When people get really old and are in nursing homes, they do lose some of their sharpness and visual acuteness(?), they can be easily confused by a f**ked-up ballot form like they used in Dade and Broward County, Florida. But they still have a right to have their votes accurately counted, some of them fought in WW2, for chrisakes Fintstone. Have a little respect.

Do you remember 2000?? I know that it was a long time ago. Pat Buchanon himself, (never a big Gore supporter), said that "those are not my votes". In the precincts where P.B. got a disproportionate amount of "support", he had scored ~2% 4 yrs. earlier. Those senior citizen enclaves were heavily Jewish, one news reporter said that, "My parents live in Sunshine City, (one of the big Buchanon hotspots), and I can tell you that Yassar Afafat would have gotten more votes that Pat Buchanon".

Yes, I remember 2000. That was the year that the democratic hacks claimed that GW was going to do away with senior citizen's Social Security and keep them from getting their medicine. One ad had Bush pushing seniors in wheelchairs off a cliff.

Since when did "helping senior citizens vote" include helping them decide who to vote for or not vote for? Call it what it is. It is certainly telling that democrats target those who "lose some of their sharpness" and "can be easily confused." It is sad that the democrats prey on the fears of the elderly and rely on the votes of those that they define as having lost "their sharpness."

A lot of elders that I know did indeed support Buchanon (who liked Bush even less than he did Gore). Of course they were pefectly competent to vote without assistance.
