I think v****g for the President and Vice President, the age should be raised to 35. After all, it is the required age to hold such office....
Change my mind.
Change it? Why would any sane person want to do that. You're absolutely right. In my opinion, a v****g age of 26 sounds about right. That's enough time to mature and gain sufficient knowledge and experience to make sensible decisions in the political realm.
Better still, maybe there should be some type of 'political awareness' test applied to those who are wanting to v**e for the first time to determine whether they are knowledgeable and mature enough to make such decisions, regardless of age.

You know Larry, one thing that has been a constant so far is so many people willing to up the age even if just a little, and offer, such as tophat and others, a required test. Even those that consider themselves on the left. I find that to be very interesting. I thought I would have gotten more people suggesting that I was crazy, lol, and try to change my mind, but nobody has. Seems we could all find a common ground here. Thanks for your comments.

Well I do sort of have skin in the game as I do sort of own my house unless of course I miss a property tax bill but until then I do own my home. There was a time in our history that one could own their own home but not any more property taxes are the plague of every state in the union as far as I know.
You are absolutely right. Property taxes are the most evil taxes ever created ,and I'm sure they were created
by Bankers.

So what you're saying is, you didn't gain any more wisdom thru the years, since being 16.
You people want all the v**es you can, by hook crook or steal.
I******s, dead people, inexperienced and gullible 16 yr olds.
Sensibility and Morality aren't considered when the left is hunting for constituents.
The left is brainwashed into believing that if they can just unseat whitey from power by all means possible, that nothing but good can result from it.
Toppling the Republic by removing or allowing anything to accomplish the end result of, stripping sovereignty from the Union is the MO of the left.
Having indoctrinated children v**e for their own demise is akin to "Hitleresque" style of intimidation on our youth.

Wouldn't even try to change your mind since I agree wholeheartedly. But trying to get the brainwashed juveniles into the v****g area is no different that getting all the non citizens in to v**e as well. As long as there is money at Democrat disposal to provide all the things the 'hangers on' get for free, this will go on. Only solution I see short term is to close the border to immigration as well as any other way to 'sneak into the country and v**e all Democrats out of office.

Those kinds of rules were abandoned for good reason. 18 is an adult, though most do not v**e at that age. I went in the military at 17, but v****g age was 21 then. I think a country run by geriatric white males is a recipe for disaster.

Yep them too. Especially Nancy, Maxine and our darling Ms. Feinstein.

I think that you are right and in the beginning of our country if you didn't own property you couldn't v**e either as they used to say you had to have skin in the game before you could v**e to change things. Today we have to many on welfare v****g for more welfare and not working it should be the other way around if you don't work you shouldn't be allowed to v**e.
Bingo! It's obvious why the Dems want 16 year olds to v**e. Because at that age, kids practically still believe in Santa Clause and are all for the so-called freebies the dems promise. Free college and free medical care. It's a no-brainer that they're doing it for one reason: to swell their v**er rolls.
Life expectancy was short in the days of our founders, people grew up fast and took on adult responsibilities quite young. If memory serves me correctly, Lafayette, a Frenchman, inherited a fortune when only thirteen or fourteen years of age. Married at fifteen.
In fact, Lafayette came to America and assisted George Washington during the revolution. It's been a while since I read about Lafayette's young life, and association with George Washington and the revolution, so, I could be a bit incorrect about some of this stuff.
In any event, equating the maturity level of men like Lafayette and others, of those times, with the youth of today, isn't practical.

Without the v**e of the 'to young to know what is up' the democrats are doomed. As is the main qualification to be on the democrat ticket is a harden criminal with a warped mind willing to k**l anyone standing in their way. Turn v****g age to v**er IQ would end the party of low life t*****rs today.

The main thing a 16 year old has going for them was they survived puberty and are now mainly interested in chasing the opposite g****r. V****g intelligently or anything else!! ? Give me a break.
