Who in their right mind would vote for that cranky old fossil McCain? He is almost a hundred years old!?
It's like throwing away your cellphone and getting a dial telephone with a cord that goes to the wall.
It's like bringing back the good ol' black and white TV with rabbit ears antenna, cooking up some "Jiffy Pop" on the stove top, and sitting down to watch "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners".
It's like going out and buying an Oldsmobile Roadmaster with no seat belts and a 400 cubic inch engine and snazzy tail fins then driving to the gas station and waiting for the three guys that work there to wash your windows, check your oil and fill 'er up.
The internet? Let's get rid of it and do it the old fasion way (send letters and go to the library)!
Get out those Elvis 45's and that record player and let's bring back the twist!
If McCain gets elected does that mean that Jack Benny and Bob Hope and Johnny Carson will come back too?
Will people start naming their kids "Biff" and "Cookie" again?
Will the temperature of the Earth go back to what is was in 1960 also?
Yeah. I agree with you 100%
I don’t get why people are voting for him. Its another disaster to the White House (another George Bush). He’s probably going to die soon anyways.
Wow, you’re not overexaggerating at all.
LOL
After reading that, who indeed? lol!!
Who else would you vote for? The Muslim terrorist, or the Clinton couple? Or would you vote that we take Ron Paul out of his straight jacket and put him in office?
Actually I still have some 45’s. The era your putting down had less violence, less drugs, less killing, less profanity and a whole lot less expensive to live in. Kids were able to be kids and could play outside in the neighborhoods, we could go to school without being offered cocaine, weed, ecstasy and without the fear of being shot! Hummmm maybe we need to vote for him, maybe this country would once again be productive and we could all be proud to call it home.
It appears there are several people, mostly supporters of Barak Obama, that seem to think that John McCain is incapable of serving as President simply because he is over 70 years old. I have noticed several people questioning his ability, mostly his mental ability, along the line that he is so old he therefore must be senile and thus we should not vote for him, selecting the much younger and less experienced Obama instead. I personally find this line of reasoning laughable, but for the sake of argument, let’s take it seriously for a moment. Let us say that the Obama supporters are correct and we should question the ability of anyone over 70 to think properly. Since age is the only criteria, let me ask this; could the democratic supporters of Obama live in the world they are espousing? If we were to call into question the judgment of people over 70 years old simply because of their age, should we not then also call into question the judgment and fitness for duty of the following people:
US Senator Daniel Akaka, D-HI, age 84
US Senator Ted Kennedy, D-MA, age 76
US Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV, age 91
US Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, age 75
US Senator Tom Harkin, D-IA, age 70
US Senator Daniel Inouye, D-HI, age 84
US Senator Herb Kohl, D-MN, age 73
US Senator Maurice Landrieu, D-LA, age 78
US Senator Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, age 84
US Senator Carl Levin, D-MI, age 74
US Senator Barbara Mikulski, D-MD, age 72
US Senator Harry Reid, D-NV, age 70
US Senator Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, age 71
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court, age 75
Stephen G. Breyer, Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court, age 70
Anthony M. Kennedy, Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court, age 72
Ruth Ann Minner, democratic Governor of Delaware, age 73
Under the world view of the Obama supporters, these people, due to their age, cannot be trusted with high office. They are OLD, and as such they must be senile, out of touch, and so forth. Why then are they not demanding these people, and many like them in state & local government, business, or academia to step down immediately? Or is it just republicans running for President that are unfit?
Taking this world view to its logical conclusion, should we not also call into question the fitness of anyone over 70? According to the US Census Bureau, about 12% of the population of the US is over 70. Therefore, since we cannot trust people over 70 to make important decisions, should we not then also remove from these people the right to vote? According to Obama supporters, old people cannot be trusted to think straight, right? Continuing on this line of reasoning, it would also be reasonable to take away anything that might involve important decisions from old people; we should not let them enter into contracts, provide testimony in court, or operate cars. Owning property, writing wills, making decisions about healthcare, or having a job should also be outlawed for people who happen to be over 70. After all, if just because someone is old we cannot trust them, this is the logical conclusion, is it not?
I think Obama supporters who hold the position that McCain is unsuitable to be President simply because of his age need to take a serious, hard look at what they are saying. They are saying that we should call into question ANYONE of this age. We have legal mechanisms in this country for dealing with people who, as a result of their age, injury, or whatever, are not mentally capable of performing as fully functioning citizens. If McCain truly is mentally impaired in some way, these legal mechanisms can be employed. But absent actual evidence of mental impairment, I think it is the height of ignorance to make a blanket declaration that old people are not capable of making decisions or serving as President of the United States of America.
