The tax cliff we’re all about to plunge over should convince seniors to vote the Democrats out in November, out of the White House and out of the Senate—provided they hear about the cliff in time. Seniors vote. Very reliably.
The young prattle. Seniors vote. It has ever been thus. And no party, in the midst of a high-unemployment recession (whatever the corrupt federal government chooses to call it this month) has ever done what the Democrats are about to do on Jan. 1, 2013: raise the capital gains tax from 15 percent to 23.5 percent and the dividend tax from 15 percent to 43.4 percent.
Seniors, after all, use both dividends and capital gains to pay their retirement expenses. Sometimes, most times, very modest 401K returns. We’re not talking fancy restaurants, just the difference between eating chicken and cat food. So seniors, even the liberal ones, will have every incentive to hold their noses and vote for Romney, and throw out dour Harry Reid and his mendacious crew.
Good riddance.

Now, wait just a dad-burn minute. Some of that cat food is pretty damn good.

On the other hand seniors are more prone to vote for a wrong person. I should know…
Only if you consider conservatives the wrong person. That’s the way seniors tend to vote, as you would expect them to do.
