The truth is that no matter how articulate a young person is at this age, they're still really speaking from the received opinion of role models - parents, teachers, etc. - rather than from their own investigation and understanding. And that makes it cynical almost by default.<BR/><BR/>One of the things I liked about Obama's campaign is that he largely kept the two girls out of the limelight except for the one or two "big" occasions when their presence was unavoidable. A very sharp contrast to the GOP and Caribou Barbie toting her youngest around under her arm everywhere like a sack of laundry.ethttp://rr-for-president.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538186867576403896.post-85094485272017195872009-04-06T03:12:00.000-05:002009-04-06T03:12:00.000-05:00Can I be honest here ET.

I know I know why now? with everything else I have wrote. The kid is only 14. I actually feel for him. It says something for him that he cares at his age but still I feel for him and can't help but feel he;s being used.<BR/><BR/>I can live with out 14 year olds at these conventions just like I cringed at Little orphan Annie ( sorry I can't remember her real name) speaking at the democratic convention. (I can't remember which year.) Books like I see Liberals under my bed and Why Mommy is a Democrat make me cringe as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538186867576403896.post-12411023291146900262009-04-06T02:24:00.000-05:002009-04-06T02:24:00.000-05:00My daughter in in classes with 14- and 15-year-old...My daughter in in classes with 14- and 15-year-old boys...who despite their being open-minded, intellectually curious, tolerant Canadian kids, I would not trust with the reins of civic policy just yet, thanks very much...so I feel quite close to this issue.<BR/><BR/>It says a world of things about the Republican Party and the entire "Conservative Movement" that they are falling head over heels for a 14-year-old boy's rhetoric. <BR/><BR/>And, frankly, none of the things it says are good.ethttp://rr-for-president.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
