Nobody that was alive then will forget the era of the post-3rd Reich disaster Adenauer recovery miracle.

McCain himself was scary enough he is a ready, shoot, aim whackoo. With his two amigos Graham and Ayotte advising him he would have been a bloody disaster.

And a probable carry - over of the Bush/Neocon cronies.

Hillary Clinton is not too old to run in 2016 and 2020 and serve as President from Jan. 20th, 2017 to Jan. 20th, 2025.

Any right winger that tries to play the age card against her is going to get bitched slapped by me.

Speaking of the the woman who could have been our Vice President, she said the following this weekend to the NRA convention:

"Come on! Enemies who would utterly annihilate America! They who'd obviously have information on plots, say to carry out jihad. Oh, but you can’t offend them, can’t make them feel uncomfortable -- not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists."

It's amazing that people still take this looney woman seriously, yet she got a standing ovation from the always frightened (and frightful) NRA bunch. I wonder if she baptized her own children by waterboarding.

This was an NRA convention. Referring to the attendees as "people" does extreme violence to that word.

Fun with the war emotion! Hate makes you enjoy the idea of hurting enemies.

Conservatives seems especially into this stuff.
