Many Voters Concerned About McCain's Health and Age

If you've seen pictures of John McCain in recent days, you'll notice that he doesn't look well. As a 72 year old man on a rigorous campaign schedule, he looks tired and old. His four bouts with cancer, leave many people wondering if he could survive an entire term. He is making gaffes (the interview about Spain) and appears confused. Do you really think that McCain is fully capable and healthy enough to be President? I don't think so.

What does McCain have to offer us that is new and fresh? Nothing. McCain has voted to supported the policies of George W. Bush 90% of the time. Do you really think that John McCain is going to change? Do you know any 72 year old men who have suddenly changed their philosophy or beliefs?

As a woman, I am highly insulted that McCain doesn't believe that women deserve equal pay. He said women need more training and education. McCain might not realize that there are many women who are the primary breadwinners in their families. However, John McCain believes that despite a woman's education and work experience, she does not deserve the same pay as a man with similar education and experience.

McCain is also against a woman having the right to her own reproductive freedom. Is this another case where McCain believes that women aren't smart enough to make their own decisions?

* Did you know that Alaska has the highest sexual assault rate in the country? (DailyIowan) What has Sarah Palin done to decrease it? It appears nothing. What about this "Troopergate" scandal? What are Sarah and Todd Palin trying to hide? Why are McCain's operatives working in Alaska to delay the investigation? I thought it was the 'straight talk' campaign.

Our country has plenty of problems in front of us--- the financial markets, record unemployment, Bush's Iraq war, a huge deficit, our crumbling infrastructure, homelessness, poverty, the foreclosure crisis, etc., etc., etc. By electing Bush's primary cheerleader, John McCain, our country will continue to wallow in these problems. It is time for change and new ideas. It is time for Obama-Biden.
