Isn't that Ageism? Shouldn't McCain be considered for the job regardless of his age or physical challenges?
Isn't that like a business owner saying he doesn't want to hire a woman manager because there is a good statistical chance she'll end up getting pregnant in the next 4 years and leave him in a bind?
Ladies and Gents, I present for your amusement: Liberal Hypocrisy! (psst take your bow Moron...er Moray)

Wab... he is being considered for the job, that's why he's on the ticket. I'm not hiring him based on his age, I don't like his views of today. In 2000, I would have voted for him. I was simply giving the other poster a subjective frame of view. If there's a 15% chance of getting hit squarely between the eyes by a fastball, you do something about it. It's the frame of reference. I suppose you don't remember Reagan in his later years in the office.... stumbling over sentences and words in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Second, a female employee that gets pregnant, is only pregnant. She's coming back. A dead somebody...is...well...not coming back. I guess you think that it's "ageism" that seniors over 65 be tested physically every year to drive, also.
Do me a favor. Look up "Liberal" in the dictionary. Let me know what it means. You know what... I'll save you the work. Instead of trouncing a position you know nothing about, obviously... figure out exactly wtf you are using as a label...maybe understand the meaning of the word. Thanks for the compliment, idiot.

It would seem, as you think that the word "liberal" is a bad title to have; that you don't agree with any of the above ideas. If that is the case, in short, you are a close-minded, intolerant bigot tightwad, who believes in minimum freedoms for anyone, unless placed squarely within aristocratic ruling class. In short, another King Bush.
