Dems: Don't worry. Bush's base is dying off...

[GTaudiophile]

According to CNN:

VOTE BY AGE
BUSH KERRY

18-29 (17%) 42% 56%
30-44 (28%) 49% 48%
45-59 (30%) 47% 51%
60 and Older (24%) 51% 48%

 

[Mo0o]

wouldn't the younger ones just grow old and become bush supporters? as a nation we're also getting older i think.

Democrats often switch to Republicans as they age.

I thought I read something that the minorities will actually be the majority in a certain period of time so the republican party could be in trouble in the long run in border states.

 

[CPA]

If that is true, why is Bush up over 3M votes?

 

[Tylanner]

Young voters who were fed the Anti-war propaganda by Moore and others will probably stay liberal..

 

[Infohawk]

Unless Christian conservatives can evangelize hispanics I think they will be the end of the Republican dominance. But it's going to be a while until then. The red staters sure look like they are growing, not declining.

 

[ajf3]

God help the country when the do...

 

[raildogg]

shows you that the wise vote for the true leader.

Florida, AZ, NM, TX all red...all with very large Hispanic populations.

EDIT: Probably NV, too.

Yeah but how many of them are "legal" and can vote.

wow another totally false post by you.

The GOP has won the Presidency, increased its membership in the Senate and Congress and this is the end of its dominance??
I agree politics come in cycles but your totally wrong

Minorities vote overwhelmingly Democrat...

Again from CNN:

Bush Kerry

White (77%) 57% 42%

African-American (11%) 11% 89%

Latino (9%) 42% 55%

Asian (2%) 41% 59%

Other (1%) 40% 55%

 

[freakflag]

Latino (9%) 42% 55%

I wouldn't call that "overwhelming" by any stretch.

he said minorities, not latino specifically

Freakflag is correct, minorities have heavily voted for Kerry.

It just shows you that the republicans are perceived as White Rich Men by many people. It might be true.

 

[SuperTool]

The sh!t from Bush economic and foreign policies just hasn't hit the fan yet.
Iraq is not going anywhere.
Iran and NK aren't going anywhere but nuclear.
Baby boomer retirement is not going anywhere.
Screwed up medical system isn't going anywhere.
US wage uncompetiveness isn't going anywhere.
So the wall is still there, but we just haven't hit it yet.

Yes, but his post was in reference to my previous post wherein I referenced an earlier post by Infohawk with reference to Latinos.

EDIT: Also, I am Muther F-ing FAR from rich.

Thanks for clarifying, raildogg. But even still, that difference is quite a lot in an election.

Don't worry about wage competitiveness... If our jobs get outsourced, GW's plan will give you a tax credit to your local community college.

I can't believe he thinks the only people who are losing their jobs overseas, are people lacking education. Goes to show how he is so completely out of touch with middle class America.

People are more concerned about gay people fvcking each other than themselves getting fvcked with unemployment, high medical costs, etc. So you gotta let them get more hungry when faith alone won't sustain them.

The rising medical costs and the perceived lack of corresponding insurance benefits will be greatly reduced by TORT REFORM, not by creating a socialist healthcare system that amounts to nothing more than another bureaucracy with all the burdens and limitations inherent there in.

How do you figure that Blue Cross/Blue Shield is a "socialist healthcare system".

I am a young adult and I vote Republican. So don't count the young out of the equation yet. As I age, I project I will even become more conservative.

Can't we thank Clinton for the current "screwed up" healthcare environment?
