Working in a medical facility I can tell you this:
"There are 81 year olds that are relatively bright, but the bulk of them are not!"

Did you ever watch McCain in his speeches and wonder why he smiles at the wrong times? It's unreal!

The President of the USA is an fraightening job because it is physically and mentally exhausting. Every president ages about 8 (or more) years during his 4-year term. I doubt there is a more difficult job in the world than the job of being the President of USA.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I think actually fighting the wars for the President is much more difficult.

The June 11 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll:
Obama leads McCain among registered voters, 47 to 41 percent.

That proves that McCain is not just another Bush, otherwise he should be around 28 percent.

McCain is not like Bush, he doesn't support torture of prisoners.

Two problems I have with McCain
1) he is too old

2) his assertion that we will continue that war in Iraq for another 100 years!

That's the kind of demagoguery that I am supposedly doing.

I beg to differ - McCain voted against the anti-torture amendment:
Senator McCain rightly insists that the U.S. may not (i) torture; (ii) engage in cruel treatment prohibited by Common Article 3; or (iii) engage in conduct that shocks the conscience, under the McCain Amendment. He also insists that waterboarding violates each of these legal restrictions, that the Bush Administration's legal analysis has been dishonest and flatly wrong, and that we need "a good faith interpretation of the statutes that guide what is permissible in the CIA program."

The Feinstein Amendment would have accomplished all of these objectives, but Senator McCain voted against it, presumably because he wishes that the CIA be permitted to continue the use of other of its enhanced techniques, apart from waterboarding. Those techniques are reported to include stress positions, hypothermia, threats to the detainee and his family, severe sleep deprivation, and severe sensory deprivation. Senator McCain has not explained which of these he thinks are not torture and cruel treatment, nor which he would wish to preserve for use by the CIA. But if the President does as he has promised and follows Senator McCain's lead by vetoing this bill, the CIA will continue to assert the right to use all of these techniques -- and possibly waterboarding, as well.
Imagine a world without hypotheticals....

Presidential Campaign Slogan: "If elected, I will win."

Well, Pat is gone, but there are others like Comedy Central's Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, or Bill O'Reilly from Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. They could be good replacements for John McCain if his senior moments get too numerous.
Never argue with idiots, they'll just bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

One ad shows selected portions of McCain's comments that a 100-year U.S. presence in Iraq would be "fine with me." The ad uses dramatic images of war and violence, and omits any mention that McCain was speaking of a peaceful presence like that in Japan or Korea.
One difference between Iraq and Korea is that the Koreans have not been at war for the past 5,000 years, and the arabs have. I don't see that the Iraq government nor any of the surrounding nations will let us occupy Iraq for 100 years.
