I'm 24 and agree with you. Sadly the older folks only watch Fox News for their info, I don't know how we can reach out more to this group, someone from this older age group needs to step up with the plan.

I agree with this nice lady....
The bathing part is a good idea too..I support bathing..and remember to wash behind your ears.
Ms. Doodahs, I've said similar things that you have. Thanks for reiterating what needs to be said, regardless of what kind of response you may get from some who frequent this board.
Thank you for your wisdom, and everyone get out and vote in FL on Tuesday!!!
Hit the nail right on the head
I agree with you. Too much immaturity is a reason why we are not in the lead of the polls.
I think you may be surprised how much impact a few select people could have.
"The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility and out of self-interest for himself, his family, and the future of his country to resist government abuse of power. He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to the state. Resistance need not be violent, but the civil disobedience that might be required involves confrontation with the state and invites possible imprisonment." -Ron Paul
agreed.
Dang, you're mean.

My experience is that old people are scared of the terrorists. They are not scared of the economy failing. Not here in America. Impossible. I'm not saying they are right, I'm saying that is the way they are.
We must convince old folks that RP's foriegn policy will make them safer, and it will. They also must be convinced that leaving Iraq is not surrender and another war lost.
They can be convinced, I have done it. But it is not a quick fix and must be proven with logic, not noise. They will listen if you speak logically, but as soon as you become aggressive in any percieved way, they are gone. Its like foreplay, the gentler you are, the farther you're gonna get.

I picked up a senior newspaper, maybe we should get some ads related to seniors?
This can all be summed up thusly:
TARGET THE BASE
NOT THE ANTI-WAR VOTE
NOT KIUCINICH SUPPORTERS
NOT 420
NOT TRUTHERS
NOT YOUNG PEOPLE (UNDER 35)
If we cannot win the base, we cannot win primaries. We NEED 5 WINS (not 5 second-places) TO EVEN BE ALLOWED TO QUALIFY FOR THE CONVENTION.
So target older, conservative voters. Upper class voters, guys with CASH and CONNECTIONS.
Then boy, you have never tried to live on a fixed income. Are you out of your mind? They ain't gonna be drafted. Most of them live in places where a terrorist would have to be bored out of his mind to go. ALL they care about is whether or not their money is going to make it to the end of their life or if they are going to go broke before they die. That is a big worry, and when you are unable to work anymore you will understand it.
I just have to say this. When you write for Ron Paul or go door to door for him, be professional and that includes using SPELL CHECK when you post. This whole board is full of illiterates and it makes us all look bad. I before E except after C. Perceived. Foreign is one of the exceptions where the E comes before the I.
The people on this board don't know the difference between its and it's, their, there and they're, your and you're. These are things I learned in second grade. I would not have gotten past fourth grade spelling like that. And today you have computers to spell for you and check your grammar.

Now if we can make winning seniors as popular as sex.You just compared winning a senior to Ron Paul with enticing your partner to sex.

Well there you go generalizing. THIS 'older folk' has NEVER watched Fox News. Indeed, for most of my life that network wasn't around. Since people tend to stick with what's familiar, it's quite possible that we old ones have been watching more of ABC, CBS, and NBC instead of FOX.
First take back the Republican Party: Join the GOP Rising!
Next become a Precinct Leader
Then donate to RP's presidential or congressional campaign

And herein lies the problem: the younger generation is trapped within the system (think Social Security) and by the time you've aged, you have paid in sooooo much money that you will no longer WANT the system to be changed because if it does get changed, you'll be shortchanged.
Why can't everybody else leave everybody else alone?
That is why we need to explain that they will NOT be shortchanged. We can get the youth out (which is what they wanted before) and keep them going (even better) if we bring the troops home.And herein lies the problem: the younger generation is trapped within the system (think Social Security) and by the time you've aged, you have paid in sooooo much money that you will no longer WANT the system to be changed because if it does get changed, you'll be shortchanged.
