    @George-K Thanks, having read the op-ed as archived by the Internet Wayback Machine, I want to go a step further and post this question:

    Would we ever support a deaf/mute person to be a U.S. Senator (or any national elected office)?

    What does being a deaf mute have to do with cognitive function?

    There are three in my wife's extended family. Provided you can sign, they can carry on a pretty rapid conversation, complete with the occasional curse word. They all read and write pretty well...One has a college degree.

    So what's yer point, bud?

      Would support Fetterman if he wasn’t an idiot without the stroke.

      Just curious, what evidence would you cite to support your claim that Fetterman was an idiot without the stroke?

                  Considering his stroke, I'm impressed with how Fetterman's doing. He gets the question, and despite his speech problems, responds appropriately and seems to "get it."

                  He's not coming off as an idiot or brain-addled.

                  Even though he's an idiot.

                      Oz says he'd support Trump if Trump is nominated.

                      Fetterman would support Biden "If he chooses to run."

                          @LuFins-Dad nope, he didn't. He said, basically, it was "legal."

                          He also waffled, a lot, on fracking. It was a "I was against it before I was for it" moment.

                            The whole thing is weird, all he needs to do is say “I’m Sorry” and he refuses to do it. Even the guy he pulled the gun on says he doesn’t have hard feelings. Hell, I think he even said he’s hoping Fetterman wins (which again shows just how bad of a candidate Oz is).

                                Fetterman's camp is blaming his performance on errors in the closed captions.

                                Do they even have that in the US Senate?

                                        @Jolly so I wasn’t the only one to have noticed that, eh?

                                        I wonder if this was something that was discussed in the pre-debate negotiations.

                                          CNN, once again, covers the news, with a pillow, because it might reflect badly on a Democrat.

                                          It was tough’: Fetterman supporters voice concern that debate performance will sway undecided voters

                                          Democrat John Fetterman’s debate performance has intensified the focus on his recovery from a stroke, leading some supporters to worry that his current post-stroke limitations could affect his narrow lead in the critical Pennsylvania Senate race against Republican Mehmet Oz.

                                          If Fetterman’s showing changes the trajectory of the race, the debate could have nationwide ramifications, with Pennsylvania representing the best chance for Democrats to pick up a Senate seat in the evenly divided chamber. A CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released earlier this week found that 51% of likely voters support Fetterman, compared to 45% for Oz, an advantage narrowly outside of the survey’s margin of error. And a CBS News poll also released this week found a tightening race, with 51% of likely voters in Pennsylvania backing Fetterman and 49% backing Oz.

                                          And there, at the bottom, in the very last, the 51st paragraph, we have CNN's medical specialist.

                                          “Fetterman’s residual neurological injury is substantial,” Reiner said. “Much greater than his campaign has led the public to believe. It’s more than just processing hearing. It’s incredibly sad to watch.”

                                          Oh...

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
