Is John McCain's Age Just a Joke?

Is John McCain's age just a joke? FOX's Neil Cavuto thinks so, but do you?

Ronald Reagan, who was a year younger than McCain would be when sworn in, developed Alzheimer's while in office. McCain has had a few "senior moments," including his recent statement that the "League of Nations" needs to deal with Iran. (The League of Nations was disbanded in 1946 when John McCain was 10.)

And McCain's brain has taken a number of heavy blows, both physical and psychological. According to Dr. Kirk James Murphy, a V.A. physician who has long experience treating veterans with PTSD,

Sen McCain's life history indicates that his brain is at greater than average risk of dysfunction and impairment in the following areas:

- capacity to learn, recall, and reason with complex new information

- judgement and impulse control

- capacity to devote sustained attention.

Many of McCain's contemporaries feel the Presidency is far too demanding a job for someone their age.

Given these facts, isn't McCain's age more than just a joke?

McSame's unworthy to hold the highest office in the land!

I have always believed this man has a severe case of PTSD. His outbursts, his rage, his memory, his gaffs...all signs of a person suffering from this condition. His "Straight Talk Express" definitely needs overhauled. He has continually voted against legislation for veterans and combat troops. If anyone took the time to investigate, this fact would become quite evident. And for his service to this country-yes he was a POW. But, the conservative website www.vietnamveteransagainstmccain gives a clearer picture of his stay at the Hanoi Hilton from others that stayed at the same prison. This man doesn't support the troops. He is still stuck in Vietnam. He doesn't understand the Middle East or much else about the world in general. He's changed his stance so many times on different issues that even he must be confused. I've tried on many occasions to talk to McCain supporters. But, what do I know. I'm just a fanatical,liberal who reads the Huffington Post. I hope all the Democratic voters come together for the general. All this bs about voting for McCain if their candidate doesn't get nominated is insane. This election is the Dems to lose. If we don't come together, if we chose to cross party lines out of the choice of the nominee, we will be voting against our own interests. America needs saved from the clutches of the conservatives. This election is Her chance.
