Call me naïve, but I'm inclined to believe that the medical records are more accurate than the suspicions of experts who haven't examined him. I'm even gullible enough to entertain the notion that the reason he doesn't want to face psychological evaluation is because undergoing the testing would be a political liability whether or not he passes.

My point was not that he's in excellent health, but that Spaco's supposition was moot (because, let me clarify, those clearly are neither the diagnosis nor the symptoms of a man who will deteriorate into uselessness in five months). Obviously we were talking about different things - you about the presidency, I merely about the campaign.

The locked down medical records are actually the most damning evidence, running contrary to his physician's assessment in sum total.

Spaco's RON PAAAUUULLL query was only part of the equation, so your linking of the article made sense. The only "different things" we are talking about here is that you continually think I'm referring to the article, when in fact I'm highlighting that your wording wasn't reflective to the article itself.

Guess I should be more careful when linking things, then.

Hold on, hold on, I got another one of these in me...

RON PAAAUUULLL

Ok, I'm good.

It probably is, but on the other hand just ignoring the possibility that he could be put in a position of way-too-much power and then literally lose his mind strikes me as extremely irresponsible.  Doubly so if his reason for endangering the country like that is simply to get said power.  It's the sort of irresponsibility that makes him extremely dangerous with or without the delusion, and it's the first thing I'd like to see him get called out on when it comes time to throw down.  Maybe second after the torture thing.

Even if he's in perfect shape now, it's not a huge stretch to say that a man going on 72 years old might not hold up well under the stress of running for President of the United States.

A twinge of sympathy hits me from time to time when considering his position, leading me to question if I have a prejudice against the elderly.

Then I remember that I do, and I merrily go about my day.

Considering that the last old man president did irrepairable damage to our economy and is at least partially responsible for our overwhelming deficit, and did so while under the effects of the early stages of alzheimer's, I think that we have an incredibly valid reasoning for discriminating based on age.

I wouldn't have a problem if he were 72 years old and validly addressing the issue.  He's not, so I do.

I consider this a non-issue, since there's no fucking way he's getting elected.

Democrats are geniuses of failure and have half a year to do what they do best. It's a pretty frightening and likely outcome.

If Obama is the nominee, there's no way he's going to be an unrepentant, pandering ass the way that Kerry was leading up to November.

Those same six months that the Democrats have left to "cock everything up" is plenty of time for McCain to go on television and claim that he is a big juicy steak with all the fixin's.

Saw a bit on Obama's 'Auschwitz' gaffe this morning on FOX NEWS! It was actually pretty amusing, the host was trying to spin it as 'OMG OBAMA = DISHONEST?' and both of the analysts, right and left-wing, agreed that he just slipped up and made a mistake about which concentration camp his great-uncle helped liberate. Finally he gave up and moved on to a new topic, 'JIMMY CARTER IS A TRAITOR!'

Is it?

I rank it up there with forgetting Poland.

I mean, Nazi Death Camps are just like Six Flags Theme Parks. You've seen one, you've seen them all.
