Any comparison between legalizing pedophelia and legalizing alcohol falls on its face for one simple reason: alcohol use when it was prohibitted was a victimless crime. My decision to consume this beverage doesn't require a partner. Further, to do so legally now I must be 19 years of age or older. In some places it is 21. Do you not see how abusrd it is to compare the legalization of a substance, for those 19 to 21 years of age, to legalizing sexual relations with someone who is 12?
That is the second aspect of absurdity in your arguement: the notion that were this so called "political party" (which they are not, they are an association of perverts FYI) voted into office by adults that it would then be ok for them to legalize sexual relations with children.
Society does not even permit children to vote and for good reason. It does not permit them to consume alcohol either and again for good reason. But it is "free political expression" to attempt to change the laws to allow adults to have sexual relations with 12 year olds? No, it is perverted. As Skybird has said, there are certain things in society that don't belong within the realm of political debate and sexual relations with 12 year old kids is one of them. This is not "politics", this is perversion.
