Should he know how to use one? Probably, I suppose. Is it detrimental to a presidency? Probably not. There are lots of other, more valid reasons not to vote for McCain. I'm sure a president has loads of technology advisors equipped to handle any technology-driven requirements of the job. However I do think the poster who brought up that he cannot relate to our generation made a good point. But again, so many other reasons not to vote for the man, not sure this one rates that high.

If McCain doesn't learn to use a computer, how is he going to find Homoerotic A-Team Fan Fiction?

He's a damn foreigner trying to steal the election. Who cares where he gets his homoerotic A-Team fan fiction?

He was most certainly "natural born". He surely wasn't hatched.

How do you know he wasn't a C section?

I'm gonna have to challenge you on this one. McCain was born on a Naval Station in Panama, and Military bases are considered to be U.S. sovereign land.

i don't generally post in these types of threads, but my brother was telling me about this a couple weeks ago and i found it fairly interesting.

according to http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/11/us/politics/11mccain.html?_r=1&oref=slogin :

The law conferred citizenship on children of American parents born in the Canal Zone after 1904, and it made John McCain a citizen just before his first birthday. But the law came too late, Professor Chin argued, to make Mr. McCain a natural-born citizen.

It's preposterous that a technicality like this can make a difference in an advanced democracy.

All I have to say is simply, I agree with this statement by Professor Chin whole heartedly.

While I disagree with the idea that he is not a "natural born citizen" since his parents were in the military and therefore, he SHOULD be considered a natural born citizen no matter what military base he was born on... I don't think it's preposterous at all. If we change the constitution to suit McCain, we are on a slippery slope. You never know, you might wake up one day and find Arnold Schwarzennager (sp?) president of the U.S. and that scares the shit out of me. Even moreso than having another republican in office who supports the war.

Would you prefer a Democrat that would leave Iraq in defeat for political gain?

I support the war in Iraq. It's one of the main reasons I'm talking to my air force recruiter (Besides free college, woot).

I'm not sure what you mean by "defeat" since by definition of the Iraq war, we really aren't there to "win" or "lose" because what exactly are we gaining over there if we "win"? But yes, I'd definitely rather have a democrat in office. I don't expect someone to pull out willy-nilly. But it's time to start taking the steps to get us out of there. I'm tired of spending my money on a needless, senseless war.

At this point I would prefer just about ANYone that would put an end to the nonsense in Iraq regardless of their political ideology.

The point where any humanitarian sub-motive argument might fly is long past and when you factor in all the lies coupled with the obvious good-old-boy profiteering schemes that dominate the whole affair, I think this campaign is one of the biggest hoaxes ever.

Needless, senseless war is one of the best ways to keep a population under the thumb of the government. Fear is so powerful.

Very true. I never expect it to be willy-nilly either. That way lies having to do laundry and possibly having to wash your hair.
