I always forget who said it... if you're under 30(?) and you're a Repub you have no heart, over 30 and a Democrat you have no brain. Nobody said this (well, besides you :-).
There is a quote which (in various phrasing) is often attributed to Winston Churchill, but (of course) this quote mentions neither "Democrats" nor "Republicans" since being a Brit he would not have thought in those terms. The quote people cite mentions "liberals" and "conservatives", and further, if Churchill actually said it, he would have meant something quite different by the word "liberal" (and for that matter "conservative") than most Americans do today.
Furthermore, there is some doubt as to whether Churchill ever said such a thing.
And besides, I've always disagreed with that quote, whoever said or didn't say it, and however it is phrased.
I'm 18, does that make me generation Y? Oh well, I'm conservative (My www.politicalcompass.score is 9.4 for economics, and 3.5 for politics), and most of my friends are as well.

"if you're under 30(?) and you're a Repub you have no heart, over 30 and a Democrat you have no brain."
I agree. This is false. An excuse for partially reformed liberals who now realize that they were not too sharp in their thinking back then and supported an ideology that was false and now hurtful to them personally. Many of these converts have socialist tendencies. Not all, but many...

Nobody said this (well, besides you :-). Well then I'm going to go on record as having said it.. just make certain you spell my name right.
