The older you are, the more likely you are to be conservative.
The older you are, the more likely you are to listen to the radio.
Baby Boomers.
The older you are, the more likely you are to be live and let live.
The older you are, the more likely to value other's opinions.
Some grow wiser as they grow older, some just grow a shell.
An interesting side note about this. While you are more likely to be conservative when you are older, it's not because you have become more conservative than you were when you were younger. The world is almost always becoming more liberal as things change, the thing is that people don't change as much as the world around them does. So yes, they appear more conservative as they are older... but it's only because they haven't kept up. They've still become more liberal themselves.

To put this into scientific perspective, there were scientists who went to their graves claiming Einstein was a fraud and a liar. His relativity could not be true. Then Einstein went to his own grave claiming Max Born was wrong. His quantum mechanics could not be true!
And at the level of the rest of us, your grandpa still can't use email or a cell phone properly.
Politics is little different.
