This article pretty much sums it up. He's out of touch to put it lightly.

I think the guy is already showing signs of dementia. Scary thought that he might be in the Whitehouse in a few months.
I really do have a problem with his age... I was having this conversation with my mother last week about my grandma. She is 78 now, but when she was 72 (McCain's age when he would take office), she was really with it, volunteering at the library, heading some church committees, etc., and just really as sharp as I remember her my whole life. But in the past 6 years she has REALLY slipped both physically and more so mentally. She can't hear anything, and has dementia pretty good. It's hard to even have a conversation with her.
My other grandma is 80, and acts about 60, so I know that some people his age could do fine, but the thought of someone like my grandma being president and going through these problems is scary, especially seeing the rapid decline first hand that seemed to come out of nowhere.

Sorry to hear about your grandma. My grandmother had the same situation as yours did in her 80's. She was confused about 40% of the time before she died. Terrible thing to witness. Sounds like your other grandmother will be whipsmart at age 100 !
A fine example that we see what we want to see.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Not what I want to see... I like John McCain, and as far as senators go, think he has been good for this country. Policy-wise, I don't agree with him on a lot of issues and wouldn't vote for him as a president, even if he was 20 years younger.
I just can't shake the idea that a couple of years into his first term, that the country could be going through a mess with his health and a VP stepping in at least for a short time.
Plenty of people do fine into their 70's and 80's, but I do think that it has to be at least a part of the thought process. I am very interested to see who is VP choice is.

did i read that right that if Hillary or Obama misspoke liek McCain they would be jumped on. please that is just dumb. was Hillary or Obama jumped on with teh comments of Canadian government saying that both were playing politics with NAFTA. please, i can't believe that you of all people don't see that this review was as biased as the ones from the right.
if McCain is just McBush as so many want to paint him as why does the Right not like him. i want an article on that.

his 1000 yard stare and lack of decision in formulating words is scary.

I agree McCains too old and out of touch.
Obama is too young, inexperienced and bases everything on logical fallacies and rhetoric rather than fact. I'm not saying anyone else, but a person should obviously see that Obama is just telling you what he thinks you want to hear. Theres no proof that he's going to do that when he's in office.
I dont even have a comment on Hillary, if she somehow slips through, I'm going to Canada.
Classic. LOL.
How is this not all over mainstream media???????
i find it funny that when we cut parts of Obama speeches to make it look bad, we always say that we are taking things out of context. but then when it is against someone that we don't agree with then we believe that everything is true.
McCain took alot of flake for going to Liberity University and all the other issues that were raised in that posting.
Let's be fair and have rules for all people running for president. if we don't like it for our candates that don't do it to others.
that might be too hard.
