good.
glad someone is waking up.
The Silent Generation (Artist, born 1925-1942) grew up as the suffocated children of war and depression. They came of age just too late to be war heroes and just too early to be youthful free spirits. Instead, this early-marrying Lonely Crowd became the risk-averse technicians and professionals—as well as the sensitive rock ‘n rollers and civil-rights advocates—of a post-crisis era in which conformity seemed to be a sure ticket to success. Midlife was an anxious “passage” for a generation torn between stolid elders and passionate juniors. Their surge to power coincided with fragmenting families, cultural diversity, institutional complexity, and prolific litigation. They are entering elderhood with unprecedented affluence, a “hip” style, and a reputation for indecision. (examples: AMERICAN: Colin Powell, Walter Mondale, Woody Allen, Martin Luther King, Jr., Sandra Day O’Connor, Elvis Presley; FOREIGN: Anne Frank, Mikhail Gorbachev)
I hope he’s right and I also hope this floosie that’s coming out of the sewer with Allred this afternoon against Cain doesn’t botch it with the “silent” ones.
A lot of the older voters like Romney for some damn reason.
This includes black people of Herman Cain’s generation. They voted for Obama because they wanted to live to see a black man in the White House. But their politics are more like Cain’s than Obama’s. I grew up with these people.
A Cain candidacy would peel off the older black voters (65 and older) and provide a real threat to Obama’s re-election because he wouldn’t get 90+% of the black vote again.
I call BS on the age parameters of this study.
People who are now 70 years of age,for example,were not old enough to vote for Eisenhower. A person who today is 66 was not old enough to vote for either Kennedy or Eisenhower.
The misinformation and false divisions today are mind boggling. What can be the purpose of this nonsense I wonder?
