More timely info from the McCain camp...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGfdhW30ofM

Can't imagine why he's so hepped up about off shore drilling. Whether it take's 10 years or 10 months, I don't think he's gonna live long enough to see a result.

Hey thanks, you're making my topics seem relevant and informative!

If that's what you're into...

He's just being careful. You can't f*ck around with melanoma.

Honestly, I find the whole "McCain is old" narrative to be a bit tiresome. My parents are almost his age and they're not in a nursing home or anything. Hell, look at McCain's mom -- if he's anything like her, he'll be around for another 30 years.

It's funny, though.

But, yeah, it's not a good reason to not vote for someone. Especially when there are so many good reasons not to vote for McCain. Zing!


There are a couple of good reasons to vote for him, too, but admitting that detracts from my "Zing".

I think it's only really ever mentioned because of the contrast with Obama. Now all of a sudden people are realizing that most of our politicians are old, white men. like ZOMG who knew

McCain does not look that old. Now Fred Thompson, on the other hand, looks like a walking corpse.

I still can't believe he was a real candidate. I mean.... really? he ran?

Hell, for that matter, OMG OBAMA HAS ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE!

Hint: He's having hip trouble. Talk about an "old man" problem!!!

That's what you get for being all like "hay watch me sink a three-pointer."

okay it was impressive to me :sucksatsports

I just think McCain is funny, cuz he's there because the GOP isn't even trying this cycle. They're hoping to let the Dem's spend four years looking like morons trying, futilely, to pick up the mess Dubya is gonna leave behind.

In four year's they'll front a real candidate, claiming "See Obama couldn't put the toothpaste back in the tube! (Nevermind who squeezed it all out...) Time for, ah... CHANGE! Yeah, that's it. Change!"

It's not like the GOP chose McCain... the voters did, and the GOP was (eventually) (mostly) like, "all right, if you say so." If you recall, his campaign was d.e.a.d. in the water for quite some time.

^ this

It was all about the Romney and the Huckabee for a while there. Then, all of a sudden McCain ninja-flipped to the front and everyone was all "Oh yeah, THAT guy."

but it is becoming increasingly obvious that the GOP isnt really doing anything to get get mccain elected, it feels like bob dole all over again

maybe they will get into gear after the convention (lets hope not

The REAL GOP votes with their checkbooks. That's who could give a crap.

His campaign has always been dead. He may even have the support of the core conservative vote, but that is not how we select our leaders. We use this stuff called "money". The GOP is saving theirs for an election they want to win.

Oh, to be sure, I don't see the GOP being all like "woohoo let's pour all of our money into this campaign." But I think part of that is the conventional wisdom that this will be a Democratic election, especially since the Democratic candidate has the crossover appeal that he does. So I think it's a combination of factors.

Honestly I think Romney is an absolute DUD of a candidate. Huckabee? Well, he seems nice and all, and he sure loves Jesus, but I need something more to work with than that.

But... he majored in miracles, not math! That's just the kind of out there thinking your economy and foreign policy needs right now!

Given he's had melanoma FOUR times before, I'm guessing that is what is going to kill him sooner or later.

Yes, I am enjoying re-posting this image.

Let's just try not to be inflammatory, please.

Please see thread title.

Got it. Let's just try not to be inflammatory, please.

... ok.

I too am tired of the old bashing, mccain is like 10 years younger than my dad and my dad is very very able bodied, the only reason I probably wouldnt vote for my dad for president is he 8th grade education and no knowledge of how the economy works

I'd rather vote for your dad too.

So he's pretty much the same as McCain then?

The fallacy here is the assumption that the republican notion of economy "works".

(not that the democrats are any better.)

at least we know who the circle jerkers are

Wait, What?

I just got that. My bad.

Dammit, people, I should not be filling NLTAG's roll here.

Well, the obvious answer there is, McCain is barely behind Obama in all the polls right now, without hardly trying. Why waste all that extra money now when it makes no sense to do so. They'll make their big push right before election, when they'll have that much more money to throw into the end of the campaign. It's just logistics really. Now, of course if Obama starts pulling a wider percentage in the polls, they might reverse that strategy and start ramping it up.

IMHO, the only reason why it's close at all right now is that people are still deciding whether or not they're gonna get on the Obama bandwagon.

IST... I told you... I don't do that to everyone's mom...

Just your own mom.

I want to see IST fill NLTAG's roll....

with jelly?

How did the "McCain is extra old." Thread get kinky?

lemonparty?

Hunter showed up.
