How about a law requiring that only those who pay taxes can vote? This should undercut the demo’s by millions….

“As Churchill remarked, if you aren’t a liberal when young, you have no heart. If you aren’t a conservative when old, you have no head.”

The big difference is that some of us outgrow it prior to reaching voting age…

The young have only lived in good times, they have no experience…..

I remember the 70s………..I learned my lesson.

The other fact of the matter is, most young people are idiots.

How very odd. That’s exactly what I was thinking when I read that passage in Ed’s post…

I still want to know what they define as the “political class”.

I guess I never had a heart.

It’ll be interesting to see how many democrats try to ride his “coattails” and how many start running from them.

What I’m hoping is that the same counter-factual view of the situation that has governed media coverage of Obama since he started running for the Senate, continues to hold sway over Democrats. Thus they will dutifully try to ride coattails that do not exist, essentially slitting their throats electorally rather than acknowledge the true state of affairs for their party and the nation.

American politics needs a good (figurative) bloodbath and I hope the Democrats volunteer

2010 elections will say a lot. It’ll be interesting to see how many democrats try to ride his “coattails” and how many start running from them.
