Who Hires A 72-year Old?

Republicans! It’s not about commitment to America! We all understand that McCain is committed to America. It’s not about that! It’s about making wise decisions.

Of course, your argument — or I should say, Guiliani’s argument — about Obama’s votes of “present,” and how executives aren’t allowed to vote “present.” That’s a fair argument.

But the rest of your argument, which was all based on the concept of looking at two resume and deciding who to hire — how many organizations are going to hire a 72-year old war veteran over a hungry, intelligent, and inspiring professional in his forties.

It’s not about experience. It’s about potential. And the potential of John McCain is, without a doubt, more of the same. Not even he disagrees with that.

Yes, there will be an attempt to improve healthcare, but it’ll be half-hearted, and it won’t get us anywhere.

Yes, there will be an attempt at energy independence, but it’ll consist more of marketing than it will of scientific development.

Yes, there will be an attempt to promote small business and create new jobs but it’ll consist of larger profit margins for the major corporations who shut out small businesses and who increase their revenues by sending jobs overseas. I believe that Republicans want trickle-down economics to work, but history proves the opposite.

With John McCain, there is no potential. There simply isn’t. With Obama, at least we have hope.
