Murtha says McCain too old to be president

Murtha says McCain too old to be president
4/16/08
Quote:
WASHINGTON - 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."
"This one guy running is about as old as me," he said, drawing laughter and applause. "Let me tell you something, it's no old man's job."

If elected, McCain would be the oldest man to become president at age 72. Ronald Reagan became president at age 69, but he served as president for eight years and was just a few weeks shy of his 78th birthday when he left office.
McCain, in an interview with CNN on Wednesday, said, "All I can tell you is that I admire and respect Jack Murtha. Speak for yourself, Jack. I'm doing fine. Thanks."
Murtha, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, made the comments while introducing the candidate he has endorsed, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, to the AFL-CIO's Building Trades National Legislative Conference.

I believe if they still have a sound mind and a sound agenda that "has this country's best interest at heart" age should not play a role...
Don't waist your vote by voting for the lesser of three evils, you see what that gets you ! Who cares if your vote don't go to the winner, do you get a prize for picking the winner? Vote your conscience !

Again, see how foolish and wrong you are! Read my thread "I'd Rather have Hillary than Obama' thread---just that I'd have to have a gun at my head...LOL
