sign an online survey to have McCain take an Alzheimer's test
Now, my guy, who is a gerontologist would accuse me of "ageism", but I think that this is not an unreasonable request. Heck, we could have Obama take it also, to not show any bias, as Alzheimer's can rear its ugly head at a much earlier age. I know that my father, who is 75, would be too tired to be President.
McCain Owes America An Alzheimer's 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.
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.
McCain has never had an Alzheimer's test, even though he has 6 of the 10 warning signs , including his inability to remember recent facts like the number of homes he owns, the $1M lawsuit he filed in 1990, 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.

I'm all for McCain's Alzheimer's test, right after each and every DUmmy takes comprehensive drug and STD tests, with the results sent to family and employers.
What's that you say, DU? That information is private, under HIPAA?
I see.
Assholes.

les'see.....Nancy Pelosi, the woman they want to impeach her way to the presidency on January 20th, will be 69 two months later. Pelosi has been having poison injected in her forehead, which is only inches away from her brain, for years and years.

If you request McCain to take an Alzheimers test then it only stands to reason that The Barackstar take a Sickle Cell Test and a comprehensive Heart test.
Goose/Gander and all that stuff.

Even if it leaked through and completely dissolved her brain, no one would be able to determine it had happened.

I`m still waiting for Kerry to release all his records. :whatever:

One other test the obamanator should take is a polygraph.

I seem to recall the NeoComs having a problem with release of confidential medical records when it came to Billy Jeff and any potential STDs he may or may not have been infecting the women he was raping in the Oval Orifice with.
Looks like a pretty airtight precedent if you ask me.

Yeah...take the test.
At least he'll be like George Wallace and have the paper work to prove that he at least has some of his god given intellect. What will Obama have?
The one that knows he'll be president of 50 states needs a mental test. .....And the one that thinks he'll be the savior of 57 staes don't????????
