Katie Couric finds out, New faces of the GOP just as confused on reality as the old faces

The new face of the GOP
http://news.yahoo.com/katie-couric-interviews-saira-blair-about-millennials-and-republicans-034111865.html

In West Virginia, Saira Blair won a seat in House of Delegates, becoming the nation’s youngest elected state legislator.

Blair and her father, state Sen. Craig Blair, sat down with Yahoo Global News anchor Katie Couric to discuss her inspiration to run, her historic win, and hope for her generation in the political process. “My generation is going to have $17 trillion of debt on our hands. And we deserve at least one vote in the House of Delegates. Because we shouldn't have to wait until we're 30, 40, 50 or 60 to understand the importance of conservative principles,” Blair said.

No offense but shouldn't the interview stop there and explain that 30+ years of conservative principles created that 17 trillion dollar debt. Not social security, not medicare, not food stamps... it is stupid people like you, the new but just as detached from reality, face of the future GOP are the problem. Why, because your cure for every problem is the same stupid non-functioning solutions and you refuse to learn from reality. I'm sick of pretending I'm the problem when you haven't tried liberal ideas and solutions in decades!
