McCain releases 400 pages of medical records, unlike any other candidate in recent times. Headline: “McCain restricts access to medical records.”
McCain tells Ellen Degeneris to her face that his policy is that marriage is between one man and one woman. Headline: “McCain to attend Ellen’s lesbian wedding.”
The article goes on to say B. Hussein is lean and agile. Burried in the article is the fact that neither B. Hussein or Hillary has released any medical records.
