Questions raised about Bush's mental and physical health
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 09:31 AM by Jon8503
October 30, 2004—Are there no decent Republicans in Washington who will publicly state, before next Tuesday's presidential election, what has been conveyed in late night phone calls, whispered about in the halls of power and hinted at to reporters: that George W. Bush is mentally unstable?

Say what you will about George W. Bush as occupant of the White House, but pity the man because he is a mental mess.

And it is from that standpoint that Justin A. Frank, a prominent Washington psychiatrist and the author of "Bush on the Couch," provides insight into what drives Bush.

Bush's problems, according to Frank, go beyond being an untreated alcoholic who has switched addictions from the bottle to a fundamentalist brand of religion, which now leads him to believe he is a direct instrument of God and, as such, is under divine orders to rid the world of "evil." Frank points out that the substitution of religion for alcohol is not uncommon among untreated alcoholics, also known as dry drunks.

1. He's also morally bankrupt
but his lemmings don't mind because he ain't getting head in the oval office. Instead he's getting our kids killed and maimed by the thousands for his own personal and political gain. Now thats just fine and fucking dandy to the dregs of our society (known to some as conservatives, or freepers).

2. It starts with the parents
From the listed article:
~snip~

Young George was 6 years old when his sister Robin, 3, was diagnosed with leukemia in the spring of 1953, which set in motion a flurry of extended trips his parents took with her in search of treatment. Yet, while George was close to his sister, they never told him of her illness or the reason for their absences. Instead, on the occasions she was home, he was told not to play with her.

"Robin died in New York in October 1953; her parents spent the next day golfing in Rye, attending a small memorial service the following day before flying back to Texas. George learned of his sister's illness only after her death, when his parents returned to Texas, where the family remained while the child's body was buried in a Connecticut family plot. There was no funeral," Frank wrote.

~snip~

And these are the same people who are giving US lectures on family values? I feel sorry for junior. Its no wonder that violence and coldness are basic parts of his personality. This man needs to be taken care of, not ridiculed.

3. Bush's Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Health In Serious Doubt
Bush's refusal to take his physical before the election calls his physical health into question. What is he hiding?

Two articles in the newspaper "Capital Hill Blue" have discussed potential problems with Bush's mental health and his recent instability.
