In Their Own Words
Earlier this month, Senators McCain and Obama gave AARP an exclusive and candid interview. Both Senators revealed their stance on important issues such as health care and financial security, but they also went so far as to lay out their individual plans on how they would bring about real change. Along with their differences on the issues, the Senators also discussed the differences in their age and how that is affecting the race. Make sure to read Senator McCains http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/politics/articles/aarp_interview_with.html and Senator Obamas http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/politics/articles/wo10_obama.html complete interviews to get the real scoop on their policies!

Finally a reason lacking all sense of political humor and silliness for why we should all vote for John McCain: old people are frugal.
Times are tight and if you havent noticed the governments addiction to money is worse then Lindsey Lohans addiction to attention, and at least once in awhile we get something out of the Fed. Then again, the way Lohan has gotten around Im not so sure Id even want her hand touching my wedding tackle. I would even go as far as to make her put on dishwashing gloves to be safe. Might be a little rough but I digress.
First off, old people place a lot more value on money then the rest of us. They remember when things like a hamburger cost a quarter, or when someone had to eat the leather of their shoes to survive in the Great Depression. Waiters and waitresses wince whenever the bill goes to Grandpa. Look at how many old timers use those rubber coin purses that they have to squeeze to access all their pennies.
Usually there are dimes in the purse too but they used them all on a grandson in one of those slotted birthday cards. VOTE John McCain and Sarah Palin Nov. 4, 2008, Click Here http://www.johnmccain.com thanks!
