Is John McCain dying?
I have been concerned for some time that he is in bad health. The pictures shown today appear to show almost open sores on his face which looks bloated as if he is taking some sort of medication. He looked like a ghost in the press pictures on the Bush plane, and i can't understand his support for this man. He seems shadow of himself.

1. Good call.
He has become an albino version of himself. That does not point off to robust good health.

2. I noticed that too.
I didn't notice his face, but he looked frail in his movements on the plane with Bush.

33. They cut out a very big part out of his left side

........I am familiar,my father is going through the same thing since years..........!


More than 6 month ago (after his surgery) I told my husband, he is going through the same thing like Dad, they both will di, they swell and they look very very pale.............

That might be the reason, McCain is looking so bad and is going on with Bush, because it doesn't matter anymore


:(

4. McCain had been diagnosed with skin cancer in 2000
Snip:

U.S. Senator and war hero John McCain has been found to have a dangerous form of skin cancer, melanoma, for the second time. The senator who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for over five years may now be in for the battle of his life.

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer and is frequently associated with prolonged exposure of the skin to sunlight.

http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=14443

That was back in 2000. I remember him having another bout with in in 2002 or 2003.

He has looked unhealthy for a while. He may indeed be dying.

5. He's got to be sick in order to still be whoring for BushCo...or else that
is what is MAKING him sick. It can't be good for a person to be so involved with such evil, twisted fuckers.

9. ugh, i don't like this thread. he has always been very white
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 10:57 PM by JI7
and he has been treated for skin cancer. when someone is very light skinned and lives in a warm area like arizona they are very much at risk for skin cancer. recently his wife has had a stroke so i'm sure there has been some down time from that.

but from the work he does and his speaking he seems very much able.

11. Holy shit
That's not good. I've seen some unflattering frontal shots of him recently, but this is very glaring.

Is it me, or doesn't that look like a surgical cut on his face?

20. He has had melanomas removed from his face.
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 11:20 PM by tblue37
My brother had a melanoma removed from his face. It leaves a significant scar. I have also heard that he has had some sort of plastic surgery for it. My brother's scar is quite deep. He covers it with a beard.

12. Oh how I wish
He's such a smarmy fucker. He's a whore for any Republican administration, no matter how bad they are. He's got no conscience whatsoever and zero credibility.

The one fingering herself.

21. Parts of this thread are very ugly
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 11:43 PM by lwfern
It's one thing to speculate on if he's healthy, or to discuss whether we think he's lost all credibility and left his reputation behind in the process of campaigning for Bush.

It's another to just be downright spiteful and full of glee at a person's health problems. We can do better.

29. He looks bloated.
But let's face it, it could be just a normal aging process.
Doesn't mean he is dying.
