I strongly believe that John McCain is covering up Parkinson's Disease.
He doesn't look like the same John McCain of yester- year. I just happened to notice last year and mentioned to my wife that he doesn't at all look healthy and I noticed that every time I see him on camera, if they show his hands, he usually has a rolled up paper or something like that in his hand (I think it's the left) and it looks abnormal as though he is trying to restrain it.
I'm not trying to spread rumors; nobody has come out with any such speculation and of course there is no dishonor in having Parkinson's. I just think that one would be delusional NOT to expect the Democrats to jump on McCain's "state of health" and age if he were the nominee.
for a man his age he looked pretty healthy fast walking down the street greeting people the other day
Then don't speculate unless you have real medical evidence.
This is one reason that he appeared with his 90-something mother a month or two ago. To quell concerns about his likely longevity.
Great. First, we have the Romney Sleaze Machine and now Huckabee’s getting in on the fun. Another sleazy, scummy, politician and his supporters leaving a trail of filth and slime everywhere they go.
Hadn’t noticed that, though his voice seems more subdued than usual. Still, it’s not his health that worries me.
Probably no more Parkinson’s than your delusional thoughts
The Dems could have health issues but would never tell.
I think Hillary has mental health issues!
It’s his mental health that concerns me.Among other things...
Well, from the uncalled for comments you received, I would say you hit a nerve :)
With a short fuse...
Why speculate about the unknown when we KNOW he’s a moron?
MrArbitrage123: Yours may be an innocent observation, but it has the earmarks of an ugly rumor with a devious intent. Can it be that you are working for another candidate and are getting nervous about McCain’s rising poll numbers? John McCain is not my first choice at this point, but I find the spreading of unfounded rumors about any candidate—even Democratic candidates—to be out of bounds.
Rudy and McCain are almost 10 years out from their respective cancers, yet Fred is still only in remission from his, and even his doctors say it is not if it comes back but when. He may have a "treatable" return, but it will still require a course of treatment that will take him out of the loop when he may be needed most. I just hope that time isn't right before a general election when (if he is the nominee) he will be needed the most.
One part of all lymphoma treatments is the need to keep a patient out of the public because the conventional treatments all involve a decrease of the immunity system, at which time the patient is most susceptible to infections. An uncle that has been successfully treated for Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma was out of work for six months because of his immunity problems.
As for McCains hand, I have noticed that for years, and I believe it is due to late effects of the torture he received in Vietnam.
It a’int John “I am Legend” McCain’s physical condition I’m most concerned about-it’s his delusional mentality that bothers me. Go, Fred or Duncan.
It could be the result of what the Vietcong did to him.
They broke his arm, it had to heal on it’s own.
I believe his arm was badly shattered in Vietnam....so this might be like Bob Dole and the ever-present pen.
Not a Freudian slip--cold hands trying to type!

I see the rolled up paper in this video.
