Clinton cites Kennedy assassination in primaries

In a startling article, Clinton has cited the assassination of JFK's younger brother Robert, in 1968, in relation to why she is not backing out of the race just yet. Perhaps this is a signal of some sort to someone out there, but the media will definitely not let this story go for a while.

As sad as it is, I found this video on YouTube in regards to his assassination, something I knew little about.

What's in John McCain's medical records?


He'll be releasing everything about his repeated cancer surgeries. But he won't release his psychiatric records, which hold clues to the effect of his Vietnam captivity, which included two years in solitary confinement. It is well documented that the sort of treatment McCain endured can harm the mind.

Small highlight from the article...

Presidential candidate John McCain has survived three plane crashes, four melanomas, and more than five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, enduring torture and solitary confinement. There would be questions about his health and his fitness for the office he seeks even if he weren't turning 72 in August, and even if he weren't likely to be running against a man 25 years his junior.

On Friday, after repeated pledges to do so going back more than a year, the McCain campaign is set to release new information about the Arizona Republican's health history. The release, according to the campaign, will cover the year 2000 forward, a period when McCain had three of his four skin cancers removed, as well as lymph nodes and part of a salivary gland. It will not, however, include McCain's psychiatric records, which McCain allowed a select group of reporters to examine in 1999 but have never been released to the public. The new information is unlikely to quash recurring questions about McCain's age, his bouts with cancer, or how his experience in Vietnam may have affected his mind.

The Nightmare Ticket Is Dead


In what appears to leave Clinton with no hope as she continues on, her dream of at least becoming the VP has all been but wiped out. When asking Obama directly if she could serve as his VP, he simply said "No", and that he will be finding his own candidate.

Unapologetic Hagee Says Hitler Statement Was "Mischaracterized"


In regards to the recent Huffington Post story on Hagee, and his Hitler comment, he has recently come out to address it.

His own words,
"To assert that I in any way condone the Holocaust or that monster Adolf Hitler is the biggest and ugliest of lies," Hagee wrote. "I have always condemned the horrors of the Holocaust in the strongest of terms. But even more importantly, my abhorrence of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism has never stopped with mere words."

McCain Backer Hagee Said Hitler Was Fulfilling God's Will (AUDIO)

In a story similar to that of Rev. Wright and Obama, now McCain's pastor John Hagee has caused controversy, with his take saying that Hitler was fulfilling God's will, and that Jews are meant to be hunted. With McCain endorsed by him, this is almost no different than the Rev. Wright/Obama issue, who he has relationships with for over 20 years.
