Shame on you Hillary Clinton!!!! No I certainly would not let my kids sell their toys and donate to a politician... on second thoughts...maybe it would be ok if it was for the right candidate like Obama for example...I mean how could I stop them when they're displaying such accurate and intelligent judgement... I don't believe Barack would stoop so low as to accept money raised by a child selling their toys. Gill (a huge Jack fan) in Ireland Jack,

Therefore, I would never allow them to sell they toys for cause or take part in protests or rallies. It is time that parents stop discussing adult issues with children and let them have their childhood. They will have a life time to engage in adult issues, but their childhood is a very short period.

Fri, 23 May 2008 22:36:31 +0000 http://cnncaffertyfile.wordpress.com/?p=394#comment-342178 Not only about the kid, but that people are donating money to a politician, who they believe represents their interests and would serve their cause if elected is a very commendable gesture. Things like this don't happen in Nigeria, rather, our politicians induce us with gifts to vote for them, and when they get into office, they embezzle our money and resources. I would let my kid donate to a politician if he feels strongly about it. It shows me that my child has a mind of his own and is growing up to make selfless and patriotic choices.

It's a nice reflection on the parents about the way they are raising their child by getting him involved at an early age in our election process. Kudos to both his parents and the boy!

Hilliary should have not accepted this kid's money. She should have thanked him for the donation and the thought, and returned it with the hope that he donate it to less fortunate children.

To my understanding, parents should not use their kids to play politics. Politicians should not be proud to receive such gifts from any kid rather encourage kids to do more school work than play politics at that age. Noo way. kids should not be encouraged to do that.
