72 year old McCain is too old for this demanding job

I’m shocked! Smearing a true war hero.

That’s right. A [color=#0000FF]TRUE[/color] war hero.

Maybe he ought to release his medical records.
What goes around comes around you know.

Plenty of young Fortune 500 CEOs. Ever heard of Apple, Microsoft, or Google? Some of those CEOs didn’t even graduate from college.

McSame and the Republicans can lie and spin all they want, but it won’t cut any ice with the grim reaper. If McSame gets into office, there’s a 50% chance he won’t live through the term. This would unquestionably weaken the USA, no sooner is he brought up to speed on little details like macro economics and how to use email, than he kicks the bucket. Leaving us with Miss Congeniality to try to defend us from Bin Laden, Hu, Putin, by what, serving them tea and cookies? You people are recklessly weakening and endangering our nation by even suggesting let alone defending this ludicrous candidacy.

Nice way to smear a true war hero.

Why doesn’t McCain send e-mail?

[quote=“Jonah Goldberg”]The reason he doesn’t send email is that he can’t use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

[/quote][/quote]

John McCain has never claimed he can’t use a keyboard. He regained flight status in the mid-70’s after undergoing physical therapy and flew jet aircraft which requires more manual dexterity and hand strength than typing and sending emails.

“She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious.”
– John McCain on why his wife wears the email pants in his family.

If he can’t even do the ‘one’ finger typing I can’t figure out what he’ll be doing in the oval office …

She’d surely be better than Clinton.

In the first month of Clinton’s first term terrorists bombed the WTC in NYC, killing six and injuring 1,000. Clinton treated this terrorist attack as a local police matter.

[quote=“Investors Business Daily”]All told, the Clinton administration had at least 10 chances to get bin Laden but repeatedly could not make the decision to act. Too many departments were involved, creating too much confusion, and no leader was strong enough to make the tough call. All were timid and overly concerned about repercussions if they failed.

The Clinton administration also allowed the selling of vital defense technology and secrets to China. Now the Chinese have silent submarines we can’t track.

Contrast this unwillingness to confront an enemy to the willingness of a more experienced, 62-year-old Harry Truman to defend Greece, beat the Soviet Union’s Berlin blockade and stop North Korea from taking over South Korea. Or to the resolve of Ronald Reagan, who in his 70s defeated the Soviet Union and freed 20 countries and 240 million people.[/quote]

I figure the POTUS doesn’t do his own typing.

And they caught the guys that did it without attacking half the Middle East and killing 100s of thousands of innocent people.

That’s good news actually, because then he can’t type in the nuclear attack launch codes either.

Ahhh…NO. Actuary statistics describe broad population trends. The models can’t be applied to an individual person, and neither is Mccain an “average” individual person since he’ll have access to the best medical facilities, minds, and technologies in the world. So you are being misleading here, that’s like me saying Obama could wind up behind bars while in office since about 1/3 of all black men are arrested for a felony at some time.

In a word, don’t be too disappointed if McCain lives well past the next 4 years.

All the reason for Hillary supporters to switch to McCain. A woman president, exactly what they want.

They didn’t catch the big fish when they had an opportunity to have him presented on a platter.

You must mean the Bush 1 invasion of Iraq, when they stopped short of Baghdad.
This idiot mistake left a lot of problems for subsequent presidents to try to mop up.

When was the last time George Bush even mentioned the still at-large ringleaders of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and Mullah Mohammed Omar?

Oh, come on, spook. You think they’re not looking for those assholes all the time? The fact is, Clinton was offered OBL on a platter and he rejected the offer.

No, on more than one occasion foreign government offered to hand over Bin laden to the US, but Clinton refused.

That’s total bullshit too. There was story on NewsMax.com that was discredited by the 9/11 commission report. Hannity likes to repeat it, but he’s a liar.

I don’t think we can say that for certain. Sure, Clinton told the 9/11 commission that it was bullshit… but, according to FactCheck.org:

[quote]Much of the controversy stems from claims that President Clinton made in a February 2002 speech and then retracted in his 2004 testimony to the 9/11 Commission. In the 2002 speech Clinton seems to admit that the Sudanese government offered to turn over bin Laden:

Now, we already now for certain that Clinton is a liar. He was disbarred for being a liar to the Court. So…

He should have known in 1996 that 9/11 would happen in 2001. I believe Clinton though. It’s not like he had a memo that said bin Laden determined to attack US or something.
