Rudy is lying about his cancer
I'm betting that what was once prostate cancer has now spread to his brain and bones. The symptoms sound identical to a good friend of ours.

2. Right now, being at death's door is a BIG PLUS for a Republican candidate.

3. That's what I thought, too, but not because of his symptoms.
The silence is deafening.

4. That's why he's in such a hurry to Emmanetize The Eschaton.
Time is running out for him to be Raptured before he dies.

5. That is precisely what I have been thinking.
And for the same reasons. Experiences with several family members and the disease course for cancer has led me to the same conclusion.

6. We're facing one right now
It started with prostate seven years ago and then he started having these headaches and near black outs. It had spread to the brain and bones. Our friend is back at home after three surgeries last week. He didn't really want the surgery but since it was pressing on his spinal cord he would have been paralyzed without surgery. He told us in October that he didn't expect to make it to Christmas.

8. I hope not.
I think republicans are crooks and thugs, but I don't wish anything like cancer happen to them.

9. But the freaks have no qualms about denying care to other people who have cancer
All the while they receive the best care money can buy.

11. Thanks Don
I don't wish cancer on anyone, but I don't have enough sympathy to share with the Rudy's of this planet.

10. Thanks for saying that.
You've expressed what many of us think. I hope he recovers fully, and goes on to lose the election.

12. I don't think so - there is a virus going around
with a severe headache, nausea and fatigue - lastinng about 24 hours, no nasal symptoms.

I just had it Saturday, and let me tell you, if I had been on a plane with it and could have, I would have turned it around.

Prostate usually goes to bones before it goes to the brain and he would not bounce back from that this quickly.

13. What would be the point of lying?
You can't run very far from cancer that's in your brain and bones. That gives him months, not years. He'll be off his feet long before the election.

15. With his ego, he probably thinks he can out-spin cancer.

17. Well the truth is
he can't be the only person who didn't inhale some of the toxic air at Ground Zero. Add that to his prostate cancer and he's got a very high risk of recurrence.

14. Stress and lying can take a toll on a body's ability to denfend itself.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if his cancer has returned.

18. Let's look at it differently..from his point of view..
Think of it this way:

...Let's suppose you did have serious cancer..What would you do?...You are not sure you are going to survive? How would you keep yourself busy..Keep your mind active from going nuts..How?
...well, if you could pick up some kind of project, that would totally involve you in some cause..to take your mind of yourself, towards some goal..Would you do that?
..Even if it meant lieing about your condition..what the hell.. you gotta keep busy, worrying yourself into the nut house??


.......so what can you do...
..........Run for President.................
.........think it over..it fits.......

In fact..I read somewhere someone's wife is doing something like that..except she is being honest with the world..
...Not rudy..not his style.......

19. Why would he even bring it up if it wasn't an issue?
Edited on Tue Dec-25-07 10:03 AM by Historic NY
He had seeds implanted back around 2000 or so thats why he was hooking up with Judith.........at least thats what he said then. It was his excuse about not running for the Senate against Hillary. Humm.... maybe a trend is about to return.
