Good going Gramps! Let's see if we can dry up all your vet support.
Mc Same never articulates what WINNING MEANS!
Plainly he, B u s h/Ch e ney (et al)'s idea of winning in Iraq is permanent military installations.
Also unobstructed projection of power over the oil as well as continued exhorbitant profits for American and British oil companies
In the best interest of America ... Mc's cognitive faculties are legitimate questions & concerns! Anybody who asks the electorate to vote them into the office of POTUS and clearly demonstrates this obvious "lost in the wilderness" behavior, who clearly shows deminished memory ... not only should they be questioned ... ALL physical & mental health evaluations ought to be made plainly public!!
Why isn't MSM doing that from day one investigative reporting!!?
Well, there's no doubt mc-lame would tell ANY lie necessary - to win an election.
McCain is learning that he can not draw Obama into a reckless fire fight. Senator Obama used a reasonable tone and clear statement to point out that McCain was just being crabby.
Age should not be an issue in this election. There are lots of 70-year old men who can think clearly, speak rationally and lead with competence. McCain is proving that he is not one of them.
