1. is there video/audio of this to put in ads ASAP? nt

2. Wait until enough Boomer men retire on nothing

except the decreased equity in their houses and Social Security. There will be plenty of angry white guys then.

Of course, most of them will be angry at the Republicans who robbed them of wages and benefits all their lives.

4. The Republicans will then lie and accuse the Democrats for it.

Bank on it.

They'll repeat their lies until they will be considered the truth by these 'angry white men' retiring broke.

We know their MO don't we.

6. Right

saved me the post ...

As with what we are dealing with now, as with bizarely, 9-11 ...

It will be blamed on the liberal ...

10. It's nothing new, but they're not winning.

And as long as they're not winning, they can (and will) keep doing it all they want (if they think they will have more chances to win with that ugly stuff they do, I'd like to have a bridge I could sell them).

[Warpy]

12. Yes, we do. I just keep hoping the Miss Nellies in pants

who have been running the party and afraid of offending the Republicans by telling the truth will die off and let the rest of us have at them.

5. Boomers? Angry at Republicans? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

What does chocolate taste like in your universe?

[Amonester]

7. That's crap.

I'm 59, white, and angry at Republicans.


What's that?

[Scootaloo]

13. Oh good, I found the boomer spokesperson.

What are the odds, huh?

*cough*

Maybe you haven't noticed chuckles, but... take a look at Bloviatefest down in Tampa. Those people are 59 and white, too. I hate to break it to you, but folks in your demographic aren't especially strong for democrats. This is why republicans consider them "the base."

So. Good for you. Doesn't change the point.

[Amonester]

14. Generalize much?

Ok, I get it, you're angry.

I thought all Dems welcomed people of all ages...

From your post, looks like I generalized that also.

Bye.

[Warpy]

11. You must be very sheltered.

That is all.

3. And thank goodness for that!

8. Glad to hear it Lindsey.

Now go away.

16. To know why the "angry white men" are declining,

you have to understand demographics,
you have to understand the difference between the amount of the wage and its purchasing power,
the difference between a private commodity and a public good,
between income and wealth.
And if you understand politics in relation to those things, you have no trouble seeing that the Republicans have nothing to offer but more of the same decline.
A conservative mob, rest assured, is almost always manufactured.
Real discontent was behind the liberal OWS. They had a case.
No rest for the wicked.
No sympathy for the wealthy.

17. They are becoming becoming befuddled old ones judging by last night performance.

That'll attract the youth vote.
