Bush Daughters got Boooed at the VMAs!

[diamondsnake]

Did anyone else see this? It was so uncomfortable and strange, the Bush girls came on stage and told everyone to vote for their father and then the Kerry girls were live from New York telling everyone to vote for their father and the Bush girls got booed and then stoped in the middle of their speach and glared at the audience and it looked so uncomfortable! I was cringing!
Then the host came on and said "moving along!"

My question is, why did anyone think that this would go over very well? It really went over like a lead balloon and you couldn't help but be embarrassed for these girls.

I think it was vice versa, I think it was the kerry girls that got booed, But I may be wrong..

I wish they had booed Usher instead... That opening bit with the rain cascading down his 6-pack looked like bad gay porn.

Okay... now I have gone into complete confusion!

The girls that were actually at the awards were Kerry's daughters? It is too confusing that they both have two daughters about the same ages.

Yes the girls *at* the VMA's were Kerry's daughters...Bush's daughters were in New York. I think its cool to tell young people (or everybody for that matter) to get out there and vote but I think it was taken just a little too far this year.

I saw it and the Bush drunks were booed much more than the Kerry kids. And the Kerry kids came across as more down-to-earth, actually.

I think the message of getting out the vote is important, but I don't think anyone should get on the podium and tell people who to vote for. But, the President Select does it, so...

What do you think their father's thought of all this? And, I'm suprised the Kerry girls got booed so much because I thought the younger generation likes Kerry over Bush.

The younger generation does, they can't stand Bush. Kerry has a double-digit lead in youth polling. A lot of it has to do with Iraq and gay marriage.

Going blind? forget to take your metamucil this morning? maybe both... It was VERY CLEAR the Kerrys were booed more...no surprise given that floor probably consisted 97% of Cubans, LOL

I think it depends on what part of the USA u are talking to...I feel vastly outnumbered at my college as a Kerry supporter. I walk through the parking lots and see all the cars with BUSH/CHENEY 2004 W2004, all kinds of bumper stickers...and even in my political science class...it's a Georgia thing I guess.. Georgia has become very conservative, even more so than in 2000...I think in the whole South I would say the youth, on a majority level support Bush...Now the PROBLEM is most and many of them only do so because their parents always did, or they have no reason at all..

But it is interesting to note that it has been since 1988 when Bush was going against Dukakis that the 18-29 yr old vote went majorly to a republican..
In 1992 43% of 18-29 yr olds voted Clinton, compared to the 34 % for Bush and 22% for Perot....and it was even larger in 1996 when Clinton got 53% of the 18-29 vote, and Gore received 48% of this vote compared to Bush's 46% and 5% for Nader.
This election is very different in my opinion, MANY young 18-20 somethings are much more energized during this election, mainly because they saw the whole disaster unfold on tv in 2000 and many had no voice in that election, and then 9/11 came, it was the first major tragedy for my generation that we actually experienced...so we will see..don't underestimate us or "misunderestimate" as Bush says...Things will be diff this year
