For all of you 'youngsters' out there...you might be interested to know that AARP magazine Sept/Oct issue published the results of a questionnaire that they sent to each presumptive presidential candidate...on issues that AARP membership might want to know the candidates positions on...As you would expect, Barack gave thoughtful answers and marked the circles to indicate positions on issues. McCain declined to mark any circles.

Therefore, I wrote the Editor and said the following:

Thank you for publishing the candidates' responses to your questionnaire. It
should surprise no one that John McCain declined to respond. I hope that gives
the readership an idea of his 'Straight Talk' and his courage to put his
opinions on the line for people to examine. He is a Senator from MY state and I
can say that his refusal to complete this questionnaire is characteristic of how
he represents his constituents in Arizona. He has the worst voting attendance
record of any Senator. He just doesn't show up most of the time.
