I've observed that some elderly folks get more liberal and less rational as they age. It's much like trying to reason with a teenager...part of entering their second-childhood, apparently.

I was pretty much on the side of everyone else till this
irresponsible comment.

Only twits make comments that they can't back up with fact!

Do a video, audio or write a book on your extensive research
and then I will willingly go into the old foggies home never
to utter a word.

Until then get Fked! Is that a word?

I know what you're thinking, punk. Is he an engine for social change, or not?

Well what's it gonna be punk? Do you feel lucky?

Good observation and I've witnessed the same. Most turn more liberal because they want the "gub-mint" to pay for everything they need.

Not sure you can say "less rational" though. Perhaps, strongly resistant to change.

My experience is they become more fearful of dieing alone in a nursing home or without family.

Scaring the beegeezus out of the elderly is a liberal classic. Perhaps Hollywood is in its initial stages of a new political agenda.

Conservatives should support euthenasia! It would scare the elderly into Social Security reform. Just think how much they would fear the power of the government then. < /sarcasm>
