Those Pundits on MSNBC...sure love Obama's stuff about "Old People!" Even Bill Clinton has joined
the Fray....He's saying he can't make Hillary "younger."

What is it that both Dems and Repugs are going after "Old People?" And what is "Old" today? Who is it that both parties are targeting with their message?

And, aren't those folks that are pals of Matthews on his "Hardball Show" kind of "Old?" At least they don't seem to be Obama's age.. to me...

Anyone have any guess about what the STRATEGY IS that both DEMS & REPUGS HATE OLD...yet both parties seem to have alot of "Older Looking" candidates running for President in '08. If they dye their hair and work out would that make a difference? I've seen Liddy Dole and she looks like 40 something with her work. Should we all have "work" done so that we don't appear "old." Sheesh...what's up with this?

2. So should we all go after our Parents and Grannies/Grandpa's because they are "Old?"
It's weird to have folks who seem old to me going after their parents and relatives like they do on the Cables and Networks now that Hillary and Obama's age seem to be in contention. And, then..we know that Obama went after Boomers...but Bill Clinton calling his wife "older?" What kind of crap is that?

3. Old is the new black
And being disabled is the new black black black.

Comics can make fun of ya if you are crippled.

Without having to be crippled themselves.

8. You might be on to something with how times are a-changing....
and the "Reality Shows" and "Victim Shows" and "Missing White Women"...rapes, murders, child abuse. Bring it "Mainstream" and it takes the "edge" of the horror and the consequences in sorrow and suffering.

The Anti-Victim or "Victim" Culture...it can be spun both ways by our clever media...and the Think Tanks, Corporate Drug Companies (Viagra and Sexual Virus Drugs) and Lobbyists who run them.

7. Maybe that's the Goal...Have you seen the "Viva Viagra" Commercial with Elvis in Las Vegas?
Yep...just find Liddy Dole and Nancy's (yes she had eye and neck lifts) Cosmetic Surgeon along with most of the Males in House & Senate and you will be fighting for the Youth Vote, TOO!

Who wants to look like an "old bag" when the YOUTH OF AMERICA want you to PAY, PAY, PAY!
