Yea, no kidding. McCain's health is a real issue, and not just on the cancer front. Carl Rove brought one of McCain's many health issues to the fore today with the revelation that McCain’s e-mail ignorance is the result of war injuries affecting his ability to type. I'm sorry but this doesn’t give him a “pass.” If McCain is too physically impaired to be properly engaged in important issues affecting average Americans such as those involving the internet -net neutrality, censorship, privacy, national security, etc. - then maybe he’s too impaired to be President.
I don’t know whether McCain can actually type or not, but if he can't he certainly found a way around that disability when it was in his interest to do so, as when he wrote his autobiography. Therefore, his alleged disability shouldn’t be accepted as any kind of excuse for being uninformed.

I've seen videos of John McCain ever since he got off that plane when he came back from Viet Nam. I'm 60. And I've noticed that the growth on his left jaw has gotten bigger. Not only does he forget what he, himself says, or where he stands or stood from day to day, but I think that cancer has come back. With the kind of cancer he has had, it doesn't stay in remission forever.
Couple that with a guy who, in a panic, after a show off move that caused the fire in the first place, dropped 2 bombs on his own ship. He made a wet start of his plane, causing flames to shoot out of his plane into the plane behind him. Equate that with a flooded car engine and back fire when started. He did it deliberately. Hot Shot Maneuver. That caused the deaths of some (I believe it said) 72 men. We don't need someone who's that irresponsible and with a hair trigger temper as well, in control of nuclear weapons that he, like Bush/Cheney and his gun toting, "We,ll go to war with Russia, moll are itching to launch.

Having worked in Long term care, the Cancer is not my major concern. Mac has clear indications of mentla and physical disabilities. His short term memory is shot ( can't remember what LIEberman told him just the day befor ewhile touring In Iraq).His Long Term memory is in Doubt (or his Patriotism) since he can't recall which team he 'confessed' to the Vietcong.
He can't give a speech without constant reference to his script- unable to follow linear thought process, easily confused
His body mechanics are clear indications of some Rehab enhancement- Using both arms is often a technique to regain control and strength in the effect side after a Stroke.
It appeared as though he had a Brace under his coat helping to hold up his trunk at the beginning of the year.
He has a Shuffling , unsteady gait.

These are recent changes in his abilities which indicate he has had a acute episode (Stroke) or has finally reached a stage of Dementia which can no longer be disguised.

has extended his noodly appendages and touched McSame, he will surely be protected from all harm as the FSM (BBHN) does not want The Alaskan Breeder anywhere near the nuclear codes.

because they will reveal that like many POWs he was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a condition that would make him mentally unfit to lead this nation. His history of cancer plus his age may play a part in his health concerns, but it is his mental health that he does not want challenged.

Anyone who suffers from PTSD can see the symptoms: the failed marriage, the mistresses, the rage, the violent behavior when challenged, the inability to concentrate, the refusal to accept direction from those he perceives as his superiors by virtue of age or rank, the belief that the country owes him for his service as a POW (the constant reminders of this fact are proof of that). These are all symptoms of PTSD, and as such should be considered very serious.

His refusal to discuss his captivity until just a few years ago is also symptomatic of this problem, and anyone who treats PTSD will tell you that if it is not confronted immediately and its causes addressed, the problem becomes permanent and the symptoms become more obvious over time. After 40 years, it is taking drugs to control his actions, which is why he appears to be lethargic on occasions, and overly energized on others.

It is why his own campaign will not let him use a cell phone and are limiting access to media and the public. This campaign is one of the most massive cover-ups, in order to get Palin into DC or to give cover to Bush/Cheney for martial law, in the history of the United States. And, that is why the medical records will never be released!

If you want them, people, you better find the best, and strongest, thief to steal them because it is the only way they will see the light of day, EVER!

Anyone ever heard of privacy? HIPAA ring a bell? Meh, you can form whatever swiftboaty opinions you want to form based exclusively on what you don't know. Ignorance is easy source from which to form an argument--it's Creationism for political commentators. I don't begrudge John McCain from having every Tom Dick and Harry pilfering his personal medical history, just like I didn't begrudge John Kerry from having the Limbaugh's of the world rifling through his military records, a' la Dan Rather's "informed sources".

There's plenty enough about John McCain that I do know to disqualify from consideration for my vote--he's almost as bad as jObiden on civil liberties, and arguably worse when it comes to foreign policy than Obama. (Devil you know v. devil you don't and all.)

If you're going to agrue that folks who have had cancer could die and should be disqualified from certain federal jobs, I suggest you also try applying that learned philosophy to breast cancer survivors. If you don't end up deaf from high-pitched noises, you'll end up in a coma from all the purse beatings about your melon. That argument also ignores the fact that we're all going to die, anyway.

If you're going to argue his fraility disqualifies him, then you'd have excluded FDR, Kennedy and a bunch of other Democratic "remember when we weren't crooks" members. And that ignores the fact that his basic physicals put him in exceptional (heart, lung, weight, cholesterol, etc.) shape for someone going on a hundred and fifty. That's only, of course, if you believe his docs--and if you don't, then without better information to go on, you're arguing again from a reality you've created...er, Created.

........WANTS McStupid to die in office so their favorite little girly Kristchun wacko will be prez. That's an outcome to be dreaded. They are traitors, as is McStupid for putting the US into that position. I predict he will never release his records, because they're probably worse than anyone thinks.
