ROFL.

Throw in 'go to college, and get an education' and you'll have the perfect liberal.

Yes the right elevated the same kid to celebrity status when he was 13.

LMFAO

Except that Churchill did not say that.

Here's my hypothesis.

The kid grew up conservative, he's thinking about college, and now a liberal, when he gets older and wants the bucks and the hummer and house in the burbs, he reverts to the conservative view. Seems like a lot of hippy boomers did that. Rich, conservative white prep. schoo. kids rebelling against the folks, protesting the Vietnam War and surfing the trust fund as left wing hippies, but soon they turned into righteous Reaganite yuppie conservatives just like mum and dad. This dude will likely do that.

Still, if they trotted out a 13 year old to spew GOP slogans, man, that's just super cheesy.

Funny how most of the C-D political forums consider that 13 year old the wisest person in the world, teabaggers generally have the mentality and maturity of 8 year olds so I can see why they looked up to him Good for that kid that he's not mentally stuck a child like so many of the mouthbreathers on the right.

Never heard of this so-called poster boy of the right.

Nor has 99.998% of America.

I wonder if this kid realizes he is a homosexual yet?

Wait, wait, you're admitting that you don't think because you have to go to work?

We do seem to be a little more educated, don't we?

You're saying that all college educated people are liberal?
Is education a problem for you?

Where do people come up with this drivel?
