ixteen-year-olds can drive, work, pay taxes and be sentenced to life in prison. Now, some want the right to vote, too. On Tuesday, San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos will attempt to make that happen by introducing a measure that would extend the right to vote to 16- and 17-year-olds. Avalos and other supporters say it will encourage civic engagement among youths and instill in them lifelong voting habits at a time when turnout is low.

Two year olds can eat, crap and die. Why not let THEM vote too?

Democrats are brain dead.

Young and dumb and full of BS is just the way the RAT party likes their voters.

[MeshugeMikey]

Between Soros Marijuana projects...and lower voting ages...and the influc of so called Immigrants.....theyre not missing a BEAT!

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s the commie way. Get ‘em while they’re young, stupid and retarded. Once they grow up, they won’t be voting for communist pigs like this “supervisor”.

[lowbridge]

Theyll change their minds if those 16 year olds start voting republican.

Too bad it’s illegal to smack people in the head to knock some sense into them. Just saying....

I still enjoy Wild in the Streets, and another movie of his that I got a kick out of back then was, “Three in the Attic”.

that is a possibilty that they’d like to deny..

[Joe Boucher]

Use to be you had to be a landowner in America to vote.
Instead of allowing the takers to force rediculous welfare

[MeshugeMikey]

That concept was a very wise one.

[MaxMax]

Voting should be for land owners, but then they would be selling land by the inch.

Maybe just make a min of 33-years of age, and literate in the Constitution.

Don’t DISENFRANCHISE the people who are not conceived yet! If any Democrat says they plan to have children, they should be issued ballots for the number they plan to have.

[MeshugeMikey]

that plan will be leaked by the end of the week....I’m almost certain

[MeshugeMikey]

Id bet that the majority of todays voters have never even begun to examine the Constitution! A Lot of them dont even know we have one.

[Lazamataz]

But ONLY DEMOCRATS get this bonus vote.

Otherwise, you're racist.

[terycarl]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[MeshugeMikey]

I HEAR YOU!

The Constitution is what you see in the sky when it’s really dark, Yo.
