Either some of these people led some pretty dull lives or have short memories and don't remember what it was like to be in their early 20's. Hope my kids take me out and shoot me if I ever sound like some of these people! Stuffed shirts if you ask me.

I've seen these types of Freepers for years. I refer to them as "Hard-ass" conservatives. When they aren't pretending to be John Wayne on the frontier ("Well pardner, when I was a young'un, I was workin' 17 hours a day in a coal mine, and I was thankful for it") they're being humorless crumudgeons. Also completely rigid, compassionless, and unforgiving in character, they feel that anyone who doesn't live life according to their perception of what a pure conservative is, and doesn't do so 24-7-365 is ripe for insults.

Stuffed shirts is right.

Must've had pretty dull lives in their 20's because I remember mine quite clearly, though I'm embarrassed by 'certain' aspects. We all had them, though some are apt to gloss over the details.

I'll have a teenager in a short six years.

He's asking intelligent questions for the age of seven about the electoral college, conventions in general and how candidates are selected.

My pubbie in training is so fantastic. Now it's off to bed before our 'day before school' tomorrow.

I'll let you battle the stuffed shirts for us!

My grandmother is 93, sharp as a tack, highly educated not easily pleased.
She loved the twins and thought "they were witty and a breath of fresh air"
I dont know why other people are judging them harshly !
And Jenna was brave because its well known she hates the spotlight.
Cut them some slack. I doubt anyone posting aspersions against their characters has ever spoken on an international scale live in person.
