Karl Rove: McCain Can't Type

[WWhiskey]

As usual, the direct attack on me, personally, for having a differing view on facts.  My experience notwithstanding, and I never claimed to be an oncologist, there is a distinctly higher possibility that McCain relapses than someone choking.  The swelling that changes on his face could result from impeded lymph drainage, as well, it could be the initial vestiges of new tumor formation.  Clear margins notwithstanding, there isn't an oncologist worth his salt that declares unequivocally "We got it all." It's simply not possible, when dealing on the single cellular level.  A few cells always slough off during tumor removal, the question on whether they remain viably intact is the mitigating circumstance.  In my family, I've been witness to this exact probability.  You just can't get all of it, it's up to your immune system to target those cells that separate during removal.

 we are all mortal, as are all the candidates, thru out history, some survive, some do not, nowere in the rules does it say he must be cancer free to be president.

I know about his surgery.  I also know alot about cancer. (my master's thesis was tumor development in Chelonia midas, which is not directly applicable in all cases (different immuno-response species wise, but does have relevance.) The observed change in pressure to the region is not completely indicative of either metastastatic cells, nor the eradication of his melanoma.  It could very well be that his surgeon somewhat "botched" his initial surgery (or found something deeper than he expected and removed more), and went into deep muscle tissue that he should not have, causing some compartmentalization. The changes to that area could very well be accounted for in this.  Prudence begs the caution though.... the swelling could also be the vascularization of tumors missed, or even created via the previous surgery. It only takes one cell shaken off the initial tumor to regrow, depending on type.  The area does noticeably swell and shrink quite frequently....I'm simply saying it is a question in my own mind, from my experience.

I'm not sold on his cancer-free statement.

Dewd.....layman's terms please....that is rather painful to read.

It does however say you need to win the election. 270+

The people will decide the ultimate qualifications.

You claim to know alot, yet do not know that a lot is two words.  Interesting....



(how's that for a direct personal attack)

Yeah, I'm a bastard that way.

Try not to take it personally.

[1pLUs44]

That's why he fits in so well at Fox... a talking sphincter to balance the talking heads.

Are you implying that NBC is better?

Pardon my space bar. It is feisty.

Nothing personal... It is laughable.  Just notice I didn't jump all over you.  There's a difference between constructive debate and what most republicans do.  Both of us could be right or wrong, you were the one who decided I was wrong enough to belittle.  Your weakness, not mine.

[myelo]

Both of us could be right or wrong, you were the one who decided I was wrong enough to belittle. 

Actually only one of us could be right and that would be me, but that's beside the point. I only responded because you implied a bunch of hard-working doctors and nurses "botched" a surgery in the process of saving the man's life, an implication based solely on rank speculation.
