What's your take on the elections?

Okay, I have this theory... Most candidates that run for president, often want the vote of older people, because they are more inclined to vote. Therefore, they often have a plan for medicare and such, but nothing else. I think that younger people don't want to vote because the candidates have nothing to offer to them. Most young people would like more help with the enviorment. And if a candidate were to listen to younger people and balance what they want, with what older people want, they could get many more votes from both young and old.

Here's how this works:

~Choose a person running for office, and idea about government, or a characteristic you like/dislike about the goverment
~Write a poem or narrative (no more than 50 lines)
~No erotica, swearing, dissing
~Make it sound political, make it sound GOOD

Have fun with it!

    Hillary Clinton needs cosmetic surgery. See the bags under her eyes? That is the easiest procedure and least costly and you can just have it done and then go home AND you will look SO MUCH BETTER! Yeah.

    Does this have to be about the current US elections? Or are you interested in other elections past or present?
