Nowhere is the fallout from Obama's healthcare proposals more evident than among the elderly, and nothing is more dangerous permanently for the Democratic Party than their increasing disaffection.

A Wall Street Journal poll taken last week reflects a gain by Republicans in party identification, closing the gap from 40-33 in April in favor of the Democrats to a Democratic margin of only 35-34. The data reflects that one-third of this six-point closure of the partisan gap comes from a major shift among the elderly - the only demographic group to have moved dramatically

Who would’ve thunk that the elderly would have such an aversion to “death panels”?

[sniper63]

That’s right libtards, Pi$$ off the ones with the most to loose, by forcing Deathcare on them.

Note that according to this, the GOP isn’t gaining so much as the Democrats are losing. The disillusionment is growing with BOTH major parties.

They got what they wanted, now they don't like it?

Next time, turn up those hearing aids!

[Froufrou]

I fear AARP renewals will be down, too. ;o)

[gov_bean_ counter]

To quote Whoopi Goldberg (which I almost never do)...

Check your battery!

They’ve (AARP) lost over 60,000 members since July 1st.

Conservatives, seniors and the GOP need to tell Baby Boomers that if this evil crap passes - you are next.

Baby Boomers will be facing death panels in a deacde or so.

0bama's Death Panels will ensure that they don't vote Republican.

[sport]

Agree!

[concerned about politics]

Baby Boomers will be facing death panels in a deacde or so.

Someday, the college kids who voted for Oboma will be given their death papers, too. I think we should make sure they know that. This is what happens when they vote for a big government.

I went to the Tea Party in Jackson Mi. yesterday. I estimate that retirement age people made up 60 to 70% of the crowd.

Including moi. I only joined for the discounts, anyway. Their magazine sucks eggs. Only a moron would have put Nicholson on the cover!

[wolfcreek]

Their Mag does suck.

Liberal celebrity of the month club. (discounts are good though)

[Bigg Red]

It’s about time they woke up....

[TexGuy]

Someday, the college kids who voted for Oboma will be given their death papers, too.

I doubt the country will be around that long ...

[Froufrou]

Did you ever notice how those articles about the ‘best places to live’ are always somewhere in birkie-wearing freaking Colorado?!

[Carley]

The geezers stuck with the dems after Bubba raised their social security taxes, RETROACTIVELY.

Now they’re suddenly waking up?

We’ll see.

Seems to me that was their intent after the bill was passed...
