If elected, john mccain would be the oldest first term president in the history of the united states.
This isn't inherently bad, except for the fact that john mccain has had repeated bouts of cancer and is quite possibly exhibiting signs of early onset alzheimers and dementia.
Given what is known of john mccains health history its altogether reasonable to question his ability to fully serve as commander in chief.
According to a panel of over 30,000 doctors he might currently have a type of melanoma that has a survival rate of less than 2 years.
We, the voting public, need to know the state of john mccains health and fitness, both physically and mentally, in order to consider voting for him.
The problem is that john mccain is unwilling to release any of his health records.
He has over 1,000 pages of medical records that are currently under lock and key, and that he won't release to the public or the media.
If senator mccain is fit to serve as commander in chief he would then have no reason to hide his medical records.
If he wants to prove to the american people that he is mentally and physically fit he should release his health records immediately.
According to medical actuarial tables and given john mccains history of health problems there is a 25% chance that he's suffering from early onset alzheimers, and a 50% chance that he wouldn't actually be able to serve his entire first term.
If he releases his medical records he'll be able to show whether the public should or should not be concerned about his physical and mental well-being.
Please forward this on in order to pressure the media and the mccain campaign to release john mccains health records.
Thanks,
Moby

My medical records are private and I intend to keep them that way. There is no reason for him to diverge personal information other than his blood type. He certainly seems alert and vibrant to me. He has my vote.

It shows how upside-down the country has become in the last few years under President Bunny-Pants that even someone like Moby reflexively calls the president the 'Commander-in-Chief.' The president is primarily the Chief Executive, the Chief of State, and the Chief Legislator. His civilian role over the armed forces should not be considered his primary role, no matter how much the GOP wants it to be. Referring to him first and foremost as "Commander" (or “Commander-guy” as President Numb-nuts calls it), only makes sense if we are primarily a warring nation. And as much as the Republicans think war is "totally awesome," people with a functioning brain know that's not what America should be about.

The fact that McCain thinks he doesn't have to reveal his medical records, like he's applying for a CEO job on Wall Street, instead of serving the American people as our head of state, shows how much he's like Bush (as if voting with Bush 90% of the time wasn't proof enough). He's a snotty child of privilege who truly believes he doesn't have to do what he doesn't want to, and that the people are answerable to the president – not the other way around. It's particularly ironic coming from the "if you have nothing to hide show us" Republicans who think your personal mail, your phone calls, the books you read, even your piss, should be available for government scrutiny, but when it comes to their privacy, all bets are off.

McCain has shown with his erratic, panicky campaign, his ridiculously unserious choice of VP, and his reliance on a dipshit like Lieberman to guide his hand in foreign policy (!), that he – like Bush – is too Goddamn dumb and unstable to be president.
