A lot of Republicans have realized that the party is made up of a disproportionate number of people over the age of 55. So if you are a Limbaugh-Fox fan in other words a g####r do you think you will live past 2020 and guarantee a Republican majority?? The mortality rate for people over the age of 65 is quite high but will Medicare and intensive care be able to keep Republicans alive?

Will you be alive in 2016 and 2020?? Heres a link..GOP Trying To Keep Elderly Voting Base Alive Until November | Video | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

I guess if you are over age 75 or so you don't look much past 2020. That makes sense doesn't it?

Do you think Republicans can continue to rely on voters that are over age 55? By 2020 those voters might be over age 60. What do you think?

Ironic that so many Tea Partiers are on Social Security and drive "free" Obama-scooters paid by Medicare.

Today's 55 year old will be 63 in 2020. Today's 20 year old will be 27 in 2020. WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

What do I care what a political party thinks is a "reliable demographic"? The only demographic in the entire universe that matters is the individual.

The fact is, as current generations age and become more mature, they will become more and more immune to liberal nonsense. Now, whether the GOP will become actually conservative or quasi-libertarian in the future, how can anyone know?

We on the right have hopes the GOP will stop being quasi-Democrat and actually become a party of the Constitution and sanity again, but, again, who knows the future? Not you and not me.

Harrier supports the Tea Party principles of small, constitutionally limited government, lower taxes, and government accountability.

Harrier will be 43 in 2020.

!!!THREAD FAIL ALERT!!! -

OP, your strawman is pathetic.

There are plenty of young people like Harrier who will continue to strive for attaining the Tea Party objectives.

As for Harrier thinking about mortality - he has thought for some time that he will die before age 40.

Harrier will let you know in four years weather he is still alive.
