While there are some things we might not see eye-to-eye on, this is a CATO institute and Reason magazine sourced article. in any other time, this would be locked in a microsecond and the poster may even get a pizza for their efforts, primary season does not make it alright.
These are well known right-wing libertarian organizations. I searched for awhile and could not find the time period it was done in or any other polling methodology you would expect to accompany a study like this.
This article plays off a well-known libertarian/republican adage:
"If you are young and not liberal, you don't have a heart. If your old and not republican, you don't have a brain."

I know since I've heard my wingnut mother-in-law say it dozens of times.

Any "study" from these particular organizations has zero validity, especially since they have been known to take creative liberties with published information. Both deny global warming. Both have attacked the poor on dozens of occasions.
