WASHINGTON – Two liberal political action committees are making an issue of John McCain’s past bouts with skin cancer in a television commercial that features his facial scar and demands that the Republican presidential nominee release his medical records to the public.
In May (of 2008), McCain made 1,173 pages of medical documents available to a small group of reporters to examine for several hours. His campaign did not release the documents and other reporters were not allowed to make copies.
Obama has not released his medical records. His campaign instead released a one-page letter in May from his longtime physician, Chicago internist Dr. David L. Scheiner, that summarized 21 years of medical records and described Obama’s health as excellent.
Medress defended the ad. “John McCain won’t let anyone look at his records in a full and open fashion…Who knows if there is going to be a recurrence of cancer,” Medress said.
This is despicable and this election season is the nastiest I have seen yet. May I bloviate?
Dee and I were talking recently about how nasty some of these liberals that we know are becoming and how hard it is to even get into decent discussions with them on the issues. They have gone off of the issues and onto crap like this because they have no substance. They usually resort to name calling and putting down the messenger.
Then they listen to experts like Matt Damon say Palin is inexperienced, while frothing over Obama who has as much experience as I do to be president.
Just look at their negligence on Fanny Mae and Freedie Mac back in 2003-2005!
Precisely. Rationality is OUT.

I so hope I can gloat after the November Election and exercise bragging rights on all these unhinged, blind Obama supporters.
It’s absolutely horrible, BZ. Such people are just plain evil!
Yeah, just plain EVIL…
A lot like folks that make shit up about other folks…
Hypocrites…
What amazes me is that two Democrats are running for office. Where in the history of our country has there been two people of the same party running against each other?
I never thought Obama had a chance until now.
