Things Younger Than McCain

The Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson (who would also belong on a list of things cooler than John McCain).




Also, there’s an interesting discussion of ageism on the Things Younger Than McCain site. While I agree with some of the concerns about McCain’s age, I think it overlooks the real issues. Specifically, that John McCain is a ethically-questionable phony who doesn’t understand average Americans and doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to economics or the war on terror.

  1. Good points Greg,McCains political senility was not brought on by old age,his verbal baffoonery,is just a sick imitation of the clown dictator he worships.Stereotyping the weak,and defenceless,seems to be a national pastime,but stigmatizing older Americans is a dangerous election year activity.Elderly people do turn out to vote,and many have experienced discrimination in the form of forced retirements,miniscule returns on their social security investments,plundered retirement accounts,arbitrary confiscation of drivers licence,forced incarceration in “retirerment homes”,and often,the theft,of all thier accumulated wealth,thru “legal” maneuvers which serve to enrich greedy relatives,and the bureaucratic thieves of state.It is wise to suggest confronting the lunacy of McCain’s ideas,instead of ridiculing his elder status,it would be wiser still,to seek debate,on the issues affecting the massive voting block of citizens in McCains age bracket,it should be easy to prove McCain clueless,and unconcerned,with the pressures older Americains face.These votes are Senator Obama’s for the taking,if he is willing to confront these issues.If Senator Obama’s young supporters choose to display thier “wit” thru cheap,bigoted,”humor”,it will be for their own amusement,but the backlash created by a bunch of lowbrow,third-rate,John Stewart wannabes,could become crucial,in a close november election.
