When the Washington Beltway was built it threw a noose around the nuts, but they escaped, even farther outside. Virginia came around later,and it too is filled with bought votes. The Eastern shore is still habitable. Or is it?
I’m sure that they already do.
If we could leave, I’d be so out ta here!
Sounds like SF bay area. The inmates run the asylum.
I lived in Montgomery County for 8 years, and it is ultraliberal. I was in Burtonsville, which is a little less so. The county council tried to enact a leash law for cats.
The while WDC area is full of NUTZ!
“I’m in favor of moving it to 21 plus active military.”
I agree moving voting back to 21 . My first vote was in NY 61 years ago. We had to be 21 to vote and 18 to drink. We now have it backwards. Lets go back to the “good old days”
In reality, I want 25 and own property, but I would take what we could get in that direction.
Yes, that makes perfect sense.
Why wouldn’t they do it?
I’m sure the moron voters of Maryland will eagerly support this too.
I mean, why even stop at 16?
Why not make it zero?
And dead people too?
Oh and Russians living in Russia as well, oh and the China Chinese, why not, right?
I remain convinced that all those college students from “up North” who go to VA schools have helped turn the voting tide in our Old Dominion. The Obama folks recruited like crazy on college campuses; some country registrars noted residency requirements, i.e., that unless they live here all year, they shouldn’t be voting, but our then-Governor, now-Senator Kaine shut up the registrars. Voila! VA turned blue.
Not everyone can serve in the military
Bad eyes, some sort of injury, too short, too tall, feet too big. So they should be prevented from voting?
I can see raising the voting age to 21 or better 28. When they complain that they can buy beer at 21 but not vote then raise the drinking age.
Having military service as a requirement to vote would be as heinous as letting 16 year old kids vote.
Ridiculous!
When the voters of Maryland elect Barbara Milkulski to the U.S. Senate since 1986, you know Maryland is far to the left of the scale.
Has anyone seen Barbara Milkulski lately? Her age is causing problems with her ability to speak.
Since they’ve declared that anything goes, where do we get our absentee ballots? Not letting us vote just because we don’t live there is discrimination.
I. recommend ID check, Drug Test, Political Knowledge Test, Can’t be on Welfare, must be at least age 27(MILITARY CAN VOTE AT ANY AGE)
I add the military for the younger group for the following reason. Those willing to risk their life to defend this country, or whatever political posturing, should have say in those who would send them into harms way.
They should lower the voting age to 5, mandate that the dead vote, and allow mentally-ill people to vote once per voice-in-their-head.
Wasn’t it Chevy Chase Village that tried to pass an ordinance that you couldn’t smoke in the village ... anywhere! Not even in your own home.
If they can hold a civie job, in most cases, they can hold a military job. Most military jobs are in support, not frontline. Although still, a small percentage in no way can hold military jobs like you say.
Excellent post! THAT, is the way it should be.
