McCain's age

[Bobskunk]

Utilitarian Society

Jensieblue,
Perhaps we should really get serious about these old people hanging around, taking up all of our taxes with medicare and social security. They seem to serve no purpose in our utilitarian society, so maybe we should find a humane way to put them down. Didn't you say yourself that you were unemployable? I still think you are worthwhile, and should not be judged on your output to society. Hopefully, you will become a little less bitter, and allow you capacity to love to be your contribution to the world.

I hope that when you are older, you have some people who hold you in higher regard than you have shown others.

I value McCain's experience, and he is old enough to have a track record of integrity and bravery.

Bob: ever heard of Ronald Reagan?

I remember his bulb burned out in his second term.

There was a good one of Reagan on his toy train in the White House that really illustrated LS's point, but I can't find it readily. And I am getting caught up in watching the other clips.

I am impressed with McCain's energy and vitality. I wouldn't last 3 days on the campaign trail. Maybe less. Campaigners get punch drunk, everything becomes a blur, having to run, run, run, always repeating the same things to the same crowds.

The problem: one campaign year or one White House year = five normal years, so one term = over 20 years of aging.

as lucifersam said, he was in the early stages of dementia in his latter second term....job description fits a person in their 50s/60s better.

I think we should just have a dual between the two.

Give 'em both a gun/put them in a boxing ring/have them compete in a battle of wits(though that wouldn't be a hard one to win).

I mean seriously, they should settle this like men.

What a bunch of crap!!!!!!

What a bunch of crap!!!!!!

Which part? Ronnie's state late in his second term or the other part of Bob's post (job description age range)? Or both?

Both. There is no factual proof of either. Talk about empty rhetoric!!!

Andy, forgive the mean-spirited attacks on an American Icon. It is a shame that people cannot talk issues but must resort to vicious, personal attacks.
