Benny, in this day and age everything is recorded for posterity which means that hypocrisy is easy to spot.
In '08 the dems made a BIG deal of the melanoma which was on McCain's health record and declared him an unacceptable health risk. Why is what was good for the dems then unfair for the reps now in what is, on the surface of it, a more serious condition?

As the 2008 presidential election draws to a close, questions have arisen regarding the health of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, and his widely known struggle with melanoma. Speculation heightened in May of this year, when the candidate released around 1,200 pages of medical records to a restricted group of journalists, who were given limited access. Their reports indicated that in August of 2000, McCain underwent surgery to remove a melanoma, and that subsequent tests of his lymph nodes indicated the cancer had not spread. Since then, controversy concerning the 72-year-old candidate's recovery has abounded throughout the blogosphere and mainstream media. Doubts about his health have become so pervasive that 47 percent of respondents in a recent poll said they were concerned that McCain would not finish a single term as president in good health.
Last week, The New York Timesran a long article reporting on the lack of information provided by the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, and presenting evidence suggesting that McCain's cancer might have been worse than his campaign—and even his personal doctors—have publicly acknowledged.
