McSame should be tested for Alzheimer's Disease.
Having buried three family members who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease I have no problem recognizing the symptoms. McSame is confused and that is why.

Remember that Reagan was already suffering from the onset of the disease in his second term, Howard Baker and Nancy were really running the country. Time for the facts to see the light of day.

1. I could see him stepping down as the Nominee, citing "Health Concerns"
and the pukes going with someone else. This guy is a total loser.

2. This is seeming more and more likely as time goes on and McCain does not
seem to be hitting his stride or even enjoying the fray.

As far as Alzheimer's, my father has been on that nightmare ride for the past 5 years. If McCain has it, it's still in the early stages. But whatever it is, he simply doesn't seem up to the task.

5. Have you ever thought the same thing about George Bush? Seriously.
I feel for you greyghost, and your family members.

10. Bush might be a sociopath, worse than Alzheimer's.

8. Since Cheney will likely be in a McCain administration, this is a very serious concern.

9. Second term? I heard an historian who had gone over his diaries say that
Reagan began to display symptoms of the disease shortly after returning from the hospital after having been shot. That was at the very beginning of his first term.

Do you remember the strange way in which he lost it during his summation to the final debate when he was running for his second term? He was already in bad shape before successfully running against Mondale.

12. I Don't Think He's Taking Aricept
I don't hate him... I just want to defeat him... I do believe if he knew he had Alzheimer's Disease as evident by taking Aricept he wouldn't run for pres...

I do believe he loves his country too much to do that...

13. If he loved his country he wouldn't support Bush.
McCain's in it for himself.

You give him too much credit.

14.  I Think He's Terribly, Terribly Misguided
But I do think he loves his country...He just doesn't love it in a way that is recognizable to you and me...

A person would have to be a sociopath to know he has Alzheimer's Disease and want to be president...

15. I think what he endured in Vietnam should be a testament
to his love for this nation. I dislike the man but... he deserves some credit.

17. You'd think that, wouldn't you?
But his support for mistreating POWs under the Bush administration really undermines that logic.

18. Let his public persona speak for itself. The proof is in his speech and manner. nt
