CONS ARE STILL LIVING IN THE PAST

(h/t Atrios and Alicublog)

Ronald Reagan has been out of office for almost 22 years, an entire generation ago, but wingers like Hannity still genuflect in his honor. One sign of the impotence of the Noise Machine is the fact that most people under 30 don't much care about St. Ronnie and what he supposedly stands for. This is a reflection of a more general problem the conservatives and the GOP have - they just aren't very attractive to younger people and even conservative wunderkind Jonathan Krohn admits it:
“The Republican Party has done a horrible job for decades of reaching out to young people,” Krohn said. “It really has been the party of old white men."
