i was asked why young people aren't joining the republican party?

hows my answer and whats yours. my answer is. republicans are asking young people to pay massive debt to give tax breaks for the rich companies and people. and asked to give up on education, even elementary for there kids. asked to give up on retirement for all future generations. to ignore science of global warming. let the government tear beautiful places down for the sake of oil instead of alternative fuel sources. drill baby drill. while the generation that is asking this now is calling them takers even though these same people refuse to give up anything and say this is just for the future. so my answer to why people in general are saying no to republicans. is because they are sacrificing everything in the future without an even proven theory or economists saying it will pay debt. there saying to just trust them. with no proof. or expert. current republicans are nuts in a nut shell. whats your answer?

    I think they're losing the young vote due to intolerance.

    Comments like "legitimate rape", "rape is god's will". Rush Limbaugh Calling Sandra Fluke an offensive word on national radio, that's gonna turn away young women voters.

    Young people are more tolerant to minorities, gays and they see the GOP as regressive, they see the base all their hate in an ancient religion full of ancient mythology, when what they wants is science.

    Young people want to move forward with science, not go back to the past, they want to go to college, not being home schooled.

    The republican party has nothing to offer them

    Right and every one of your points are incorrect. The "massive debt" is being run up by those that call themselves democrats.

    We spend more on education than any other Country, all to see it line the pockets of teachers that fail to do the job.

    The "science" of global warming is wrong. Climate change has been a fact on this planet for thousands of years. The theory of "global warming" was based on a faulty climate model. And then the "scientists" lied.

    Do you have a replacement for oil, a substance that can take the place of oil in the amounts needed to operate the economy?

    So far the democrats have offered nothing for the future except a load of debt and they have nothing to support any of the faulty economic theories that they place so much faith in.

    Far as I can see the only nuts are people like you.

    I love guns and hate abortions but I don't vote republican. The Republican party is the party of generation outsource aka baby boomers. There is a huge generation gap right now. Generation X and Y stick together while generation outsource don't even get along with each other.

    It's more beneficial to our country to feed our homeless than to bomb brown people in third world countries.
