a town hall meeting for either one of the nominees, what question would you ask them?

For Obama - What happens in Iraq if you pull the troops out the first year and what would have to happen for you to resend the troops back in?

Well, I don't know what he would exactly say, but yesterday in his speech he stated that he wants to bring the troops home and have Iraq to start to take the initiative and try and stand on their own. And that sending any troops back would have to be a last resort.

Sen. McCain, Can you inform the American citizenry about what the federal reserve system does and what benefits the privatization of our money has presented to this nation?

OBAMA...Will you defend our nation militarily if we are attacked again? What will do you on the war on terror? Will you stop funding to nations that harbor terrorists?

McCain...When will you stop the wishy wshy politics & be a real republican?

Sen. McCain, when will you stop being a Bush Jr. TOOL and start thinking for yourself again?

Typical, I can't believe the lack of serious response to this thread. No one seems to have any questions for Obama or McCain.

one question, needed to be answered by both.


As President of the united States, what will you do, to cause the different political parties (rep, dem, lib, cons. etc.) to start working as a team, instead of against each other? In other words, what are you going to do to ensure that our leaders in government are acting as responsible, and mature adults, who think things through before they say yeah or neigh, and do things for the better good, instead of for their own agendas? What are you going to do to ensure compromise on some issues, instead of outright refusal simply because it is the opposite team?

John McCain: You realize, if you are elected, you will be the oldest man ever elected to the Presidency of the United States: Do you think this will effect your abilty to lead this country in any way shape fashion or form? (He will be 71 years old if elected and finish his term at the age of 75)

Do you think that former Senator Phil Graham could be a liability come November considering his tract record on economical issues?



Barack Obama: You are a Charasmatic human being but you are only 46 and you expierience consists of 9 years in the State (Illinois) legislature and 4 in the US Senate, are u capable of handling the fundamentals in running the Big Buisness end of this country?

Do you think that you can take this country and put it back on the path of Freedom and make this place a peacefull, tranquil place to live and raise our children?

In both questions, you emphasize age (either physical age, or time in politics). WHAT THE HELL DOES AGE HAVE TO DAO WITH ANYTHING?!!!!

As far as Nominee Mcain goes, legal minimum age for presidency is 35, and there is no limit. To suggest he might be too old for th eoffice is age discrimination.

In Obama's case, no he does not have as much "experience" in politics as others. However he is of age (older than 34), and as far as I am concerned,m less time in politics means he may well be less jaded, and definitely has had less time to **** up as much as older nominees have.

get off the ole bench that "younguns are too wet behind the ears to do anything properly", and the ole saw that "eh, whatcha gonna do, gum em to death?". Age has absolutely nothing to do with politics, except insofar as who has had a longer time in getting more deceitful and dishonest.

Age has alot to do with it, there is legitstation up for debate it atleast 9 states that i can recall, that they are trying to make senior citizens over the age of 70, retake the drivers test.

Age has alot to do with personal beliefs, each Generation has there own ideas,

I personally think that this country needs to be infused with some Youthfull exuberince and we need to get away from the fundamentalistic bull crap,

Ever heard of the term, old and outdated, People Throw away a computer because its a couple years old and its isnt the new and improved model, i think politicians need to follow that same path

Ok, I can agree with a lot fo what you said as I ten d to hink the same way (why throw somethign out (like a computer) just cause it isnt new?

I also agree that after a certain age, people should have to retake the drivers test AND THE VISION TEST EVERY YEAR, not just every 8 years or so. And this has nothing to do with age itself, just the simple fact that as yuo get older, your physical senses and capabilities diminish. Yes this is a differetn ration fro every person, but it is an extreme issue when you are talking about being in control of a 2 or 3 ton piece of steel moving at high speeds.

I also agree that age has a lot to do with personal beliefs. For example, a younger group will TEND to believe that there is nothing wrong with having somethign to drink while your out, and then driving soon after,a s long as you do not over imbibe. An older group though tends to think otherwise.

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean someones age has anything to do with wether or not they would make an effective president. A younger age has some good points towards it (such as less likely to die during presidential term due to health). An older age has some major benefits as well, such as being wiser (you would hope at least), and mroe experienced.

What we have to do is look at both candidates, without using age as a factor, and decide which one is likely to bring more benefits to the office, rather than which one is more likely to bring more deficits.

You made my point and i do appreciate that to quote u Dan, "And this has nothing to do with age itself, just the simple fact that as yuo get older, your physical senses and capabilities diminish"


Capabilities like coming to reality and taking this country in the right direction and TOTALLY OVERHAULING the Heath Care system and getting us out of that DEATH trap in Iraq. Just to state a few

John McCains views are what is expected of a man from his Generation and are NOT what this country needs or will ever need again!!

I agree with you that his views and beliefs are nto what this country needs. however you can not sit there and claim that his views are this way because he is 74(?) years of age. His views are this way, imo, because he is an ass. Not because he is 74.

This, like others, is a defining moment in history.

We can vote for a continuation of the present administration and let the corporate lobbyists, multinationals, cronies, crooks and lairs run this country, or we can vote for a change in direction.

I'm for a change in direction.

Because I love this country, but believe it is on a collision course.

Our Republic must be steered in a different direction if it is to survive.
