Quote from OldTrader:
What do you call it when you claim "all black girls are nappy headed 'hoes"? Now, what do you call it when you say "old age gives 'scenility(sp) and forgetfulness"? How about "women should not be allowed to vote"? Or "seniors shouldn't be allowed to run for President". You, and anyone like you, need to get past judging people based on race, creed, color, age. All people aren't aren't the same. Dementia doesn't just hit "seniors". I had a father with dementia in his 80s. He ate dinner at night with, amongst other, two people in their 40s who also had dementia. Try judging people on their merits.
We don't need a guy with the reflexes of a jet pilot for President. Nor do we need someone who can invent search algorithms. What we need is someone with ample experience that they can make wise decisions. Certainly that requirement does not rule out "seniors".
Frankly, I can't say that your post illustrates a great deal of wisdom. You think 35-45 would be a good age range for a President? Perhaps you should review the Presidency's of Clinton and Kennedy.....each of whom had an inability to keep their dick in their pants....and typical problem for younger guys. Clinton managed to impeached for lying about it.
Now, as it applies to your quoted article. I don't read any comment whatsoever about what beneficial effects to economic activity might come from some of McCain's proposals. Yet there is little doubt that there would be a benefit.
I'm all for reducing taxes, and reducing spending. I'm for anyone who wants to do it, at whatever age.
One thing I'm not for though, is bigger, more intrusive government, and higher tax rates. That's what you're gonna get with either Clinton or Obama.
I don't care for my choices especially. But when confronted with a couple of believers in big government on the one hand, and a "senior" who some courage and honor in his background, and some tax proposals that I like....I think I'll take the senior. And with it I'm gonna get the experience that neither of the other two have.

Don't forget, 28 year olds have seen and done everything, so they know the answer to all the worlds problems. You left that important fact out of your post.

You're exactly right. But tell me something....are they not above the law? LOL. I thought they were. I didn't think you could jail a president. I thought that's what the impeachment process was.
OldTrader
Heck I don't know. I just assumed they could be jailed if convicted of a crime, I thought that was why Ford pardoned Nixon.
Quote from Triple X:
I stand by what I said. Clinton was impeached for nonsense, by little minded men like you. McCain's war records are still sealed, and there are former military colleagues who allege improprities.
You are the sniping little piece of shit on this thread buddy, no one else. You don't know me, or what I have done, so stuff it.
I suppose you think Clinton getting a BJ from an intern is much worse than Bush starting his own personal war, and ruining the country in so short a time. You are a right wing fool.
OK, let's cut to the chase here: Let's see your link to something by "former military colleagues who allege imporpieties".
I guess you're aware that McCain said several decades ago that they broke him not long after he was captured. Yeah, he gave em some really critical information about things like the ship he was on. Geezuz...I bet they took advantage of that. Nonetheless, it againt the military code to say anything beyond name, rank, serial number and date of birth. But McCain has already admitted all of that years ago. I just wonder how many of us would have "broken" and given some essentially useless information under similar torture. That's why I asked if you had any war or POW experience.
So let's see this dirt you think you got.
OldTrader
PS By the way, Clinton was impeached for lying under oath as I recall...the same offense others have gone to jail for. Evidently you have no problem with lying under oath, because you continue to make light of it eh. Interesting revelation.

BTW, I admit Clinton was wrong to lie under oath, but he was ambushed nonetheless. IMO, they had no business asking him questions about Lewinsky in the first place, absolutely ridiculous. Why is this moron Bush not being questioned about how we got into this idiotic war of his? Former White House staff have alleged he and Cheney were talking about invading Iraq within weeks of taking office.
Clinton imperiled the country by placing himself in a position to be blackmailed. That is unforegivable for a president. In fact he may well have been blackmailed by the Chinese with the payoff being ballistic missile technology that brought the Chinese military technology ahead by an estimated 30 years. Because of Bill Clinton the Chinese can now reach N. A. with a nuke - thank you Bill Clinton!
He should have been drummed out of office by members of both parties with a kick in the backside as he went out the White House door - and to prison...

Sorry you get no points for avoiding the issue of blackmail. And demerit points for the straw man.Quote from Triple X:
What a farce, you republicans need to give it a rest. We are building aircraft and everything else in China now, the tech transfer under Bush has been FAR worse.
Oh and your BDS is showing (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

OK, I've gone through your links. These are complete crap...about what I expected. If you have something specific you want me to look at...post it.
For anyone interested, here's a link to a description by McCain of what took place as a POW.
