If your old enough to bleed for this country, then your old enough to have a beer and vote on it.

imo



anyone but hillary 2016


picked Rand Paul for this poll, but I'm sitting this election out. (unless he gets the nomination, then I'd play the lesser of two evils card.)

...which is why I would allow an exemption for military personnel . I understand that 25 is unrealistic so I would settle for 21 with the same voting and drinking exemptions for members of the military .

not good enough
you're disrespecting every serviceman whos ever put himself in harms way or god forbid died for his country like a true patriot when you suggest that the cowardly civilian population that risks nothing should get even a semblance of the same rights
I'd say for starters, military personnel returning home should have guaranteed employment upon applications rather than preferential affirmative action, then all drug laws should no longer apply to them, and any debts or child support owed by them declared null
At the same time, voting should be restricted from the civilian population at all. They have no right to decide the future of our country if they put no stake in it. Alcohol too while we're at it. And bearing a child should only be allowed for veteran women or those willing to become licensed at great expense, Heinlein had the right of it. I think phasing in, albeit slowly and graded over several years, the right of prima nocta for military personnel, at least active ones on leave in a civilian area, would be a good start.

Best response ever.

I can get behind that as long as we have the same restrictions for the elderly. Maybe 65 or so.

Rand Paul

yea that was one hell of a story here. Was in the news for so long. Still a singluar event that doesnt even come close to what goes on on your side of the border every day

You think someone is old enough to serve in the military and die for this country but not vote?

Shoot. I can expound on all of them.

...yes . They can't run for President , the Senate or the House either until certain age requirements are met . Surely you recognize the " die for this country " as nothing more than an appeal to emotion especially when we already have Constitutional restrictions on other rights and privileges .
