Any politician left pushing what the old cranks believe are just guaranteeing their replacement in coming elections. Maybe that isn't a democrat, but the next wave of republicans wont be buying your brand I assure you. Our youth have had enough of what the elderly think and now they are not part of our nations future. You had your time to make a difference and you came up short. Despite you being a perpetual fence sitter, so you can differ blame, your contributions are non existent because of it. It's not just you, we are all a little guilty of the same but the next generation has had enough and they will not only be voting in droves, they will be running for office and washing away the old man stink left by our politicians of today.
