5. Originally started in sprring when it was released that he was taking Ambien

Which is often prescribed with several Alzheimer's medications.

It then dug in again when McCain made several verbal gaffes in august followed by the strategy of Palin giving the speeches while McCain stood by and then repeated 4 or 6 sentences, the final being slowly truncated verbally moe and more as the week has progressed to which point it no longer has the same meaning.

Then the DU grabbed ahold of it to explain the BIG STORY that was hinted at to be about drugs(which turned out to be a bust, and a 15 year old breaking story about Cindy McCains publicly noted drug abuse)

13. Too bad the public isn't able to view (independently, no strings attached) his medical records.

I bet it'd raise a few eyebrows.

[symbolman]

18. How did it turn out to be a "Bust" exactly?

I just saw you trashing the story, that doesn't mean it's a bust, please don't inject your opinion as fact.

[Boz]

20. The story is OPINION as fact, heres the big catch

John McCain certainly used his political connections to begin a campaign of intimidation against Gosinski, because at the time - this was after the Keating 5 scandal - another major scandal would have derailed his career.

That sentence is the only difference in the story since it first broke in 1995.

Its the same story as when it was reported in 1996 when McCain was on the short list for R VP

Its the same story as when it was reported in 1998 when McCain was up for re election.

Its the same story as when it was reported in 2000 when McCain was running for President the first time.

Its the same story as when it was reported in 2004 when McCain was on the short list for D VP and re election

and its the same story now,those are the FACTS, not opinions.

The only opinion is the guy that bought this story from Goslinski this time typed the OPINION listed in the line above that McCain must have used his power to cover this up or he wouldn't have a career. All that opinion goes out the window with the facts that this has been public knowledge and in print and TV ad nauseum for over a decade and a half, hell its even on Cindy McCains wikipedia entry.

Hell of a cover up there.

Oh and the guy writing that sentence, Matt Stoller, Heres a few of his other hits

OBAMA IS DONE

and

"here's a shout-out to the crappy Obama advisor circle, David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Jim Margolis, Devorah Adler, and the whole gang out there. You suck!"

So yeah, just my opinion to not put my hope on a 15 year old dead story by a guy who rips up Obama but on the hopes and work of Obama himself.

[symbolman]

23. Yeah

You are helping McCain, for what reason, I have no idea.

It's ALL GOOD, anything that the public doesn't know about is GREAT stuff. They believe LIES, they can believe documented stuff like this, and if it helps then it helps.

You're on a mission to assist McCain and frankly it sucks.

6. Could Be Alzheimer's Disease...Could Be Dementia...Could Be Nothing...

17. They got pills for that? I want some ...

:rofl:

8. Here?

10. Simple observation and speculation.

If you watch him and Palin together he looks like a doddering old man. I think it may hurt him in the end. The picture is not pretty. They walk into an event together and she passes him while their shaking hands. He's looking around like he's lost and she has to turn back and wait for him to catch up. He moves slow and stiff while she appears lively and energetic. The more you contrast the two the worse it looks for him.

11. McCain Doesn't Have Alzheimer's

he's a Republican.

The symptoms may appear to be similar so I understand the confusion.

:P

[Boz]

14. Actually I dont think he has Alzheimers, I think his problem is MCI

Mild Cognitive Impairment, MCI is to Alzheimer's what HIV is to AIDS.

Slippery slope from here and a fine line but a line none the less.

It progresses into Alzheimer's with the onset of dementia, while I like to think hes crazy I dont think hes manifested the dementia yet, either way its a guaranteed slope and a show stopper to his future fitness to do what he is auditioning for.

[pecwae]

12. Right where you're posting.

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. Wishful thinking

[Vinca]

16. I think they come from the way he talks and acts.

Every time I see Leiberbush at his side whispering in his ear I think of Nancy Reagan. Maybe that's Palin's job now.

[tekisui]

19. It came from his Alzheimer's.

[JI7]

21. i think it came from McCain himself with reference to Czechkoslavakia

and some other things. and there was that one time when Lieberman had to correct him on something.

[jakem]

22. you mean THE Czechkoslovakia that borders Uruguay?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. yeah that one

[blm]

25. From his own statements the last couple years where he can't remember Sunni and Shia, or Anbar, or

that Iraq didn't attack us on 9-11, or that he once loathed the RW wingnuts who mindlessly parrot GOPAC and theocratic talking points like Sarah Palin.
