My girlfriend likes to say to twits that piss her off: I have panties older than you.
In the case of this twit. Not.
Funny post, Cheeze.
that's freaking insane!
The thing is, this is true. Don't people want someone who is smarter, more capable, and more aware of the world than the average person is? McCain is none of those.

Based on voting patterns since 1980, nope.
Except for 2000, but they fixed that.
I just remembered that McCain was a prisoner of war, which means he should become president.
Are you under the delusion that you live in a democracy?
Don't people want someone who is smarter, more capable, and more aware of the world than the average person is?
I think a lot of people want someone with whom they can identify. Hence GWB's feigned good-ol'-boy-ism, despite his upbringing and education.
Well, I guess a good-sized chunk of the U.S. population is graying right now, due to the baby boomers reaching a certain age. Maybe they'll want someone older. I dunno.
Hey! Watch it, TUM!
I may be graying, but that doesn't mean I want somebody older viciously senile in office.
Well, I wasn't including discerning voters, only the same sort of people who would vote for GWB because they thought he was a good ol' boy.
Being in my dotage already, I intend to abstain from voting.

Smarter, more capable and more aware are all good qualities. So is a good moral compass and a desire to truly do what's best for the whole country rather than a small segment of special interests.
People want what (they think) is best for their own interests. Right now, that's low taxes and false security from the evil Muslims.
and Cheez-its.
and our gub'mint incentive-alicious checks!
thanks W, it's gonna be the greatest depression evar!!!!
Not a single cent of my "incentive" check will be spent in the US... on the contrary, it will be wholly-spent in the world's most populous Muslim country. Thanks, W!
SMT:
When you think of it, most incentive checks will be going to a certain Muslim country via our gas tanks!
A large part of that list isn't that old. Sure, when you are ten years old, it seems like Hawai'i has been a US state forever, but come on. The next thing on this list will probably be the Vietnam War.
I'm not McCain supporter by any means, but I'm voting against him for more valid reasons than "OMG hes older than hawaii!!!"
Mr.K- you do realize this was not posted to influence anyone's vote, right?
My "incentive check" will go toward relieving, insofar as possible, the crippling debt which I wouldn't have if it weren't for Bush's economic policies.
I know that, Cheesy. I wasn't criticizing the post. I was criticizing the blog linked to in the post, which definitely was created to influence votes, and also clearly demonstrates the methods used by the blogger to determines who they'll vote for.
My incentive check (and my tax refund) was garnished by the government for a debt mr. meredithea racked up before we were even married. And, as a stay-at-home-dad, he made exactly zilch last year, so all of that refund came from me.
meredithea, perhaps you might go this route?
Q. I am filing a joint tax return with my spouse who has a past-due obligation. How can I ensure that I still get my share of our joint stimulus payment?A. In this situation, you are considered an injured spouse. To get your share of a joint income-tax refund, as well as your share of the stimulus payment, you can file Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation. You will get your share of these payments, and your spouse’s share will be applied to his or her past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support. Your allocation request will be processed more quickly if you attach Form 8379 to your regular 2007 federal income tax return. [New 3/25/08]

In McCain’s Court: "McCain plans to continue, and perhaps even accelerate, George W. Bush’s conservative counter-revolution at the Supreme Court".
I don't know who to believe regarding the whole torture/didn't-torture thing, but given how McCain has totally flip-flopped on what torture actually is, and what a complete failure he is as a human being based on how he treated his first wife...
OK, I do know who to believe.
I keed, I keed. Suffice to say that the truth lies somewhere between the two positions. Odd that the jailer comes off as a class act compared to this guy, though...
I was thinking recently that McCain is Bilbo: old, bumbling, a buffoon; then he turns really nasty at the drop of a hat.
I think I'm beginning to equate McCain more with Saruman. From Ye Olde Wikipedia: "In The Fellowship of the Ring, Elrond suggests that Saruman fell through studying the "arts of the Enemy" too closely; ... Tolkien later wrote that the Istari's chief temptation (and that to which Saruman fell) was impatience, leading to a desire to force others to do good, and then to a simple desire for power; ... In J.R.R. Tolkien : Author of the century, Shippey identifies Saruman as the best example in the book of what he calls 'wraithing', of individuals "'eaten up inside' by devotion to some abstraction", a distinctive 20th century view of evil that he attributes to Tolkien."
olderviciously senile in office.
