Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Wednesday that Republican Sen. John McCain is too old to be president. Murtha is 75, four years older than McCain. He says they are nearly the same age, and the rigors and stress of running the country is too much for guys their age. "I've served with seven presidents," Murtha told a union audience. "When they come in, they all make mistakes. They all get older."

71 is the new, well, 71.

Murtha, the pork king. Give me a fucking break.

So, a Democrat said a Republican shouldn't be President.
No conflict of interest there.

Iran, Iraq, they're all pretty much the same. MCain 2008:he's old, he's crazy, he can't decide what he believes, but he's white!

This is a good thing, you don't want an ex-president hanging around for 40 years

Eric-on the other hand, you'd kind of like them to make it to inauguration, both physically and mentally.

What are the odds of him living through his term? How old is he? 80?

They can predict a meteor hitting as 1/450.

What are his? LOL!

Maybe they should post all the candidates medical charts on the campaign trail.

Alzheimer alert?!?!?!?!?!

If he has such a pressing need to be made a fool of by a murderer, why doesn't Carter go to Cuba and let Castro rub his nose in some shit for old time's sake?

My thoughts exactly. See "Jimmy Carter."

the age doesn`t matter much...the problem is unpredictable reacts...

The rigors of the Presidency age men an additional 10 more years by the time they leave that office. Look at Bush in 2000 and look at him now. The same goes for most former Presidents. You literally have the weight of the world on your shoulders. McCain's health history for many years has not been top notch. Why take a chance with a man his age who is not in the best of health. Who would he pick as his VP? If McCain wins it's his VP who in 2-3 years would likely be the one sitting in the Oval Office, not John McCain.

Hasn't this country been through enough already these last eight years. Do we need to chance even more turmoil for ourselves by electing a man who, to satisfy his huge ego, decided he wants to take on the toughest job in the world starting at age 72? No, we do not.

Retire, Johnny, buy a big RV and drive around the country like a lot of other folks your age. Just don't drive down to 1600 Pennyslvania Avenue because we don't want you there.

I agree with Murtha, he has seen much. I am 57 and have seen many presidents come in too and there hair turn white and they start to make big mistakes when speaking like Bill Clinton does now too.

I agree Chris

old age and especially old age mixed with poor health don't make for good presidents. next thing you know, he'll start accidently shooting people in the face.

sports is a young man's game. business is a young man's game. entertainment is a young man's game. LIFE is a young man's game.

You think McCunttrollop is too old. No shit. The old fuck should stick to playing shuffleboard with Wilford Brimley.

Remember, folks, the baby-boomers are now approaching old, and they always get what they want. They also believe that people like them are what they want. He wins easily, old or not.

**** He wins easily, old or not.

"How old is he? 80?"
--UNCLESAM


Might help to read:

If elected, McCain would be the oldest man to become president at age 72.

After last night's debate, I'd vote for him if he was dead.

....at least his leadership qualities would remain consistent......

"After last night's debate, I'd vote for him if he was dead."

Why put that disclaimer on it? When would you ever vote for Obama or Clinton...oh, I get it. Humor. Haha.

McCain to old? I don't think so. Reagan was damn near 80 when he pulled the last of his 8 years. Murtha...It doesn't surprise me of the comment. He says quite a bit of crap that ain't true. I will say that, in my opinion, that Murtha is to stupid to be a congressman. The only people more stupid are th ones that put him there...

I don't believe you asked that question, but I would love to have some more bush...Oh, you meant the president?

I think Murtha is correct. See, this is what happens when your mind turns to shit. You start responding to the wrong question.

too old and CRAZY!!!!

A crazy foul mouthed belligerent OLD FOOL!

Just what this country doesn't need.

Stickman Guys like you are fools. Bush is not going to leave office. The coup is coming and Bush is going to run over you all like a freaking stemroller.

I said this before, but I think Obama is too young based entirely on what Jimmy Carter has done in the meantime. Obama is what, mid 40's? Maybe mid 50's before he gets done if he wins. Do we really want another ex-president running around for 40 or 50 years criticizing this country exposing socialism, talking to terrorists, etc.?

McCain may not survive two terms, that's a given, but at least he'll have the good sense to keel over soon after like a good ex-president should. He'll be like Elvis or Hendrix or Bruce Lee - he can go out in his prime and we can remember him in a good light rather than hanging out for far too long on public retirement....

Murtha is too crooked and stupid to be in the Senate ("Not interested at taking the bribe at this time" and "lets pull out to Kuwait and if things get real bad we will go back in" eeshhhhs there is some strategy for ya) - but that will not stop him either.

what the hell is a stemroller TIMBCI?

you moron.

Why even give Murtha any attention? He's an over-the-hill commie asshole just like the Magic Negro and the BITCH...we all know what Murtha is, we know his agenda, and nothing intelligent could be expected from this clown...just ignore the ignoramous and maybe he too will go away...
