Hey John:

Lighten up.

Now go take a nap.

Buck, I know that your intentions are the best and that you hold older people in high regard and all that, but you can surely see that, intentional or not, your comments can be construed as an insult to all of us by inference. Make the”age” case against McCain if you must, but be very careful to make it against him specifically (if that’s even possible).

You’re lucky that encroaching senility will cause me to forget this whole thing by nightfall.

Hey guys, I’m not dissing older folks. I hope to be one myself someday. Indeed, if Obama wins this election, I’ll be faced with the unprecedented situation of being older than the president of the United States.

But I guess you fellows are used to that ….

“If you are against McCain (as I am) because he is a total piece if crap, say soâ€“but donâ€™t hit him with the age prejudice â€™cause itâ€™s hurts too many other people who arenâ€™t a piece of crap, just older Americans.”

Amen, brother from a soon to be (very soon) 67 year old.

Pissing off senior citizens, always a dubious campaign move.

Things younger than John McCain–how could they forget “DIRT”?
Seriously, as a doddering 64 year old, I have a problem with the ageist argument. I would make a wonderful President and an even better emperor–it all depends on a persons vitality. If you are against McCain (as I am) because he is a total piece if crap, say so–but don’t hit him with the age prejudice ’cause it’s hurts too many other people who aren’t a piece of crap, just older Americans.
