3. In my unqualified opinion, yes

My mom thinks so too.

4. I don't remember how he was before.

Have you seen that video of bush from 1994 or something where he actually sounds smart? I wonder if McCain will decline that far.

5. It's more ideological in origin

To become the true heir and apostle of Reagan, McCain must will himself into senile dementia. In the imitatio of Reagan one must take up the Cross of Confusion and begin where The Great Confabulator trailed off. It's as much a part of the anointment process as it is the aging process.

6. He can't remember what his own opinions are.

"Someone will have to look up what I stand for on that issue"

14. Wasn't that Gonzo's standard comment

7. He shows a severe disregard for his own life...

When he calls his wife a c**t. She could beat him to death with that red phone in the middle of the night. I would (if he called me that).

8. Brain damage at the hands of his captors deserves our sympathy, not the presidency.

11. Ever been around an older person who is loosing it mentally?

It's like they say what ever pops in their head, morally correct or not.

12. The only problem is

he's old. GWB doesn't have that fact in his defense. :)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. My son's girlfriend's grandfather, a retired NY cop said that McCain is showing early signs of

Alzheimer's.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. I voted yes, but really, how the hell would I know? He needs to release his medical records.

What I can say for sure is he exhibits signs of being a bitter, angry, old man.

[BuyingThyme]

16. Well, is his angry bitterness

a mental impairment associated with aging?

[FarLeftRage]

17. No...

he's just your average stupid fucking repuKKKe!

[americanyouth]

18. That's what you get when the min. age for an entire political party tops 85
