Just wanted to get the facts right, John McCain has had four bouts with SKIN CANCER, all of us have it in one form or other.

Upton and others keep bringing up cancer without stating the facts about it. He makes it out like its something horrible that will cause McCain troubles and is trying to deceive the misinformed reader about it.

By the way since you want to talk about health, McCain was given an A-OK by a TEAM of doctors and his skin cancer was okd by the top dermatoligist at Mayo Clinic.

Also, he recently took a stress test running on a tread mill for 10 minutes when in fact most people give up after 4 or 5 minutes this very healthy man of 70 ran on it for a full 10 minutes that the doctors need to get a full and complete stress test.

He released 1, 173 pages of his medical documents. Obama has released 0. The only thing Obama has done is send a one page letter from of course his family paid doctor.

Why hasnt Obama taken a full and complete physical from a real doctor at a real hospital and made it public? Something to hide?

McCain has passed his with flying colors, now it is Obamas turn.

Waiting for Obamas medical exam and medical records for the last 8 years like McCain released.

So who would win a street fight, I know who would, the healthy one who has released his medical records named McCain.

That would be like me going around the thread saying that Obama is frail and skinny because he has had aids or something.

Provide facts about his cancer that you go back to over and over again.

Here's a link to his 5 1/2 hour cancer surgery he had in 2000. In which he had lymph nodes removed as well as part of his salivary gland.
No Complications in McCain Cancer Surgery - New York Times

McCain has had other less serious cancer surgeries in 1993, 2002, and Feb. of this year.

this is light-hearted/funny/ semi-serious



i was just thinking the other day when i got in a fight with a friend when i was younger and thought. if the presidency of the United States of America was settled by a street fight who would win? Obama or McCain?

Obama looks like a strong verile man but he is inexperienced and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

McCain has been around for a long time POW, survived almost being killed in a explosion in 1968, survived/battling cancer.


Just got me thinking!

McCain, because of his previous bouts, is at a much higher risk for a reoccurrence, as are all cancer survivors.

This keeps getting repeated. Why? Obama wasn't raised particularly wealthy. Not compared to most prominent politicians. (Bush. Kerry. Kennedy. When have any of these dudes ever had to work a day?) It'd de rigeur for the political elite to be from the ruling class, and Obama doesn't make the cut. Even now, McCain has 40 times the net worth of Obama.

I know we want to ram home this image of "Obama as elitist" because he like to use them big words, but it really isn't factual. Not in the context of national politics.

So. Enough of that.

BACK TO THE TALK OF TAIL WHOOPIN'!

WC Fields was way ahead of you, gsdude. He proposed that candidates for the presidency meet in an arena and beat each other to death with socks filled with horse manure. Yass, yass.....
