As someone with personal experience with melanoma, you are not cured. McCain must be examined regularly for the rest of his life to check and see if another questionable lesion returns anywhere on his body.
I trust you heard Thompson's response on his physical condition on MTP. Do you really believe he would run for President if he believed that the possibility of not surviving his first term due to his illness was a real question? And don't you think that he would have access to the best level of care as President?
One last question, what percentage of voters know about Freds cancer? Also do you think this info will change any general election voters minds?
What I object to is using the "C" word to torpedo a political candidate. You can bet the Hillary campaign, indirectly, will try to use it against Fred, Rudy, or McCain should they be nominated. The problem is that some voters may very well change their mind depending upon how the issue is played. Frankly, the average voter is not well-informed or knowledgeable about a lot of things. That said, it is not going to affect my vote.
I said in my first response that I do believe he is in remission, and I personally have no problem with his condition. My point was I want ALL candidates to be vetted now, by releasing the records by themselves, and not have the MSM turn it into the "Heart Disease Awareness Campaign" that they did with VP Cheney in 2000.
I forgot to add that Bill Clinton never did release all of his medical records.
And there were thousands of posts on this site that criticized him (and the MSM) for this.
