Democrats Proudly Plan to Play AGE Card in Toledo Tomorrow

I mean, he is old. What should they do? Lie about it and say he’s only 50? Age matters a lot. Does someone in those years really have what it takes to take on a job that is perhaps the most enduring? Do we want to trust someone w/ the nuclear football whose advisers are lobbyists for Georgia and who will in no uncertain terms declare war against Russia and thus bring back the draft? This guy is a warmonger. I’m sure he doesn’t like wars. But the fact remains that wars are all that he’s grown up in. He certainly doesn’t have the tempermanet… just ask his GOP buddies who say the idea of a McCain presidency sends fear through their “spines.”

Biden will be 66 years old on Nov 20th.
If Joe Biden was running for President, his age and health would be a question.
The senility angle?
I think that’s just people trying to explain why Candidate McCain acts nothing like Senator McCain.

Well maybe if he hadn’t chosen ol’ Joe Biden it might have had more of an impact.

This is not too bright on the Democrats’ part to go after McCain’s age. They’re insulting a large majority of “older voters” especially those 55 and older. Really DUMB!

It doesn’t matter that he’s so old, just that his ideas are so old, stale and outdated.
The world has changed and left the Republicans and McStale behind.
No wonder they’re running such a rancid campaign.

This is the shining new kind of politics from The One, Zerobameus, God of Nothingness.
If he cannot compete in substance, accomplishment, service, or record, He Can cheat, intimidate, and distort.

I well always picked an aged candidate over a liar candidate. McCain gets my vote. Maybe people should say Obama is a ‘*’ if it is ok to say McCain is too old’.
PRESIDENT O DAM A, NO WAY, NO HOW, NEVER
until llll freezes over.

I am in my 70′s; go to the fitness club every day and work out;eat right and see my doctor for checkups at least twice each year and take my meds plus run a small business. I take warm baths before going to bed so I drop right off to sleep.
I know my limitations. No one at the age of 72 has the right to undertake the physical and mental demands imposed upon the President of the USA. If elected, McCain would be cheating the country.
Anyone can guess from this posting that I have lived a full life but no longer have the sharp mental faculties I once had. McCain shares this trait also.
God bless the USA.

So B. O. will play the age card. What’s new? Add that to the race card, gender card, sexual orientation card, religion card… The dems will stop at nothing and stoop lower than snake poop if they think this kind of garbage will give them an edge, but don’t dare catch them on anything sensitive…

The group that has the biggest problem with McCain’s age are those in his age group of over 70. They get it and I trust them because they would know.

Obama is the one who is senile. Obama thinks he visited 57 States and has two more to go.

terry
Tyhe 57 number ws the number of Primary contests… Its already been explained maybe you missed the memo!

Oh get over it with the war in Iraq am tired of all the belly aching, after 9/11 everyone wanted some kind of pay back for what was done, now the way some Americans are acting you would feel most of them were vocal in not wanting any war.
Even the great VP Biden was an advocate for the war, but Obama will not mention that he would only make a fuss when he was running against Hillary that she wanted war, so why is he giving Biden a free pass on his stance?
Obama is nothing but a hypocrite and would say and do anything to win

toledo? not dayton?

Joe, The question is why are Obama’s supporters trying to stop the media from covering the story of Obama’s long term ties with, Ayers, an unrepentant domestic terrorist? Any time the story about Obama and his ties to Ayers comes up Obama supporters start the name calling, “swift boating” “smear tactics” “liars” etc. The story would probably go away if Obama would just refute any untruths that are contained in the stories instead of using what some call “economic terrorism” in an attempt to suppress the stories. Obama supporters are making thousands of calls to radio stations and thousands of e-mails to web sites that are covering the story in an attempt to stop the story from being covered. Obama’s lawyers have filed a criminal action complaint in the Dept of Justice in an attempt to shut down an ad about the Obama Ayers relationship. What is most troubling about this is that Obama’s reaction to this story may be a preview of how Obama would run the Dept of Justice. Free speech rights? hmmm maybe not how Obama views how the world “should be” if Obama becomes President. Given the fact Obama has such a thin resume Obama is touting his good judgment as one of the main reasons he would make a good President. Obama’s relationship to Ayers makes one question Obama’s good judgment so the story is a valid one and the people have a right to know the truth about Obama’s relationship to Ayers. Long after Obama became involved with Ayers, Obama knew that Ayers was an unapologetic terrorist who,was still telling the New York Times he regretted only failing to carry out more attacks — and that America still “makes me want to puke”?

Just so I’ve got the right wing meme down.
Obama emailing his supporters and telling them to call into complain to WGN radio station about Stanley Kurtz is Stalinist.
John McCain having police throw a older woman out of public town hall he held last month for holding a McCain = Bush sign, well that’s just hunky dorry

Under an Obama regime people will lose
1st Amendment rights. He may actually jail people that critize him.
He voted for wire-tapping.
Who knows what he will do to old people, if in his view they cannot
contribute to society.
But really, Obama has some nerve bringing up age since he picked a 35 year Washington insider to protect him.

