Just waiting for some lib to point out that McCain probably got his cancer from smoking cigarettes and he will probably not finished a 4 year term.

News reports mention the smoking with that tsk-tsk between the lines, but here in BC country (Bitter Clingerville) the rednecks will relate to him all the better.

I wish some video of McCain’s stay in Hanoi Hilton would come out. He’s the only one of the 2 candidates our military will respect as their commander in chief. Watching it was a tear jerker for me. Shows McCain has been tested as he claims...as if we didn’t already know (those of us with eyes and minds).

Obama still smokes, which will shorten his tenure as President for Life and Great Leader of the People’s Republic of America.

yeah, saw the article about this video on Yahoo as well. Early in the article statement was printed how the smoking could have a “negative effect” on how McCain was perceived (paraphrased). Oh...must be why Obama won’t allow himself to be photographed doing the same...and maybe why the press has so little access to him on the campaign trail, he’s catching up on the nicotine he couldn’t get while giving his teleprompted speech.

Obama still smokes cigarettes in hiding. And, according to Larry Sinclair and folks on the street in Chicago, he smokes crack.
