McCain's age is an election issue »
Posted By Aidenag 3 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsThe main reason why age matters is that the job of president is difficult to perform while dead. The average life expectancy for an American male is just shy of 75, and while the McCain campaign is fond of rolling out the senator's 96yr old mother they are less eager to mention that McCain's father died at 70 and grandfather died at 61.

Sen McCains age is no more an issue then Sen Obamas youth. The Sen is in good health, he is a strong, experienced leader. He has a clear mind, is free of drugs, cocaine etc. and he will do just fine. Obviously American men must be aging better then the English men. Only God knows when we will die so I would say Sen Mc Cain is in good hands. Democrats wil soon see how Sen McCain fairs against the young one in the Debates. They must be getting pretty desperate.

Obama, with 2 children at about 12 years old, is in his prime.
They wouldn't let McCain fly jets. Manditory retirement long before 75 in the military.
This guy is approaching senility. He will be another sock puppet for big oil, big military industrial complex, big neocon zionists, and won't be able to police the big money lobbiest and their presidential advisors, like who ever the next Rove will be.
It is insane to let a 75 year old run this incredibly complex government. Insane.

I don't see his age as being an issue.
I see his support of the war as being an issue.
I see his willingness to spend without taxing, as an issue.
I see his selling-out to chicken hawks unworthy to stand in front of a war-memorial, as an issue.
I see his fond farewell wave to the constitution as an issue.
I see his divorce as an issue, but there I am kinda being unfair. A lot of leading conservatives are divorced; who am I to judge?
Age; not so much.

Vote republican, vote to have the vice presidential nominee be the defacto president. Remind you of the current regime?
Vote repubican, vote to have a weak president controlled by neocon zionists, big oil, big health insurance, right wing billionaires, and the same crew that is running Cheney/Bush.
