USA offensive combat action in Vietnam ended 9 weeks after the 1972 election, not before the election.
Re: “George Wallace was seen as to the Right of Nixon.”
Only on two issues: States Rights and Desegregation.
Wallace was to the Left of Nixon on Vietnam - he pledged to unconditionally bring home the troops in 90 days if the War could not be won with non-nuclear weapons.
Re: “The white under 30 vote is far more liberal than it used to be.”
In 1980, Ronald Reagan received just 44% of the youth vote, which was at least 85% white.
Reagan's opponents - the liberal Jimmy Carter and the RINO John Anderson - received 56%.
Re: “You are comparing pure white under 30s with the total under 30 voting of the past.”
In 1968, more than 90% of ALL voters were white.
Re: “Obama still did great with the white under 30s in 2012.”
What!
Romney beat Obama by 7% with white youth.
Romney: 51%
Obama: 44%
Re: “You seem to be agreeing with the writer’s mistaken history of the under 30 vote.”
The writer claims that non-white teenagers may become Conservatives.
I say that's total bunk!
Re: “You seem determined to make immigration the sole problem for some reason.”
Just one reason:
20 million imported Socialist voters since the Reagan Amnesty in 1986.
I don’t know if you remember the election of 1968, Wallace was seen as to the right of Nixon.
The democrats received 44% of the under 30 vote of all races in 1980 for someone far to the right of Obama, the same percentage that Obama got of the pure white, under 30 vote in 2012 that you are so proud of, after they voted for him in 2008 by an incredible margin of 54%.
You seem obsessed with immigration being the only problem we have with the under thirty vote, why is that? Are you a young guy too young to remember the past you keep writing about?
Have you noticed my tag line? Do you think that I am not aware of immigration and voting as well, while you are determined to make it the SOLE problem with the under 30 voters.
The PURE WHITE, under 30 vote, went 54% for full term pro-abortion, liberal deity Obama, in 2008, we’ve never seen anything like it.
