    Think it would be a terrible mistake if he where elected pres. I admire him for what he's been through in life but think he is truly to old to be pres.

  • How about respect?

    That kind of disrespect is why some people question the ability of young people to cast a thoughtful, intelligent vote.

    "Old man McCain" as you call him, answered his country's call to war. Whether you agree with Vietnam or Iraq, he chose to do what he felt was in best interest of America. He endured 5 years in POW camp, when Geneva convention meant nothing. How about reading his biography? Have you put your life on the line for something you felt would benefit anyone other than yourself? Also, many were drafted and had no choice.

    McCain probably has more stamina, is healthier, and has 10X the brain capacity you demonstrate.

    If you want older people to respect your opinions, then show some respect. God willing, you will be old some day yourself. I know all "youth" are not as disrespectful as you, because my sons were raised to respect, even if they disagree, they are respectful, and their children are being raised to show the same.

    Grow up.

    John McCain is better than Obama or Hillary, though Romney by far was my first pick before he dropped out. Obama and Hillary are too far left for my liking. McCain is a moderate, not a liberal.

    McCain does not put up with corruption in the government and once ended up in the office of Donald Rumsfeld confronting him about a pork barell spending bill that included the Air Force and Boeing. He is known for not going lightly on people involved with corruption and will get in their face about it.

    Older people tend to be wiser and more experienced than the young and inexperienced, and I doubt I need to say who I mean. McCain served the United States of America and a war and showed an untold amount of patriotism and loyalty when her refused to return to the United States until his comrades went back first.

    Yes he is a moderate which is what this country needs right now. Someone that can see both sides and use common sense. He also has the experience to get things done. I have heard the others say we need change and that seems to be their mantra but I have not heard how they plan to make these changes and pay for them. Promises and talk are cheap, keeping them is the problem!

    I don't even know what his positions are. He lied about Romney not supporting the war so who is to say that McCain is honest on his own opinions. We would be better off with Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney, too bad they dropped out.

    I've called him the "albino rino"

    I've made old man jokes about him farting dust and the like.

    And all that's fun, but to be honest if it's him and Hillary, the old man gets my vote.
