He’s so old that his young-enough-to-be-his-daughter trophy wife, for whom he dumped the woman who loyally waited for him while he was a POW, is old.

Many reasons not to vote for McCain but this isn’t one.
IBTZ.
They were married for 7 years after he returned. It didn’t workout. It happens. Liars in media would love to make it look like he came back and next day they divorced.
This isn’t a garbage dump.
I am no McCain fan at all, but this stuff is laughably stupid. I think time has moved on.
Old John McCain fine, How you?
If McCain can beat Obama I don’t care if he’s 10,000 years old.
I don’t like McCain. I have a thousand reasons not to like McCain.
In fact, the day Obama announces he will name General Petraeus as his Secretary of Defense, is the day I will probably decide to sit this one out.
My bottom line is keeping Petraeus in the fight until its done. If that means voting for McCain, because the other party can’t find any adults to run against him, then so be it.
John McCain is younger than most of the Supreme Court justices. That either argues that there should be age limit for Scotus justices, or it argues that John McCain’s age is just fine.
John McCain is as younger or younger than many members of the House and Senate. He’s also, obviously, healthier than the guy from S.Dakota who’s a virtual vegetable, but still in the Senate because a Republican governor would appoint a Pubby replacement if the guy were ruled incapacitated.
So, the bottom line.
John McCain’s age is all about politics.
McCain is so old that the place where he was born has caused the New York Times to question his eligibility to be president since it is no longer US Territory (Panama Canal Zone). I’ll pay this idiocy the exact same amount of credence!
There is still time to dump the John!
That would be my advice, but no one will listen to us! LOL
For me it comes down to one simple fact: He’s not Barack Hussein Obama
Just because I have to vote for McCain to stop Obama, doesn't mean I have to like it...
I speak from experience. I was married to a Navy SEAL. He wasn’t a POW...but the other stuff he did in Black Ops? I can vouch for that.
Let’s just say he wasn’t the man I married ten years later after he did some of the things he was expected to do for God, Family and Country. And I got off easy; he could’ve killed me in a heartbeat and I never would’ve known what hit me...and he’d still be walking around free today.
Yeah, yeah. It’s sounds SO dramatic; but I lived it. Let me just say that I am SO much happier being married to a Civilian for the past 15 years, LOL! (And I’m Retired Army!)
“Maybe a hundred!”
Quite a few marriages broke up after troops returned from Vietnam. I know of several, a cousin included. That is just how it was.
Oh please...Cindy is an intelligent and gracious woman. At least she doesn’t scowl at the world and be ungrateful for being successful like Michelle!
And with regard to McCain, I know that age has NOTHING to do with any of it. My father is going to be 83 next month. He is younger and healthier than most 40 year olds. His wife is younger than me too...so? She sincerely loves him and he loves her. He didn’t remarry until AFTER my mother died. But I don’t blame McCain for divorcing his wife. People change—especially after going through terrible hardships. Sometimes you cannot go back no matter how hard you try. It wasn’t meant to be, but he and his wife are happy now.
She’s 54, Chuckles. Don’t quit your day job.
