Facts:
(1) McCain is nearly 72
(2) His recently released medical records say nothing about his mental condition
(3) Almost all men of his age show significant slowing of their mental faculties
(4) He's showing apparently diagnostically significant signs of dementia or some similar condition - see after the fold
(5) The MSM and the establishment seem to be happy to push a guy into the WH who probably isn't fit on mental health grounds to complete one term

And I didn't even mention the fact that most forms of dementia are accompanied by a tendency toward irascibility and loss of emotional self-control

    • This really is an issue that bears scrutiny. I don't like the way this is framed as many are suffering the effects of dementia while others who care for them watching a slow decline that nothing can stop.

      This has to be taken seriously.

      This a valid question which is trivialized by bad attempts at Photoshop humor. I am not particularly fond of Senator McCain, but it is this kind of left wing "gray market" bashing that makes each election a vomitfest.

      There is one thing everyone reading this post can be assured of. They will age. Whether they age gracefully or severely may not be up to them.

      That all being said, I think McCain should definitely be given a cognitive skills test.

    • a 47-year-old vs at 72-year-old. This election is only going to go one way. I think the reasn that McCain isn't doing 50 states is because his zimmer frame isn't up to the job!

    • Gee that puts him in the same class as Ronald RayGun. i think it was apparent from the git go that the man was a little senile or disturbed or something like that.
      Demtia would explain his actions or lack there of.

    • The traditional media does not see McCain's mental decline as a negative attribute.

      They just dismiss it as "side effects from being a prisoner of war."

      That's just another reason Republicans are dangerous: When they are mentally off, it's romanticized by the media & our society at large.

    • The McCain handlers could quickly quell the rising tide of suspicion that McCain in fact does have dementia.

      There are cognitive tests that could be administered by a 3rd party disinterested group of professional experts.

      The results of the psychological tests would then be accepted by the general public and we would all feel a lot more relaxed that a mentally challenged elderly man might occupy the WH.
