And then change again when they graduate, get jobs, and start paying 
taxes...which is about the time they realize that all those social 
programs cost alot of money.

The Big Problem with BOTH camps is that neither side really represents 
their own "ideals", much less the people behind them.  I considered 
myself a conservative for a long time, but quite honestly, Ashcroft has 
pretty much run me out of that camp. I'm also quite liberal on many 
topics, such as a woman's right to choose, but everytime I think a may 
vote Democrat, they seem to present a new way to take away my income and 
hand it to someone who can't be bothered to go out and get a job.

I refuse to choose the "lesser of two evils", and will probably vote for 
Badnarik.
