Now that the Clinton's have released their tax returns, we need to start putting pressure on McCain
to release his medical records.

From what I heard on Thom Hartmann this morning, he has not released them for several years.

He has had cancer, and as we all know - fits of rage. People are beginning to question whether he suffers from some type of PTSD.

1. Isn't it required for a
Presidential nominee to release medical records?

On one hand, it's none of our business if the guy or woman has an STD or something, on the other -- if there are serious health concerns that would be a factor in their ability to serve.

2. You would think that the public needs to know the health of a nominee.

3. Agree -- but is it required, do you know?
Come to think of it, is there an age limit?

4. PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder

6. STD = Sexually Transmitted Disease
Which is why I said if a nominee had an STD, it would really be none of our business.

5. That's just silly
and asking for trouble.
