it's not that he is too old....
although he does look like he's about 100
it's that he's a "Bob Dole retread"
John McCain (a great American like Bob Dole) would get his ass kicked in Nov
lets not make it easy for the socialist party, thats what CNN, NBC, and CBS already do.
======================================================================
Three thoughts on this:
(1) McCain might indeed get his ass kicked. But the ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY deserves to have its ass kicked for the ghastly mess they got the country into. They aren't conservative, they borrow and squander and run the debt up and up, buggering the dollar, which is worth less ands less. For the second time since Eisenhower said it, they violated his eminently professional statement that the US should never get involved in any land war in Asia. They have made the country despised and mistrusted abroad. McCain is the best of a rather mediocre bunch. McCain's claim to fame was he was bombing Vietnam and was shot down and incarcerated, and much to his credit, refused to be sent home early as special treatment. Huckabee is a Baptist preacher, please. Romney is the Mormon version of the Wendell Wilke of his time, and Giulani is a tired old hack who has surrounded himself with despised NeoCons. Paul is in favor of ending the war, which is great, but the rest of his ideas belong somewhere in the 1840's.
(2) The Democrats are NOT any sort of Socialist anything. The basic tenet of Socialism is thet the means of production should be controlled by the state. The idea that the Democrats are socialists exists in the mind of Rush, who is paid to harbor it and to infect the squishy-minded.
(3) Bob Dole may have been a great American when he fought in WWII, but in his latter years, he was th4 puppet of Archer Daniels Midland. Even as we speak, he lives in a super luxurious condo in Bal Harbour, which he bought from an ADM Exec for about twenty cents on the dollar of what is was really worth. And the media are largely unbiased, except for FOX, they merely are always on the lookout for sensationalism and scandals of the sort that Republicans like Tom DeLay was famous for.
