1. He looks much older than 72
If I didn't know his age I'd pick mid-80's.

23. I've seen healthier looking corpses.
Seriously. The guy will not even make it to the election. Who will stand in for Palin as Vice President? I figure it will be Mittens. Any bets? Hmmm?

25. Way older than 72!
He looks very unhealthy and feeble. Everytime he hugs someone it looks like they're holding him up to keep from falling over. Same as when Cindy holds his arm.

Think of Paul McCartney, Dustin Hoffman and others. They are not out of it like McCain is.
He seriously is not fit to lead.

How sad for him.
Outside campaigning, what can he his family point to in his record that is admirable?

I suspect if he were to die soon, his eulogy would concentrate more on his military service and less on his career in the Senate.

So sad.

12. He looks like an old man in poor health who is stressed to dangerous levels.
If his doctors aren't warning him, they should.

13. He's 72 years old and keeping an insane schedule
He's tired - which is one big reason why he's not up to the job regardless of his politics.

14. politics aside
he does look like he is deteriorating right before our eyes. Look at that photo with his hands balled into a fist, that's usually a pain response.

19. I honestly think McCain is ill. I don't know if it's pride or what but
I think that deep inside he knows he shouldn't win and won't win. I think he is sick, in pain, deteriorating mentally etc. I still don't understand what that red scratch on his face was the other day.

Also, If Palin says "Palin and McCain Administration" again....she will be sporting a bruise or have her arm in a sling.

20. OCT SUPPRIZE IS ..McSame drops out, and fellow Dominionist "The Huckster" is VP.. >LINK>>
http://doggo.tripod.com/doggchrisdomin.html

"..snip...Leo Strauss was born in 1899 and died in 1973. ... He is most famous for resuscitating Machiavelli and introducing his principles as the guiding philosophy of the neo-conservative movement. ... More than any other man, Strauss breathed upon conservatism, inspiring it to rise from its atrophied condition and its natural dislike of change and to embrace an unbounded new political ideology that rides on the back of a revolutionary steed, hailing even radical change; hence the name Neo-Conservatives.

Significantly, Dominionism is a form of Social Darwinism.<48> It inherently includes the religious belief that wealth-power is a sign of God’s election. That is, out of the masses of people and the multitude of nations, wealth, in and of itself, is thought to indicate God’s approval on men and nations whereas poverty and sickness reflect God’s disapproval.

(It was not until I read this article that I realized that this is a fundamental tenet of Dominionists.

Worldly wealth and power are signs of God's favor -- to attempt to limit or decrease one's wealth and power is to disrespect God.

On the contrary, God's elect on Earth are called upon to increase their wealth and power.

It is not sufficient for a man to be a millionaire, or for a country to have sovereignty within its borders -- a man must strive to increase his wealth as much as possible, and a Dominionist government's behavior toward its neighbors must be "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity".

Furthermore, any attempt to decrease a person's or a country's wealth and power -- to take from the rich to give to the poor, to reduce military spending and power -- is a direct attack on God.)

If “Secular Humanists are the greatest threat to Christianity the world has ever known,” as theologian Francis Schaeffer claimed, then who are the Humanists? According to Dominionists, humanists are the folks who allow or encourage licentious behavior in America. They are the undisciplined revelers.

Put all the enemies of the Dominionists together, boil them down to liquid and bake them into the one single most highly derided and contaminated individual known to man, and you will have before you an image of the quintessential “liberal” -- one of those folks who wants to give liberally to the poor and needy -- who desires the welfare and happiness of all Americans -- who insists on safety regulations for your protection and who desires the preservation of your values -- those damnable people are the folks that must be reduced to powerlessness -- or worse: extinction. ...snip"


snip"..."Christian Reconstructionism calls for a system that is both radically decentralized, with most government functions devolved to the county level, and socially totalitarian (this strikes me as an odd phrase; and Google, too, apparently. I suppose it is meant to say that social standards/"morality" will, in contrast with the government functions just mentioned, be centralized/centrally dictated and not be left to local preferrence.) It calls for the death penalty for homosexuals, abortion doctors and women guilty of "unchastity before marriage," among other moral crimes. To be fair, Phillips told me that 'just because a crime is capital doesn't mean you must impose the death penalty. It means it's an option.' Public humiliation, he said, could sometimes be used instead.

snip.."Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality.' ..snip


Sarah is a Dominionist.. McSame will drop out in oct and fellow Dominionist 'The Huckster" will become her VP

21. Old, tired, not in the best of health
He and Cindy have more money than God, I never got why he is putting himself through this. He's 72 yrs old, he should be retiring and spending the rest of his days relaxing, enjoying his family, and chilling in one of his 9 houses. Incomprehensible to me as to why he is even doing this. It's brutal for ppl half his age...
