The elderly cost us the election. They have the most voters and the younger people have been more supportive of Ron Paul.

I see! How are the numbers looking in Indiana? I haven't seen a poll in months (mostly because there is only one candidate left in the race) :rolleyes:

If the number look good there, might be worth some more advertising bombardment, though HQ will probably not do it from the sounds of things lately.

Wonder what the High Tide ad budget looks like for Indiana.

Remember the news reporting on democrat vans that take the elderly from nursing homes to go and vote?

Should the Revolution rent buses in the remaining states, to escort the poor misguided souls? Possibly have a DVD of any of the debates...

The younger people don't see only one canidate in the race. They are less likely to buy into that bullshit.

RP needs to break the 20% mark, and do better then he did in PA. If he pulls this off, it will show momentum, and things will start to spin our way. :) Me thinks...

[pinkmandy]

He might do better because the MSM SAID he might do better which means more people might now vote for him.

It's a sad day when Paul supporters are rooting for voter disenfranchisement. We should be getting out the vote - not hoping the vote stays in. Paul has a lot of minority-friendly policies. This isn't good news at all.

Works for me. I will take the votes any way we can get them. ;)

I should point out that saying the elderly 'cost us the election' is sort of true, and sort of not.

It's not that the older generations view RP less favorably exactly. I think it's more because most RP supporters learned about him through the internet and most internet users are young people.

But honestly I feel like in some ways RP appeals to the older generation of conservatives just because he has more old-school views about government. A lot of the elderly Republicans here in Missouri are like that, anyway.

Only an well informed public can make good decisions as to voting in elections.
As long as the spooks run the MSM, that will never happen. Know your enemy.

Friggin fluoride drinking MSM newspaper reading TV zombie old people...
Just a matter of time before they die off, I suppose.

Requiring an ID to vote is only going to hurt freedom. Think about it.
The sheep are ultra-conformists. They have their IDs, they get their flu shots, they do everything that they are 'supposed' to do.

Persons like myself, who have an ID from 3 addresses ago because I don't want to pay the $30 ID fee, and pay $40 for new checks, etc. every time I move, will get screwed probably. Actually, I my ID is legit, it's just not where I live. ;)

I take exception to blaming the old people because they voted. I am old, I voted for RP as did lots of other old people. I am sorry that you move a lot. Many people did not vote for RP. Young and old.

Damn. I'm not doing well tonight, I keep unintentionally offending people.:(

I will elaborate.

In my 2 conventions I have been at, there was more 40+ then 18-40 Ron Paulers. There was also plenty of 60+. I was actually surprised and the quantity and very proud of these people. 1 more convention to go... Then national if I'm lucky~.

On the negative side, there are a lot more sheep then us, and most of them are 50+, baby boomers if you will. Sorry if I offended.

For you, it's just tonight, for me, it runs in the family.

[driller80545]

Sheep come in all ages, shapes, and forms. I do wonder where young people are though. Are they in Obama's camp, do you think. I am also surprised that more of the older sheep don't vote for RP. He is their peer and certainly very conservative. I think you are probably right about MSM being their source of info. That's funny to me because I can remember a time when TV was not all that common. Ha, imagine that.

You're right. They are all flocking to Obama.
