4. He is a natural born citizen, and is over 35...clearly. He's qualified, just not sane. |

I was going to post something very similar but I think I have worn out my welcome on the Clinton remarks today..
This makes my point without my... um... unusual style. ie: without insulting everyone... nice work.

15. "He was a war hero... that's enough to qualify him..." |
|
I hear that over and over again.
Somehow, his military service is all he needs. Of course, JOhn Kerry's service wasn't good enough.
But John McCain... that's all she wrote.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vIAfBqWOL4&feature=relatedY'know, at first, I was one of those people who said that his POW ordeal should be off-limits. But since he's insisting on bringing it up at every single opportunity regardless of the subject, screw him.

He's ancient and rich. He should go retire. Our problems don't affect him.

25. The Constitution spells out QUALIFICATIONS |

Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 02:48 AM by TheKentuckian
McCain is neither fit nor capable. He is 72 and not a bright guy, he cannot be made ready. McCain does not have the Right Stuff, Aviator or not.
Lack of experience can be overcome, lack of ability is a tough roe to hoe. A vote for McCain greatly endangers our country, I wouldn't let him run a lemonaide stand and Palin cannot be trusted with so much as that.
It becomes more clear with each passing day that the entire argument is a farce! There is no comparison between the capabilities and policies of the teams on the ballot. This is a joke, we're probably heading for worse than a Depression just for having the type of society that would think there is actually any choice in this election, this is seriously the kind of societal mentality that will land you in a Dark Age. We've got to pull up on the stick, and pull up hard.

I have to agree with Joe Klein in his Time article dated for release September 29, 2008. "The McCain camp has decided that its candidate can't win honorably, on the issues, so it has resorted to transparent and phony diversions. He concluded his article in which he branded McCain as a liar writing "John McCain has raised serious question about whether he has the character to lead the nation. He has defaced his beloved military code of honor. He has run a dirty campaign."
