10-year-old Susses The GOP
Greg Sargent, the author of the Plum Line blog on the Washingon Post's website, has a 10-year-old son who perfectly understands the Greedy Obnoxious Perverts' 2012 election strategy:

Political indoctrination of children. 
As offensive a practice as religious indoctrination

Re: 10-year-old Susses The GOP
I was that smart by the time I was 10. I was aware enough of politics to have an opinion different from my parents' when I was being toilet trained.
Children are not stupid. They're just inexperienced.
And you are trying to avoid the point of the cartoon, and of the thread. What's your agenda?

Re: 10-year-old Susses The GOP
Why would I have an agenda when it comes to merkin politics? Chill with the paranoia

Why would it automatically be political indoctrination?
Most kids have the same political opinions as their parents...at least until they become adolescents.

I did not get to vote till I was 24 or so...I was not a citizen. History was interesting, politics not.

Why always so defensive Schneibster? Get to know Aza first, he's a pretty funny guy.
You both can be rather brash dudes, you would get along great.

Re: 10-year-old Susses The GOP
Paranoid of indoctrination, paranoid of people with agenda.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
