Most old folks just voted for Obama.
I think a lot of the Boomers and older did vote for this. They were deceived by the promise of ObamaCare.
ps: Gear up, somethin’s comin’
In hard times, the elderly tend not to do well. In times such as major catastrophes, not well at all. I’m getting close to elderly (hitting 60 this year.)
No. About half the Boomers might have but the rest of us are Patriots. The others are Liberals..it’s just like the ‘60’s again. Half protest and do drugs. The other half go to Viet Nam and fight.
My friends and I are all close to ninety and none of us voted for this usurper. Where did you get that idea?
No way...if we are able to read and remember, we know that it can only be bad for healthcare, investments and cost of living.
I only know a few lifelong Dems who continue to vote that way. They will not discuss why or even talk about it.
Not to worry.
To many here at FR, we're just a bunch of takers and useless eaters.
No. They didn't.
In the nine battleground states that decided the election where extensive exit polling was done on November 6th, 0bama lost the oldest demographic (65 and over) by the largest margin: by a whopping 18 points. He also lost the 45-64 demographic by a hefty 9 points.
The national numbers aren't as complete because exit polling isn't done to nearly the same extent in "safe" states, but they show similar results.
Incidentally, he also lost among Whites by an enormous 22 points, and he lost married females.
This election was entirely about dependency: poor minorities, middle class blacks overwhelmingly employed by the government, and single females. Even among young whites (18-24), 0bama did not perform significantly better in this election than past Democrats.
Please don't believe that driving past some idiot blue hair is evidence that old people voted for 0bama.
They didn't.
Same here.
Oh, and just one more thing for people who’re guided by their prejudices rather than statistics or science: Romney had one of the best Republican showings in recent years among Black males. This is a group that doesn’t vote in nearly the same percentages as Black females, but among those who did, Romney got almost 30%, compared with nearly 0% from Black women.
See my previous post. And have a look, among many other places, here: http://www.statisticbrain.com/2012-presidential-voter-support-by-demographic/
The older you were, the less likely you were to vote for 0bama. http://www.statisticbrain.com/2012-presidential-voter-support-by-demographic/
Thank You Tommie...here at our house we are 70 and 75 and we sure as Hell didn’t vote for him nor did any of our friends or family...in fact Somerset County, PA.
told him to get lost and we are all elderly...
damn that is a scary phrase...but we know our days ahead are not as many as the days in our past....
When you are old, remember you said this for that is what others will say about you then. In other words, they will assume becayse you are old, you have no sense. You are pitifully wrong.
“Not to worry. To many here at FR, we’re just a bunch of takers and useless eaters.”
iowamark is an idiot and any that think like he does are the same. The elderly in Texas would line him up against a fence and take target practice.
