Things younger than Republican Presidential candidate (oh, and did I forget to mention war hero?) John McCain

Am I being “age-ist”? Maybe. But maybe not. The world is a pretty complicated place right now and I’m thinking that it’s not such a great time to elect our oldest President ever. So sue me.

Ron Paul is (not) younger than John McCain.

Ron Paul is (not) younger than John McCain.

He is, in fact, almost a year to the day older than John McCain - and yet some people are hoping that McCain taps him as his running mate.

I smell a spin-off…..

  3. Welcome to gerontocracy. An established tradition in Communist nations like China, North Korea and Cuba.

  4. Ron Paul is a year older and yet he still looks 10 years younger than McCain and is certainly a lot healthier too.

  5. Yup, and in a hundred years when our troops are still stuck in Iraq, as John McCain wants, Paul will still be a year older.

  6. No way would Ron Paul sell out and join McCain. Ron Paul = anti-imperialism McCain = war monger.

  7. I’d like Ron Paul to be on ticket because I’d like to see the reaction of having an older person on John McCain’s ticket. Also, since Ron Paul would be a terrible running mate, it would guarantee an Obama victory, yay!!

  8. Ron Paul’s ideas are much younger than McCain’s.

    McCain believes in empire, bureaucracy, state control and militarism. Ideas stretching back before human history.

    Ron Paul believes in limited constitutional government, liberty for the individual, non-intervention, sound money and freedom. Ideas that only took prominence in the world at the founding of our great nation.

    McCain’s ideas, 4000+ years old

    Ron Paul’s Ideas, 221 years old

  9. [...] Fred Smith are younger than John McCain. Not terribly surprising - I mean, with the exception of Ron Paul, there aren’t that many potential running mates who are older than John [...]
