While the old folks are found more in the Republican party than the Democratic party,

John Conyers is 85
Louise Slaughter will be 85 in August
Charlue Rangel will be 84 next month
Sander Levin will be 83 this year.
Dianne Feinstien will be 81, next month, and Carl Levin will be 80, next month too.
Jay Rockefeller, will be 77 next month.
Tom Harkin is 74, as is Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Patrick Leahy
With Barbara Boxer right behind them @ 73
There is enough senility in the Democrat party to go around.
What Dole is or how he thinks has nothing to do with the Tea Party; it has more to do with his age and his not understanding today's politics. I really don't think many people really care what he thinks. He deserves our respect for his years of service to our country but we do not have to put a lot into what he might have to say about the present group of possible Pres. candidates.
I'm with you on the respect issue. However, the America-haters in the Tea Party aren't going to see it the same way.

Uh- I was talking about the voters, not the Congressional members.
Nice try, though.
Since all Congressmen have to be of a minimum age, and since incumbents are most often re-elected, I'm sure that the average age of Congress is older than the national average age.
Yes he did! He nearly died from his war wounds, and spent the rest of his life with one crippled hand and arm.
I think McCain is the only Congressman left who has serious war wound disability now, but if I'm wrong, I'll be the first to salute anyone who's now seated.
