should the democrats force the g.o.p. to address the issue

[colonel odis]

of bush's health?

should they raise the question, then demand that he say he has a clean bill of health or force him to admit that he's medicated to the gills?

it's something people are whispering about. shouldn't the white house come right out and say that bush had a physical just last .... um...... sometime way back there.

kerry let everyone know that he's cancer free. in all seriousness, shouldn't the white house say if bush is fighting something that could affect his ability to execute the duties of his office?

1. SOMEONE should. Is Bush hiding something about his health? n/t

2. I agree

there's clearly something wrong with him, and nobody's saying anything. It's nuts.

3. The problem with this is, ...

... if there is nothing really wrong with Boosh, there could be a backlash and Kerry would look like he is desperately looking for something to get Boosh on. However, if there is something wrong with Boosh, the WH will just cover it up and Kerry will still come off looking like he is desperately looking for something to get Boosh on.

Kerry should, to use a Star Wars reference, "Stay on target."

4. Yeah, especially

if it's not something that would threaten his abilities. It could just end up generating sympathy if we learn that the poor man has scoliosis or something.

5. I'd like to know why this isn't a mainstream story

How long is he allowed to postpone his physical exam? Surely there's some rules about this. Sure, a certain diagnoses would generate sympathy, but I don't think in general people will think it's a good idea to have a sick president, especially after seeing Bush during the debates. I'm sure a lot of people are shocked that he didn't turn out to be exactly like his PR'ed image. They're proabably asking what is wrong too.
