Well he just lost my vote!

This is not the same man that he was back in 2000. He appears to be in the very early stages of senilty. Hev is fouling up too many things that cometh from his lips. Something is wrong with his mental workings.

It is plain to see. How many are going to overlook the obvious as they did with our current Pres. George Bush. All the red flags were there, but so many just ignore the flags. Now the red flags are so prevalent with McCain, All his members just are not functioning correctly. Senenty one years of age is a gamble, and based on what we are seeing, just plain stupid.

I don’t know whether to be more concerned about his slips or the stuff he actually means to say…

Obama had a real good case of foot in mouth this last weekend in Bristol Va.

But you never see or hear of these things in the Post… funny that, isn’t it?

Everybody makes an occasional slip of the tongue. As an older voter (Im 61), Ive just about had it with Obama surrogates drilling on about McCains age. Obama himself speaks much about crossing the racial divide and even the gender divide, but nothing about the generational divide. The exit polls showed a huge generational divide in Obamas appeal. (In contrast, Reagan didnt do so swell in his own age group.)

The partisan link to ageist comments is evident from the absence of such comments about the possible Veep candidacy of 74-year-old Dianne Feinstein or the continuing service of 88-year-old Justice Stevens, ailing Sen. Kennedy (76) or Sen. Byrd.

(On another matter, Jo, this blog seems not to recognize the apostrophe key. Whenever I type an apostrophe, it acts as a shortcut for Quick Find.)

So it’s ageism that makes McCain make stupid mistakes all the time, for which the rightwing media never holds him accountable?
Interesting take. Didn’t know the Dems had that kind of control over McSame’s choice of words.

It is a fact of life that age is the factor of the beginning stages of senility. Just as age is concerning my own eye sight and vision problems.

No need being upset about it, it is just the facts of life.

D-, so how do you rectify Obamessiah’s gaffes?

He sees dead heros at a Memorial Day rally.
He visited 57 states.
His comments, or lack there of, from Va last week.
His lame a55 excuse that the guy heading his VP search doesnt work for him.
None of his old friends are who he remembers (Rezko, Wright, Pfleger, Ayers)

Could it be his past drug use was more than reported?

this is a meaningless slip because it does not reflect a lack of understanding on an issue. His slip confusing Sunni’s and Shiites was much more concerning because something like that actually impacts what happens in the world.

That being said, all St. Louisans must unite to save AB from foreign owners. The impact this will have on St. Louis non-partisans (many of whom get free stuff from AB to help raise money) will be devastating to our civic life.

He says he’ll veto every single bill with earmarks. Hmmmm….

(Link) McCain Intentionally Cost Boeing the Air Force Tanker Deal and sealed it for Europe’s Airbus
We have several lobbyist powerhouses from EADS/Airbus in the McCain campaign and we have massive contributions from those lobbyists and from EADS/Airbus employees to the McCain Campaign. Finally, we have a contract that was awarded to a company that proposed a larger, more expensive and less fuel efficient plane versus the company that proposed the specified size, and a more affordable and fuel efficient plane Those dots are not hard to connect and I feel confident in asserting that none of it was accidental. McCain, who tries to tout himself as being above earmarks and pork, has really pulled a whopper here. I don’t know what has to happen to fix this, but the contract needs to be awarded to Boeing and a complete investigation initiated into how this all happened.
