Democratic Operative Attacks McCain on Age

by Blue Star Beth — published on April 18th, 2008

Despite Howard Dean, Democratic National Committee Chairman and Overall Jackass, officially stating the democrats would not use John McCain’s age as an issue in the presidential race, they are. Of course, we know that Howard Dean has almost no credibility with anyone and certainly doesn’t have any control over the democratic party … but still. He really should quit making statements because when everyone ignores him and does whatever they want anyway it just makes him look even sillier than he already looks.

Steve Rosenthal is a senior democratic operative and he has started a website for the specific purpose of making fun of McCain’s age. The website is called ‘Younger than McCain’ (and no I’m not linking it). Right now it has one video that lists things that are younger than McCain. As you can imagine, they are coming up with stuff like the Golden Gate Bridge, Coke in a can and the like. Har-de-har-har

Keep in mind that Rosenthal is a former political director of the AFL-CIO and executive director of America Coming Together, an organization specifically set up to provide soft money for the 2004 presidential race. He is now a partner in The Organizing Group.

This comes right after the 75-year-old Saboteur John Murtha made his statements about John McCain being too old while he was introducing Hillary Clinton to speak to a group of union members.

The site is not funny as Mr. Rosenthal states its intended to be. Instead, it comes across as mean-spirited, negative and juvenile. Pretty much in line with the democratic party as a whole.

The democrats hope to make a contrast between John McCain and democratic nominee in waiting Barack Obama. They think that the 30 year age difference between the two will be striking and will work in their favor. I agree, the difference between the two WILL be striking, but not because of the age.

John McCain is not afraid of anything. Barack Obama is still whining that he got asked some difficult questions at a debate last night and is refusing to do another debate. He’s taking his ball and going home :pout:. Yes. There’s a huge difference between the two. The more they both talk the more obvious the differences are.

    I gotta say, when I first heard how old McCain is, I was surprised. I mean, he looks younger IMO. Contrast that with Murtha, who I think looks older than he actually is. :mrgreen:

    And the whole age issue doesn’t really matter to me. It depends on whether or not he’s healthy enough to do the job, and it certainly seems like he is.

    As for Rosenthal’s apparent ‘humor,’ it sounds like the jokes are not only older than McCain, but also older than Methuselah.
