mccain...stroke victim?
my grandmother had a series of small strokes
they went mostly untreated as she didnt report them
they led to the major stroke that killed her


this is pretty much what her face looked like after what the doctors named her second stroke
she was in no way as ugly as this bastard but you know what i mean

see the droopy eye one larger than the other?notice the lack of expression on one side?

2. Could've been a bout with Bell's Palsy too.
I've had it and even though most of the paralysis goes away, a little of it stays in some instances. The affected side of my face is slightly droopier than the other side.

3. Some of that might be due to the cancer surgery...but that doesn't mean he didn't have a stroke.
His mental faculties seem to be slipping.
They want to keep him going just until Inaugaration..then let the barracuda take over.

4. If you cover up the left half of his face...
...and look only at the right---then cover up the right half and look only at the left--it's uncanny
how the sides don't even look like the same person.

I noticed his left eye was really bad last week. I watched his speech in Cedar Rapids live--and his
left eye was half opened the entire time. I thought he was squinting from the sun, but he wasn't because
the sun wasn't in his face.

I thought he was on major tranquilizers, because a few days prior, he had been a real agitated bastard--running
all over the country--telling any reporter who would listen, that he was running a nasty campaign because
Obama refused to do town-hall meetings. He was like a caged weasel on acid.

I thought they just medicated him and that the drugs affected his eyes and face.

5. it could be
my father died from a stroke in 2000. In photographs in the month or two before he died there is a distinct droop to one side of his face, just like the picture of Magoo.


Peace

8. The different size of eye pupils is obvious and, to use a medical term, freaky!

9. I wonder if he wets the bed?
My best friend had a great Aunt who would wet the bed when she suffered small stokes. eventually the big one hit, and she passed away

10. I really, really think there's something wrong with him physically which is why
He is making himself scarce with the press & ditching the debate, etc. He has this new thing where he can't talk AT ALL without looking down at index cards, have you noticed? He used to be pretty off the cuff at least from the looks of it, now he looks pained to address anybody and makes extra short work of all communications.

12. If he has had a stroke, they'd be playing up the pity card
as much and as fast as they can...while replacing him on the ballet..

14. I've noticed that before too and wondered the same thing.
It's more noticeable some days than others. I know it's the same side as the cancer surgery, but why would that have affected half of his face instead of just the isolated area.

16. Here is what I think might be up:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7176837


I'll have to study up a little better tomorrow, but seems to me that a neuroma, or tumor of the nerves or nervous system could bring on that set of symptoms.

Of course, this is just me tinfoil hatting.
