Kids For Kerry

Kerry_and_kids.jpg

Dennis Kucinich throws his support behind the Kerry Campaign.


Inspired by the todays "news" that "Children prefer Kerry". How this is supposed to change my mind and get me - an adult - to vote for Kerry, I have no idea, but the need for the media to report this annual asinine statistic never ceases to amaze me. I guess since kids dont own anything or have any responsibility and wet their pants thrice daily, it makes the perfect Kerry Voter Demographic. Are you a Dependent? Do you have a childlike grip on reality, sometimes confusing your jacket hanging in the closet with the boogie man? Do you admire the military accomplishments of Captain Crunch? If so, then John F. Kerry is your man!

This "kids vote" story is just like the annual pardoning of the Thanskgiving turkey. Just once, I'd love to watch the president say "Not this year Tom!" and hack the head off the turkey right on camera.

It may make you feel better to know that the "kids support Kerry" poll is worthless, as an open web poll. Actual polling among children shows Bush ahead by double digits. And since children tend to support the same canddiates as their parents, even if their parents aren't telling the pollsters, it is good news for Bush.

If it makes you feel any better, high school kids had a mock election and President Bush carried 41 states, 393 electoral votes (vs. 145 for Kerry), and 55% of the vote overall.
