[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. lol

he's such a moron

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

4. maybe he can celebrate over at Bob Jone's University? BJ-U, isn't that

what all the "Mavericks" are doing this year?

[ginnyinWI]

5. In '08 he'll be 72

Something to think about before they nominate him. How old was Reagan when elected? Anyway, old Ronnie got decrepit in office.

[Bluebear]

6. CNN: "In a post 9/11 world, life experience matters."

Within the last half hour on air.

[mcscajun]

9. Reagan was 69 when he was nominated. McCain would be the

oldest ever if he became the 'publican candidate.

[Poiuyt]

12. CNN's Situation Room was going to do a segment on age and the

presidency today in response to McCain's old age

[mcscajun]

13. Wait for them to say "70 is the new 60"

Shouldn't take but 5 minutes.

[Bluebear]

15. Exactamundo. nt

7. Oops, too late to run for President

So sorry, but at 70, you missed your chance... Maybe next lifetime?

Have a drink and enjoy your birthday :toast:

8. McCain

Moore like BUSHCO STOLE his chance back in '00. And yet McCain still sucks up to these folks.

[rhiannon55]

10. I know. I actually LIKED McCain for about a minute

and then he started sucking up to the evil and moronic Chimp who had seriously fucked him over, and I lost any respect I had. :thumbsdown:

[AngryOldDem]

11. Same here

Never have I been more disillusioned. I supported him in 2000. Boy, was I a chump.

[JitterbugPerfume]

14. Reagan had alzheimers in his second term

do they REALLY think we can risk that again?
