I thought I posted the link but I guess I must have forgotten to.
I'm more worried about Obama's chain smoking and the potential for lung cancer. My mom had lung cancer and it was horrible. It eventually went to her brain. Horrible horrible way to die.
Anyway...sorry I forgot to post the link before. Here it is.

And neither does John McCain. He is cancer free - see link.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/113705
And at least he isn't at risk for lung cancer like Mr. Obama who smokes like a chimney. That is more worrisome to me.
Yes, McCain has made mistakes in what he has said. So has Obama. But at least McCain doesn't associate with radicals and hasn't had communist mentors, and on and on and on.
Don't forget about free broadband, free gas, free healthcare, hey they are "rights" now YIP

Where is the line for free college, free healthcare...
mortgage paid for, free gas and ability to sit on my rear and let everyone else take care of me? Wow, now I see the light...this prez elect will be great!!
You could find out you have cancer and need
you might have to wait 6-12 months and could die by then.
Free speech is alive and well, as is free will...
people can take anything out of context and do with it what they want; it still doesn't make it a McCain/Palin issue.
72 yrs old and 2-time cancer survivor.
Before you go off, this is NOT wishful thinking, just simple fact. The only thing scarier than a McCain presidency would be a Palin presidency.
He has skin cancer, she has a tanning bed . . . nm

cancer and national health
It's these sort of false concerns -- LOOK OUT, SIX TO TWELVE MONTH WAITS AND BY THEN YOU'RE DEAD! DEAD!!!! -- that impede progress toward a fair healthcare system. They're repetition of talking points, nothing more. A ten-second internet search would tell you, for instance, that in the UK:
-Over 99% of people with suspected cancer are now seen by a specialist within two
weeks of being urgently referred by their GP.
-Over 99% of patients with cancer are receiving their first treatment within one
month of diagnosis.
-Over 96% of patients with cancer are receiving their first treatment within two
months of being urgently referred by their GP.
Now I'll leave it to you and Google to find the comparable numbers for the US.
The larger point is, though, that if you decide this nation doesn't need universal healthcare, then you need to say exactly who it is you don't want care provided to. Because that's all this ever comes down to: Who do you include, and who do you leave out?
Glad you enjoyed them and glad to see you back!
Bravo to them. Lots of cancer in my family.
Great article. Thanks for posting it! I applaud them. Obviously early detection is key, and it makes sense that many people without insurance are not getting regular screenings done.
American Cancer Society focuses its ads on the uninsured
Has anyone seen the ads yet?

Good Article. The American Cancer Society sm
is also advocating national health care as are a lot of medical organizations. They see the problems with the current system every day and know things cannot continue as they are.
It's called a skin graft, if that, indeed, was where there was cancer removed....sm
My aunt had a cancer (don't remember the kind), the size of a grapefruit removed from her cheek, and the skin graft always stuck out after that.
True. Sure hope he does not get lung cancer while in office.nm

Or how about leaving your wife who is sick and dying of cancer to run for President
There! Don't sling mud unless your prepared to get it back in the face.
Palin has a loving and caring family that is backing her and taking care of things - and I doubt very much she is "leaving" her baby. Sheesh! Your trying to make it sound like she's dropping her child off on a cold street corner with nobody to take care of them. If your going to go there then you might as well say and what father would leave his 2 young children to run for President.
Ovarian cancer. McCain's father died of a heart attach...sm
around 70 I think. FYI, Obama quit.
For this you have to wait at least 3 years and 8 months , maybe 7 years and 8 mohths...nm

