I appreciate your health expertise Dr. McDougall, but cannot follow the fallacious reasoning that would lead you to conclude that the candidate's health habits alone are grounds upon who will better serve our Republic--or preserve us a nation. In this most critical election, that is what is at stake.
You give little credit to McCain for QUITTING smoking--he is an EX-SMOKER. Obama has been smoking a long time too--more that 25 years. He confessed to grinding cigarette butts into the dorm carpet in college with fellow Marxist sympathizers who were angry at the establishment and were finding ways of striking back--whether it was blowing the roof off the dorm with punk music or acting out in other ways. McCain just went to prison camp for a several years and refused to leave when offered the chance, because they wouldn't release everyone. They suffered terrible torture---many did not survive. You are very cavalier to criticize someone who has given selflessly and has never held the tenants of our Constitution so lightly as to trample them underfoot.
Obama has proposed that this healthcare system--bloated and inefficient to the extent that it already has government tampering in the form of Medicare/Medicaid--now needs to be much more government controlled. We who pay attention (or who have been in government, like myself) know there is no poorer manager of ANYTHING than the Federal Government. Clinton ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to give mortgages to millions who could not afford them, and that is what has come home to roost now. It's a runaway train, but Obama wants us to completely hand the reigns over to the ones who created the mess to start with--the least accountable, most irresponsible den of thieves going--our Liberal Congress. Remember, they hold the purse strings.
Obama doesn't appear very healthy to me. He looks like death warmed over in fact. And I am absolutely certain that this cigarette smoking liberal who moves in the most questionable circles is completely qualified to grind our Constitution under his heel along with the butts in the carpet. Ideas have consequnces too, not only personal health choices. Their personal choices affect them personally, but their IDEAS will affect us all, and Obama's ideas are the most radical ever voiced in my lifetime--Hitler reminiscent rhetoric that just tonight advised us Americans that he must re-shape this country into a socialist state, equal oppression for all, and that "we can never go back to our former way of life." That means a Constitutional Republic gets trashed by a skinny liberal just as easily as a fat one, but the individual freedoms and liberties that provided Obama and other discontents with their ivy league educations will not be available to future whiners. What do we tax payers have to show for our investment in the likes of Obama (in addition to elevated blood pressure)? An angry, misguided malcontent determined to make us look like every other failed socialist society on the map. I don't care what he eats for breakfast--but I can positively identify him as the Jabba the Hut of the Pilgrim dream of individual opportunity that once defined this nation under God. And for that kind of insatiable avarice and ambition, nothing is ever enough.
