McCain, taking the first step toward a 2008 White House bid, said on Thursday a return to principles of limited government and 'common sense conservatism' would carry Republicans back to power after last week's election drubbing REUTERS/Jason Reed (UNITED STATES)

1. He's "reinventing" himself. n/t

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

2. Too weird to be President

:freak:

[rhiannon55]

3. Is he trying to keep the alien life form within him

from breaking through? You know, like that guy in Men in Black?

[Altean Wanderer]

20. Yes, he's an alien shapeshifter ;-)

[Greybnk48]

4. Trying not to look his usual old, tired and angry self.

This guy's nuts.

[Fla Dem]

12. Exactly..he's a grumpy old man. n/t

[texas1928]

5. He took a big ol' handful of these.

[Kadie]

14. LOL

That'll do it.

6. Third pic: "sorry, I had the burrito for lunch"

Take it easy, tootie!

7. He's their 2008 nominee. Take it to the bank.

He's making all the right moves. He'll be 72 in '08; 76 in '12. If he can hack it at that age, then age shouldn't be a factor. But I have my doubts.

[Mind_your_head]

11. 72 y/o in '08??? Geebus that's just too OLD

to BEGIN a presidential term!!! Perhaps a nice Ambassador position somewhere would be a better choice for him.....

[Bucky]

13. Yes and no. For some people it would be and it's certainly a fair issue to raise

But 70 is no magic number. We've elected mentally addled goofballs as president who were in their mid 50s (give me a second and I can come up with an example), whereas many countries have had leaders in their 70s and 80s who continued to perform well in office. Think about the way Bob Hope was still truckin' along at 80. By 90 he was showing some wear and tear, but at 80 he was still in great form. François Mitterrand was 74, almost 75 when he became president. Four years later he was still sailing smooth and keeping his mistress busy.

I'm not saying it's likely, but it's not impossible for a septugenarian to be president. Just not that one.

[Mind_your_head]

15. Actually, I agree that it's definitely possible...

I just don't like McCain at 70 ..... I sincerely doubt I'll like him much better at 72 (as a choice for president)! lol

Peace,

8. McCain is acting like our CURRENT NUT CASE PREZ...........

"if IT worked for HIM, maybe IT will work for ME TOO!!"

[datadiva]

9. Maybe he thinks if he looks a stupid

as *ush he'll get elected. Ha

[Zensea]

10. Sorry, but ....

And I'm a huge fan of Howard Dean's and don't particularly like McCain at all.

All people can look odd if the camera catches them at a particular moment.

[Blackthorn]

16. A point lost on most people who post silly pictures as if it proves something.

[crim son]

17. Kadie, you forgot the rule.

No fun in GD! Remove those pictures immediately. :spank:

[Jim Warren]

18. Looks cranked up

either that or he's recently undergone a regime change.

[meisje]

19. took too much viagra?

[seabeyond]

21. not another one. i cannot have four more years of these kinds of

pictures. not to mention all the other shit, this alone should not allow it
