Pretty funny. However, I would keep it away from children until they are at least 11 or 12. Politics is very ugly stuff.

Not me.
My nine year old is reading Ann Coulter’s “How to talk to a liberal....”
My twelve year old just finished Beck’s book.

At one time I kept them away. Now they need to know.

Keeping reality away from children isn't the same as protecting them.

Just like teaching children not to go off with strangers or look both ways before crossing the street.Children who are taught to be aware grow up safer.

Can't that's way too late. Kids get involved in politics early in Elem. school.

Prior to the 2008 election my granddaughter's school had a 'Vote for President' project (experiment?). She was in 2nd Grade and she voted for McCain. (Obama barely won)

I've always told my grandkids (her younger brother is now 5, the littlest just turned 1), that Democrats are evil, worse than the Bogeyman --- that they're all 'C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T-S'.

And they 'get it' when I explain it on their level, in a 'Toy Concept'.
