in their standard graphic of him? Notice that every interview you see has McCain to the left of the camera and the interviewer on the right? It's to show his non-cancerous right side.

When KO mentions McCain he always shows that left semi-profile with the creepy grin. I love it.

4. Wonder if there are any anti-necrosis Republicans.
I prefer melanin to melanoma in candidates, myself.

6. Nice one
Reminiscent of Mark Twain's comment about the difference between using the correct word and the almost-correct word is like the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

Is it me, or is McSame getting whiter?

8. Maybe all his tissues are ossifying, just turning to chalk?
His eyes frequently look puffy and even his teeth look terrible -- I am afraid he's serving as a "placeholder" for the person the Cheney has chosen. I just hate feeling this way.

I just gape at the radio whenever McCain talks about "victory" in Iraq. Doesn't he ever read a newspaper?

11. I think he wears contacts,
and they're not very well-fitted. I saw an old video of him at a Senate hearing - more than 20 years ago - and he was wearing Coke-bottle glasses. His eyes remind me of a shark's - flat, black, nothing behind them.

Everything about his appearance is disturbing to me. The baseball cap he wears whenever he's outside - isn't sunblock good enough, or is that melanoma scare that bad? He's obviously not aware of reflected light. He'd look a sight better with some blusher, or some kind of makeup that would afford him a less half-dead look.

Victory. He defined it as the time when there are no more American casualties. I have the perfect solution for that - bring all our military home, and no more of them will be murdered.

He hasn't a clue. And still I'm so afraid they're going to steal this election, too........................

5. Mariah Carey does that
She is convinced that her left side is more photogenic than her right. Perhaps it's just McSame's vanity?

Or, is the left side of his face slowly melting?

9. My aunt and my sister have both had melanoma
it's about as funny as a heart attack when it happens to someone you care about. Why not drop this ugly angle of attack and go for something more relevant to his campaign instead, like, say, his foreign policy "expertise" or his famous foul temper?

It's not like we're lacking for material here and are forced to fall back on mockery of his cancer-related disfigurement, right?

12. One thing I do hate is resorting to picking on things like that.
That and name calling just show another form of ignorance and another part of america that needs to change.

In one way even though I am a liberal, these sorts of things are like taking the liberal moral high road when I come here and say I am against these sorts of attacks. I just think these things are a cheap attack tactic.

14. No dead person's grave to piss on, or brain tumor to laugh at.
Yeah, there are a lot of classy people here...

I was just pointing out that the MSM goes out of it's way to portray McCain as he wants to be seen. His age and health is a major issue in the campaign also.
