that McCain is going to die in the next 4 years?

It seems to be the primary issue that most anti-Palinites keep raising, that McCain has a high probability of dying in office. Now I'm not a big fan of Palin, but can the anti-Palinites please stop turning the possibility of McCain's death into another reason to blast Palin?

Well, because he is. Orwell is going to make sure of it. :skull:

The next response: no. They will never ever stop.

Well, he's in his seventies with a rich history of cancer, I hate to sound alarmist but it's a valid reason for worry.

The prospect of Sarah Palin as President fills me with horror - and I'm not even an American.

I'm just hoping Obama wins and doesn't get assassinated by Palin's rabble.

If McCain / Palin win I think it will be bad for America and bad for everyone else.

I'm not as convinced that their winning will be bad by default, but I can see that there is an increased possibility of more crap happening.

As it stands, I agree more with Obama on economic policy (which is what matters at this point). CEO's of large corporations are incredibly corrupt across the board and make WAY too much money. Even the private sector is taking notice of this, with some corporations offering direct shareholder votes over the CEO

It is a very serious risk, and the main reason for having a VP is for them to take over in the event of the President's death, so it is definitely a valid concern.

Why am I assumed to be the assassin?

Obviously the Bush regime has stressed all aspects of the USA to and beyond the breaking point. If Palin becomes president it will be the coup de gross. (misspelling intentional)

The guy's had cancer severely four times in his life, he's in his mid-seventies and won't release his health records. What do you expect us to think? Then he chooses the most idiotic vice president he can possibly choose.

Whats really unfortunate is potential effect that this election will have on the rest of the world. It is quite disconcerting to see the news coverage showing what some voters consider important issues, I thought it was farcical that Obama's middle eastern heritage could cause so much hysteria, followed by Bill Ayers, then we got Joe the Plumber .................................


I agree with you AG its time we look the other way whilst Orwell carries out a pre-emptive strike. Of you go little champion your time has come

I thought Chever was supposed to be the fall guy, though.

I read several months ago that he had released his health records- a couple thousand pages of them, IIRC. Obama concurrently released a brief statement from his physician describing his physical condition.

There is a slight problem, Chever *wants* the world to come to a violent end, so I think he's voting for McCain.

Wrong. Chever and I both vehemently support the robocratic party.
