Agreed. Nothing else to discuss.

I am actually for lowering the age to 16.

Tell that to the parents of 18yr olds who where recruited, trained, and deployed to Iraq.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous your post is, or are you upset
Obamas in office and looking to blame it on young Americans.

It seems some voters appear to be cheerleaders who dont have the insight to know what may be the best decision and are too easily misguided.

If they are old enough to fight and die for their country, then they are old enough and responsible enough to vote, and to drink. Thats my opinion.

I think there are 50 year olds that aren't mature or wise enough to vote.

I spent three years in the Army and was never old enough to vote...it was a long time ago. But to be honest we didn't keep up with politics..

"I think there are 50 year olds that aren't mature or wise enough to vote."

Don't leave out some of the 30 and 40 year olds.

I see a lot of 30+ years olds in this forum who aren't mature or wise enough to be voting and probably never will be.

Why am I not surprised KevK. The more clueless immature voters there are, the better for your agenda.
