Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Generation Jones? What the hell is "Generation Jones"?
Perhaps based on where they get their news.
This is exactly what I see as well. Boomer women are rabid, maniacal Kerryistas, Jones women are a mixed bag and the X women are in our camp. The numbers here where I live are even more lopsided than shown in this study.
30 - 39 October 5 - 11, 2004 - Total
Bush 51.6%
W stands For Woman after all
30-39, that's me, although I'm toward the end of that range, but still an Xer I guess. An Xer for W.
Seventies America, exhausted by the intensity of the 60s and burnt out from the impact of the Boomers, just wasn't ready for yet another generation. By decade's end, with the 1-2 punch (in late '80) of Ronald Reagan's election and John Lennon's assasination, authentic youth culture was driven deep underground. In fact, with the exception of hip-hop, there were no significant youth movements in 80s America.
John Lennon was the embodiment of youth culture and Reagan killed it???
Generation Jones? I'm 40, and I consider myself Generation Reagan. ;)
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
This is 100 percent true in Ohio. The bad news is, young white men are angry and their anger is directed at bush. It seems the booming service jobs suit women, but the disappearing manufacturing jobs is making men mad. When I talk to the men, they seem discouraged and feel the system does not have a place for them. The women are full of hope and optimism.
X-er woman for Bush .... glad to see I've got company.
"MeeeeEeeeeEeeeeEeeeeee aaaaaaaaAaaaaaand Gener...Generation JoooooOoooones!"
WOW!
"Generation X women actually increased their support for Bush, favoring him by 52% to 43%."
Big Generation-Reagan neon grins!!!
(Me so proud now!)
Generation Jones - provided the decisive vote that re-elected George W. Bush on Nov. 2, 2004.

...if not for his significant margins among Generation Jones voters, Bush would not have been re-elected. Bush's margins among Jones voters were responsible for his wins in five key states that provided him with his Electoral College majority - Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico. In these five states, the majority of voters in all of the other age groups combined favored Democrat John Kerry.
