In a performance reminiscent of Ronald Reagan in his later years as Alzheimer's was taking hold, McCain appears to confuse Spain and Mexico. Or maybe it's just the case of his talking points getting garbled.

That's either age-related or total ignorance of who are the presidents in Spain and Mexico, a next door neighbor.


So much for foreign relations experience...

Maybe one Spanish-speaking country is the same as any other Spanish-speaking country to this buffoon! It's all Greek to him.

I don't get it. Why is he still being treated as a capable candidate on tv? He clearly has lost all sense of 'decorum', wandering around as a mental patient on the loose... Please don't tell me that no other than a few have noticed that this man HAS Alzheimer?

Fear? Racism? Ignorance? I don't know. With the economy going down the crapper and lie after lie being exposed by the media that has the beginnings of a backbone beginning to form, I'm at a loss to explain why Obama is not double digits ahead now.

Could be the average voter is simply not informed. Or they get all their info from Fox Noise. Well, that's rather redundant isn't it?

I think they are so drunk on trusting America and trusting conservatism that they are simply unwilling to see the handwriting on the wall. They believe him to be competent, no matter what he says or does.

Perhaps they don't like to be told how wrong they are or even admit that they were wrong at any time. Denial is a powerful thing Most weak and demoralized people won't admit, as the proceedings are still going, and they may just hold out for" Maybe I wasn't so gullible after all". Really, who likes to admit that they were wrong after all that hatred that has been expressed, especially by the Reps.?

When it was finally announced (in 1994) that Reagan actually had Alzheimer's, I heard coments like, "how sad", "that poor man", "how tragic for his family".

What was going through my head was, "It took them THIS long to notice?"

When Reagan took office, he was three years younger than McCain is now, and his mental state and the possible onset of senility was a subject of serious debate. Reagan himself said he would resign if he showed evidence of dementia.

Another aspect of a McCain presidency is one that is mentioned frequently but always in a positive sense. That, of course, is his POW status. Frequently we hear comments concerning his legendary short fuse. My concern is that there is more damage under the hood than has been previously acknowledged. That, in conjunction with his frequent lapses in reason should be seriously considered.

I can not guarantee I'm 100% sane, but I would like to think that I'm right when I say this: it's scary to notice how often people cannot determine if a top-figure is sane or not. If he or she is living a childish fantasy or not. I don't know. It's just scary.

It may sound arrogant but it's just what I feel. I still have to figure out how to deal with those people. Eventually we have to deal with them. They're people too. If they believe people can walk on water or Superman is a real person, who am I to convince them otherwise. My reality has to merge with theirs somehow. Maybe it's never gonna happen, but I think we all have to do our best, by being the living example of (what we believe ...
