I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. If I still have time, I might add, Mr. Trewhitt, I might add that it was Seneca or it was Cicero, I don't know which, that said if it was not for the elders correcting the mistakes of the young, there would be no state. -- Ronald Wilson Reagan

In this case, McCain needs to say, "To quote a favorite President of Mr. Obama and myself,
I'm not going to speak against my opponents youth and inexperience...."
That's a bad paraphrase of the Reagan quote, but you get the idea.

Yes, he did. I noticed that as soon as Obama said it and told my husband that it was a dig.
To: JustaDumbBlonde
Maybe McCain should start referring to Obama as a “credit to his race” out on his stump speeches.
Oh wait, I think Joe Biden already did that.

Well, since Obama is raising the issue, maybe McCain can respond with this, “Barack Hussein Obama has spent 40% of his life worshiping in a mosque. Isn’t it nice that the USA is so tolerant of his Muslim background?”

I really don’t want to give control of my country to the next generation. Socialist propaganda and indoctrination through the public education system has wreaked havoc on America.
Message to those younger than me: Get married, have kids (lots), and keep them the heck away from the NEA.

John S. McCain, III was serving his country as a naval officer, before Mr. Obama was even born conceived.

“We’re (the Democrats) are the party of tomorrow.”
They’ve been saying this for the last 40 years. Their ideas are the same too: socialism and surrender. But maybe this new generation is dumb enough to buy it. God help us all.

It is very heartening to see us all going FOR McCain ....

And McCain was a resident of the Hanoi Hilton while Barack was attending that so-called “secular madrassah” in Indonesia.

NOW...THAT would be a COMEBACK from McCain..... "Well...my friend, Barack Obama, you were a student studying in a madrassah in Indonesia when I was a prisoner of war in the Hanoi Hilton. Seems as though you still have not learned much of our ways here in the U.S. either, i.e. about freedom, and how to expand it, not obliterate it!"

To: Seajay
It is very heartening to see us all going FOR McCain .... Not me. The 'age card' is not a card, it's a real consideration, especially with the senility McCain has already shown (..."the President of Germany, Putin"...) combined with his horrible judgment on the issues, and whatever psychological damage is now innate due to his torture in captivity.
McCain up against Obama is going to be a real route. Unfortunately, it won't be the last of McCain. Either Obama will appoint him to some cabinet position or McCain will lead the effort to 'cross party lines' in Congress, and author major 'compromise' legislation for Obama to sign.
