McCain Has Mole-Like Skin Removed

ABC News ^

[Coldwater Creek]

Melanoma doesn't always come back in the same place. My husband had one on his face. Gone for 10 years, then reappeared internally. The docs took forever before they found it. Too late by then and he passed away a year ago.

Trying to blame the voters who chose not to vote Republican (not me) is assinine.

Of course it is the fault of the voters. They're the ones that put them in office. (Someone who doesn't vote isn't a voter.)

[ConservativeMind]

They obviously could have written that title better.

However, they are liberals, so they choose not to for comedic effect.

[WayneS]

Liberal, Conservative, it makes no difference.

If THEY set us up with comedic material it is our (not so) solemn duty to use it!!!

It seems the libs DO provide more of it, though.

[IonImplantGuru]

The RATS will pounce on this.

Apparently the headline writer is a 'Rat, because McCain Has Mole-Like Skin Removed has to be one of more atrocious leads I've ever seen.

IMHO, they've already pounced!

He could have a lumbar derangement or piriformis muscle injury. I suspect you’re right. He’s got a trochanteric bursitis from the “washed up jock” syndrome.

[CaliforniaCon]

My reaction to this was “Oh, here we go!”

Gee, THANKS ABC news for the big report! I have something on my right temple that needs removing, too — doesn’t look like much but you never know, eh?

Better alert the media. Interesting that they are always atwitter when any president or candidate has some little thing or other removed — Better they should remove their own heads from their a.... Never mind.

[Kleebo151]

These days, having a mole elicits more attention than a politician being caught with a mistress and a love child.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This should dominate today’s news cycle...

"While Senator Obama wrapped up his whirlwind tour of the geopolitical summits with world leaders in the Middle East and Europe, challenger McCain held a fundraiser in San Francisco -- which was interrupted by protesters -- and then headed off to have cancer removed from his forehead."

"That's all from your local Marxist Slimeball Media."

[Lexinom]

If they do, they’re welcomed in my yard.

[Dooderbutt]

Randi Rhodes was saying this is they way to get Romney in...

[Dooderbutt]

Mr. Mole woke up one morning on Mr. Johnson's farm. He poked his head up from the hole and said "Mmmm...Mrs. Johnson's cooking breakfast...I smell pancakes!"

Mrs. Mole pops up next to Mr. Mole and says "Yeah - I smell bacon, Yum!"

Baby Mole is trying to get up to take a whiff..."Darn, all I smell is molasses!"

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Amen.

McCain’s medical condition has been recently affirmed as excellent by examiners. I would give him at least 80 - 85 in good health/good mind.

A past history of recovery from skin cancer is hardly comparible to the unfortunate brain-tumour situations of Kennedy and Novak.

In truth we all are subject to fatal ailments as soon as we are born. We are incipient cancer cases from birth, but repress pathology through the satisfactory operation of our immune systems.

Many of the youth of today are going to have plenty of serious medical problems well before 50: particularly diabetes leading to heart and circulatory disease.

Of course it is the fault of the voters. They're the ones that put them in office. (Someone who doesn't vote isn't a voter.)

Boy have you got it backwards.

Citizens don't represent politicians, politicians represent the citizens and serve at their behest.

If politicians decide that they don't have to represent citizens, it is the citizens choice, responsibility, shoot, even their civic responsibility to vote them out of office.

The GOP has been trending more and more left, especially on the size of government, for some time now. I doubt the GOP lost many actual Republicans, but I bet they did lose a lot of small 'l' libertarians who saw them as just another bad copy of the Democrats in many ways.

[Manic_Episode]

They should have kept the mole and got rid of the malignancy.

[SoConPubbie]

That was what got the press in the runup to the election, not that Republicans has fallen off of pushing for conservative ideals.

There was more to the story than that, and you know it.

The lack of fiscal responsibility on the part of the GOP probably led a whole lot of small "l" libertarians deciding that the GOP was no longer their Home.

Couple that with the lack of leadership in "FoleyGate" (Leadership knew about it all along) and I several prominent Republicans pushing for AMNESTY and you have a whole lot of rightfully ticked off GOP voters.

[MEGoody]

Boy have you got it backwards.

Oh? So people DON'T vote for these clowns, but they get into office anyway?

Uh, okay.

Like it or not some voters will pay attention to things like that with a 72 year old candidate. I think thats why McCain’s VP choice is more important than any VP choice in living memory. He has to pick someone that the voters trust because the voters have to be ready for the possibility that he doesn’t complete his term/s.
