Just a stunning development in GOPland, really:

The GOP wants to get its groove back with young people.
It took a step toward that on Thursday by naming Elliott Echols as the party's first national youth director, seven months after releasing a report that showed people perceive the Grand Old Party as, well, old and disconnected from pop culture.

“Today's announcement is groundbreaking,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. “Bringing Elliot on board in an off-year will help us build relationships with young voters and mobilize students and young professionals to take our message to their peers.”
Basically, Echols's job will be to convince young voters that Republicans aren't anti-gay, anti-immigrant, or anti-21st century, and then, once he accomplishes that, his job will be to convince those same voters that it's just a coincidence that GOP policies are perfectly consistent with a party that is anti-gay, anti-immigrant, and anti-21st century. Then, and only then, will his achievement be groundbreaking, because he'll have achieved the impossible.

2. Elliot is planning to use the "Up With People" singers to get the message out to the young voters!

Elliot really has his finger on the pulse of today's youth!

3. OMG you didn't just say Up with People! I looked at this photo and thought of that exactly!

Jeebus and this little dweeb-bot is from Georgia, don'tcha know. My state.

4. Blahahahaha!!! I'm surprised he isn't wearing a pastel cardigan!!!

Cause, kids these days, they just love those pastel cardigans!

Bahahahahaha

Those Republicans just can't help themselves!

7. I live in Ga. too! Glad that there's at least ONE other liberal here! nt

8. Oh, there are many. But the idiots outnumber us here.

But I fully believe it's changing. Slowly.

10. He looks like a Mormon missionary!

12. Of course he's wearing Ralph Lauren polo

He's just your average young American male.

5. I suggest they all wear propeller beanies instead. Kids love those, don't they?

[marble falls]

6. An ironic hipster sort of racist, sexist, ageist, homophobe?

9. If a lot of young people voted in Republican primaries (closed states)

I don't think we'd see many Tea Party Candidates winning.

11. He'll need to convince young women that taking the pill makes them "sluts"...

and explain why mandatory vaginal ultrasounds and limiting their right to choose is good for them....

You've got your work cut out for you, Elliott.
