Murtha says McCain too old to be president
« on: April 16, 2008, 03:28:55 PM »
WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.

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

This old Tratorous Maggot should rollup and shut his mouth.

Pelosi has this old trench mouthed butt buzzard in her hip pocket and pulls his string when ever she needs a hatchet job done on our troops or the opposition !

Okay, 71 is too old to be president.  Can we also assume that it's also too old to hold any high profile government office?  That means that the following justices are to immediately resign their Supreme Court seats: John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  I hate to lose him, but I'll gladly give up Scalia if it means getting rid of the other three.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I'll bid Antonin Scalia and flush the others,
 Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
Antonin Scalia has genius material  !

Yeah, but probably half of the Senate is older than 71 and I didn't want to list all of those names...
