The poor economy has created high unemployment for young Americans. A recent poll shows that these unemployed youths will turn into angry voters. One can assume angry voters generally vote for the challenger, not the incumbent. However, the poll didn't specify for which presidential candidate these angry, young voters will vote in November 2012. Generation Opportunity, a non-partisan youth advocacy group, conducted the poll.
Some interesting stats: The youth unemployment rate for 18-29-year-old African-Americans is 22.3 percent (NSA), the youth unemployment rate for 18-29-year-old Hispanics is 14 percent (NSA) and the youth unemployment rate for 18-29-year-old women is 12.6 percent (NSA).
Which presidential candidate will win the youth vote in 2012: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney? Does the youth want to give Obama four more years to fix the economy? Or are they more likely to vote in someone else, like Mitt Romney?
WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM reports:
The most recent unemployment numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor tell the story of suffering for millions of Americans, as the unemployment rate inched up to 8.3 percent for the month of July. This is now the 42nd consecutive month with unemployment above 8 percent.

WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM reports:
Younger voters, angry with the lack of jobs and a stalled economy that's cut their entertainment budget and forced many to live with mom and dad, are expected to flock to the polls in even greater numbers than 2008 when President Obama's inspirational message of hope and change drew millions to the polls.

However, with all the sniping and petty attacks going on by both sides, I'd expect a lot of 'protest votes' too - votes for third parties in an effort to send a message to the two main parties that they are dissatisfied with both choices.
If people would wake up and realize that the real power is with the Federal Reserve, and Congress taxing companies out of this country, a revolution would soon follow. Ron Paul has created a movement in this nation with his strong liberty and freedom message. It is not likely to die out anytime soon.
The youth will not vote for Obomney. There will be a huge split instead among Ron Paul, Gary Johnson and Virgil Goode. However the results will be rigged as they always are in Presidential elections.
Here's the only two that I will vote for . I chose Mittens to give the Repubs hope lol!
All four are registered and will be voting November 6 and I feel responsible for making sure they were registered and bringing four more votes to the table!!
Rather vote for Ron Paul or..

'I vote where I think it will do the most good, not along any party lines'
Great!
Thank you? lol :)
I'm voting for President Obama. I obviously believe there are plenty of reasons to vote for him since i am doing so...but...rIght or wrong, based on the reasons MOST people actually vote do you really think young people are going to vote for the Monopoly guy or that really cool guy who gave the order to kill that bogeyman they grew up hating.
Now, Please Don't any one get me wrong, I am just as glad as the other that he is gone.. But when the word "killed; is used No one really gives it a scond notice.
Look at all the other countries that the government control's and ask your self is this what you want.
BEFORE YOU PICK SOMEONE THE VOTERS NEED TO SEE WHAT OBAMA HAS PLANNED FOR THE U.S. IF RE-ELECTED WATCH "2016" AND THERES ONE OTHER ONE.
is EXTREMELY EXTREME:
• The re-creation of a 21st-century version of FDR's Works Progress Administration program within the Department of Labor that would oversee a massive new bureaucracy and millions of new federal jobs;
• An additional government-funded jobs program that provides "good jobs" capable of supporting a family with a "decent standard of living."
• A new government mandate to force businesses to provide twelve weeks of paid benefits to employees who need time off to care for a new child, a sick family member, or their own illness. Plus, a higher, required minimum wage that would raise the floor for all employees.
• An expansive, de facto amnesty program for illegal aliens via both executive order and inter-agency directives linked with a reduction in the capabilities of the U.S. Border Patrol.
• Plans to bring in untold numbers of new immigrants with the removal of caps on H-1B visas and green cards. Immigration control to be placed in a NEW Executive Branch agency and taken away from CONGRESSIONAL CONTROL.
• Government-funded, neighborhood-based programs to better integrate the newly amnestied immigrants into society, including education centers and health care centers. A "federal soluti...

• Government-funded, neighborhood-based programs to better integrate the newly amnestied immigrants into society, including education centers and health care centers. A "federal solution" to ensure that the amnestied immigrants are treated "equitably" across the United States.
"The (Mr. Obama's) amnesty plan would make it illegal to apprehend "undocumented" persons in the "premises or in the immediate vicinity of a childcare provider; a school; a legal-service provider; a federal court or state court proceeding; an administrative proceeding; a funeral home; a cemetery; a college, university, or community services agency; a social service agency; a hospital or emergency care center; a health care clinic; a place of worship; a day care center; a head start center; a school bus stop; a recreation center; a mental health facility; and a community center.""
• A National Infrastructure Bank that would evaluate and finance infrastructure projects of substantial regional and national importance" and would finance "transportation infrastructure, housing, energy, telecommunications, drinking water, waste-water, and other infrastructures."
• The wresting of control of the military budget from Congress by placing an "independent panel" in charge of military spending while slashing the defense budget.
• Spreading the vastly reduced resources of the U.S. Armed Forces even thinner by using them to combat "global warming," fight global poverty, remedy "injustice," bolster the United Nations and step up use of "peacekeeping" deployments.
• A new "green" stimulus program and the founding of a federal "green" bank or "Energy Independence Trust," which would borrow from the federal treasury to provide low-cost financing to private-sector investments in "clean energy.
• A "green Manufacturing" revolving loan fund to create 680,000 manufacturing jobs and 1,972,000 additional jobs over five years.
• Detailed plans to enact single-payer health care legislation controlled by the federal government.
Total cost for the above Obama 2nd term initiatives are estimated @ $ 2,000,000,000,000 (and climbing). Of course, the cost is going to be on the backs of the American taxpayers for re-distribution into these programs.
So, WHO IS EXTREME ????
Vote for Mr. Obama and you will be voting for the complete and total destruction of America.
Romney-Ryan 2012 to take back America from the radicals.
