1. I stopped worrying about hurting the feelings of Republicans 8 years ago.
McCain is more than a doddering old fool- actually I think he's sort of an asshole.

3. Rude enough.
There are real issues that we could be focusing on...like his desire to stay at war in the ME.

tell the difference between a Sunni and a Shia, or between Iran and Iraq for that matter...

7. The world might be a different place if someone had the guts to say it about Reagan.
By the second half of his administration, he clearly was unfit to run our country and nobody had the guts to do anything about it.

another RW Shill who has some "time in detention camp" who makes him sound GREAT to the Repug CHICKEN HAWKS! He's a Fool and probably was a TRAITOR in his time in Hanoi Hilton...but don't expect anyone to ever talk about that.

He's the candidate who has the largest lifetime of experience, and has crossed the threshold of CIC long before anyone has.

12. One can be rude and truthful at the same time.
It'd be like loudly pointing out a widow who farted at her husband's funeral. :p

13. When a person runs for office...
They have to expect to be dragged through the mud. If they can't take that, they surely can't take holding such an important and stressful office.

17. Among my family I might
call him a doddering old fool. And not particularly because I believe he's all 3 of those things put together, at least not 100% of the time.
Respect and common courtesy dictate that I could not say that about him in public or to his face or to anyone who might put a story out about it or who might have a tape recorder. :)

So, I voted "other."

19. Tacky to insult someone cause of their age
everyone gets old (if they're lucky), it's something you can't help.
