It’s pretty sad when you need to resort to using a would be candidate’s medical condition to scare folks into supporting someone else.
Is your candidate that bad you need to do this?
If the doctor’s say he’s fit to run, then that’s good enough for me. It should be for you too.
Every time John McCain appears on TV, someone on Free Republic says "he looks awful" or "I wonder if his cancer is coming back". John McCain happened to have a very visible cancer, and the treatment caused side effects that linger to this day in the swelling of his face. Should we not bring that up?
Rudy had prostate cancer that was supposedly cured, if he showed up to the Iowa State Fair, and had obviously lost weight, looked drawn out, and just looked older than the last time we saw him, wouldn't you think questioning of his health would be appropriate? If it would be ok for us to question McCain or Guiliani, why can't we question Fred?
I honestly think that if Fred was sick, he would not throw his hat in the ring, I do believe his doctors, but I also wonder why we should not be questioning him in light of a diagnosis that has almost a certain (according to his doctors) chance of recurrence. Why is it off limits?
We know without a doubt that if he becomes the nominee, that 60 minutes, 20/20 and all those types of shows will do exposes on his type of cancer, and point out the statistics that state that his type of cancer does reappear. It may be treatable, but it will come back.
