That young man is a whole lot more like Obama then either Regan or W.

No matter how I decide to take that comment, since it comes from you, I'm okay.

In all my time on this board Stephley, I don't think you've ever had anything right.

stephley 4 years 10 weeks

Nope, I had it right.

beavis667 4 years 10 weeks

I guess I was thinking of BHO. You have it backwards. Republicans have substance but lack style.

stephley 4 years 10 weeks

Yep, like Reagan and W.

ohhh snap.

So he's all style, no substance? I think that means he can be president!

Thia kid listens to talk radio and gets lots of conservative newsletters: THAT makes him expert enough to write a book sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience? He's got a shtick, not an education.

CS, what makes you think that I would change my mind if he were a democrat? jeez people, stop making assumptions.

Of his lifetime? That's hilarious. Good for him if he's taken upon himself to educate himself, but I still wonder what he will think when he gets older.

I already gave my opinion on this kid but I'd like to restate that it is a sad state of affairs when kids who aren't even in high school care more about politics than some of us grown up do. And I still think its hysterical that in another interview that he said Obama was the most left wing president of his lifetime, you know since he's seen so much in his lifetime :)

I love Will Ferrel and all, but can we stop making fun of Bush now? If you hate him that much, he is gone, you can let it go! We were talking about the girl scout thing at work a few days ago. It does seem really backward of the Girl Scouts to want to encourage entrepreneurship and then not allow them to be entrepreneurical.

I think this kid is great. Should we tie him up and force him to watch cartoons or play videogames? He is doing what he wants to do. Funny, he trips up over the word "conservative" but he sure seems to know what it means.

I didn't care about politics until I got in my 20s. I regret my ignorance. I voted for a Clinton. There's no getting over that. So if this kid is smart enough not to be swayed by whether or not his candidate wears boxer or briefs or if they play sax on Arsenio Hall, good for him.

From the Misleading Headline Hall of Fame! From the article: Under a single-payer system we would do away with the health insurance companies and one payer (the government) would cover everyone’s medical bills. Seems like an important tidbit no? Also, I heard something today about Obama wanting the military to pay for their own healthcare? Is that right? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Single payer healthcare? Why don't we just call it what it is? If it's a good idea, you don't have to trick people.

I knew at 12 that i was a conservative republican, and that if I was 18 I would have voted for Reagan!!

hausfrau 4 years 10 weeks

So sad for that kid. Kids have no place in politics. Its good that he is curious but he shouldnt be sold on a party at 14.

CaterpillarGirl 4 years 10 weeks

why poor kid? He seems happy, found a passion, maybe he likes politics instead of baseball or videogames, If it was some child going on about the democratic party and being thrilled with being able to talk about it on tv you wouldnt call them creepy. I love that his voice cracks. what a great kid.
