McCain's cancer is NOT a threat to his presidency

I was stunned by a report from the medical advisor for FOXNEWS who has reviewed Sen. John McCain's post-operation pathology reports showing that his skin cancer has NOT spread.

In fact, all of his lymph nodes were negative for cancer after a tumor was removed eight years ago, Dr. Marc Siegel said 15 minutes ago.

He reviewed the public records with political reporter Carl Cameron. The same, post-surgery documents were available and reviewed by The New York Times, AP and all the TV networks.

Yet only FOXNEWS's medical analyst is the one to report the truth that McCain's cancer never spread and he has been in remission for EIGHT years. Dr. Siegel said that such a length of time in remission probably means the skin cancer will not come back. Yes, he has lesions removed. But it is not cancer renewed.

As a cancer survivor myself so far, that kind of news is very important to know about one's survival hopes.

In addition, Sen. McCain is not obese like many Americans. And his mother is alive and very alert at 96 years of age.

McCain has good genes. And his mother remains sharp. He survived extreme deprivation and torture in Hanoi.

Even though I have not endorsed him, I believe Sen. McCain is ready to lead and fight. And his ongoing speech now on the Pennsylvania campaign trail is vigorous, committed and steeped in experience from the Cuban Missile Crisis to now.

I will vigorously support him in the White House if he is elected for the good of us all, not his party or ideology.

I am an American first.

The health scare being sold to the American people by the news media is shameful. And it makes a voter wonder where he or she can go to get the simple truth free of political bias.
