"How am I a closet Democrat? I'm racist, I love guns and I hate welfare"

[RedSox02]

I just stumbled upon this gem of an article on Salon.com about the recent College Republicans convention in D.C. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2003/07/28/bush/index.html

The quote in the title is real, one of these kids actually said it and was dead serious. This is a real interesting look into the types of characters that attended this convention. To read it all you'll need to either be a Salon subscriber, or get one of their free day passes which you just have to view an add to get so it's pretty easy. Either way it's a great read. I also like a part where a young French Conservative invited to the convention wonders why everyone is praying out loud before meals and says "This puzzles me, religion is private".
