Good point! But i don't think we really need to worry about 18 year olds actually voting.

I don't know about you but someone who doesn't respect the fundamentals of my (the royal my) country has no business setting agenda. She could be anal fisting men in threesomes and praying to her pagan Gods all she wants as far as I'm concerned.

With complete respect, where are you getting this? It could be because i listen to NPLIBERAL all day, but i'm not hearing anything besides she's being obnoxiously vague about every question, just like she's expected to be. The best thing to come out of this hearing is the whole where were you on the day of the Christmas Day Bombing thing. I don't really like her for being a hypocrite, but what do i expect? Why would anyone in such an important position be expected to tell the truth?

I would be in favor of getting rid of the draft and moving the voting age to 21.

I don't take offense to people with opposing views asking for defined foundations beneath my accusations/disapproval.

Her thesis. I have uploaded it and linked it here for you since she and her lawyers are rushing to have it stricken from the media as quickly as possible. I suggest you print it out if you plan on reading it, but it is full of socialist ideals (it is about socialism, after all). This, coupled with her political maneuverings, make me believe they are her true ideals. It could simply be she was writing to please her professors in University. Appealing to the socialist tendencies of liberal state universities is probably a great way to get an A. But I don't know... she could have chosen anything and chose to fight for socialism.

P.S. I didn't read the entirety of it. I printed it out at work and thumbed my way since Doc Holiday brought it up earlier in the month. I plan on finishing it this Sunday. I love politics these days because of the trying times we live in.

Can we repeal the 17th amendment?

Give CA, MN, and all of New England to the highest bidder of Canada and Mexico.

Considering those are the states (along with most of the other blue ones) are the ones that pay more to the federal government than they get back, with the difference going to shitholes in the South, good luck with that. The red states are dependent on our wealth and prosperity to keep their house intact.

The states with the most gun ownership pay the least tax. COINCIDENCE?

That's one way to spin it. Another would be to look at the least debt-ridden states, which are all traditionally red except for MN, and then most debt-ridden, which are all blue except Montana and Alaska.

Or maybe those are two sides of the same coin.
