When William Harrison ran for President in 1840, he used the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" to remind people of his heroism during the battle. Is McCain any less tacky?

The subtle jab at his age was delicately placed. Also, he is a withering old bastard.

Yeah right, a John McCain hatched job...McCain can no more change his age than Obama can hide the fact that he's a fire breathing liberal.
****
Ok yeah,it was cool when Lurch aka John Kerry did it (every five seconds) in the last election. Now it's tacky when McCain does it.
****
I don't think attacks are going to fly in this election. I think the guy with the best energy and economic policy is going to win this one..

With Bushes legacy, all Obama has to do is show up on Election Day and he's got it in the bag! I don't know if he'll do any better than the Republicans but then again, how hard can it be to better the last eight years of Bush!

Exactly.
Um by the way, have you people actually tried listening or watching McCain with an open mind? Probably not.
If you did, you'd know that John McCain is actually very humble about his service. It is the media and the people who SUPPORT him who tout his 'heroism'.

John Kerry on the other hand made SURE to remind us in EVERY SPEECH about his heroism during Vietnam, and you know what, i STILL love and respect John Kerry. Why? Because these men really ARE heroes.

When did we stop believing in Heroes? I mean, how bad has this world become, how cynical and sterile that more people look for ways to downplay or dismiss people we USED to idolize for their deeds?

I guess it's true. The only thing people love more than a hero is to watch a hero FALL. They love to be pessimists. We live in a world where people like to look at the dark side and embrace the anti-hero. look at the new batman movie.. more people are more excited about how AWESOME the "joker" is, rather than how great the HERO is. We glorify those who we should despise for BEING villians.

It's so sad. Very sad that we cant see past a man's heroic service and respect him without trying to find ways to detract from it, especially since i doubt most of McCain's critics have ever done anything worthy of note, and never will.

The new adage is true:
There ARE no more heroes.
Just HATERS.

"Senator Obama is a young man in his 40s, who is more a reflection of America in the 21st century. He is Internet savvy, a world traveler and knows how to use My Space to his advantage."

i had diarrhea spooning out of my dick
at the "myspace" part of that ill written toilet paper roller article. omg stop posting this politically correct shit.
john mccain has never touted his war hero status as dingo dango and the other socialist demNAZI'S have. but on the other hand there is cnn and msnbc saying WAR HERO WAR HERO WAR HERO

^ Your comment on McCain not touting his war image is patently wrong and can be seen to be wrong by anyone with even a rudimentary ability to use the internet... just google "McCain touts war hero".

The thing that worries me about McCain is his flip-flopping political opportunism. Taking credit for the GI Bill which he opposed and turning his back on an immigration bill that he introduced are but two recent examples.

There's also his temper, which is apparently the stuff of legend and has led him to become one of the most disliked guys on The Hill. I dunno about you, but I'd prefer it if the most powerful man on the planet were not someone who flew off the handle at the sign of any opposition or counter-opinions.

No, I'm asking that he behave like a rational man and doesn't have a temper tatrum just because other people have opposing views. Its a sign of strength of character and a well rounded personality to show respect to others when their opinions differ from your own. Even when their opinions are incoherent and arguments based on supposition.

I'm not asking for someone who's pussy whipped, I'm asking for someone who has more control over their temper than a 4 year old child.

If we were discussing this in person, which would you prefer, that I listen to your opinions and counter them with a reasoned response, or that I grab you violently by the collar, drag you up to my face and shout at you to shut the fuck up? McCain has done the latter while on a dimplomatic mission!

I like strong leaders, but I like my leaders to be intelligent enough to know how to control themselves. How can you trust a man to be measured with his use of the armed forces of the world's only superpower when he can't do the same for his temper.

Margaret Thatcher was a strong leader, but it was her successor John Major, a quiet, thoughtful man, a figure ridiculed by the British press for being weak and pussy-whipped, who entered into discussions with Sinn Feinn/IRA and paved the way to the Belfast Agreement and peace in Northern Ireland.

You've already had 8 years of a man who shoots from the hip and as a result you're bogged down in two wars, endured thousands of US and allied deaths, and blown a budget surplus and created the greatest deficit in US history, as well as squandered the goodwill and unity the world showed to the US after 9/11..

Ok, ladies, and some of you gents, this is for you.At some point in time EVERY guy has cum too soon. And it IS because he has a problem; over stimulation.Next to basement dwellers, married men have one of the worst sex lives. For married men it's a case of familiarity breeding contempt. For the basement dwellers, it's just lack of social skills and the sight of real live boobs.Women, if a guy cums quickly, it's a sign that he's very anxious to rock your thigh clam a...
