(OT)v McCain Owes America An Alzheimer's Test
 

http://www.democrats.com/mccain-owes...lzheimers-test


While Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama were rocking the Democratic
convention in Denver, John McCain made his 13th appearance with Jay
Leno to joke about his age. McCain joked, "You forgot to mention that
I warned the people about the British coming," and added, "my Social
Security number is eight."

McCain has repeatedly tried to dismiss concerns about his age with
late-night jokes. On Saturday Night Live, he quipped: "What should we
be looking for in our next president? Certainly someone who is very,
very, very old."

But McCain's age is no joke. He will turn 72 on Friday and would be
halfway to 73 if elected and sworn in on January 20. That would make
him the oldest first-term President ever, two years older than Ronald
Reagan. He has survived four skin cancers (melanomas), including one
in 2000 that was classified as Stage IIa.

McCain is two years older than his father was when he died suddenly of
a heart attack at 70. He is 11 years older than his grandfather was
when he died suddenly of a heart attack at age 61.

The United States cannot afford the risk that McCain would die
suddenly in the middle of an international crisis.

Nor can we afford the risk of dementia. 22% of Americans over 70 are
affected by mild cognitive impairment, while 13% of Americans over 65
have Alzheimer's. Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age
83, but early signs were evident during his first term. Britain's
"Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher developed dementia at age 75.

Prescriptions can also adversely affect mental function. McCain takes
Simvastatin, a cholestoral drug that can cause memory loss. McCain
also takes Ambien to sleep, which can cause amnesia and "fugue states"
like the one that caused Rep. Patrick Kennedy's late-night car crash.
If the phone rang at 3 a.m., would McCain even wake up?

McCain's medical records are not available to physicians. He did not
"release" them for the campaign; he only allowed hand-picked reporters
to examine them quickly without making copies. And there were no
results of an Alzheimer's test, because McCain has never had one -
even though he has 6 of the 10 warning signs, including his inability
to remember facts like the number of homes he owns or the U.S.
invasion of Iraq in 2003.

John McCain owes America a thorough test for Alzheimer's and cognitive
impairment long before Election Day

There are so many reasons not to vote for this guy and age is one of
them. McCain looks like warmed over death to me and if elected I don't
expect he will make it through one term. Being president is different
from being a Senator. It's much more stressful. I've watched presidents
age 4 or 5 times faster than the people around them.

If McCain dies in office then we will have a white trash beauty queen
for president. Just the kind of person we would want up against Putin or
another bad guy of the day. Talk about looking weak.

All joking aside, the job of President *is* very stressful. Just look at
pictures of GWB in 2000 and today. Hopefully, one starting out at 72
will be up to the task.

Finally, recall that Ronnie Reagan napped through a lot and had Nancy

Roy, your rude response puzzles me. This is *exactly* what I said:

- All joking aside, the job of President *is* very stressful.
- Just look at pictures of GWB in 2000 and today.
- Hopefully, one starting out at 72 will be up to the task.


It IS a stressful job, pictures of GWB do indeed show that he aged; no
slam was intended, just a simple statement of fact. From that point
onward, it does not take a great leap of faith to respectfully suggest
that someone just starting at age 72 could well be in for a stressful ride.

And then I said:

- Finally, recall that Ronnie Reagan napped through a
- lot and had Nancy and her astrologer run the country.
- Now *that* was scary!


Again what I stated above was a matter of *public record*, a true
statement, not a slam. Ronnie DID nap a lot and Nancy DID have her
(quack?) 'astrologer' making decisions for the country -- and again, no
slam; but I do find that rather alarming (and yes, scary).

So, I made two statements, both legitimate and both matters of public

respectfully suggest you check out the guy you see in the mirror when
shaving. And try not to be so sensitive to statements that are a matter

What has the Democrats Really Worried about John

serve for Two Plus Years . . .
http://images.usatoday.com/news/_pho...ain-topper.jpg
and then Sarah Palin would be able to finish out the end
of his 1st Term and Run for two more terms a President
in 2012 and 2016 : Meaning that the Democrats would
be Locked-Out of "The Power" of the White House for
10 Years, a Decade. {She'd only be 55}
http://wizbangblog.com/images/2008/0...alin-thumb.jpg

Plus Sarah Palin could have some very 'popular' Coat-Tails
and usher-in a new Republican Congress in both the US
House and US Senate : Which would mean Loss of Power
in Congress for the Democrats.

Sarah Palin is the Strongest Threat to the Democrat's

Once she nukes the UK in retribution of the revolutionary war (or any
