Young Voters Say McCain's Age is No Big Deal

Politics – Running for president is "no old man's job" says Jack Murtha (D). Well, tell that to young voters who, believe it or not, disagree with 75 year old congressman Murtha.

"Twenty-one year old Columbia University student Allison Yang told me, "With health care being so great and the life expectancy being so long, I don't think young voters are as concerned with having older politicians."

Fellow student Bradley Blackburn said, "Our grandparents are living well into their 80's and 90's so why can't someone who is mentally sharp and physically strong into their 70's be elected?"

Because he's not mentally sharp.

"Because he's not mentally sharp."

I agree: Murky Murtha sure isn't.

I don't think asking the Young Republicans represents a balanced survey. ;)

I love it....Liberals are always crying discrimination at every turn.

Out of the other side of their mouth they are guiilty of age discrimination.

Typical Liberal hypocrisy.

I think you miss the point...

I love it anytime liberals show their true colors and thus destroy their moral highground. (that they had in the own minds anyway)

Moral Highground. What bs. You cons all seem to think that you have that one covered. With all the pedos and gay people you elect, I'd say you are the ones that are the hypocrties.

You must be dizzy from all that spinning you do Dave.

What a load of crap. Somehow this absolves people for voting for criminals? I guess so, otherwise the 65 million genetic defects that voted for Bush in 2004 would all be on the hook for voting for a traitor.

"ahh.. but our pedos get ousted when discovered "

Don't sugarcoat. Your pedos get ousted AFTER you're caught red-handed hiding their disgusting behavior. Unlike Filthy Foley (whose sleazy and disgraceful come-ons were totally unwelcome) Barney Frank had a CONSENSUAL relationship with a teenager who was of legal age and he wasn't diddling himself on the taxpayer's dime when he should've have been WORKING (like FOLEY did). You nutjobs love to lie and twist facts to suit your own sick and twisted version of reality, don't you?

fact...Frank had sex with a teen.consensual or not IT WAS WRONG.had this been a a republican senator with a 21y/o girl and the girl drugged said senator in order to blackmail him you would still be going after said republican for taking advantage of someone so young.frank DID take advantage of his position as a superior and elder.he was not removed from position.

foley..talked dirty with someone who was pulling a prank on him.after the fact we find out the boys made first contact.all frank did was talk a little dirty to them.he was removed office before the ink was dry from the first story.

fact humans are flawed and we make mistakes.TRUE conservatives know this and own up to it.we remove those that have deceived us. libs dont see anything wrong in the behavior unless its a con that commits it.

--Actually there's nothing wrong with electing gay people (which, in fact, cons rarely do knowingly). Electing closeted homos who promote legislation which denies rights to other gay people, now THAT'S classic conjobbery.

This, coming from a member of the "family values" and "personal responsibility" party? I see...

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. You sick cons bitched to the skies that liberals were "homophobes" when we slammed Denny Hasturd and co for covering up for that closeted, child-molesting, teen boy-stalking freak Mark Foley. As if anyone really thinks you care about fighting discrimination. You're so unbelievably transparent. The only time you worry about "discrimination" is when you think you can use it to play the victim for political gain. Get real.

Are you really that naive - whoops let me restate that - You are that naive.

Look who did the story simpleton - The network that not only claims it's fair and balanced and is anything but also sued for the right to lie in its news programming and won - and then tell me that they used quotes from Independents and Democrats. Sure they did skippy and expecting me to believe that is like trying to convince me that GW Bush has produced a balanced budget every year he has been in office - and we all know what a freaking lie that is!

You are correct, SAAB. : )

Because he's starting to suffer from Alzheimers. Because he doesn't know the difference between a Sunni and a Shia. Because he doesn't know DICK about the economy. Because he is a racist. Because he is a philanderer. Because he dumped his wife because she suffered from an automobile accident and had gained some weight. Because he doesn't have a clue. Because he wants to keep us in Iraq for 100 years. Because he has involved in umpteen scandals. Because he gets a free pass from the press. Because he is becoming a doddering old fool. Because he rolled over on torture. Because GWB&Co. smeared his ass from here to hell and back and Insane McCain kissed all their asses. Because.

Tessylo sent this message to me:

Oh yes gw - you are so muy mysterioso - anyone could have been creeping around the threads like you and read my bio and it is pretty darn easy to figure out when I turned 45 and where I live. I don't care if I revealed anything to you that you didn't already know. Call me a coward. You're a sniveling pukey bastard. Call me immature if you want I don't give a rat's ass. I'm so much more mature than the likes of you - who thinks you're so clever and has revealed so much about me. What a dipshit you are. I'm really done with you. You think you've intimidated me? I have no idea what Linwood is - are you implying I'm autistic. Sure if you say so. People like you are so ridiculous. Call me a coward for giving negs and supposedly not commenting. Pot call the kettle black! DICK! I don't give a damn where you work or what to do. Genius - not!

For some reason, you really like the word DICK.

Which is exactly what you are doing. Can you not even smell your hipocrisy? I thought maybe the stockyards moved her with all the BS you spew.

Oh please, Tissueload. NOTHING about your life is personal. We all know you're a bitter old crone living in a nursing home who has tantrums and smears food in her hair, wondering why her children hate her so much.

We ALL KNOW that.

So give it a rest and simmer down, before they take away your computer privileges again. Remember last time, when you tossed your keyboard through the window? They took your privileges away for THREE WEEKS. Three weeks without Tissueload's posts. Granted it was HEAVEN for us here on Nutscape, but what did all your liberal conspiracy theory website buddies do without your psycho-rants for three weeks?!

"We all know you're a bitter old crone living in a nursing home who has tantrums and smears food in her hair, wondering why her children hate her so much...etc."

That's pretty damn disgusting, Saint. Mean, hurtful and disgusting. It's really easy for you to sit behind your computer and talk that way to a lady. I'd love for you to say it,live, in front of me. I'd LOVE it. And I never agree with Tessy!
