First murtha, now mccain. I wonder who else brit thinks is senile?

It isn’t an issue of senility. It’s an issue of stupidity.

I think it’s a little more than a senior moment. McCain is joined at the hip with Bush on foreign policy. I think they’re planning to bomb Iran, and once they do, McCain is going to want to look consistent. However, he does need to study up on neocon talking points 101.

It may very well be a senior moment, but even if it’s a stupid moment, it does look like McCain is going to be the next POTUS since the Dems are now on a suicide mission (if the nomination goes to Obama, many Moderates will desert to McCain; if the nomination goes to Hillary, many blacks will stay home.)

My what tangled webs we weave when at first we practice to deceive!

Hey, let’s push the senior moment angle. How many senior moments can we afford from our President?

If McCain can’t be trusted to keep the facts straight in his head, he’s clearly unfit for the Presidency. If he’s deliberately wrong, he should not be trusted in any circumstance.

In how many threads you going to post your message of doom?

What if McCain had a senior moment at 3 am?

Oh come on, once you have seen one Islamic group of people you have seen them all. All Arabs, Muslims, and people who ware turbans are all the same. In the end they all hate us for our freedoms. snark

How many times did former President Reagan utter the words “I don’t recall” and we all thought he was doing the D.C. shuffle when in reality, he was suffering from Alzheimer’s? Do we really want to go through that again?

Lollimom, it doesn’t do any good to bury our heads in the sand on this — other than to feel good with these frivolities while the party is going down in flames, does it?

John McCain’s Senior Moment Lands Him Major Endorsemnt Deal

http://judicial-inc.biz/82jjoh.....rresta.htm john mccain did he start it?

We can’t afford “senior moments” in the White House Hume. What on earth are you thinking?

Honestly, I think your brain is gone or missing Have you tried looking under the bed for it?

For “senior moments” you wear adult diapers. In McKrazy’s case - Camo adult diapers.

Even if it was a “senior moment” (which I don’t think it was), why is every media talking head so dismissive of it? Why is it no big deal to have a president that can’t remember whose on which side of a major conflict because he’s too senile to keep it straight? That’s as worrisome if not moreso than the fact that he’s lying.

So either-
A/ He’s lying, or
B/ He’s in the throes of senile dementia

Either answer is disturbing. I know these guys loved Reagan, but I thought it was in spite of the Alzheimer’s not because of it.

I don’t think you get to call it a senior moment after his campaign staff say it is true.

“Mr. McCain’s national security adviser, Randy Scheunemann, told The New York Sun, ‘There is ample documentation that Iran has provided many different forms of support to Sunni extremists, including Al Qaeda as well as Shi’ia extremists in Iraq. It would require a willing suspension of disbelief to deny Iran supports Al Qaeda in Iraq.’”

John McCain’s Senior Moment Lands Him Major Endorsemnt Deal

Wow - I hadn’t even seen this when I responded.

If he is elected, the world would be lucky if he dies in office. He could have a senior moment and push that red button because he wants some candy…

I can’t believe that people are ready to vote for him sight without knowing who is going to have to be there to keep gramps from hitting the pretty, shiny red button… Hell, Huckabee would wrestle him for it…

Pinky…, I don’t think (even with his senior and/or stupid momemts) McCain would ever choose Huckleberry as his VEEP — more likely McCain’s VEEP will be someone like Romney or the hottie Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

even if they are republics, don’t they understand what it means to encourage the election of a man who is going to rule the world and can’t keep his facts straight? this is not a game, rush limbaugh, dogface hume, et al, this is our planet. get some education before you kill us all off.

Alexander Britton Hume was born June 22,1943, and graduated from from the Univ. of Virginia, in 1965.
Was was Britney’s excuse for not serving in the military during the Vietnam War, does anyone know? He was just 22 when he graduated from college, I wonder what type of excuses he has?

and, I wouldn’t be surprised if McCain doesn’t even make it to the convention since a deteriorating health condition is not unlikely.

A true FOX NEWS moment…they compared McCain to Honest Abe….Simpson….I think McCain had a Humpty-Dumpty moment.

Off the wall you go.

All Rupert Murdochs bobble heads and all the FOX and FRIENDS can’t put McCain back together….

McCain is a senior “moment”. He’ll rapidly be history against Hillary or Obama. He is truly a pathetic shell of the man that he used to be. And what he used to be (a C student, albeit war hero) never measured up in leadership skills to either Dem candidate.

My questions are simple: What miracle brought McCain back from being dead last and broke last summer in the Republican primary, flying coach from one campaign stop to another, and not even paying his staff for months, to become his party’s nominee? Nobody has that much luck. How did that happen?

I can’t remember where I left that launch button. How much time did you say we have to respond?

