It wasn't like that in the past, what has changed???

That means Gramps McSame has 13% to be batshit crazy?

I think he is 100% batshit crazy already.

Look at his platforms....

He was against the war and now he is for it.

He was against the tax cuts and now he is for them.

He says the war will last another 5 years when it used to be 100.

He is against earmarks, but then earmarks millions for a campaign donor.

He is against his own immigration reform plan.

Yep batshit crazy.

YEAH!

Mr. Rip Van Winkle speaks!

New flash! Our food didn't always come from a Box, our meat and vegetables weren't always bathed and sprayed with preservative chemicals and our cloths weren't always saturated with fire retardants


Perhaps we should make a list of things that HAVEN'T "changed"

An energizing exchange on the senate floor in a few years;

Senator #2; I am definately against this bill,

Senator #1; Dang it, you said you would vote for it in committee yesterday,

Senator #2; I did, well, I must be for it.

Senator #1; For what?

Senator #2; What?

Senator #1; I need a bowel movement, oops, too late?

The only hope for the Republican Party is to get America to forget the past seven years. Alzheimers is a Republican campaign tactic.

30% of our soldiers suffer from Gulf War Syndrome.

Rates of many exotic diseases continue to rise. Probably from pollution of the environment by a myriad of Industrial Wastes.

What's important to Industry is that the burden of proof of cause and effect is on the victim and the Government ain't gonna help the victim.

And yet the GOPpers are apparently seeking to make it 1 in 4 for Republican Presidents.

No wonder you goofs keep voting for the same stupid fucker.

Redneckville, we must have been thinking the same thing. What hasn't changed is the real question.

Seems like I was going to post something about this very important...
...um....

what's the word?

Bush set back a cure for Alzhemiers and other diseases that could have been well on their way to a cure by eight years because he refused to allow stem cell research to progress. May it hit his family and see how much he likes it and know that he might have let our scientists find a cure except he had to cater to the religious fundimentalists for votes. Bush doesn't have a religious bone in his body. But he'll pander and cater to those religious nuts who will set science back years. Stem cell research -- how does McCain feel about it. Anyone asked him yet?

well, how many more folks are living longer....not saying this is true, just postulating

1 - 8 senators doesn't know they have 'old timers'

It wasn't like that in the past, what has changed???

Some possibilities:

-- People living older, so more live to the point of gett Alzheimer's
-- Better diagnosis... previously we called peopl "senile" who may have had it
-- Environment: As Redneckville said, our food and all are full of preservatives and hormones and contaminnants only prevalenet in the past 5 or 6 decades
-- High aluminum contact has been strongly linked to Alzheimer's...examination of the brains of people who have died of advance Alzheimer's show large concentrations of aluminum in pockets in the brain. Look at your deodorant labels, your cosmetic labels, etc... lots of them contain aluminum-based compounds (aluminum chlorhydrate, etc).

And I was always told that shit was good for you. We have to do it for your own protection.

Dang!! When I first glanced at the tagline above, I read:

"1-in-8 Senators Has Alzheimer's"

I thought to myself, "Well, that explains a lot."

Reading back through the responses, it seems that I am not the only one who had this same reading glitch.

Hmmmmmmmm...

This statistic doesn't take into account all the people who forgot they had Alzheimer's.

7 in 8 Socialistas have Alzheimer's...

how does McCain feel about it. Anyone asked him yet?

Before or after his nap? He gets a little cranky when tired.

It wasn't like that in the past, what has changed???


It was like that in the past -- people did suffer from Alzhemiers -- only Alzheimers was not as easily identifiable a number of years back as it is now. It really only came to the public's attention after Ronald Reagan went public with the fact he suffered from it. It's been here all along only it was just lumped together with senility and/or dementia.

Even those in the medical field were not that familiar with the disease even as short a time ago as in the 1980's. Now much more is known about Alzheimer's and its progression and how it affects the neurons in the brain which get covered with plaque and disturb the mental thought processes.

It is a horrific and sad disease that causes extreme suffering for family members who have to endure it and watch their loved one deteriorate. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan correctly described it when she said Alzhemiers "...is a long good-bye, a very long good-bye." Alzhemiers is not a disease that deserves tasteless jokes.

The food supply.

This isn't some 'liberal conspiracy theory' either/ I'm just saying that I think it's our food supply and many of the additives and other chemicals (steroids...etc) that we've allowed into our food supply for the past 40+ years.

Just look at the pre-teen girls these days. Doctors have reported that they're beginning the menstruate earlier than ever and many contribute it to the hormones in our milk supply.

It had to catch up to us someday.

C-SPAN1 had the audio off for hours after Washington Journal - including throughout this debate on Alzheimer's. Luckily the closed captioning was operational.

Most people have been living into their late 80's for a loooooong, looong time now.

I think we will find that the vast majority of Alzheimer's is instigated by low-fatty acid in the diet and high concentrations of fluoride, chlorine and aluminum.

Well Goat, you may live in a fantasy world where Gramps McSame is a strapping young fighter pilot but the real world is that he is older than dirt.

So naturally when a story that deals with seniors surfaces it is only natural to associate it with Gramps.

Hell it explains a great deal of his flip flops on subjects including his own immigration bill.

