No one around here likes my voting advice, even if it is, mathematically the only real correct stance. so I say this, tell him to do what feels right, it doesn't matter any how. | |||

Tacfoley makes great points and sadly has a better handle on American politics and values than probably 75% of the Americans under the age of 35 | |||

I copied Tacfoley's post and sent it to my grandson. It is, indeed, excellent. I don't have to worry about my grandson's gun values. He's being raised right on that issue. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

1. Find out what issue(s) matters to you. 2. Do your research and stay informed. 3. Question, question, question. 4. Only after you feel like you have answers, vote. It seems like this is about helping him choose how to vote like an autonomous adult, not getting him to vote the same way grandpa would. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

If you want to increase the probability that things will go your way in politics then contribute money in addition to voting.

"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of." -Susanna Gratia Hupp Link When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

Don't ever like a politician. See them for what they are. The good ones are despicable. The bad ones are fools. The worst ones are actually evil. If you always look at politicians as bad people doing a distasteful job that you're glad to not have to do yourself, you will see them more clearly. Then judge if you can stand to vote for them and vote for the one that will leave the most rights intact. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

1. Think for himself 2. Do is own research on any issue/person 3. Understand the process and history of any issue/candidate 4. On any issue weigh the short term vs long term benefits 5. Trust nothing you read in the media, regardless of who says it. Verify At the end of the day, if he is not going to invest the time and trouble to actually know what he are doing when he enters the voting booth, then dont vote. And take what Rumsfeld says here very seriously when voting: | |||
