(111,302 posts)except the decreased equity in their houses and Social Security. There will be plenty of angry white guys then.
Of course, most of them will be angry at the Republicans who robbed them of wages and benefits all their lives.

They'll repeat their lies until they will be considered the truth by these 'angry white men' retiring broke.
We know their MO don't we.
saved me the post ...
As with what we are dealing with now, as with bizarely, 9-11 ...
It will be blamed on the liberal ...

(11,541 posts)I'm 59, white, and angry at Republicans.
What's that?

*cough*
Maybe you haven't noticed chuckles, but... take a look at Bloviatefest down in Tampa. Those people are 59 and white, too. I hate to break it to you, but folks in your demographic aren't especially strong for democrats. This is why republicans consider them "the base."
So. Good for you. Doesn't change the point.
Amonester
(11,541 posts)Ok, I get it, you're angry.
I thought all Dems welcomed people of all ages...
From your post, looks like I generalized that also.
Bye.

(1,820 posts)you have to understand demographics,
you have to understand the difference between the amount of the wage and its purchasing power,
the difference between a private commodity and a public good,
between income and wealth.
And if you understand politics in relation to those things, you have no trouble seeing that the Republicans have nothing to offer but more of the same decline.
A conservative mob, rest assured, is almost always manufactured.
Real discontent was behind the liberal OWS. They had a case.
No rest for the wicked.
No sympathy for the wealthy.
