Romney is much stronger among senior citizens...

As we age, our brains slowly shrink in volume and weight.

This includes significant atrophy within the frontal lobes, the seat of executive functioning.

Executive functions include planning, controlling, and inhibiting thought and behavior.

In the aging population, an inability to inhibit unwanted thoughts and behavior causes several social behaviors and cognitions to go awry.

In a study appearing in Current Directions in Psychological Science, psychologist Bill von Hippel, reports that decreased inhibitory ability in late adulthood can lead to unintended prejudice, social inappropriateness, depression, and gambling problems.

Regarding prejudice, von Hippel and colleagues found that older white adults showed greater stereotyping toward African Americans than younger white adults did...

The elderly supported Bush, Palin, McCain, Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilley, etc.
Republicanism works well for those who respond best to fear mongering.
 
So by your logic, all those blacks supporting Obama just cause he is a black man are racist then?

He has not made anything better for them, unemployment for blacks is at an all time high, so why would they still vote to keep him unless they are racist?
 
Your core constituency is dying out, RacistX.

"Minorities" aren't minorities any more, and the aging GOP base won't be around much longer, will it?

But if the core constituency is dying out, who will pay all those taxes democrats keep passing? And if the whites are the new minority, does that mean the old minority group will actually have to get off their ass and go to work for a living instead of waiting for the government to provide food and housing for them?

Why, the young Latinos, Latinas, Asians and others who are bumping US demographics away from your ilk, RacistX,

Old white dinosaurs are dying out, and the right's message of hate doesn't appeal to the new majority.

The biggest gap between Obama and Romney's favorable ratings is among younger Americans.

More than two-thirds of those under 30 have a favorable view of Obama, compared to only four-in-ten who feel that way about Romney.

America hit a demographic milestone last year, with new census figures showing for the first time more than half the children born in the U.S. were minorities.
 
old people most certainly are proles, this much is true, and yes, our society will be better off once they all die off. Then we'll finally have legalized weed. \o/

The fact that it still hasn't been decriminalized and continues to eat up billions every year in the 'drug war' speaks to the rigidity of old thinking.

Not to mention the billions of revenue it could be creating if it were legal, taxed and regulated.

So yeah, it's important.

actually I would say it's an important issue. We have millions locked up for complete non-violence, a threat to no one. we've wasted billions fighting a drug war when ANY highschool kid can get a whole range of drugs easier than alcohol, we have people block it's medicinal purposes. We could be using that money in thousands of other more productive areas, we could have our police forces more focused on real crime etc

So yes, I do believe it's one of our most important issues.
