Do you think we will ever have term limits on senators?
Do you think it would be unethical to pose an age limit on elected officials?

There has to be a point were you can no longer do the job.

John McCain won't retire until we "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." He wants WAR! dang it, and he wants it NOW!

Hearing him talk on various political shows I do not believe he shows signs of his age being a problem. I know many who don't like his views, but they wouldn't like them were he 20 years younger.

If I were him I'd retire and enjoy my millions while I still had my health. Ultimately it will be up to the citizens of Arizona to decide.

One day he'll succeed in getting all of Mexico amnesty. Then he can retire.

Mr. McCain was attempting a joke, with his "bomb bomb bomb iran" comment. He was referencing the Beach Boys' number, "Barbara Ann", when he made it.

If you saw the video you can see by the expression on the senator's face that he thought it was hilarious.

Maybe it wasn't as amusing as McCain thought it was, but it wasn't a serious treatise on his view of foreign policy on Iran.

I'm not against McCain on age, it is that he is coming onto what, his fourth or fifth term.
