Did Something Happen To McCain? Medically Speaking?

[Yes We Did]

We all saw the picture on CNN with his face looking... extremely lopsided. But watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFNifeaK2dc with clips from Tuesday and Wednesday, the difference between the two days is alarming.

It looks like his whole left side of his head dropped like a half inch. The video goes back and forth showing video from Tues & Weds... this isn't my imagination.

Something Happen? Anybody have any inside info? Watch the vid. Very strange. Looks like he had a stroke or something.

1. Bad Botox treatment?

Or storing nuts for the winter.

[Yes We Did]

7. You know... that's a possiblility.

The Botox thing. Although, I think it would be easier for him to admit to a stroke.

[dudewheresmycountry]

35. from looking at the vid.

what i notice in not his face but his eyes, one looks like its he has no control over and floats on its on, the other looks as though he does have control over which in my thoughts he has gone the Ralph Nader look....So clearly he has a medical problem. She guys 72 years old, no surprise he is not in good shape...

2. Thom Hartmann just said he thinks he had a mini stroke

[OldEurope]

3. Mononucleosis.

The Palins passed it on.

5. Did you look at the video?

Watch the video. It is VERY noticable. People's faces just don't DROP overnight without something happening.

6. well, Bell's palsy is no biggie

[Yes We Did]

No, but the three main causes of it ARE.

Bell's palsy is a paralysis of the facial nerve resulting in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. Several conditions can cause a facial paralysis, e.g., brain tumor, stroke, and Lyme disease.

Of course, if they can't say what the cause is... then they just say it's Bells Palsy.

12. He looks the same as he always did.

Stop looking for alternative theories about WHY he did what he did. WE all know why he did it.

Sheeshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................

This is Johns face, this is the SCAR from the surgery. His skin is OLD, it is OUT of collagen, and is starting to SAG, nothing more.

[Yes We Did]

14. Did you look at the video?

You either didn't look at the video or you are in denial. I'm not looking for reasons for why he did what he did.

Now... since you hate these kind of threads so much, why don't you just stop reading it.

[1corona4u]

16. You're right....I don't own as much tinfoil as you do....carry on with the stupid shit.

[Yes We Did]

18. Yes... what I thought. An uninformed opinion. What A Shock.

I have no time for rude people today.

Why don't you remove yourself. Never mind. I'll do it for you... well, for myself.

33. Who needs facts when you're Captain Ad-Hominem!

8. I beg to differ - if his health is deteriorating, it has consequences

for us if he is elected.

[Yes We Did]

10. No Shit! Princess Moosehunter Palin! n/t

[1corona4u]

15. It has ZERO consequence, because HE is not going to win. Period.

[Yes We Did]

17. Why are you still here? You don't like these threads.

If you're not adding to the conversation... you're subtracting.

Now, since this bothers you so much, why not subtract YOURSELF from the thread?

9. A Four Hour Viagra Erection Maybe?

:rofl:

[GoldenOldie]

23. Looks like skin cancer removed from eyebrow

It was obvious in watching him this morn. Having had skin cancers removed surgically and my SO having them chemically burned off, it appears that they were/are trying to apply makeup to cover it up. Notice his left eyebrow, it looks like he just had one removed or it has flared-up. All of his major facial cancers seem to be on his left side and if surgically removed, could affect his facial muscles.

I'm kinda shocked, that McCain who is an Arizonan (State with highest incendence of skin cancers), and a man who is prone to serious skin cancers, campaigns/travels without a hat, and long sleeves to protect his skin????

[Yes We Did]

26. I didn't even think about that.

Another possibility.

It'll all come out eventually.

[katandmoon]

11. I'd already noticed his eyes seemed different. Has his right eye always seemed that much more "open"

Than his left? Or is that something I just never noticed before?

(Edited because I can't tell my left from my right.)

[Yes We Did]

13. It's not that it's lower...

It's how much lower it got... overnight. If you watch the video, the difference is really noticeable. And it's not just his eye, it's his whole face.

37. LOL! Great!

39. ROFLOL

Why didn't I think of this??? :think: :rofl:

[fed_up_mother]

21. My niece has a droopy eye, and it gets worse when she's stressed

I think that's all that is going on here.

The muscles in his face have been cut, so it takes energy to "look normal," so when he's tired, he's just going to look worse.

[Yes We Did]

24. Really?

I mean, it's not just his eye. It's the whole side of his face, not just the eye.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but I appreciate the honest input.

[fed_up_mother]

27. Yes, it would be the whole side of face. It's all messed up, and muscles are weak.

ETA - And he's older, so his skin has no elasticity.

[Yes We Did]

29. It is a distinct possibility...

The only thing I question would be his ability to ALWAYS be able to keep it... "normal" before. You would think he would slip up every now an then.

Still, an interesting possibility.

[fed_up_mother]

31. I bet you there's photos of him looking pretty bad before, as well

And what's really funny is how I don't notice my niece's eye drooping in person, but it's always so obvious on photos when she's tired and/or stressed.

[babylonsister]

22. If he's sick, he should go home. nt

[City Lights]

25. I'm no Bill Frist, so I won't attempt to make a diagnosis, but I do see

a difference in his left eyelid and left eyebrow. Both are droopier in the video from yesterday, IMO.

[musicblind]

28. I say this very sincerely. I hope that he is well. I do not wish physical harm to any political

opponent. IF he is suffering medically... then get well soon.

[Yes We Did]

30. Oh no... I'm not wishing him any harm.

I wouldn't do that. You wish something like that and it comes back x3... or so they say.

I'm just curious. It seems really odd and kind of a drastic difference beteen tuesday and wednesday.

[musicblind]

34. No Worries. I know you weren't. I was just sayin'

:)

[foo_bar]

32. he's obviously smoking crack.

[applegrove]

36. Definitely something happened to his face. Very scary.
