Cute.
I do not care for JM but the agism is disgusting.

As another poster commented on another post like this, just the fact that the left has begun to focus on such a trivial arguing point is indicative of what sort of trouble the ol’ S.S. Treason (the left) is in with its two unelectable candidates.

What? in DOG years or human years?

[I posted this before McCain had the nomination sewn up. It shouldn't be any surprise that McCain's age will be the subject of the Dem attacks until the election.]

If McCain does get the GOP nomination and Obama the Dem nomination, some ads will write themselves.

For example:

It is called the Grand Old Party for a good reason.

John McCain is the best the GOP could find. The GOP stands for Grand Old Party.

Ronald Reagan may have put the C in Conservative, but John McCain will put the O in Grand Old Party.

[If Obama is the nominee]
The Grand Old Party has nominated a candidate from the past; the Democratic Party has nominated a candidate who looks to the future.

The O in Obama stands for Optimism. The O in GOP stands for Grand Old Party.

Right, someone should do the legwork to see if the girl announcer's grandfather is really younger than McCain. I doubt it unless her mother had her at 16 or she herself is 12 but just sounds 20. Nowadays, most kids grow up without any grandparents because Mom and Dad didn't get it together until their mid 30’s or 40’s, so that's a non-issue, because no one can relate.

A caller to el Rushbo’s show yesterday suggested that we give McKain to the Democrats, and that we Pubbies choose a new candidate.

Awesome idea grasshopper! I’m in! But how we gonna go about getting this done?

McCain’s age only matters against Obama. There’s no way America will vote for an angry bitch over an angry son-of-a-bitch. ;)

Seems like that’s where the Dems have decided to concentrate their attack...his age. I guess they haven’t realized that probably one of the larger demographics of consistent voters are older people. They’re not like college kids who get all enthused about a campaign and then not show up at the polls. My prediction, they’ll drop the age criticism pretty darn quick when they realize it will work against them in the GE. (it might work for them with the far left loonies, but not with the general population.)
I heard a fascinating statistic this morning that said in the vast majority of marriages in the US, one spouse would live to be at least 85...so there’s a lot of older voters who will be turned off by making a big deal of John’s age.

Age and treachery will always oversome youth and...aw nevermind!

At the time of McCain’s birth, the bestselling record in the country was “Until the Real Thing Comes Along” (Decca Records #809) by Andy Kirk and His Clouds of Joy. This typical mid-30’s “sweet” tune was Andy’s theme song as well as his biggest hit.

[Brandonmark]

You can’t say anything negative about Obama without being called racist or about Hillary because that’s sexist, but guess there is no problem among dems saying that someone’s age should disqualify them.

BTW, seems like the Pope is having pretty good trip in US and he’s 10 years older.

I think the age thing may be important. Look how fast the Presidency aged Clinton and Bush. And they are a heckuva lot younger than McCain is now.

Is one of the presidential candidates too Black? He is 50% more Black than I am. Or, if your preference is toward prejudice against Whites, he's 50% too White.

Is one of the presidential candidates too X chromosome rich? This candidate has 2.2% more X chromosomes than I have. This is an even greater excess of X chromosomes than the % of excess possessed by people with Klinefelters Syndrome. Those suffering from Klinefelters frequently display deficits in executive functions. Should someone with possible executive difficulties be President?

Silly prejudices? Yes. But not sillier than a prejudice against age, which apparently is acceptable to liberals.
