John McCain had a spot of skin removed today

I don't know if this has been diaried or not already, if so I'll remove it. I know this is short but I thought it was important to discuss because McCain hasn't exactly been forthcoming with his medical records

The Swamp, a political site from the Chicago Tribune (Obama's home town newspaper) has been spending the last two days parroting McCain's talking points while at the same time mocking Obama.

My son is a Marine and he's on his way back to Iraq for his second tour of duty tomorrow.
I'm an Army Gulf War vet and I've been bothered non-stop by the military to re-up for the last two years but I refuse to do so because I hate this war and what it stands for and I feel that I can do more for my country by staying home and working to bring our guys home from this pre-emptive war of choice.

I don't talk politics with my son because I want him to concentrate on his job at hand, he know's how I feel about this damn war and he feels the same but I'm feeling pretty angry and sad right now....and I'm also feeling helpless.

As a resident of the Chicagoland area and someone who is sick and tired of the George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Fox News Channel Republican-style lying political agenda dominating our landscape, I have been a frequent poster on the ChicagoTribune.com political blog called "The Swamp".

Recently we have been joined by two paid rightwing posters (their post names are "Jeff" and "Leo T."),apparently someone (local RNC?) thinks there is to much of a leftwing post slant on The Swamp so we have to deal with these two mouthbreathing Neocons who spend all their daytime hours M-F on The Swamp bashing liberals.

If any of you have some spare time during the week and would like to join us please go to the ChicagoTribune.com web site and punch on "The Swamp" political blog.
Thankyou for listening and I'm sorry if I didn't do very well with this diary it's my first one and I'm still learning,Thanks again!The Swamp
