ABC: McCain Psychologically Damaged? Suffer Dementia? Die Soon?

What if Obama was 71? I’ll bet these two pixies wouldn’t dare discuss this kind of crap.

[muawiyah]

The way McCain keeps returning to his Amnesty law, the more it seems he's already suffering some serious dementia.

He can't get it into his head he already lost this one.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Obama and Hillary already have dementia.

[Bringbackthedraft]

And how old was Adenauer? Sounds like the MSM Ghouls are loose.

[exit82]

Half the Dems in the Senate need to retire tomorrow then.

[econjack]

I can't begin to tell you how much this on air, medical "chit-chat" pi$$es me off. To pass this off as news is a travesty. There is one, and only one, reason why ABC chose to go down this road and I am unbelievably angry that they try to pass it off as news.

Move over Dan...you've got company.

OH YEAH!!!

Gibson jumped to wonder how much longer McCain has to live, a question which led Johnson to warn, that while McCain may live another 16 years, there's a decent chance he'll develop “dementia.”

If he picks a decent VP, the age thing is actually a plus. As much as I dislike McCain, I'm very fond of his mother. The woman is 94 or so and sharp as a tack mentally. If she were running instead of him, I'd have no problem voting for a McCain.

It is damn funny how age is such a big deal with the enemedia unless were are talking about one of their own like Robert Byrd, 89, or Ted Kennedy, 76, then suddenly it is to command respect for their experience.

Every one knows where I stand on McCain but this is beneath sleazy even for the MSM.

Juan RINOsa McCainista is the next Bob Dole. Remember Viagra Bob? God help us.

[kb2614]

You know, if the MSM & Democrats (but I repeat myself) keep this up, I’ll vote for McCain out of shear spite.

[TomGuy]

a 30 percent chance of developing serious memory loss or even dementia.

The poor ole guy already has some of that. He denies ever using the word amnesty, and yet 2 or 3 different print/video reports have him using the word.

Also, watch that ABC video from just a few months ago:

The video at the link below shows McCain as a tottering old guy who stammers and makes significant misstatements even in this short speech.

In politics, one misstatement or misstep can ruin a career. A Lazio encroachment. A Deaniac scream. An Allen macaca moment.

McCain made 2 slip-ups in this single video. He stumbles on the word dispirited and then replaces it with spirited. Then, he stumbles by calling himself a conservative liberal Republican and replaces it with conservative Republican.

Then, McCain ended this short speech by vowing to continue to infringe on and quell First Amendment rights, when he says that 527's should be outlawed.

This is who the GOP is sending to challenge Obama??????

McCain a 'Proud Liberal'? (Video)

Watch this Must See video and then visualize this guy going up against Obama in a series of debates.

[acapesket]

God Help us all. Period.

Life is going to be rocky for the next4 .. no matter what.

[RichInOC]

Given that one of the Democrats’ most senior senators just got diagnosed with a brain tumor after suffering seizures, and another one just might actually be suffering dementia (no big deal, folks, it’s not like he has an important job or anything, he’s just the president pro tem of the Senate, three heartbeats away from the presidency during a shooting war), I don’t think I can overstate what a huge, messy can of worms they’re opening.

[Loud Mime]

Sounds like an idea for a new tagline

[skinkinthegrass]

Sounds like the MSM Ghouls are loose...
I could never see / nor tell the difference???....were they, ever caged and/or held back.

[Politicalities]

Fairly or unfairly, McCain's age will be an issue in this campaign, or if not an issue, a factor. McCain looks his age, and he will not look particularly good standing next to either Barack Obama or (as seems increasingly less likely) Hillary Clinton. I really would have preferred a younger candidate. Still, age and all I very much prefer McCain to either of the Democratic candidates, but the swing voters will see an old, short, white-haired balding man next to a young, tall, physically robust man, and McCain will not come off the better in the comparison. And it is guaranteed that every single slip of the tongue he makes during this campaign (and he will, as all candidates do) will be pounced on by the MSM to raise what they will call the "troubling question" of the acuity of his septuagenarian brain. I'm very much afraid that we've nominated another Bob Dole... a war hero whose prime of life is long past, nominated because it was "his turn." I hope I'm wrong.

[skinkinthegrass]

Sounds like an idea for a new tagline....Good one.

[weegee]

So we can’t speak ill of Ted Kennedy’s time in the Senate (no wishes he be deceased, just merely speak ill of his service against America and Mary Jo) but we can have this type of crap posted just because it comes from ABCDisney???
