And cut off at 60?

I couldn't vote until I was 21, and I'm over 60, so it would shut me out. But is 18 way too young to have a handle on what you should know to be voting?
When the Constitution was being written there was a great deal of discussion as to who should vote (and women were never excluded, that was done later by the states). It was a very near thing that it did not happen that only property owners could vote. Isn't 18 too young> I mean, look at how bonky some of the answers on Yahoo Answers are.

I have a theory about Politicians:
A person with integrity, honesty, intelligence will run for office.
They get elected. After the election they are taken into the back room to take "The Oath of Office"
While they are in the back room they have their brains sucked out!

Seems that Rational thinking of a scientist or an atheist would be an admirable quality, especially with what we know about religion and it's dwindling likeliness.

Fact.....Jesus has no known writings...ever (although there are excerpts from the Bible where Jesus wrote as in John 8:6, yet he does not have his own journal or book in the Bible) His execution was not recorded by Pontius Pilate (whom kept detailed records of such things.) Furthermore, noone that wrote the Bible had ever actually met Jesus, most of the New Testament comes from the dreams and visions of Paul before Matthew or Mark wrote their Gospels. So with this in mind why is it that our elected officials must be Christian in order to become President?

Whatever happened to the first ammendment bill of rights guarantee of the seperation of the church and state?

Do we want a President that believes and follows what is said in Deuteronomy 13:6-10? Look it up.

If Hillary is elected and Bill becomes "First Gentleman" will Congress have to confirm the title?

In other words, will it take an Act of Congress to make Bill Clinton a "gentleman"?

Think about it. You have the choices of the nominated candidates, or you can do a write-in ballot which most folks use for "Joe the Barber" or "Mr. Smith down at the drugstore".

If we all went to the polls and wrote in "ham sandwich" on a write-in ballot, neither nominated candidate would be elected and Congress would be forced to pass legislation and budgets by veto override (because there would be no one to sign stuff), just to keep the government running.

Effectively, Congress would have to come to a 2/3 concensus in both houses and would probably draft some pretty acceptable legislation.

Thoughts?

Will the NeoCons led by Cheney fall back, creating a more centre right party. Or will the party get even more ultra, creating a problem for middle ground voters?

Well, I'm looking for someone whom's ideology is closest to my own.
For instance, I would like someone who is for abortion (including partial-birth), socialized medicine, legalization of drugs and immediate withdrawal from this terrible war in Iraq.
I'm really wary of anyone who professes faith in God sinse I'm an atheist.
I'm torn between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Which candidate do you think is a good choice for me?

FACT: The Republican Congress Passed A Presidential Line-Item Veto In 1996:

The Line-Item Veto Passed The House And Senate With Overwhelming Majorities And The Support Of Nearly Every Republican. The Senate passed the line-item veto 69-31, with 50 Republicans and 19 Democrats supporting it. Even liberal Democrats like Sen. Ted Kennedy And Sen. Russ Feingold voted for the line-item veto. In the House, the line-item veto passed 294-134, with 223 Republicans and 71 Democrats supporting it.

FACT: In June 1996, The Supreme Court Decided In Favor Of Mayor Giuliani -yes- the same, FRONT RUNNING Republican Candidate, And Struck Down The Line-Item Veto As Unconstitutional. "

show Hillary Clinton on the Dems and Guliani on the Reps as the leading candidates?? Is America coming to an end now?
Do we really have no real candidates out there? Are there any candidates who have the pants to oppose the Iraq war? *coff Ron Paul* and I want to point out I have not decided what candidate I'll vote for..... because choosing a candidate shouldn't be on ...."well he believes in god, or well she has nice hair, and is a Dem" because America needs to save itself, why do we have incompetent candidates???
Your opinion will be much appreciated.

I have been paying a lot of attention to the election and I don't understand why the end runners are the best in my eyes and the front runners are the worst.
