FYI if he's that old and messed up like you claim, and he is still able to put up with all the crap and stress that people like you put him through daily, I'm impressed. You don't normally see that kind of resiliences in the elderly these days.
Give it time, the confusion will continue and the cancer will come back.
That's nice and everything but McCain has demonstrated symptoms often associated with extreme age i.e. confusion, forgetfulness etc. Add to that, his health problems with cancer and the likelihood that it will reoccur, usually another product of old age. McCain's advanced years should be a major talking point in this campaign.
I thought Obama wanted to talk about the issues. Nice of you to alienate the largest section of the US voting public, the elderly and their families. You should be his campaign spokesperson. I'm sure he'd love to have someone like you talking to the American public.
Are you hoping for his cancer to come back? God help all of us if Obama wins.
Of course not but sometimes facts, no matter how unpalatable, are facts.

McCain has had bouts with cancer in 1993, 2000, 2002, and Feb.of this year. Considering that track record, the likelihood that it will reoccur is extremely high and that makes his health an issue.

If you watch Barry try to answer a tough question without a script he looks to be in the late stages of dementia. And this is a talking point that will hound him. Can't wait til that old codger debates Barry. We shall see who exhibits confusion, forgetfulness, etc.
Once again, certain topics are politically correct and others are not. Transpose to another "ism" and you would be chastised.
Yes, it's interesting to watch this unfold. Attaching "ism" to a word doesn't automatically make people feel ashamed. Accusing people of being "politically incorrect" doesn't automatically manipulate them. Maybe that was true ten years ago, but not anymore.
All people have prejudices--some are unwarranted, some have a basis in logic. There was once a time when racism was a logical reason to not support a candidate. 100 years ago, for example, it would not have been logical to support a black candidate. But that time isn't now.
Sexism is also illogical in this day and age. But until we have more medical advances, it appears a growing number of people think ageism is logical and appropriate.

Good God, that's a really horrible thing to say. Many in my family are cancer survivors and their cancer has NOT come back. To hope that it does (because that IS what you are implying), just because you support the opposition is beyond low.
