There are cries of outrage over the racism and sexism that are supposedly dominating the nominating process in the Democratic Party.

White people won’t vote for Barack Obama because he’s black. I guess we’re supposed to use West Virginia as our star witness to prove this point, but never call Idaho to the stand. (I know … the people in Idaho have more formal education and those pieces of paper make them more enlightened and able to choose a leader. We need to pity those poor, simple folks of West Virginia who don’t understand what is best for them.)

The sexist pigs who run this misogynistic society won’t vote for Hillary Clinton because she doesn’t have a pair and men enjoy making comments like, “I don’t trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die” while spitting and grabbing their crotches.

So, let’s all lament the racist and sexist nature of our country. At the same time, however, bias against the elders of our population is downright legitimate and acceptable.

John McCain can’t run our country … he’s almost 72 years old! Do you hear that, senior citizens across the land? The Democrats want to put you out to pasture. You can no longer be trusted to make important decisions. Your years of experience are not valued. You are senile and out of touch. You could die at any moment. Now, go away quietly and let the younger people run this country. Just worry about your upcoming bridge tournament and what time the mail is going to arrive. There, there now. Isn’t that better?

John McCain is in good health and wore out the much younger reporters who were following him on the campaign trail during the Republican primaries. He has not given any evidence that should make us fearful of his age. Yet, liberal pundits everywhere love to mock that he’s “older than color TV” and has “senior moments”.

So, will Democrats use McCain’s age against him? You shouldn’t vote for him simply due to the year of his birth? How is that any different than not voting for someone based on race or gender?
