If "age" is a factor...shouldn''t we be talking about Obama????...I mean the younger you are...the more inexperienced you are...plain and simple.

Someone evidently told John McCain that being a "maverick" requires one to constantly forget important details, to switch positions daily, and to continually deny what you''ve said even though you''ve said it.

So many posts so unfair to McCain. Sometimes he has some moments of light ... Like 8 years ago ...

April 19, 2000

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) -- Former GOP presidential candidate John McCain called for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from atop the South Carolina Statehouse on Wednesday, acknowledging that his refusal to take such a stance during his primary battle for the Palmetto State was a "sacrifice of principle for personal ambition."

John Hagee called the Catholic Church the *** of Babylon. John McCain is still happy to have Hagee''s endorsement. If John McCain can''t stand up to Hagee, he can''t stand up to Bin Laden.

Republicans should have come up with someone better to be the nominee. But its fine with me that they didn''''t.

Republicans didn''t come up with him....the LAMEstream media got him where he is b/c he was the weakest RINO running. They tried to stack the deck for a dem.

But that was before they both started self distructing.

You mentioned McCain''s teeth. Sorry, but I have noticed his teeth myself. When he talks only his bottom yellow teeth show. Ugh. Republicans should have come up with someone better to be the nominee. But its fine with me that they didn''t.

Other than "my friends", the most common phrase uttered by John McCain is: "What I meant was...."
