In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: John McCain Announces He Will Seek Sixth Senate Term In 2016, At Age 80 [View all]Scott6113
(56 posts)7. I don't object to his age.
And to do so based on a number is just another form of prejudice. I do think he has an anger problem, and has had it since his POW release if not before. That isn't age. I do think he has an odd proclivity for a certain female appearance. I generally disapprove of his politics, but occasionally I find myself agreeing with him. Like "Russia isn't a country it's a gas station."
Should he retire? Yes. Do I want to see other old people retire? No, not if they're vital and can do some good. That's key. Like Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
