I just registered the domain TakeTheTestJohn.com.

The idea is this.

We've reached critical mass in John McCain YouTube moments.  Strung together, I'll bet there's 15 minutes worth of McCain flip-flops, false denials, inconsistencies or otherwise just plain incoherent claptrap.

I'm not joking when I assert that this country cannot afford to elect a President whose mental acuity is diminishing by the day.  We need someone with an agile intellect that is not prone to forgetting what he said the day before.  Imagine Reagan saying "I never said 'Tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev!'"

So I'm creating a petition website that asks John McCain to be tested for indications of Alzheimer's or similar degenerative mental conditions.  I'd like to see him take the test and make the results available to the public.

(more)

Honestly, with the number of inexplicable gaffes, misstatements and other errors McCain has made, I would think that even he, as a 72 year-old man of unquestionable honor and patriotism, would want to eliminate any doubt about his mental condition.  If he gets tested soon and everything checks out, then we can go on and he will have lost nothing.  If, on the other hand, the results are bad or inconclusive, there's still time left for the Republican Party to identify another nominee.

So how can you help?

Do you have a library of McCain clips I can use for my own supporting YouTube video?  Can I get them in MPEG format?
