Palins Medical Records

Biggins

Is it just me or is it VERY suspicious that the Republicans are delaying as long as possible about her health records.

What is there to hide or reword in her files???

Tenner says an Abortion.

Or that Trig is actually her grandson.

Biggins

I suspect that they are trying to leave it as close as possible to the election day so that there would not be enough time for others to do some serious digging behind the carefully worded report.
Anything that is exposed in the little time left will have not as much exposure, etc.
I suspect that afterwards with further investigation, is will become also clear that she is a great deal away from being the image she would like to portray herself as!

Vaginal reconstruction. It's the latest.

Ye-ah.

Don't think there is anything to this myself. She is young and healthy I would imagine. Her medical records are probably quite boring but also long due to the number of kids she has. Obama hasn't exactly released detailed health records either but he is also young so not a big deal.

RedPlanet

It's either abortion or cosmetic surgery.
Just gotta wonder was it done on tax payers money.

Bit of a disgrace she has to release them. Surely even a vice president deserves that privacy

I think its been a kind of tradition all candidates have done it in modern times afaik.

Correct and right.
Palin is the only one that has released nothing and even today is stalling and stalling...

Biggins

Well, still no sign of them and people are asking questions...

See: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/11/day-six-and-sti.html

Why is there always this big splash about everything Palin? Why can't she just release the records and be done with it? It's expected of candidates for high office, so just do it and avoid all the behind-the-scene whispers.

Joking aside, I don't see why they should be released publicly. We all know about McCain but there's no need for public perusal of private physical records.

Back to the joking - I wonder if Mrs. Palin has any interesting moles or anything.......

Black Swan

Like it or not, Palin knows it's expected that she release her med records, she has had plenty of time, and she cannot claim ignorance (although I am wondering about the "ignorance" part). Why all the fuss?

This is just like Trooper Gate. First she tells the Alaskan bipartisan Legislative Committee (8 Republicans and 4 Democrats) in July 2008 that she will cooperate with the investigation and release all requested records, then the moment she is nominated for VP, she then uses executive privilege to block the release of records regarding Trooper Gate. This then causes a big splash in the media, when if she cooperated in the first place, it would have been a ripple.

Biggins

Many suspect that she is trying to leave as little as possible time for her records to be looked into in greater detail before election day.

If there was nothing in them, they would have been out a long time ago but that just my own (and a few others it seems) opinion.

philologos

That's like asking why wouldn't Obama show his Senior Thesis from Colombia University when the media requested it. Sean Hannity assumed it was because there is suspect material about his economic alignment. The argument can be fired both ways.

If it turns out she had chlamydia at some point she'd lose a lot of votes. Though as that shouldn't matter I think it's pathetic for her having to release them

Bill Clinton never released his records IIRC and I am sure there was quite a ol' wounds to his weapon with all the philandering his through the years. I do not believe a woman running for office should have to release her Medical Records this pales in significance compared to Barack Hussein Obama II <(In case you wanna look it up) who has not released his Birth Certificate to the public domain.

Has McCain released his? Or does he the just have the right look to get an exemption? BTW you can just say Barack Obama and people will know who you are talking about.

"She (Sarah Palin) is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself."

"ABC News has asked every day this week about the status of the release of information and received no updates from the campaign. It is unclear what is holding things up." Source: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/still-no-medica.html

Why the delay?


**Could she be one of the Lizard People?**

They are not called Lizard People anymore. Repteople is the PC term.

Do you have to pass a medical to be a governor?
It'd be funny if she was actually a dude at some point.

Nah, i reckon that down syndrome kid is totally her grandchild..

That should be just a straight out ban, you obviously haven't even gone as far as typing his name into Google.

Palin's medical records were released today: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/04/us/politics/04medical.html

“Governor Palin is in excellent health and has no known health problems that would interfere with her ability to carry out the duties and obligations of the vice president of the United States of America,” Dr. Baldwin-Johnson wrote.

A person should get banned for deliberately misinforming people in a post not just because they are making an honest mistake. If a user continues to post something after it's been shown to be false then we can look at a ban, or if they've a history of posting misinformation.

Where the hell is that theory coming from, read a few times here now.

Would it not be more plausable that the child is hers, considering she had it late in life?

I'm in agreement with others who have said that candidates' medical records are none of our business.

OFC it is reasonable to expect a medical report - IE to ensure that the candidate has no outstanding illnesses which could compromise his/her ability to do the job.

Isn't there a case for situations where someone is perpetuating an obvious myth that has been repeatedly debunked, including on this board, and where there's clearly been no effort to check whether the statement they've made is actually true?

The point was that, up until earlier today anyway, she hadn't even released that.

Sure, the posters on this forum will quickly and clearly point out the error in the statement and readers of the thread won't be misinformed.

I don't think we should automatically ban for it though.

This is a big smear by you, for everyone knows that He cannot run for Presidency, if he could not prove his Birth within the US as it is a requirement.

Well, nothing to stop him running without giving his Birth Cert
