Yeah, unless he had some disease that prevented him from doing his job, but that's a different matter altogether. If he's healthy, let him run.

Yes it's called age discrimination no different than any other discrimination


Joe from WI
Yes it is. If a 90 year old man was physically and mentally fit, he should be allowed to be President.


SH3!Bii
it depends.
its important that our president for possibly eight years is young enough to keep up with his duty as president.
its always a bit rude to say that mccin is to old to be in the white house.but its almost like saying (no offence) obama is too black to be in the white house. not trying to sound racist but thats a comparison.

No....first of all he's not applying for a position, he's being elected. Second, although you can't "discriminate" against someone based on their age you are allowed common sense. Age is a factor in some positions. This is why there are age limits on joining the military, etc. and why you don't see any elderly active commercial airline pilots.

Legally, no, since you're not actually discriminating against him by simply saying that he's old.

If you are saying it because of his age, yes! I think he is to old because of his ideas and way of thinking!


kuroda_ryu
yes

yes but i stll agree with you


thebigshowernie
No. He is going to be the leader of the country for 4 years so it is important that he is young enough that there is a good chance he will stay alive.

Yes.

Still, I suggest we really weigh his VP candidate, because we may need him or her.
