...for a ninth term last month.  Miller is the longest continually serving attorney general in the U.S.  He is 70 years old.

Henry Rayhons is a Republican state legislator who has been in office since 1997.  But it doesn't seem like this would be a partisan matter.  Miller doesn't have to make this an issue in order to be elected.  It probably has more to do with Iowa politicians uptight attitude about sex.

There is a case where a in Iowa where a man in being prosecuted for having sex with his wife who happens to have Alzheimers.  Here is a snippet from the article

"    The Iowa Attorney General’s office says [Henry] Rayhons had intercourse with his wife when she lacked the mental capacity to consent because she had Alzheimer’s. She died on Aug. 8, four days short of her 79th birthday, of complications from the disease. One week later, Rayhons, 78, was arrested. He pleaded not guilty….

    By many accounts, Henry and Donna Rayhons were deeply in love. Both their families embraced their marriage. The case has produced no evidence thus far that the couple’s love faded, that Donna failed to recognize her husband or that she asked that he not touch her, said Rayhons’ son Dale Rayhons, a paramedic and the family’s unofficial spokesman.

    Based on evidence generated so far, state prosecutors are likely to portray Rayhons as a sex-hungry man who took advantage of a sweet, confused woman who didn’t know what month it was, forgot how to eat a hamburger and lost track of her room."  

What say you

frankly, i dont see how someone could get sexually aroused with a lady in that condition.

i've watched both parents slip away under similar circumstances and every visit was a sad occasion.

Sorry you had to live through those experiences.

They were the ones that suffered, particularly in the early stages when they were aware enough to understand that something profound was happening to them and they could'nt do the things they had done for themselves their whole life. They were children of the depression and were not used to "being cared for".

It was all just very sad, that's why I cant understand this man's behavior.
