McCain's Medical Records, Should Keep Paul Going

[Change]

The Republicans should for sure keep Paul going, just look at McCain's medical history, I worry about his anger and reasoning skills more so than his skin cancer removal, and scars.

Imagine a President with all these psychiatric records, is he on mind altering drugs, and don't you think we have a right to ask. I am very worried about his state of mind.

Gates of Hell McCain is scary.

And people say that Dr. Paul can't win?

Yes, he can.

I think we have a right to see his medical records, but you know we never will until they are used against him in the general elections. He is a walking time bomb waiting to go off.

I absolutely do not believe we should be using his medical history against him. I in fact think its pretty fucking sick.

You don't have to look at his medical history, just look at his policy and his outbursts.

I think this is the only thing that a president shouldn't have to disclose.

oops.

I think this is the only thing that a president shouldn't have to disclose.

I on the other hand think that a president shouldn't need to hide his health from the public. I am sure Ron Paul has nothing to hide. I would like this election to be based on only platform, but lets face it, it is not based on platform alone or Ron Paul would be winning by a land slide already.

People vote based on bull shit reasons and can't seam to get enough of the bull shit. So I am not beneath using bull shit if it will help our cause. They sure as hell are using plenty of bull shit to further there causes.

They're interconnected though, which makes his medical condition(s) relevant.

His medical records are important though. When voters vote, they are deciding whether or not a person is fit for the highest office in the country. Medical records sure as hell are important to me if someone is going to get 5 hours of sleep per night, work 10 hour days and travel around the world to meet with leaders all the time. Not exactly an easy job.

what is sick about it ? (pun intended ?)

his medical records should absolutely be able to be seen by everyone. he's not a healthy guy, infact, a very sick guy. i'm not saying use them against him just bring out full disclosure to the american people.

when a person runs for president of the united states the people have a right to know the medical health of the candidate.

dr. paul scores a homerun!
he doesn't hide anything.

I pulled the story of the Drudge Report. The Story is already out there, we would be fools not to take a look at it. I believe some very negative stories were used against Paul. I believe he came right out to deal with them.

I was talking about his outbursts. Of course, the Potential President should disclose his medical records, he is the leader of the United States. He shouldn't run if he wants privacy.

In addition, medicine and the medical communiity is a political organization as well as a business, Privacy laws are up to the individaul, not a blanket pass for all medical records. Medical records are used in crime data collections, to protect public health regarding ill effects from drugs, or outbreaks of diseases, suicides and murders. If he doesn't want to disclose, he shouldn't run for public office.

Drudge should be held to account for this story, I just was posting it with my thoughts.

I agree wholeheartedly, and I don't think Ron Paul would approve of forcing anyone to open their medical records to the public.

What is that thing on McCain's neck!?

What is that thing on McCain's neck!?

Probably a bolt.

That is a sure-fire way to dissuade liberty and privacy-minded candidates from running for office in the future. Just because a man runs for president does not mean he is no longer entitled to his privacy. In fact, it would be better for us as a nation to have a president who values his privacy because someone who values his own privacy is more likely to value the privacy of his constituents. "Having nothing to hide" is not an excuse for giving up your privacy. In fact that argument is the same one used by governments around the world to convince their citizens to give up their rights. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about". Bull sh*t!

Well, I would tend to agree with you; however, working on the issue of suicide and antidepressants, and school shootings, etc. I look at the fact that the VA Tech shooter's medical records and court records were sealed. So, Let's be clear, there is a point when corruption hides behind the right to privacy. In addition, the President of the United States will be making important "privacy" related decisions as you pointed out. But, the big difference here is a President is also in charge of the Constitution and the Millitary, we the people have a right to know about his judgement and decision making. If his records include psychiatric treatments that deal with the mind, and he is on mind altering drugs, we have a right to know. The mind is where all the decisions are made. If someone is being treated with mind altering drugs, those drugs have an impact on the decision making process. In addition, our entire mental health system is currently undergoing a massive crisis, I would like to know exactly who has access to the President's mind, and the policies that are impacted by that mind as it relates to the the safety of the American people and the policies that flow from that mind, regardless of who that candidate is, it is not personal.

The VA Tech shooter records were sealed under the "right to privacy", I would like to know what mind altering drug he was on when he killed 35 fellow American people. Don't you think we have a right to know?
