Not Just Too Old: Too Wrong on Everything

TeddySanFran at Firedoglake writes a post that warms our heart:

There are a lot of reasons not to elect St McCain, reasons we must talk up, press forward, and ensure voters understand. His campaign is infested with lobbyists. His understanding of economics does not surpass that of a third-grader. He may be a kept man. He embraces a man who libeled his own family to defeat him in the South Carolina GOP primary in 2000.

McCain wants young Americans to continue to fight and die in a war America was lied into, for reasons not yet made clear to us. He doesn't understand our enemies: who they are, whom their allies are, where they re-up, and why they fight. He wants America to fight more wars, against more enemies, for reasons that remain murky and poorly explained.

McCain voted for torture. McCain opposed a minimum wage increase. McCain voted against making the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr,'s birthday a national holiday and then fought it becoming a state holiday in Arizona. McCain won't support the Twenty-First Century GI Bill of Rights because, like the Bush Administration, he thinks it gives service-members too many reasons to leave the military.

McCain hasn't released his medical records, as he promised he would. His economic team is headed by the folks who brought America the Enron debacle and de-regulated our financial sector, so that we have this current mess uppermost in our minds, even though he doesn't. He has kissed the rings of the scariest preachers in America -- publicly changed his views of them and then openly sought their political endorsement.

[But] for when I have time for only two words to describe why John McCain should not be elected President, these two small words work just fine for me: too old.
