Seems to me that 'he deserves worse than cancer for his beliefs is pretty much the same as 'he deserves to die for his beliefs.'

That makes you and this site look bad. But hey, it's the internet, so it comes with the territory I guess. I highly doubt you would walk into a cancer ward, ask for a show of hands from Republicans, and then tell them all they deserve it.

Doesn't matter what caused his skin problems; people with a bad attitude generally have issues with their facial expression. It's "written" in their features, especially by the time one hits sixty or so. He's so obviously an angry person that I imagine even without the lesions, he'd look pissed off or upset about whatever his issues really are...an unpleasant individual, with complications from being a Republican. Why is his every solution to foreign policy issues "more war?" More military action! Yeah! Bombs are the answer! Can you say Pentagon lackey?
I'm sorry that you, RZM, are unable to see this, and hopped on the "deserves it" meme. Fail. No one "deserves" cancer. Shit happens...
