.......... Chris Galloway is president of the Young Democrats of America.


Jason Mattera is the spokesman for the Young America‘s Foundation, which is a conservative group.

(GOP'er)



Let me ask you about—both you gentlemen, but starting with you, Jason. What are you guys—what do people your age think about the war in Iraq right now, as it is going, as we‘re fighting this to try to get the Iraqis to take over the fighting? What‘s the view of your group?

MATTERA: I think my group is supporting President Bush on this matter. We‘re looking to defeat the terrorists.

MATTHEWS: Where? In Iraq.

MATTERA: In Iraq. Of course in Iraq.

And there—you won‘t see on college campuses, as you did in the 1960s, these rampant protests, these obstruction of classroom, these—the book burning, everything that went down. I think kids are more conservative today. And I think groups such as the Young America‘s Foundation help that—help mold that conservatism.

MATTHEWS: Would you like to enlist them? You‘re 21. You‘re eligible to serve. Would you like to serve in this war?

MATTERA: I‘m fighting the battle for ideas. I‘m fighting...

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: No, I‘m just asking a particular question. Would you like to enlist in this war?

MATTERA: No, because I‘m fighting a separate battle. I‘m fighting—we‘re fighting the culture war here, but I‘m also supporting the battle that‘s raging in Iraq.

MATTHEWS: Well, what kind of people should fight in this war, if not you?

MATTERA: Those who want to, those who want—who feel the desire, who have the passion to go over to Iraq. I have many friends who are in Iraq myself, people from my church, people who I graduated with.

MATTHEWS: Yes.

MATTERA: They went to go fight over there. I‘m here. I‘m fighting

the culture war right now. Both need to be fought and both need to be won

by conservatives.

MATTHEWS: Paul Hackett, a Democratic candidate for Congress who just lost that close election in Ohio, referred to the president as a chicken hawk, somebody who supports war, but doesn‘t fight it. What do you think of that phrase, chicken hawk?

MATTERA: I don‘t like the phrase chicken hawk.



Democratic speaker:Chris Galloway


MATTHEWS: You‘re laughing, Chris Galloway.

Let me ask you, Chris, do you—Democrats, by the way—what is the position of your crowd, your young crowd, Democrats, on this war in Iraq?

GALLOWAY: Well, we don‘t like the war.

MATTHEWS: Oh, you don‘t?

GALLOWAY: We think most Americans don‘t like the war.

MATTHEWS: You don‘t?

GALLOWAY: And we know that most young people don‘t support the war and don‘t like the war.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: You know, I‘m waiting to hear your party speak clearly on this subject.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: You mean, as a group, the Democratic young people of this country are against this war? I have yet to hear that said officially, sir.

GALLOWAY: Absolutely.

The Young Democrats of America are not supportive of this war. The young people that I talk to are not supportive of this war. The young people I talk to are scared to death that they‘re going to be sent to fight in this war.

Our Democratic speaker.just came right out and said we don't approve of this war.

Big difference in this 2 young mens stand!
