1. I guess I'm still in the Fringe. Born in '44 and never even considered voting Republican.

2. I liked Ike at 9 which was right

in fact got to see him at Shape headquarters in france after that it says I was democratic all the way and I was ... but have become more 'left' and not even close to where it says I should be at my present age... still democrat but closer to the border to republican which i'm not

3. It is very hard to believe this

After all,Ike was a rather unusual Republican and his party's platform was more liberal than the present one from our Democrats. If true however, it means that people don't think about policies, but rather follow a party, no matter whether it has changed or not. That, indeed, would be very sad.

4. The article noted that the evidence suggests that one's politics are developed

during one's formative years (14-24) and after that one's political leanings are less effected by events.

That fits your analysis - early on one takes on a mantle of political identity, then wears it despite the changes that occur around them.
