Can we please stop the ageism some people have. Age is a relative thing and immaterial [View all]

This "she is too old" (referring both to Hillary and Elizabeth Warren as they are the same age) and Joe Biden is as bad as any other remark about an "ism"

(i.e. sexism, homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, etc.)

and besides todays 70 is like being 40 or 50

(and young people like Ryan well, they are the ones with some screwy ideas anyhow
LOL)

Golda Meir created history at what some here consider (HORRORS) an older age

besides, it reminds me of how John Edwards groupies used to deride me and my board name who it was named after Bob Graham as being too damn old to be VP in 2004.
Had he been the VP instead of the fraud Edwards was, we would have won Florida and many other states in 2004 (same in 2000, if Graham had been picked we would have won Florida so big it couldn't have been stolen)

so please stop with the "she is too old" bullshit.
