The blogosphere should scream to the heavens about this: Palin refusing to release medical records

[Politics_Guy25]

This is very omnious. What is Caribou Barbie trying to hide?? Just stumbled across this at Andrew Sullivan's blog:

Palin's Medical Records
Interesting, if this pans out:

But another peculiar facet of the Times story involves the McCain campaign's refusal, as of this weekend, to turn over Sarah Palin's medical information. Both Barack Obama and Joe Biden reportedly provided documentation to the Times.

My guess: They will never release any of Palin's medical records, let alone those from the last twelve months.

I personally think that she either has a psychiatric disorder or has some type of illegitimate child out there that she doesn't want us to know about.

The blogosphere should hammer this. What is CB trying to hide??

[Bobbieo]

1. Maybe she never had the baby she said she did - Trig!

[roguevalley]

19. SPREAD THE WORD: The NYT is coming out with an ominous

story about John McCain's health either tomorrow or shortly. Heads up!

[Ian David]

2. She's just going to release Tina Fey's medical records and pass them off as her own. n/t

[Maat]

4. LOL!

:rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. LOL

[KathieG]

3. Strange...why would a young, seemingly healthy woman refuse to release her medical records?

[Ian David]

6. It has stuff about her vajay-jay? Birth control perscriptions? Abortions? Domestic Abuse? n/t

[bluedawg12]

32. her va-jay-jay? eeew! Need Clorox brush out of brain

must wash out image. eeew.:puke:

[Raster]

39. Perhaps she had shag carpeting installed.

[boppers]

9. I wonder how many times she's been pregnant?

...That, alone, could sink her political career, just because most of the screaming "rabid pro-life" masses have no idea how often spontaneous abortions naturally happen...

That being said, I don't think this kind of information is anybody's business, and the whole "releasing medical records" part of politics kind of creeps me the heck out.

[Raster]

41. For 99.9999% of the American population, I completely agree that medical records are private

and should remain that way. However, for candidates for high office: President, Vice President, Senator, their health and longevity are certainly germaine to the discussion.

[jillan]

12. haha - your sig line is most appropriate for this thread.

[RoadRage]

5. Only 4 pregnancies.. not 5. NT

[Motown_Johnny]

7. I suppose the one thing Caribou Barbie would want to hide.... no nipples???

[grannylib]

8. I do suspect that Trig is not her child, but Bristol's...when is the last

time anyone saw Bristol in public? And whaddya bet that she has a 'miscarriage' or 'stillborn child.' Or she'll 'deliver prematurely' and they'll report the baby did not live.

Either that or it IS a psychiatric disorder, but then, one could say that about any rePigliCon...no grasp of reality; delusional....

[rainbow4321]

16. Nah..they figured either way they would be safe cuz the due date is end of Dec

Probably in their minds it would lead to 1 of 2 scenarios...they would either already be in the WH and the lie wouldn't do them any harm **or** (which we know NOW will be the scenario) they all will be back in AK and by then it willl be "Sarah/Bristol who?" and it won't matter/won't be in the MSM that there is no current Bristol pregnancy/birth.

But then the question will be if he is not SP's baby, what syndrome DOES the baby have, cuz the odds of a teen having a Down's baby is slim to none.

Did we ever find out WHY Mclame kept saying "autism" over and over during the last debate instead of Down's??

We will be able to tell on election night, though, if Bristol surfaces during the Mcgrampass/Palin concession speech and her belly is NO bigger than it was in August!

[grannylib]

31. Could be fetal alcohol syndrome...would make more sense for a teen mom than Down...

[rainbow4321]

37. Back when it was first announced Bristol was pregnant

and there was still speculation that Trig was Bristol's, the phrase "Irish twins" was being passed around the 'net...passed around ALOT.
But given ALL those pics of Palin looking so not pregnant leading up to
birth, I still think she is Trig's grandma. Throw in that article in the NYT a month ago that had her saying that not even her own kids, mother or staff members knew she was pregnant til going on 7 months...

[mitchum]

47. That has been my suspicion all along...

he obviously belongs to Bristol
and that the disability is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, not Down Syndrome

[eridani]

33. McSame is just fucking up. Never heard of autism being diagnosed that early n/t

[dmr]

27. I'm with you, I have doubts of Trig not being her child

way too many questions regarding that labor and delivery - way too many.

And, again I agree there could be a psychiatric disorder - something maybe she should not have to hide or have held against her.

Who knows?

:shrug:

But we do have a right to know whether candidates for high office are fit and healthy.

[treestar]

51. Repukes would not get treatment for a psychiatric disorder

They would never admit to having one.

[salguine]

10. She's no woman...she's a MAN, BABY!

[Vektor]

25. Now THAT wouldn't surprise me.

That huge masculine head and square, chiseled jaw...

I wouldn't be surprised if your assessment was correct!

