Remember that definitive scene from ‘Cool Hand Luke’? Luke (Paul Newman), mocks his prison warden (Strother Martin), who knocks Luke sprawling into the dirt.
Thursday, Rush Limbaugh discussed a recent poll of youth voters, who described themselves as extremely critical of big government, and all that entails…but…
…plan to vote Democrat anyway.
A large youth majority articulated concerns identical to Republican concerns:
- that government is inefficient, wasteful (66%);
- that private Social Security accounts are preferred (73%);
- that government regulators favor special interests (63%);
- that government agencies abuse their power (58%);
- that cutting gov’t spending would help the economy (64%);
- that cutting taxes would help the economy (59%).
And, yes…despite the fact they know big government doesn’t work, and they are ideologically opposed to what Democrats stand for, 53% of millennials indicate they plan to vote Democrat in the November elections…and Rush says he knows why.
But Republicans don’t communicate that stand…so youth voters smack ’em down…
…just like the Captain did to Cool Hand Luke.
