18 or 21? I think the law should be left alone. The Tea/Publicans want to change it. Why?

I don't know, a lot of 18 year olds have a MTV view of the world so I am for it. However, if you are in the military at 18 then absolutely.

If you are old enough to die for your country, you should be able to vote for those who run it.

they want to minimize the support the 'other side' got in 2008 That's certainly correct. Every thing the righties do has to be seen through the prism of the 2012 elections.

Every thing the righties do has to be seen through the prism of the 2012 elections. you think they can repeal the 26th amendment in time for the 2012 elections? ahaha.. this is more leftist propaganda.. usually there is a link to a leftist site proposing such idiocy, but there is none included in the OP.. Maybe you have one that I can read to get all the "facts"..

Ah. Here's a source that might be interesting. Obama's disastrous presidency has already produced Republican senators from Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Illinois; New Jersey's wonder-governor Chris Christie; and the largest House majority for Republicans since 1946. We deserve more. Clinton only threatened to wreck the health care system; Obama actually did it. We must repeal the 26th Amendment. http://townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/2010/11/10/repeal_the_26th_amendment! There are a lot of articles related to this one.

Last time I checked she wasn't a member of Congress.. Got any that actually have the ability to bring forth a bill to change the voting age by 2012?
