The 2012 presidential debates are underway, and the race for the 45th president of the United States is in full swing. On university campuses around the country, students are gearing up for the elections, getting informed, and deciding which presidential candidate will best suit their needs.
Young people, (ages 18-29) account for 21 percent of the voting population entitled to vote, according to civicyouth.org. According to yda.org, in the 2008 elections, 62 percent of youth enrolled in college cast their votes, in contrast with the 36 percent of youth who voted, but did not attend college.

It's knee-jerk, simple-minded, flag-waving responses - easily manipulated. And yes, some of it is just racism.
Bush did more harm to Israel than any other president, yet many Jews - even those who vote Democratic all the time and will do so again - don't realize that.
Very frustrating.
