I gotta tell ya...I don't like this sort of suggestion or thread at all. It's deeply unfair and constitutes an unconscionable smear. I don't know how many times per day I mis-speak, but it's a few. To suggest a diagnosis of Alzheimers from these two instances (or three or four or eight) is morally and intellectually ugly. You didn't write it, I know. But you ought not to have posted it.


LOL It's not as bad as him fathering a black baby, now is it?


Has MCain released his medical records?


No, but it doesn't have to match the magnitude of that smear to still be unconscionable.


Wait, political ops are supposed to have a conscious?


Yes, darlin.

Good for you Bernie. She had a right to post it, but no right to expect that reasonable people would accept it without comment. Moreover the double standard here is itself laughably offensive.



Reasonable people without a sense of humor.


So you think its funny to attack a man or question his mental capability?
There is no excuse for your original comment, and you know it.


Yes, I think it's funny but also tragic that a dishonest philanderer with obvious mental problems is about to get the Republican nomination.

Anyway, there is nothing concrete yet to indicate McCain is suffering from Alzheimer's as far as I know.


I think it's PTSD.

I had to look up the word "unconscionable" to see if you spelled it correctly; you did. Did you know the spelling by heart?

Anyway, is it that some people don't appreciate McCain's strengths, or they just want the eventual Democratic nominee to be elected? I take all anti-McCain rhetoric with a big grain of salt.

Also, the comment by someone about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder seems questionable, since it is already 30 years past that stress. Can it really materialize three decades later? Unless that person was in 'Nam, how could that person make a valid comment about PTSD from that era?

A friend of mine, a Vietnam vet, was suffering from PTSD, if he didn't take his medication, he would wake up screaming, yes, thirty years later.

We will have suffered 8 years with a psychotic dry drunk in the White House. Can we survive another four years with someone with mental problems?

Even if I had the DSM-IV manual in front of me, I am not qualified to make any diagnosis.

As I mentioned on another thread, McCain can't even remember what religion he is. Is McCain still drinking?

McCain may not have Alzheimers but he is in the very high risk category.

Yes it was a tragedy when it happened a few years ago in the Democratic party, wasn't it?

I can't remember any Democratic philanderer with obvious mental problems about to get the Republican nomination. WTF are you talking about?

It is quite obvious from Roxxxanne's posts that an Obama presidency would indeed bring about much change, and hope.

The way his desciples have risen above the level of discourse that they have in encouraging to me.

How respectable.

You are doing a Coulter here. When you cross that line (dropping regard for truth or accuracy) you lose credibility for your claims and arguments in the future because the trust element loses its foundation.

Sort of... I worked it out as I typed it and figured I had it right. Up to the 'able', it's the same as the formation for 'unconscious' and that 'sci' root occurs all over the place in our language (science, for example). I expect our multi-lingual european friends here would tell us that it also appears in most or all of the Germanic languages. It's from the latin and has the meaning of 'to know'.

Is your knowledge based on the efficacy of the Canadian educational system? There's really no way, I believe, based on accent, to tell an English speaking Canadian from an American. I recently spoke to a customer service number, and asked where I was reaching. Nova Scotia. Hey, in my opinion, the customer service rep. sounded like someone who could have been from Ohio, Indiana, anywhere in the Midwest. If all Canadians decided to come to the States, no one would know where they went. They'd blend in so easily.

That's why we must stop them at the borders!

Why Canadians? They would be new citizens that needed no assimilation. Instant Americans. Can you not think of anything better?
