God help the United States of America if Obama and his vile wife ascend to power.

Thats what happens when politicians keep amending the Constitution to expand the voting franchise against the warnings and advice of the Founding Fathers.

The final nail was the amendment that gave the vote to 18 year olds and then Motor Voter registering literally morons and illegal aliens.

Even if the muslim doesn't win, its only a matter of time before the socialists take over all 3 branches of government, and believe me, they will do what it takes to keep from ever losing power again.

Amen to that! I still can't believe that this amendment passed.

I totally agree about Motor Voter and illegal immigrants, but lowering the voting age to 18 was absolutely necessary. A significant percentage of our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan (as well as past US wars) have been under the age of 21, it would be absurd to deny them the right to vote. More importantly, 18-21 year olds pay income taxes (and other taxes) like everyone else. The American Revolution itself was fought over "taxation without representation", and it was absurd that for a while at least, the US was doing exactly what it rebelled against King George for doing.

Also, I hate to break this to you, but the strongest support for Obama comes from aging baby boomers, not 18-21 year olds. Sure, some of them in college towns may go to rallies, but rallies don't elect presidents, money does. Obama has TONS of money, and its coming from the aging baby boomers, not the younger generation.