We know you think it’s somehow relevant that, in 18 months of campaigning, Obama once said fifty instead of forty. We get it. He erred. Maybe he meant territories, maybe he was tired. He doesn’t know how many states there are? Yeah, good luck with that argument.
Now, given that this is so important to you, why are you voting for a candidate who said not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in one week that there is a country called Czechoslovakia? Who claimed he’d “Veto every beer.” Who has made so many gaffes on policy that his advisers have actually stated: “John McCain was not speaking for the McCain campaign.” Who lied directly to Tim Russert’s face, denying he ever said, “I don’t know that much about the economy,” when Russert had the quote right in front of him. Well?

I hope Obama wins. I can’t wait to have Rev Wright in the white house as his spiritual adviser.

Making fun of the largest and most reliable voting group is about as smart
as a fake opossum presidential seal.
I’m sure Paris would ask–who is that wrinkly white-haired dude Obama picked for VP?

Obama will make the best POTUS America has ever seen!

I don’t think it’s the right thing to do to put McCain’s age into the mix, but I do think it’s valid to put his mental status in for evaluation by the American people. The man has made enough gaffes and blunders in this campaign that in any election cycle before this one his party would have run him out of town on a rail. We have soldiers coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan from the first, second and third tour with PTSD and other debilitating effects. If they are so disturbed by the happenings there, then why is it that McCain is not mentally disturbed after 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton? Add to that possibility his legendary temper that is on a hair trigger and does this really sound like a guy that America needs in charge of our entire nation. I think that the fact that John Mc will not let his records be seen tells the tale. Actions speak louder than words John.

When the mccain camp / pro republicans cant win a true debate they go dirty using other names and writing racist comments..
You Dirty dirty people !!!

This coincides with a Democratic convention week where speakers are trotting out all sorts of senility-conjuring language when describing the GOP nominee: “old,” “tired,” “asleep at the switch,” and “kindly Old Doc McCain.”

A review of New York Times archives from 1990 and 1991 shows that Senator John McCain was a subject of a major financial and bank scandal, known as the “Savings and Loan Scandal”, that dominated news coverage of the US Congress during that period.

“Ryan C, It is not free speech when you try to prevent another person from expressing their views. Using “economic terrorism” to stop a radio station from trying to report to the public about Obama’s long term relationship to Ayers You shout down the hateful.”
Boycotts and stating complaints are economic terrorism? You’re joking right?
“What you are really saying is that any speech that you view as “hateful” should be suppressed.”
I think any group of people has the right to make their voice heard but no one has the right to the views being expressed unanswered.
“If this is what we can expect from Obama should he become President, than everyone, even liberals, should be pretty fearful about what a President Obama would mean to free speech.”
LOL. Obama supporters exercising their free speech rights in response to smears is a fearful example of the future of our country!
“As to taking legal action against the Obama Ayers ad. It is a smoke screen to say it is because the ad was produced illegally. ”
IOW, the ad and group are illegal and that’s fine because they are Republicans.

I congratulate Barack Obama Campaign. It is about time after all the John McCain “Rove Playbook Attacks” that mainly were lies or implied some highly questionable suggestive message. Confirmed so by Fact Check.
Now I wait to see if Obama finally starts attacking!! I know he usually prefers not to, but has found himself being in more a defensive role. He would not attack first. Hope he now goes on the attack. Karl Rove is being paid a high consultant fee by Republican Party to get rid of/damage Barack Obama.
Go Obama!!

Seems with the progressive left that womanhood and age are OK to mock and disparage, but being black is not.

Amazing that Democrats should be so myopic about their own candidates.
Joe Biden has been in the Senate since John McCain was a POW in Viet Nam.
Doesn’t exactly make the VP candidate a spring chicken.
Should Joe Biden ever make it to a second term, he would be older than John McCain is today if he had to assume the office of President.
Democrats…they live in their own, little world.
Too bad it’s not ours…

This is really, really not smart of the Obama campaign. They’re trying to win over Hillary’s voters, right? And who won the allegiance of the older voters? Not Mr. Obama.
I, personally, have taken great umbrage to all the references to John McCain’s age: he’s only got two years on me and, believe me, I don’t consider myself old.
If I’m offended, there’s every reason to believe that numerous other mature voters are, also.

Hype Bites, I liked your post: “Seems with the progressive left that womanhood and age are OK to mock and disparage, but being black is not.”

This is beyond disgusting. I thought Democrats were the champions of all races, creeds, sexual orientations and ages. Don’t they know you’re not allowed to discriminate against a job applicant because of age?
Never mind that they’re going to turn off much of Hillary’s demographic, what they’re doing is offensive and truly wrong.

Obama should never call anyone on age. Not with his memory.
