This was because of the 1930′s and the drumbeat conditioning that Dems were for the “little guy” and the Republicans – illogically yet happily dreaming of suicide – only supported the 5% at the top of society.

Eisenhower helped to crack that conditioning a little, Nixon maybe a little less. As the 60′s radicalism began to hit home, these older relatives – some born in the 1890′s – very
s l o w l y felt abandoned by the Dems, and found themselves going to 1976 Reagan rallies, and if they were still alive, turned to Reagan in 1980.

So people can change, but it can be difficult.

Massachusetts with its Kennedy fixation remains a mystery, as do Christians who refuse to see the anti-life/anti-religion aspects of the Dem Party.

Propaganda, the drumbeat conditioning from the MSM that Dems still help the “little guy” and Republicans help only “big business” and give “tax breaks for the wealthy” (Republicans are apparently still hoping for suicide!), does even today have an influence over people who do not look beyond the sound-bites on TV.

There are lots of older people here in MA that think that republican is rich, white, etc. I have a lot of cousins close to or older than 65 that do not believe me when I try to tell them that the dem party they think they are voting for is for baby killing( late term abortion) ignore me when I try to tell them HR 3200 willl kill them. I gave up.

My father passed away on 11/2/1988, my mother then voted for Dukasis, and not because she thought he was good, she liked Reagan, she told me then she was voting for my father that year.

Over the next 14 years or more, my mother loved George W Bush. Now she is in nursing home with Alzheimer”s and other complications, but in 2004 she was home and at her stage of that disease, we knew she was losing it, she could see through John Kerry and Edwards. She wanted to vote for GWB so we got her absentee ballot and helped her fill it out and sign. She hated Kerry & Edwards so much she wanted them off television and told me that stupid elderly people might think that GWB wants to take away SS & Medicare but she saw through those two and knew then that it was Kerry and Edwards that would do it.

If my mother could see that five years ago, why did so many older people vote for Obama? I saw he was full of it on the first time he spoke at 2004 DNC, it felt like a set up. I still think it is.

MA GOP is very thing but with tight schedule we could put up good fight with a statewide known figure and one who can raise funds or self finance

The guardians of history may just sit on their hands while Teddy gets lionized and a national hero. It shouldn’t be so difficult to tell stories of a hero’s heroism.

But then again I had an unfair advantage. I just finished watching Fox News report on him and they listed all of those plus a couple more. And they probably used the internet to look them up. And all have cause at least as much damage as they fixed, with interest on the damage still accumulating.

Oh, and yeah, I think he’s pretty much deserves to go there and has a one way ticket. Mary Jo will probably be waiting to punch his ticket before returning to her home.

Why did he get brain surgery?

Why not just a pain pill? He was in his 70′s after all! Brain surgery is very expensive!

Where was his pain pill for the headaches? And what good was his last few years anyway?

Paging Dr. Obama!
