  1. Biden don't matter. It's all about me!


  2. They will not mention Biden's age - or his health concerns - but they will still pound on the issue of McCain's age.

    You can bet on it.

  3. Half a decade at that age can make a difference but does not have to.

    Everybody quit making age an issue.

    You want experience but do not grasp how to acquire it.

  4. Biden is 65 that is pretty close, but the ageism angle against McCain will not stop, Bidens age will be ignored.

  5. since they are only 6 years apart in age, I would imagine so.  Neither one is too old.  We have no guarantees in this life.  People die and get dementia at all different ages.  My neighbor is 97 and still walks at least a mile a day.  I see her in front of my house every day.  Her husband is 103 and he would still be walking with her had it not been for being injured by a car a few years ago.  Other people, such as my cousin, die of heart attacks in their 40s.

    "old" is a relative term.  When you're 18, you might think 40 is old.  When you're 30, you might think 50 is old, when you're 70,  you probably think 90 is old.

  6. If your parents are older, then you realize that there is a big difference between 65 and 71.

  7. Liberals crack me up.  All of a sudden old white haired men are cool.

  8. It doesn't matter. Liberals are usually big hypocites so they'll go right on making fun of McCain's age. The same standard NEVER applies to righteous liberal democrats....especially ones with higher IQs than you.

  9. No - Biden is 65.  McCain will be 72 August 29.  McCain is running to be President, and cannot be removed from office.  Biden is running for Vice President, and could step down without major disruption.

    The risk of Alzheimers doubles every 5 years after 65, putting McCain at a much higher risk.  At age 85 the risk is 50%.

    We have already had one president in the early stages of Alzheimers, as Reagans diagnosis shows.  We do not need another.

  10. brilliant question

    In just one day, Obama has managed to end all McCain Old jokes from Yahoo

    lol

  11. Joe Biden will bring experience in many different areas to the Obama campaign.His age will mean that people will no longer direct all the "old" talk at McCain because in doing so they would have to bring up Biden's age as well.The main thing is that age is just a number but both Biden and McCain have knowledge and experience in many different areas that will be helpful to their respective campaigns.

  12. No, McCain is in his 70's; Biden is only in his 60's.  There's enough difference to still make a distinction.

  13. Biden is 65 going on 66.  McCain is 71, soon to be 72.  McCain is running for president, Biden is running for Vice President. On what basis are you making the age comparison?  

  14. No.  McCain is too old to be president...

  15. No, because Obama supporters are quick to point out that while Biden is old, he's not as old as McCain. LOL, they can justify just about anything for their candidate. They even justify Biden's racist remarks.
