Something positive for a change. From Rolling Stone, of all places.

As I recall, the MSM raised the same “health concerns” regarding Dick Cheney. The guy is still with us. Anything to besmirch the opposition.

Thanks for posting this thread. It is always good to get the facts.

We knew this was going to come out sooner or later. The media has to crush Cain from some angle, but in this one they imitate “concern”. What they are really doing is raising the issue, obviously, to remind voters and plant the seed of “risk” with Cain. This is not over. It’s abominable and it will get worse. One by one, they are going to take down our candidates until they get Romney.

When someone laughably brought up Cain’s age as a concern a couple of days ago, I said, “Next they’ll bring up his cancer.” Right on cue. Next, I suppose it will be, “That one picture has him wearing sunglasses, but it doesn’t look like anyone else is. Is there something wrong with his eyes? I don’t think I could vote for anyone with failing vision.” For cripes sake, they’ve brought up his hairline as a reason he is unelectable.

>> Would that be an abbreviation for “John Kerry, Faggot” ?

ROFL!

Tell you what, speaking of medical issues... “JKF” sure had a seriously bad case of cranial-rectal impaction, didn’t he?

In 1992 Paul Tsongas, survivor of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, won the New Hampshire Presidential primary. In response to questions, he insisted that his cancer had been cured, and he would be healthy enough for the office.

He died of pneumonia and liver failure on January 18, 1997, two days before his term as President would have ended had he been elected in 1992.

Hey, McCain got the nomination despite a history of melanoma.

I know they say Johnny boy is disease-free, but I swear that tumor has eaten into his brain.

Cain knows that he would be dead if 0bamacare were in effect when he was sick. I trust him to kill 0bamacare if elected.

Cain has vowed to make some of his health records public.

He should do it as soon as obummer shows his Birth Certificate, all schools grades, where and how he got his Connecticut SS number, his medical records, his current blood tests, checking for pot, crack, coke and regular smokes.

The always predictable media.

They’ll be all compassion as they spell out how this “probably” won’t affect his ability to lead. Then they’ll have a panel with “experts” at least one of whom will paint a very dark scenario. That will be picked up by newspapers and other outlets, and “probably” will become “risky.”

That’s the way the media operates.

What enemedia WILL NOT DO is demand little barry bassturd’s medical records. A coke head smoking bi-sexual is likely to be proven via his medical History, so his kneepad sycophancy (the media) will absolutely not air his records.

What was the wisecrack Cain made to his doctor? Something like “Doc, can I survive with just a sliver of my liver?”

It made me smile and it shows the man’s spirit in the face of adversity.

We could do worse than this man in the White House for 4 to 8 years.

Kennedy was more at risk for serious health issues because of his sexual degenerate behavior ... remember ‘Frick and Frack’?
