politics he wants, pay attention to what his future may bring or not bring because of some fundamentalist rightwingnut who happens to be infesting the WH right now.

[Ladyhawk]

20. Yes...honestly, he's only a KID for chrissakes!

I'm glad he's thinking.

[theresistance]

11. It's remarkable how people come to this realisation

that person is not the first and will not be the last.

21. don't blame the ones waking up

rembember they have been subjected to purposeful and sustained brainwashing. They have been made so afraid of war or attacks on our lands that they have been made willing to allow shrub to do anything he needs to stop it. Also, the know the greatness of America. It is very very hard to come to the realization that America in not the same America they knew. It is hard to swallow that America is purposely hurting the world. That America, great America is wrong. It's very hard to swallow that.
