The pain from old war injuries is exactly what makes him frail. If you’re not physically well, you cannot possibly expect to be able to have the stamina to endure the rigors of the presidency. I await various comments about how tough McCain is today.

Polio; wheelchair. FDR. Addison’s Disease; cortisone shots. JFK. Depression; not treated. Lincoln.

Dave, some people, particularly those of Presidential caliber, suck it up and do what they need to do. Other people, of lesser calibre, just head on up to the Great White North to hunt ankles.

Let the whiners gripe about the marginal overreach in this ad. Call it an idiot tax for Team Obama and their failure to do basic research on the original spot.

Unfortunately, when surrendercrats are elected, we all end up having to pay the idiot tax, not just idiots like Rywell.

You are welcome Bill.

I was drafted in 70, my number was 24. LOL

Best thing that ever happened to me.

Why was McCain’s little health report over a thousand pages long?
Dave Rywall on September 24, 2008 at 1:46 PM

Why has Obama only released one page of medical records?

He could have syphillus eating his brain for all we know. It would explain the uhs and lack of direct answers to questions.

Yeah.McCain is exactly the same guy he was 40 years ago. Exactly.

A 72 year old guy so frail he can’t sit at a desk and type on a keyboard is really a healthy guy – perfect for a high stress no sleep job like the president.

Dave Rywall on September 24, 2008 at 1:09 PM

I don’t know, maybe its because he’s already been through that kind of stress and worse.

Well it took $5583.43 worth of makeup for McCain for a recent TV appearance. You do the math.

Dave Rywall on September 24, 2008 at 2:18 PM

I’m pretty sure that’s pocket change compared to the average episode of “Oprah” or similar programs.

*eats*

Damn, Dave. Don’t be hatin’. It’s not his fault all you can afford is the drug-store stuff.

BillH on September 24, 2008 at 2:20 PM

You owe me a new monitor!

Call it an idiot tax for Team Obama

Works for me.

That whaaambulance should be showing up at your house at any moment. Oh, wait- my bad. National Health Care. I forgot that you’ll need to take a number and wait a couple of months.

Dave Rywall on September 24, 2008 at 2:06 PM

Your funny.

No, anonymous poster on an anonymous web board who claims to be a vet, I am not “pissing on disabled vets”. If it’s too upsetting for you to discuss McCain’s health then feel free not to. That McCain’s medical reports are so long is an obvious indication of the level of his health. That this escapes you is not my fault.

showboating at hoops for the camera does not qualify as a workout program …

But challenging the VP nominee on the opposing ticket to a game of Horse because he thinks his chances are better probably does ;)

I’m a disabled Nam Vet and my medical reports take up 2 1/2 folders…..that’s over 3,000 pages. What’s your point Spanky?……… or do you just like pissing on disabled vets?

well, yes, the health report was longer than du — oh, wait, duh1 NEVER RELEASED ANY HEALTH RECORDS!
