McCain is 72. He's had cancer 4 times.

John McCain is 72 and has had recurring melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

Urge PBS' Jim Lehrer to ask McCain about his health records during Friday's debate:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/letters.html

This debate will deal with foreign policy, and McCain's health issues constitute a national security issue, especially when you consider how his secrecy about medical records echoes the Bush administration's legacy of lies. Will McCain's health limit his capacity to make tough decisions regarding diplomacy and military action? We don't know, because McCain is keeping his medical records a tightly held secret, made available to just a handful of journalists for three hours under close supervision.

Send a quick e-mail to Jim Lehrer, moderator of Friday's debate, with the subject line: "Ask McCain to Disclose His Health Records in Full." Then, donate to Brave New PAC today so we can get this ad on the air. We have the right to have an open discussion about this grave issue, and now we have the chance to bring transparency and accountability to politics.

Did they really have to use his cancer for a scare tactic? Just seems low class to me.

This was not a small issue. If McCain had been elected, then died in office, we'd have Sarah Palin as President right now. This was not a scare tactic or low-class politics. The health of the candidates is a very big deal.

Your a fucking asshole for putting this up. The man was trying to do what every childs dream is to do and become president. Look if he did become president he'd still be alive right now. Who cares if he has cancer or if he was a shady war hero atleast we wouldve gotten a leader instead of some lazy guy? The only reason he won was oo he's black? And now his ratings have declined abd everyone hates him the same thing happened in Cuba, and it's gunna happen here you just watch

@ALP1987 its not a scare tactic, its true what they stated. cancer would inflict his ability to run for president because he could die soon before his term(s) is over.

Sad to know he had cancer, especially four times, makes you wonder how he got it that much.

@ALP1987 Well how else was the noobie going to get voted in?

"Look! Hes old! I however am young and black, so vote for me, or youre racist! Its also worth noting the most famous fat black woman in America thinks Im worth the money Im spending on this campaign!"

To be honest though both parties threw some low punches in this race lol
