McCain Alzheimer's Check

Google Technorati del.icio.us digg reddit
Amid all these McCain mix-ups and mis-steps, many people have questioned whether he is merely senile or if he is trying to deceive people on purpose.  Either way this is a damning situation, but having seen alzheimers develop first hand in my grand-mother, I am pretty convinced John McCain is losing his mind...

It's not just his beady eyed stares when he gives those off the shelf talking points, it's more so the fact that he is making huge mistakes when telling anecdotes and reciting facts.  I have a strong suspicion that John McCain read Solzhenitsyn book 10 or 15 years ago, and somewhere down the line, he forgot that story was in a book, and thought that he experienced it in POW camp.  Now, it might be easy for one to say that POW's will experience nightmares, dreams or hallucinations about their experience in the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but as much as McCain is wearing his time as a prisoner on his sleeve, I would be hardpressed to say that he is still suffering from PTSD today.  All this being said, I find it hard to believe that one could go through torture and imprisonment, and forget what actually happened to you, and what you read in a book...that is unless your brain is starting to fade away.  I do believe that if John McCain got his brain checked out, he would show the first signs of dementia, if not early signs of alzheimers.  He looks like someone dresses him, and then tells him,"if you go out on stage and say these things, all 2,000 of those people out there will love you Johnny".  An d that gets that little pander bear heart all bubbling and excited, and McCain just goes out and there's all these bright lights, and every time he says something from th at day's designated talking point list, he gets a few angry shouts of support from the people who are still bitter about Obama's statements in Pennsylvania.  Sometimes, he for gets what he's talking about in the middle of the sentence, so he says,"My friends", to make it seem like he's starting a new sentence.  How many times has he attacked Obama's voting record, and then we find out he attacked his own vote... I'm not sayin anything...

He's lying AND he's losing it.

Seriously, my mom is also in the first stages of dementia and you are right.  It might not be Alzheimers but when you get old you just aren't as sharp anymore.  It's harder to assimilate new information.

I can't believe that anyone with older parents would be willing to vote for this dude.

I noticed that too after I posted...It's a hard subject to talk about without feeling a little bad for the dude, but you shouldn't have to feel bad for your president because of the state of his mental health...

You're still talking about Jeremiah Wright...If you didn't know there were 54 primary elections...54 and 57 is a huge mistake... kind of like Sunni and Shiite right?  if you want to start naming verbal mistakes, John McCain isn't going to win this one buddy.  Try again next time.
