So this reminds me of when I was a kid. When the neighbors always lost they made rules on the fly just to give themselves a chance. Problem was unless they prohibited just being good at playing the game they always lost.
So one GOP lawmaker stated that college students are emotional and are unable to vote responsibly.
In a recent speech to a tea party group in the state, House Speaker William O'Brien described college voters as "foolish." "Voting as a liberal. That's what kids do," he said, in remarks that were videotaped by a state Democratic Party staffer and posted on YouTube. Students, he said, lack "life experience" and "just vote their feelings."
Some GOP lawmakers in New Hampshire have billed the measures as an attempt to crack down on voter fraud in the state--but recent remarks from the newly elected GOP state House speaker have suggested otherwise.
Hello!?! this is the majority of voters in general. Who isn't influenced by their emotion toward one subject or another. What I find interesting about this is that there are so many arguments about the government putting the country in debt that are kids will have to pay back. We won't be around but "We must save our kids from this horrendous debt". But now it looks like the GOP is afraid the kids are not voting responsibly. I am sure they would not care if they felt the majority of students were voting in their favor. But I guess not. And since they are not... They are voting irresponsibly. Hahaha! How funny is this? So the way I see it if students are that much of an influence on the vote and they are on the side of those making decisions that increase the deficit then let 'em pay it back. I figure that argument of "save are kids from the deficit) is bogus anyway. But if it isn't they are obviously not worried about it... so why are you? You won't even be around.
But back to the right for students to vote. Really? I guess it's win at all cost even if it means infringing on our kids rights
Actually we shouldn't run up the debt but that didn't start with this adminstration. No reason to keep it going. Thing is someone gets heart no matter which way you go or we all still get hurt just in different ways. So I guess we fight over whether we want to be taken down at the knees or punched in the gut.
