9. Old white here. Please don't slap me around with that broad brush.

Matter of fact, I live in Florida, and was contacted by PPP, and answered all questions concerning Romney/GOP negatively.
There were also a lot of questions feeling out who I would support in 2016 - Hillary or Elizabeth Warren.
Anyway, since I have a lot of friends and neighbors who are also old and white, I can assure you we all do not think the same.
In fact, with the internet, I am starting to believe dividing us all up by age groups is becoming a bit pointless.
Or slapping people around by state, when their next door neighbor is on the other end of the political spectrum.
Any time I read a sentence that states all old whites or all Floridians or all atheists or whatever, I sort of roll my eyes. I am trying to teach my 17 YO grandson not to do that; I told him it makes his opinions sound immature.
