Well, his hatred of 2 out of the 3 is well documented.

Just funny these "no  socialist obama for president, spreading the wealth is evil liberalism" babies are crying about a $10 a month premium hike while their plans really go up $1000s a year on the dollar of taxpayers who will never get a benefit from the plan they are paying into.  But what do you expect when the world's largest volume Rx buyer refuses to even try to negotiate ....  Oh Look, a new episode of  Ow My Balls is on.

The only age group where McCain prevailed was 65 and over, and that by just a 10-percentage-point margin, 54 percent to 44 percent, the exit polls showed.

Normally, yes.  But seniors were the only age group to tilt toward McCain this election (http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Politics/2008/20081105-SenCitWereOnlyAge.htm).

Well, color me surprised.

They abandoned their concerns about social security... based upon their fear of the black man.  Wow.

I see. It's about all those old farts that voted for grampy instead of the socialist candidate while at the same time benefitting from socialized medicine. While voting this way does seem hypocritical, I'm sure the Q-Tips were more concerned about Obama's being a Negro than his being a commie. Even for the non-racists, their decision probably had a lot to do with their religion. Most evangelicals voted for McCain, and I suspect a large percentage of old people are evangelicals. After all, that's one segment of the population that's particularly concerned about trying to get into heaven.
