Is anyone else concerned about Bush's stability?
After a night's sleep, I woke up today thinking, "How can a sitting president do that poorly, after a week of pure debate preparation, and four years on the job?"

If you had to go to a job interview for your own job, which you've been doing for several years, and you took a week to prepare for it with expert help, wouldn't you do pretty well? And this isn't just any job; neither was it just any interview: it had an audience of 40 million people.

But it wasn't just the fact that he bombed, it was the way that he bombed that is disturbing. The inappropriate mannerisms, on national TV. The stutters and stops. Asking to follow up, and then having nothing to say. Impulsively ignoring the debate rules to respond to one of Kerry's points. This was not an adult in full control of his faculties.

We know that Bush has postponed his physical until after the election. We know that a few doctors have gone on the record as saying they believe he is exhibiting signs of pre-senile dementia, albeit their diagnoses are without the benefit of examination. I originally dismissed those doctors, but now I'm starting to think they have a point. There have been rumors of Bush uncharacteristically snapping at people around him.

Is the president of the United States in full control of his faculties? It's a question people need to start thinking about, in my opinion, especially if he goes out and lays another turd in the next debate. Reagan got bombed by Mondale in their first debate, but came back with a solid performance in their second, putting to rest (prematurely, perhaps) the speculation that he wasn't up to the job. Bush is at the point where he should be the focus of similar speculation.

2. The News Hour had tapes of him
at the Ann Richards debate as well as the Gore Debate

You CAN SEE the problems and if he is already like this... folks the 25th ammendment applies

4. Yes!
He has deteriorated pretty rapidly. And the fact that he has delayed his annual physical until after the election is highly suspicious.

George Bush Medical Bombshell: Brain Damage Drama
by CONSPIRACY PLANET

Reports by a White House insider, published on TBRNews.org reveal that George W. Bush is suffering from unspecified medical problems, characterized by "seizures" or "ministrokes," possibly due to so-called cocaine stroke.

A former cocaine addict, Bush has exhibited increasingly bizarre behavior in recent years, indicative of brain damage (See: http://www.drugabuse.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol13N3/Cocaine.html)

Bush's mental impairment is held in check by his handler Karl Rove and Dick Cheney has become the defacto president of the United States, according to the insider's report.

Bush's performance at his latest press conference was questioned due to his anomie, characteristic of his being under heavy medication.

Also Bush's unexplained "pretzel" dive and the resulting bruise on his face several years ago are indicative of brain damage.

Medical experts suggest that mental impairment may also be a sign of HIV infection, measurable even from the earliest stages of the disease. Usually referred to as 'AIDS Dementia' it is recognized as fogetfulness and confusion.

6. Is our president of sound mind?
I really wish someone in the media would check up on this.

Just compare the 2000 debates with last night, and I think you'd be amazed.

8. If the Dean Scream and Gore Sigh are so overplayed by the media, where's
Bush Wilts??

I'd like to see the problems edited togethor and played over and over by the media.
