Sleepy John

January 24, 2007 by Tom Negrino

Let’s not be too mean. John McCain is an old man. The elderly need their rest. It was after 9 PM, and both he and Bush were up past their bedtimes.

Did you know that if John were to be elected president in 2009, he would be 72 when he took office? That would make McCain three years older than Reagan when he became the oldest elected president. And as we all remember, Reagan obviously became too old and vague to do the job. If you take a look at pictures of presidents on their inauguration day and four years later, you can easily see how the job ages the person.

The next president is going to have to clean up the horrible messes that Bush will leave behind. Entirely apart from McCain’s repugnant stands on the issues, how about if we hire someone who has the stamina to do the job for all four years?

    I couldn’t tell if he was sleeping or just checking his crackberry…. or maybe his iPod.

    McCain’s a Republican and a terrible disappointment in the way he’s been pandering to insane right-wingers. I see no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt.
    Henceforth, he shall be known as Sleepyhead McCain.

    While I admire the man for his service to the country, his willingness (in the past at least) to buck the party, and his correct stands on issues like Global Warming he has had two strike against him:
    1. His stand on intelligent design as science
    2. His morally repugnant stand on gay marriage (probably inspired by his commencement address to Liberty U)
    Now this is strike 3…fare thee well John!

    Well, McCain is also the guy who said “I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected…”, which kinda made me think he’d be one of them wannabe benevolent dictator types.
    I’m guessing the trains might at least run on time then.

    Haven’t been a fan of McCain since he was one of the Keating 5
