this is just a pathetic attempt by the republicans to start drawing young voters their way....much the same tactic the democrats used this last election to draw out the numbers of young voters who have not yet experienced the lies of politics.............how about both parties doing what is best for this country...RESIGN and DISBAND BOTH parties.......you have BOTH miserably failed the people...you have NEVER represented our wishes , dreams or needs. You have BOTH taken billions of dollars under the table to make laws that allowed Wall street to destroy the middle class.......Washington and BOTH parties should face charges of TREASON.

Home schooling produces psycho extremists, nothing more. This kid probably thinks Adam rode a T-Rex out of the garden of Eden too

That's not too far from what they actually teach in Creationism/Intelligent Design these days; they believe dinosaurs and humans existed on Earth at the same time--but that it's all less than 10,000 yrs old. Ha!

The future of the Rushpublican party sure looks a lot like the past.

HItler was a kid once too. I love how a little kid who has never had even the slightest daliance with health care, to lecture on health care. The fact that Republicans are so enamoured with a parrot in size 2, proves that they were indeed the ones who bought Billy Big Mouth Bass too

Many child stars have complained about missing out on their childhood by growing up too fast. There will be plenty of time for this 14 year old to be involved in adult politics, right now he should be busy doing things 14 year old do and concentrating to getting good grades and preparing for college. This kid is a novelty, nothing more.

We need MORE - not LESS politically active kids - involved with ALL parties and levels of government.

Maybe if they learn earlier they will AVOID the foolish mistakes of of the past and move this nation forward rather than endlessly repeating former mistakes and claiming ignorance of history as their excuse.

My youngest volunteered and helped with the 2000, 2004 set of elections for the local Democratic offices and in 2008 when she could finally vote, provided help for ALL the parties so the elections could be held in the most fair and honest manner as possible.

It was a good opportunity to showcase the workings of government and how it affects everyone to someone that hopefully will "make a difference" someday.

I encourage other parents to take that opportunity as a chance to "get to know" and "do something together" with their politically interested kids too.

So, if he were 14, on drugs, trying to decide if his girlfriend should have an abortion, wearing a t-shirt that says, "Keep staring I might do tricks." we can breathe a sigh of relief because he doesn't live a sheltered life? And, by knowing what he believes and being able to articulate it, we see that he doesn't know about anything? I guess if you believe that MTV and the Disney Channel are the only things there are, then maybe he is glad he doesn't know anything. Personally, I think the shelter for children who receive their education from their parents is larger than the general population thinks. It seems to do a good job of keeping out the immoral garbage being dished out at public schools as "the real world." Most homeschooled children regularly interact with same-age peers in homeschool groups or sports teams, receive an education that more closely resembles that of our forefathers, (many of whom had graduated college by the age of 14), and receive supervision, guidance and direction from the people who care the most about their future...their own parents. And this is a bad thing? I, for one, will rest easier praying that a man like the one this boy will become is the future of our country. It makes me shudder to think that some of my fellow Americans might think it wiser to elect someone who prepared for service in the highest office of our land by spending 8 hours a day (more in the summer) pushing buttons on an XBOX (giving himself a well-rounded education) and who ran on the platform that he will give tax credits only on fifth marriages, require public schools to supply all children with Red Bull as part of their "free breakfast," institute a ban on reading anything but comic books, and a mandate to redecorate the Whitehouse with posters of Megadeth.
