Yer thinkin’ 10 year old voting is a good thing?
I’m almost 36 and was trying to convince 50 year old people not to vote for him. They were never going to listen to me. At least I tried.
She’s so sweet
Where ever she is she is laughing, thinking and talking about me.
I do believe it does cover the majority given the political climate created by the libs in the last few years
Oops, I thought you were commenting on the title of the column, as your post was to #1
Now I see what your comment meant.
No, there are enough 10 yr age mentality voting already!
Pretty much.
It gets irritating.
Wild in the Streets...
And here is the clincher! It was in Esquire! I still remember the art work illustrating the article. It was a clay statue done in very loose fashion of a teen girl swiinging to music.

The Sixties weren’t ALL peace and love, baby
25 September 2002 | by Rod Morgan (DC) – See all my reviews
Which came first, Robert Thom’s Esquire novella or his screenplay? Doesn’t matter - the premise of “the youth vote” (as if it were monolithic, a consistent mistake during the Sixties) working to overthrow the establishment and creating a fully functional dystopia was a winner from the first word. Immaculately filmed despite the shoestring budget and remarkably well-acted by an amazing cast, the New York Times referred to it as the only film that year to “get it” in terms of the impact of youth culture. Academy award nomination for editing, largely from clipping what appears to be Monterey Pop footage and overlaying our presidential candidate, Max Frost. A delight then, a delight now. Nothing can change the shape of things to come.
I personally know a very similar old-timer’s story.
Not much difference between FDR and Stalin but a little more tact and a little more compliant people.
I think we should allow people including kids to arrive at their own conclusions. Saying we should go with Ann's plan would obviously skew things Republicans way and would never be allowed first of all. Second she should know better. People of much younger age use to be considered adults because so much more was asked of them. It's not an age issue.
The problem is that is that in the military there is accountability, responsibility, make it your own way kind of attitude. With the “educated” it's about I'm smarter than everyone else people should act like me because I'm enlightened. But they aren't taught what it's like in the real world. Is it really a shock that many of the educated elite are so caught up in their careers that they never decide to have children(birth control, abort them out of existence)?
Our country was built on freedom and that includes freedom to be liberal. Let's not move backwards but continue to focus our attention on the universities that promote fantasy over reality.
We’re almost the same age. I forgot to get an absentee ballot so I ditched college for the day, asked a friend to come along for the ride, drove 200 miles to home, voted for Reagan, drove 200 miles back to school and ended up marrying the friend who rode with me.
Great deal all around.
My kids are all solid conservatives. One is going to school in your neck of the woods.

There are always exceptions, what percentage do you think have done all that you say you had done by age twenty one? I’m not very smart but I will wager a hundred dollars against a dozen doughnuts that it is a tiny fraction of one percent.
The average twenty five year old these days is about as mature as a fifteen year old used to be sixty years ago and I am probably giving too much credit at that.
Ann is so much funnier than Jon Stewart and the other leftie comedians.
My 18 year old at Colorado Christian Univ voted the right way. As did most of his campus... What a wonderful place.
“As we have learned from ObamaCare, young people are not considered adults until age 26, at which point they are finally forced to get off their parents’ health care plans. The old motto was “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote.” The new motto is: “Not old enough to buy your own health insurance, not old enough to vote.”
Ann,
I have been saying this for months, so you owe me a hug for stealing my thoughts.
GRATE minds love cheeze!
No one is a bigger fan of Ann than myself, but this article is a waste. Especially considering all the things going on right now.
And I wish people would stop saying that “kids” are “on their parent’s insurance” as if the parents weren’t PAYING FOR THEM TO BE ON THEIR INSURANCE. It AIN’T free.
And therefore have money to send to Obama etc.
And can put off getting a job until they are past 25 yrs. old.
Unfortunately, many parents don't teach their children a good work ethic.
All of my kids started working at a young age, and are now all successfully employed or have their own businesses.
Really, the whole column is a waste?
I differ with you there.
“Our country was built on freedom and that includes freedom to be liberal.”
You missed the entire point of her article. The point is not about voting age, instead it is about the use of “26 year olds” as children that need their parents to carry their health care coverage. If a 26 year old is a “child” in the health care bill, then that “child” should not be treated as an adult and given the privelege of voting.
In other words, these “children” have celebrated the government confiscation of their physical being so they should no longer be awarded freedoms. They have given away their claiim to be free.
They can’t have it both ways.
