Does age really matter?

Am I too old? Am I too old to be your dog? When will I be too old?
These are just some of the questions I ponder as I lay around all day.

The presidential race is again upon us, even if the fodder started earlier this cycle. When John McCain was running the Dems cast him as too old. Now it looks like Hillary will run and she is close to the age he was at the time. Bet they won't talk about her age or the plastic surgery procedures she has had.

I don't think age should matter. I hope my humans appreciate my seasoned outlook on life as the years go by. Of course I am still in my prime at the age of 3, which to some is 21 years of age in human life. Being this young lets me get away with more than say a 9 or 10 year old dog who should know better.

But....in the political arena a different standard is applied. Age becomes an issue when it is not your candidate.

I think age should only be an issue when you have been in politics too long. Enough is enough. We have seen you, we have heard you, now go home and chew on your treats like the rest of us!

We need new faces, new ideas, and more importantly someone who is respected by their peers with Business and Management successes! We surely don't need another politician who can't survive without being in the spotlight or someone without any experience at all. Our last 6+ years has shown that the inexperienced liars will only hinder progress for this great nation. We probably need the person who doesn't really want the job, but who would be great at it.

It's time for something new.