[salguine]

29. Actually, I just really wanted wanted to write "She's a MAN, BABY!".

[tomp]

11. can she do that? nt

[qanda]

13. I'm almost positive it has something to do with that baby

I hate to feel this way, because I sound like a conspiracy nut but I don't think we ever got the full story on that. It just never made sense for her to fly back to Alaska, with a high-risk pregnancy, AFTER her water broke.

[sfam]

14. Be Honest. Do we really care? I mean if McCain kicks the bucket...

Wouldn't you want Palin to follow shortly thereafter, and thus, have Pelosi as President?

I mean seriously, if the rest of the nation found out that Palin was near imminent death, they'd probably feel better about the McCain campaign at this point!

[babylonsister]

15. Distraction from real issues, attention. Buncha b.s. imo. nt

[DearAbby]

17. Wouldn't medical records show

months of PRENATAL Care earlier this year?

[CampDem]

18. There are rumors up here that she is preggers again.

No birth control and well, I bet the Palin's are sort of turned on by the idea of getting this close to the white house. A horny youngish couple and no birth control?

I also still wonder if Trig is her baby at all.

This will be interesting.

[gauguin57]

21. Rumors up where? And Sarah's in her mid-40s ... how is she so fertile?

Certainly not unheard of for women to get pregnant in their mid-40s without help, but a lot of people need help by that age. Fertility is waning by that point.

Maybe when the witch doctor purged all the evil spirits from her body, he put a fertility hex on her or something. She can't look at big studly Todd in his snow-machine suit without getting knocked up!

[Tempest]

44. Easy for women in their 40s to get pregnant without help

I have two sisters who did it. One was 44 (same age as Palin) and the other was 47.

Palin is in great shape for a woman her age and staying in shape enhances reproduction in old women.

[grannylib]

46. It's happened to me, very unexpectedly, but yeah, I was a major

Fertile Myrtle until after menopause. Hell, I used birth control for six years after menopause, just 'cos I was so damned freaked out that it might happen again.

[Blasphemer]

23. I never considered that...

I don't know that it would behoove them to hide that fact. I think her approval ratings would probably improve and the McCain camp would have some positive press coverage.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. what if!!!!

hope not but if McCain got in, died and then she would be a pregnant president.

[cliffordu]

20. Psych eval. They don;t want the world to know she's got a narccistic personality

disorder.....

[Cha]

22. And what of mccain's medical records, too?

They are already an historic ticket for being the only one that both candidates have been found guilty of Ethic Violations.

How many other Presidential tickets wouldn't release medical records?

[cynatnite]

24. I have a hard time caring whether or not she releases her medical records...

It makes sense to do so since the others did, but I don't care...even if she prances around in a Virgin Mary outfit carrying a hunting rifle.

[realisticphish]

26. it's her right not to

and i really don't care. There are too many real issues for us to worry ourselves to death making up new ones

[emilyg]

30. Bingo.

[Tempest]

45. It's our right to know her condition medically

I want to know if she ever was prescribed anti-psychotic medications, if she's a pro-life hypocrite or has a history of cancer.

[realisticphish]

54. do i have the right to know YOUR medical history?

[Tempest]

55. If I were running for office, yes

And I would make sure they were released immediately upon throwing my name into the race.

[Borgnine]

34. She's the final Cylon.

[tanyev]

53. Frak! Give a spoiler alert, would ya?

:rofl:

[Monk06]

36. She got on the plane in Texas because the water broke in Wasila.. Just sayin.

[BklynChick]

38. We all know Trig isn't hers.

[Democat]

40. But she supports open government...

Oh wait, only if a Democrat gets elected!

[mwb970]

42. Everything about Palin is fake. Just like bush.

The medical records would reveal her phony pregnancy and her mental illness. They can't let them be seen. Ever.

[jberryhill]

43. If they release hers, the question will be "Why not Mccain's?"

So, they decided the better course to keep a lid on McCain's medical records is not to release hers, and then claim they are simply being consistent.

[FatDave]

48. It's strange.

They're flat out refusing, almost panicky about it. "Why should we?" seems to be their reasoning.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Why the hell won't Sarah Palin release her medical records? What is she trying to hide?

[DangerDave921]

49. What was Bill Clinton hiding?

Seriously, medical records should really be off-limits. For ANYONE running for office. I upheld Clinton's right not to disclose his records and I uphold Palin's right.

Would you want your years of medical issues (including highly personal stuff) out there for reporters to dig through? I sure wouldn't.

There is no compelling reason for politicians to have to forego their right to privacy to run for office.

[AZBlue]

50. THIS IS A VERY BAD IDEA!

You need to be careful what you want to focus on - neither Obama nor Biden have released full medical records. Do you really want to bring this up? If you read the NYT article, you'll see no one has been forthcoming with full medical disclosure.

Come on, there are real and important issues to focus on, why are you getting sidetracked by this?

[onenote]

52. agreed.
