Obama Surrogate Attacks McCain for Age, Cancer

McCain and Palin are inept. They are empty headed and empty handed. They have no ideas, no substance, no plans, no nothing. They do have insults and nasty campaigning. They steal Obama's ideas, slogans, etc. They just don't have what it takes. I don't want two nasty people as president. They are dirty.

Palin and her Alaskan Independence Party. McCain and Keating 5 and his mob ties. Palin's affair with hubby's friend, troopergate, hiding tax money, etc. Who do they think they are to attack someone's character? Jesus? No. Now, they've opened a can of worms. They are far less than perfect, so get ready. Palin, you're such a dummy!

Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps Senator McCaskill is unaware that Harry S. Truman was 64 at the time of his election in 1948? And this at a time when the life expectancy was far less than it is today. His picked VP was Alben Barkley who was 71 at the time of the 1948 election. Apparently age was not a problem to Democrats in that era. It would seem that as a Senator from Missouri she would be aware of the history of President Truman and less than eager to attack someone because of age. I sincerely hope she receives more respect when she attains more wisdom and age. I also would pray that she is not tortured at the hands of an enemy and suffer from some of the afflictions that she and her cohorts on the liberal left are so ready to criticize.

According to the NYT in July of '08, McCain said he was learning to get online, and that he was becoming literate to the point where he could get the information he was needed. I also watched a MSNBC video from June '08 with Rick Davis saying McCain would grab the reporters' Blackberries on the bus and get on the internet. Nothing was said in either interview about McCain having physical limitations in using either a PC or Blackberry.

Pamela,

Indeed you can't. Which means that you can't dismiss McCain's notable 26 year career as a Senator in the United States Senate despite having all those injuries you want to scurrilously bring up.

Hey Shelley, so let's say that McCain dies after 2 1/2 years in office (at 75.4 years). That means that Palin would have 2 1/2 years of experience as VP (plus two years as goveneror) while Barack would be in his 6th year in the Senate..hmmm. So by your reasoning, Sarah Palin would still be more qualified that Barack Obama.

It's time to bring up Obama's cocaine abuse.

Didn't Obama on TWO occaisions say he would debate JM anytime, anywhere? I remember he received a large amount of applause when he said it.

What happened?

If you can set side the age and health issues - Look at the economy and the financial crisis in the USA today - The right wing doesn't want to talk about and tou can be assured you want hear about it on Fox - Be real anyone who can vote for McCain is oblivious to all the problems in this country.

Dave in lv, the reason Obama won't do the town hall debates is the same reason he wouldn't debate Hillary at the end. Because without a teleprompter and a scripted message, he is a bumbling idiot who repeatedly puts both his feet into his mouth.

When I want a good laugh, or need to be entertained a bit, I come over to ABC.com or watch a little bit of the one sided ABC News coverage. Just like Denzel said in the movie Training Day, "it's all BS, but it entertains me".

I just wanted to say that I never intend to watch ABC again. I will surf past it so fast, it will not even show up. I am a Democrat, but Charlie Gibson's rude behavior in his interview with Sarah Palin was the last straw. He acted like he was better than her and with his glasses on his nose, he had such an ugly sneer. I would have thought ABC could have done better, I know NBC and MSNBC are in the tank for Obama, and I probably would have voted for him until I watched this interview. I willl pull a straight Republican ticket after this.

Palin has never met a world leader, then who is president Bush, president of wall mart, all the people thats worried about McCains health and age,people are dying daley thats in there early 20es and 30es from heart atacks, cancer,aids and other things, age and health has nothing to do with
it, when God call you will answer regardless of who you are, so you that has put McCain in his grave,dont you think its time YOU got him out. Yes the war is about wone, and it would be a disgrace to quit now andGIVE BACK all thats been won.

Why did Obama minimize the number of debates and hold the one or two debates off until the very end?

Why did Obama refuse 10 open townhall debates where any and all questions could be asked?

Was he afraid of people like you and me?

Was he afraid he couldn't answer unexpected questions?

Or was he just afraid of debating "old man" JM and get his clock cleaned?

So now Democrats question John McCain's patriotism?

I guess someday they will point with pride the great patriotism exhibited by Obama?

Claire "my daughter called me a slug and said she'd be ashamed of me if I didn't support Obama" McCaskill has been my favorite Obama surrogate ever since the first time I saw her on Hardball. She is hilarious! I guess that she, along with the many other early endorsers, think they still have a chance at important roles in an Obama administration. However, in the case of McCaskill, until her teenage daughter tells her to shut up, she just won't.

If McCain was a Patriot he would put his EGO aside and realize that the number of risks to the people of America that he has taken on for his own gain is not worthy of the uniform he once wore.

Shelley.

They will only answer with a resounding YES!!! regardless of what their hypothalmus is telling them.

So why ask?

What we do here is throw pies at each other.

"McCain, to contrast, has been open and frank about his medical records and has a family history of longevity. He should have as great or greater chance of making it through the next 8 years as the three member of the Democratic party list above. "

I believe that the life expectancy for white males in the US is currently at 75.4 years. In other words, statistically, John McCain is at risk of not surviving his first term of office--especially when one adds in the stress and burden that comes being from being President. I wish him long life, but pretending the facts don't exist is, well, inherently foolish. And irresponsible as voters.

I mentioned earlier, though, that it's also unfair to assume that something couldn't happen to Obama, and we should look at both presidential running mate choices and ask ourselves: do we know the running mate as well? Are we as comfortable with the running mate as we are the presidential candidate? This is a fair question.

I stated that I, as a Democrat, am comfortable with Obama's running mate, Joe Biden. When I vote for Obama, I'm voting also for Biden to become president, if need be.

Now, it is fair to ask Republicans, the population at large:

Are you comfortable with Sarah Palin assuming the presidency of the United States? If not, you should seriously rethink your vote. You can't spend the next four years desperately hoping that McCain stays healthy.

"The talk about Obama smoking is cute and all, but the fact is Obama will outlive McCain by decades barring an accidental death." pug

How do you figure that?

Obama's mom died in her fifties.

His dad was even younger when he died
in an alcohol related crash.

On the brighter side.....
MCain's Mom is sharp as a tack, and pushing 95!

So forget about McCain's lack of longevity; he's going to be around a long, long time!

We're still looking forward to the release of Obama's complete medical records; Only one sheet has been released so far, and that was signed by a doctor who's his personal friend!

MCCAIN AND PALIN

Senator Obama has refused to release any medical records. One has to wonder what he is hiding there. Biden has had brain surgery, an alcohol problem, and other serious medical concerns. He has not released a full medical history either. Third in line among Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, is close to the same age as McCain.

McCain, to contrast, has been open and frank about his medical records and has a family history of longevity. He should have as great or greater chance of making it through the next 8 years as the three member of the Democratic party list above.
