Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

As of 11 a.m., about 749 of the 5,613 voters registered to vote in Lynchburg's largest precinct had cast their ballots. Many of them were Liberty University students.

One of the students who was at the precinct early, Mark Etheridge, said he voted because "we were told by our chancellor about the effect government has on students," particularly the food tax charged in restaurants.
Just past 11 a.m., members of LU's College Republicans pulled up in a pickup truck. In the bed sat an elephant made of chicken wire and duct tape plastered with Republican bumper stickers.

Oh, the humanity of it all.

Maybe these young people don't like the fact that the health care bill calls for raping them so that older people can have more affordable health care. Maybe, I don't know.

YEAH!

Except the election is for Governor, not the evil "HealthCare"! Sheesh!

Anyway, your stupidity aside, how would you feel about an out of towner that admits to only "being here a year" influencing your local governance --- for four years.

Oh, never mind, I forgot you people can't do anything honestly.

It would be interesting to hear how other bible belt towns would react to a "university" (and I use that term loosely in this case) freeping their election in favor of a secular candidate.

My guess is that it would cause several cases of spontaneous kitten miracle births!

And just for the record, McConnell is a Regent University graduate and devoted Apprentice to Pat Robertson, who coincidently downplayed this relationship (ran away from it) and campaigned as a moderate (not that he will govern that way im sure).

is there a point here?

"is there a point here?"

Yes.

If a liberal school was disowning republican students and encouraging its liberal students to freep a local election, the outcry from the wingdings would be deafening.
Let's not forget that Liberty is a tax exempt organization that has no business (or right) to interfere with the local taxpayers right to elect who they so choose.

Does having a tax exemption mean that school officials cannot have personal opinions, and share them with students?

I think all public schools have liberal teachers who express their opinions all the time. I remember it from college myself. There are occasional outbursts from conservative groups, but not so much.

Sounds like a tempest in a teapot.

"I think all public schools have liberal teachers who express their opinions all the time"

Yes, so you "think".

But here is what we KNOW, also known as Validated FACT!


"As many as 3,200 Liberty University students were eligible to vote Tuesday. To encourage a high turnout, LU cancelled classes and ran buses between the campus and the voting precinct every few minutes."

So please direct us to an article where these "liberal" teachers at a "liberal" college are alienating students, intimidating them and directing them how to vote!

"The precinct reached its peak crowd just past noon. House of Delegates candidates Shannon Valentine and Scott Garrett shook hands with voters, while Falwell, who voted that morning in Bedford County, greeted students.
"I need to get me a dorm room on campus so I can vote in the city," Falwell said jokingly, and then struck a serious note on why he encouraged students to vote."