Perhaps. But it still doesn't explain why lefties turn an apolitical thread into a hateful political one -- expecially considering the preponderance of politcal threads to choose from on the Drudge Retort to vent their venom and angst.

I guess I don't live, eat, and sleep with a raw hatred that burns in me like a magnesium flare that can't be extinguished (in your case, it is of a political party) so it's kind of hard for me to understand y'all's mindset.

You may now continue your hate-fest

It doesn't. You missed my point. It says something about 49 states. After all, Ronnie didn't put an Alzheimer's patient into the white house -- the american people did...overwhelmingly

liars figure and figures lie

Those measures never made the ballot here. But then again we all know how fucked up Texas is . . .

In my estimation, over half of US Senators have Alzheimer's. That might be optimistic.

You didn't have higher gas prices in 04 than 00? As for the last part, I totally agree.

You didn't have higher gas prices in 04 than 00?

Yes. But we didn't vote for them. Nor did we vote for a war. As I said, those initiatives were not on our ballot those years or any years that I've been a voter.

I know you agree with the last part. Spread the word, please, and help the state. It might not yet be too late to keep the riff raff out.

Oh, wait. You are implying that if someone voted for Bush they voted for a war and high gas prices.

So using that logic those who voted for Kennedy voted for the Cuban missle crisis. Those who voted for Roosevelt voted for a World War. Those who voted for Carter voted to have hostages taken in Iran and the highest interest rates and inflation seen in a long time.

And you think Texans are fucked up in their thinking? Amazing. Truly amazing. I would try to explain, but I'm afraid simple logic would be lost on you.

Good luck in figuring the world out! You need it! And I think I now understand why you think Texas is fucked up. We don't think like you and make the bizarre leaps of logic you do. News flash: Not many people do.

"So using that logic those who voted for Kennedy voted for the Cuban missle(sic) crisis."

re: "Oh, wait. You are implying that if someone voted for Bush they voted for a war and high gas prices."

In the 2004 election, yeah, that would be a safe assumption. Unless you were just a complete fucking idiot in 2004...

In the 2004 election, yeah, that would be a safe assumption. Unless you were just a complete fucking idiot in 2004

And only an idiot in 1940 would not have known that Roosevelt would take us into a world war so they voted for him so they could have their sons sent to Europe to die.

Love the logic, boyd. (or is it commonsense, too? I can't keep up anymore)

Goatman is soo intellectually dishonest. Did Kennedy cause the Cuban Missile crises?? Did Roosevelt cause WW2?? On the other hand Dubya IS the one who initiated the Iraq War He is the reason for such High gas prices. Therefor those who voted for Dubya voted for these things especially those that voted for Him in 2004

Your reflexive and risible comparison to

Yes

Did Roosevelt cause WW2??

No, but he was responsible for America's involvement.

re: "Did Roosevelt cause WW2??"

No, but he was responsible for America's involvement.

Really? Some would say our involvement was a moral imperative. I guess you disagree.

I'm onshore basking in the glow of my 11 day old granddaughter and enjoying the weather, even the last three late night thunderstorms. Great time to be in the hottub

Germany and italy declared war upon us December 11 1941 also Germany was attacking our shipping vessels Pre Pearl harbor. Nice deflection once again Goatman.

That were carrying war supplies to their enemies in Europe.

So if Iran blocks shipments of American arms or supplies to Iraq then you would obviously agree that a war with Iran is necessary, right, Larry?

Depends if they cross into Iranian waters then Iran would have every right to block whatever. In International waters no.

Depends if they cross into Iranian waters then Iran would have every right to block whatever. In International waters no.

So if it was in international waters it war would be justified, you are saying?

Goatman-
You're getting all heated in an argument on a liberal blog, for gods' sakes, and you accuse me of being a slave. Take a shower with a Penthouse or something, dude.

back on!

Nope sorry Goatman I did at one time have a dartboard but al las I left it out in the weather and it fell apart. So no I don't have a dartboard with certain phrases on it to choose from. I use whatever feels right at the time of posting Thanks. Please do so ever try yet again for You know not what You speak about. (See there?? That is what I felt was needed in My posting.) Why do You ask anyways??

Larry Mohr

Oh and if I was at My computer at the moment instead of my webtv I couldn't throw darts anyways since My computer is in a very small "Den" actually it was a utility room before it got converted.

In International waters should be a free from attack zone. No matter what. Now if say I attack You in international waters You have every right to blow me to kingdom come. but only if I attack You first. Doesn't matter what I am doing in international waters,

My granddaughter in the crook of my arm is too young for showers. Besides, that's a little unseemly WYA?

Okay, C-SPAN re-broadcast the Alzheimer's program this morning - this time with audio.

They are so far behind any serious analysis that I'm giving up.

Tanzi did not mention cannibanoids or marijuana therapy once. Did not connect the 30 year old just developing the disorder with AP0E4 gene. Diet was not mentioned. He just asked for more money for beta-blocking drug development.

They admit it's the number 7 killer, but REFUSE non-pharmaceutical remedies.

Cretinous hardly encapsulates his behavior.

Okay, I found out why they don't want the AP0E4 data discussed - legal constraints! What a crock of shit.
