A Comment

I guess elections do matter now don't they ? the problem with America is simple. A 20 year old kid who never held a job in his life, is still in high school and lives with his parents can vote for a candidate with not ever knowing anything about that candidate or any of the issues. That vote can then "cancel" the vote of a person who fought in a war serving their country, held a productive job and paid taxes for 30 years and is exposed to all the political issues and has formed an informed view of them. There is always this PUSH to get young people to vote. Why not PUSH to get INFORMED people who have a vested interest in this country to vote ?

Instead it's like the media promotes voting for voting's sake. That's how an inexperienced candidate like Obama wins over a decorated War hero. Sad really, we still have almost 3 1/2 years until we get to chose again

This was a comment (hat tip to "nondemocrat") I found in the "comments" section of an article (Breitbart) about now-resigned Green Jobs Czar Van Jones. The comment is concise in its description of the voting situation in this country and how the media has missed the opportunity for real change by playing partisan politics.

Btw... Bye-bye Van. Back into your hole.
