Do Senior Citizens Believe Harry Reid's Lies?

I was talking to a senior citizen, age 80+, the other day and we began to talk and the talk turned to social security. The senior citizen talked from the Harry Reid/Democrat playbook. He stated that Sharron Angle wanted to steal social security away from senior citizens and he was afraid that there would be no more social security if the GOP was elected.
I talked to him about social security and that the GOP would not stop social security payments to seniors and the disabled. I explained the privatization plan to him. I'm not sure he believed me about the GOP plan.
We then got to talking about Yucca Mountain. He said that people would stop coming to Las Vegas if Yucca opened. This is Harry Reid's belief and scare tactic. People are not going to stop coming to Vegas if Yucca opens. Nevada has tested nuclear bombs north of Las Vegas above ground at the Nevada Test Site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Test_Site But people still keep coming to Las Vegas.
So, is Harry Reid and his packs of lies working on senior citizens? I only have the 1 person sample, but it was shocking listening to him. I have more confidence in other seniors, but after talking to this gentleman, I am not so sure.
