Comments on: The Grapes of Wrath. http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/the-grapes-of-wrath/ 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.

Hanging anti-nuclear activists?

Which reminds me … Man-made nuclear fission reactors are younger than John McCain.

Which one of Obama/Clinton's policies, specifically, are you calling socialist? Do you mean universal health care, which has been successfully adopted by every major industrialized country other than the US? Do you mean doing something (anything!) about climate change? Make no mistake, John McCain's policies differ only slightly from President Bush's, and those ideas have been continuously proven wrong over the past 8 years. Everything President Bush has done has failed, usually miserably. I'll take Obama or Hillary over Bush III, thanks. Oh, and McCain's age is most definitely an issue. For someone who has sold himself as a foreign policy expert, he has an awfully hard time keeping Sunnis and Shiites straight - which is only a central issue in the most important foreign policy issue of the day. Either he's having a "senior moment" or he just plain does not know the difference. Both of those possibilities should scare you. Socialist ideas have been proven wrong around the world?

Anyway my point is, we should look at ideas, character, and plans for the country rather than age, sex or race. I don't share Obama's and Hillary's socialist ideas, they have been proven wrong over and over around the world. Although I am not happy with any candidate, I prefer McCain over those two at anytime and I'll take Hillary over Obama at anytime. Michelle’s comment were recent while campaigning for Obama.

I don't care about age, sex nor race. I care about ideas and Obama’s are scary to say the least. Welcome to the United States of France.

The guy is going to kill over at any minute. He is well past the age where mental deterioration begins and dementia sets in. Obama's race or Hillary's gender dont affect our country the way McCain's wretched oldness does. Think about it. Worrying about McCain’s age is quite different than race or gender.