You know Ted, if you really gave a crap you’d do your best to reconcile the Democrats and court them to vote for whoever the nominee is. So, you are either trying to sow despair intentionally or you are simply lazy. Whatever.

As for senior moments … we thought my dad was having senior moments when it blossomed into CJD. He started making mistakes that he would have never made before.

It would be interesting to have a presidential candidate go down to mad cow disease. Tragic, but interesting.

Yours is a bullshit comment, with no basis in reality. I’m tired of reading your off-topic doom/gloom scenario in every thread.

I’m not getting into a dialog with you; I’m surprised the site monitors let you post this in multiple threads.

And when the appropriate thread comes along where you can post your BS, kindly take into consideration the YOUTH VOTE, who have no intention of voting for dried-out shell of an old fart republican.

” But the mistake, nonetheless, raises questions not about his knowledgability—we all kinda believe he has that—the question, perhaps, about his age, which is an issue. ”

We all kindabelieve that ?
What a ringing endorsement from the right wing news network !

Boil, again, even with repeated senior moments, how can McCain lose to the Dems since w/Obama, the moderates will desert to the GOP and with Hillary, the blacks will stay home.

Even if this is a so called “senior” moment it still raises questions. Is he competent enough to make the tough decisions? Is he able to make critical choices and choose the best one at a moments notice? I say no.

Brit Hume is FULL of “Senior Moments”.

Lollimon, unfortunately the seniors vote in far far greater numbers than youths, so I don’t think the youth vote can offset.

I believe in being a realist to see if we can divert disasaster before the convention.

It isn’t an issue of senility. It’s an issue of stupidity.

ya know! let’s say it is an issue with senility…do we really want someone who is not of sound mind?

We all know that Bush = McCain …and the “fair and balanced” news media want to
cover their trail and clean up all loose ends of their swindles, scandals and dirty dealing.

hmmm… The World Court is showing an interest in Dictators lately.

Watch for the next media bamboozle….
Victor Bout’s life could be over the minute he is transferred to US custody.

He knows way too much.

So do millions of americans that read.
They’ve turned off the propagandists on the TV.

Ted @ 29:

You’re wrong. Passions are high now among Democrats. As a rabid Obama supporter myself, I take every chance I can to explain why he would be a better standard bearer for our party and why she represents the politics of the past. And although I personally think Hillary is a $%#&, I’m certain I would vote for her over McCain in the general. But at this point in time, I can’t say it. Not just yet.

Ted @ 29:

The only reason we will loose is because Hillary feels it’s better to stamp her little feet and cry about a job she feels she is entitled to over the reality of the situation where only in a rehash of the 2000 election results can she win. (however the Super Delegates would have to play the part of the Supreme Court!)

Just put him on stage with Obama. Let everybody see them side by side talking about ….oh I don’t know…how about …ANYTHING. McCain’s brain reminds me of HAL’s in 2001…..D..a..i..s..y….D..a..i..s..y………………………….. He’s going to make mistake after mistake and he’s going to lose his cool bigtime.

Dear god, let the GE start.

Rico, you’re right that passions ARE high among some Dems, but many moderates and or blue collar white voters will desert the party if Obama is the nominee. I’m not saying this is good by any means, simply that it seems to be reality.

Lunch Mr. President!…not Launch!

Dahg, even if Hillary were to drop out of the race tomorrow — citing the good of the party and/or the good of the nation — still, many moderate Dems and some Hillary feminist voters, will desert the party in November, enough to sew the seeds of defeat.

why do old presidents smell funny?

depends

But even if we give McCain the benefit of the doubt, do you really think raising the spectre of Alzheimer’s is a good way to legitimize the candidate before the general election?

Why not? It will just make him look even more Reaganish… And we all know how queer conservatives get for Reagan.

An acceptable *senior moment* is when you forget someones name, phone number. etc. It is not acceptable for a presidential contender to forget who is who when we’re at war.
Do we really want/need a president who bombs the wrong people because he *forgot* and then has a legendary temper fit when corrected?

After all, it’s been well documented that warmonger mccain doesn’t like to be questioned and tends to has hissy fits.

For Brit to say anything else would cost him his job.

Lets say it was a senior moment - do we really want to elect someone who may be losing his mind in this time of crisis?

If America elects him to be POTUS we deserve to have everything entirely fall apart.

So McCain is having ’senior moments’ before he even gets elected into office?

Well, the Republicans did say they wanted a candidate that emulated Ronald Reagan’s leadership, but this might be asking a little much.

Brit brit brit, so what — he’s not important. We need to focus on what IS important.

You forget we currently have a president who was ready to attack North Dakota because Kim Jong Il is such a threat! it’s not the senior moments I’m worried about it’s the fact that he will listen and follow all the war mongers who feel we should be dropping nukes everywhere!

What if McCain had a senior moment at 3 am?

Kinda says it all, actually.