Don't worry
Humor is completely lost on them.
Let me worry about how I look
don't worry your hateful little head.
Don't worry!
I am very sorry for the worry you will have.
At the same time, I hope you did not share these feelings with your son.
here's what I worry about
I agree with you that she will back up Obama when he is the official presumptive nominee. I think she is sincere in wanting to get a Democrat in the white house, even if it's not her. What I worry about is in her neverending quest to be the nominee she has made her loyalists very anti-Obama. She's really hurting the Democrats' chances in November by fighting this so hard with the rules committee and all. We need a unified party for November. I also worry that her loyalists are going to try to bully Obama into putting her on the ticket (not a good pairing IMO), as in, put her on the ticket or we won't vote for you in November.
And......Does that worry you? nm
sssssssss
At least they don't have to worry about having to ...sm
lose everything they have worked for all their lives because of a serious illness that their insurance won't cover.
Something I think all of us should worry about.
This whole ACORN thing is just nuts. A guy who is currently in England said that he already registered and voted early which proves that voter fraud is happening. This is something that should concern both democrats and republicans. Now I'm sure a lot of these registrations obviously won't show up to vote, but what about the ones who registered and then voted the same day. What about them? I just think it is a shame. Our country is better than this. The voters deserve better than this. I'm all for getting people to go out and vote. That is our right as American citizens to cast our vote......but when dishonest people pull this kind of stuff....it just really saddens me.
Oh, don't worry about me...
I'd pass. Would you?
Well, don't worry............sm
you won't get rotund on Obama's ice cream. He will make sure of that.
Still, I think you are rude and extremely condescending and arrogant to talk to people the way you do. sheesh.
Don't worry
I don't think it will be too long after January 20th that this board will be filled with "I can't believe Obama did that" or "That's not what Obama said he was going to do" He's also backed out on the promise of Change by surrounding himself with reruns of the Clinton administration. The time to not be blinded was before the election - now we have to make sure we're not fooled for the next four years.
Don't worry, they are going to have
hands!
Don't worry, she ain't going away!! she
name....she has too much fun here arguing with herself! ! I think she is hilarious, which ever name she uses.
"I won't have to worry..."
Obviously you do not watch TV. There have been numerous Obama supporters (albeit poor, uneducated people who were promised the moon to get on the bus and vote) who have been interviewed on TV stating, "I voted for Obama, now I won't have to worry about paying my mortage or paying for groceries or health care-Obama will take care of me now." I've watched those people on TV and just go to YouTube and you can watch the reruns.
Don't worry Lu...
Jack Murtha already said he'd house some of them in his district in PA. They're no worse than what he has there already. How get gets re-elected I'll never know.
O is doing nothing to worry me, FYI. nm
Don't worry...(sm)
The "pigs" will balance the budget. We just have to clean out all that manure that was left in the trough first.
nothing much we can do about it - so i just worry about
taking it 1 day at a time. If i keep my job 1 more day, i can buy some food. If i keep my job for 2 weeks, I can pay 1/2 my rent. And so on. MT is a hand-to-mouth world these days, so I dont have the time nor the energy to worry about what the big shots up on the Hill are doing.
Hon, don't worry about getting your
spelling straightened out. You got too many other problems in your life you need to get straightened out to worry about a little misspelled word!!!
No, that marriage ceremony was not gender specific, but how in the world would Adam and Steve ever have replenished the earth? Oh, I know, I am just one of those religious whacks, I guess. Thank God He gave me that much intelligence!! Good luck to you.
Not to worry. I don't think they'd be particularly
Regardless of what your sexual orientation might be.
Don't worry.
I am sure you will lose your rights and be extraordinarily renditioned by Homeland Security to one of the FEMA concentration camps for re-education before the bill comes due for this current economic crisis.
The only one who would worry about it is the one who has something to hide. sm
I could care less. I won't answer in this thread anymore.
I don't know. I worry about attorneys too
their life of fiscal sacrifice must be a hard cross to bear too...
I guess my worry is.
Like so many laws, once they are passed, they get bastardized to cover things they were not initially intended to. I think this might be worth paying close attention to. It just kind of makes me feel hinkey, if you know what I mean.
I wouldn't worry about it
Honestly, I think the last thing he needs to worry about is Hillary. I doubt he will get into the White House to begin with. The Rethugs will do anything to put a stop to that. I think they are the bigger threat in this picture.
yeah that's what i sit and worry about
What difference does it make? If she was wearing designer clothing, everyone would have something to say about that as well. Who cares what she's wearing as long as she's respectful. Gosh, some people find anything to complain about. 
Don't worry. That list will take a while
nm
Are you deaf? I said not to worry, we will be ..sm
living in a democratic country when Obama is president.
Don't think we have to worry about communism
Russia is in worse shape than we are. From CNBC, as of yesterday, we were down 17%, Russia 42%. I can't remember if that was the currency value or markets. Maybe you can check. I'm trying to work. LOL
O doesn't have to worry about NY
Well, I doubt O has to worry about carrying NY, I think it is pretty much a given. Wonder how much influence they have on other states.
Don't worry about the poster below
You stick to your gut instincts. You are right on so many levels. Most of what you say is true and we should all try to buy what is made in this country and discount any companies that have moved our jobs overseas or over the border.
Obama has some wonderful "butterflies and gumdrop" view of thinking he can be everybody's buddy, including Pakistan, which you notice he pronounces much differently than most and that says a lot to me, as well as Venezuela, Brazil, Russian, Cuba; the list goes on and on. Heaven only knows what deals with the devil he will make to get them to like "him" and I can guarantee you he will make this all about him.
The very idea that he tries to portray to the people in this country that 200-250K somehow makes you rich is a very deviant, sneaky, way of trying to mould a picture to the middle class of those "mean old rich folks" who have more than you like that is a terrible thing. How dare someone have something more than you! Isnt' that terrible? Don't you think we should take their money and partake? That way, none of you will have to work hard to achieve anything. Well, we have too many of those in this country that already sit on their duffs and do nothing but wait for the next check. We don't need to further the welfare state we are already in.
Your beliefs are dead on, so you just stick with them.
Not to worry. You are not the crazy one...sm
Pretty scary even if the poster represents only a small percentage of Americans. Thank God above they are in the minority. Keep the faith. Better times are coming. THese are just the tactics of desperate ignorant people but we will rise them up with us and show the world that Americans as a whole are not ignorant, gun toting, bigoted war mongers. Keep the faith.
is not going to have to worry. Whoops!
