My old (Mccain's age) neighbor who is a nearly lifelong Republican is currently pissing barbed wire over this. He was barely on Mccain's side as it was and that was just to the military reasoning, he to is a veteran. He already feels the Republican party is stealing his rights (do not even try to argue this with him). He has beyond issues with oil companies and their hands in politics as well. He has never missed voting for as long as he can remember, even small local elections.
He knows his own age and mortality and relates that to McCain too. He is now officially very unsure of whom he will be voting for. He does have some racial issues but at the same time speaks of several people he either served with or worked with of other races very fondly, yet drops the slang terms every so often. On flip side he is a multi divorced man and has no plans what so ever to be taking orders from any woman. Do not even bring up such things as women in combat with him.
He said today that he now has to actually hear out what the negro has to say about running the country so he can make up his mind, but as of today if given the choice between a chick and a negro he would take the negro.
I am curious how many older Republicans feel the same way. We all know seniors vote a lot.
