Wow, CBS, judging from the comments I'd be embarrassed to publish a "story" like this. Bob Shieffer has been reduced to interviewing little boys? The country is laughing at you...so much for the network of Murrow.

That a kid has any political opinions -- particularly "conservative" ones -- at age 14 is a clear sign of parental browbeating. One of the dangers of homeschooling, I suppose; isolationism leads to totalitarianism.

'Jonathan Krohn'

Remember that name.

In a few years he'll be toe-tapping in an airport restroom somewhere.

The again, maybe he'll be Sarah Palin's other daughter's boyfriend--isn't she about 14 now? They'll be conservative leaders of Young Republicans for a Free America Under Christ PAC, or some other neo-neo-conservative group that keeps trying to reinvent itself to stay politically relevant.
And they'll say they're all about family values, no taxes, and Jesus, and that they're both still virgins, saving themselves for marriage--to be performed by Jesus himself at his 2nd coming--even though they sneak off into the bushes to smoke Alaskan salmon weed (the new meth 10 years from now) and she mounts him frequently.
Then she'll announce she's secretly pregnant by the Holy Spirit and he'll be caught in a gay religious scandal like Ted Haggard...

And you think I just thought this up??? It's been the true Republican soap opera of the last decade.

What a joke, the republican party is reduced to a teeny bopper as a spokesman. If this kid was thirty I might listen to him, I've got socks older than he is.

It is rumored that Johnaton Krohn, the neocon Fascist Nazi Republican teenage boy wonder, may hold classes in neocon Fascist Nazi Conservatism and is inviting all faithful Republican congresspeople to attend, since it appears that the neocons have lost their way in the jungle of conservatism!

Afterwards, he will debate Chris Mathews on Hardball and be interviewed by Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity on Fox News, which intends on devotiing a one hour special about him.

Next week, he will journey to Alaska where he will go on safari with Sarah "Caribeu Barbie" Palin hunting for Moose, Caribeau, and Bigfoot. Later, it is rumored Krohn will date Bristol Palin, despite the differences in their ages, but much to the satisfaction of MaMa Palin and all faithful neocon Fascist Nazis everywhere!!!

HAIL OBAMA!!!!

This is the PERFECT person to represent the Gay Old Pervert party. A teenage boy sex object for the old coots. Give him an internenship "under" Larry Craig.

to "irreverent1-2009" - Your sarcasm is sad. Maybe you should ask Tim Tebow - Heisman (also homeschooled) nominee how may date offers he gets. Seem rather attractive to me.

Please! This kid is Sarah Palin repackaged.

He's the cute, precocious person without any real experience in the world and not much education (8th grade?) telling people very simple concepts that are supposed to work in actually very complicated situations.

Could you imagine this kid having to handle an economic crisis? Or a situation involving international law and diplomacy? Or much of anything?

He MAY be ready for entry into politics in another decade or so, but that's only after a lot of education in the meantime. And even then, he'll only be ready for ENTRY LEVEL.
