Don't let the hate get you down, you guys are the future and I'm proud that America has young adults who are politically involved.

That is one of the things that I can appreciate about Obama -- he brings a new generation of voters into the political process.
Very well expressed and true Giminy.

But, in politics, you will be bombarded with illogical and irrational arguments regarding your positions. Age is only the beginning (unfortunately). You need a thick skin to deal with it all. Good luck!
Hahah. Yea. I don't want to run for public office myself...I want to run campaigns. The advisor/campaign manager who does all the work while helping their candidate to get the credit haha

I applaud younger kids who are genuinely interested in politics. Unfortunately, they gravitate towards the wrong candidate.

In 2002, I worked for J.D. Hayworth.
So---you were almost TWELVE (12) when you WORKED for J.D. Hayworth???

Check all the names...check the facts. Desert Vista High School is were I graduated from.

If you have a problem with my issues, fine.

But keep the personal attacks in this thread because it is out of line and shouldn't exist throughout this forum.
I think it's great you are politically active at such a young age. But I also think it interesting that you've gone from "working" for conservatives to working for THE MOST LIBERAL Senator we have----and all in just a period of six years. That's no attack---just find it interesting. I grew up in a Democrat family. My mother was about as much of a Democrat as I am a Republican today. So, that happens sometimes....even among families. I began to change my mind AFTER I left home and saw for myself that the Democrat mantra of "being for the little man" is just not true.

But keep up the good work. I love to see young people involved and up on the issues. EVEN if they are on the WRONG side.

volunteered/worked. You knew what I meant haha.

And yes, my family is an avid Focus on the Family supporter, so I am the oddball. However, through extensive education and removing myself form the religious strucutre that I was raised in, my opinions have shifted.

I plan to continue my involvement in politics until my last day. There is nothing I love more than a good political discussion.

Welcome to the world of adults, junior.

Get back to us in 20 years and we'll compare your [dopey] liberal ideals of today with your [hopefully] matured conservative ideals in a couple decades.

I don't know who said it but this is one of my favorite quotes:


"If you are not a Liberal when you are young. You have No heart".

"And if you are Not a conservative when you are older. You have No brain:.
