Exactly. Michael Barone had an article a couple of months ago along the same lines. “you can’t be authentic if you weren’t a hippie in the sixties. Whatever...
The vast majority of Americans weren’t hippies in the 60’s or 70’s (when the 60’s “culture” actually happened)
This is one of the stupidest “attacks” I have ever heard of. If the Democrats want a line of attack that makes sense, is true and will work.... run an ad campaign in October pointing out that Romney is just a pale imitation of a Democrat.
Damn; I am a Roman Catholic and I guess I have to be lumped in with Romney. First part of the 60s I was to young to do dope and get laid, second part of the 60s I was pretty busy doing my 4 years in the the Marine Corps. I did notice when I came home on leave before shipping out that the people in my age group had become kind of strange and unemployable.
I got my Dear John about 8 months into my tour, seems she just couldn’t live with being engaged to a member of the military/industrialist complex who killed men, women and Children for a living (thank God). I guess I can’t be an authentic human being by that standard. I must be a Sears-Roebuck model, but lets not forget that Sears also makes the Craftsman model of tools.
