Palin Medical Records
ABC News’ Kate Snow Reports: After Governor Sarah Palin said it would be “fine” to release her medical records in an interview Wednesday, the McCain-Palin campaign is feeling no sense of urgency about actually releasing any records.
Spokeswoman Maria Comella told ABC News on Thursday: “When medical information related to Governor Palin’s health is ready to be released we will make that information available.”
NBC’s Brian Williams had asked Palin in an interview that aired Wednesday, “Did I hear you just agree to release your medical records?"
Palin replied: "The medical records. So be it. If that will allow some curiosity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over. Fine. I’m healthy, I’m happy, had five kids. That is going to be in the medical records. Never been seriously ill or hurt. You will see that in the medical records if they’re released."
Comella declined to give any more information about when the records might be released or whether there were any particular issues holding up their release.

Why not ask why Joe Biden brain scans have not been released. Here is a man who had 2 serious brain surgery but no recent scans of the brain? Hmm wonder who’s head need to be examined Palins or Bidens? After Bidens gaff filled speaches and his calling to everybody’s attention that electing Obama will result is an international crisis I guess I would have to say “Biden” hands down!

supposedly obama’s birth certificate was released june 2008 but it didn’t seem to satisfy some. FOX news hasn’t taken it up which is surprising if it were damaging or never released. palin just said in an interview she would release her medical records but nothing yet. no matter as it might be too little, too late as she loses more and more support and by association mccain.

Posted by: Barb | October 23, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm
Its in the same place as BO’s birthday certificate. If that isn’t enough her records are in the same place as Joe Bidens, MRI records of his brain tumor.
What the heck does it matter? Liberals are liberals first, facts don’t matter to them.
Posted by: heavenislikethis | October 23, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm
When will Obama release his records? Is he still taking drugs? What about brain scan? Is there anything there but bluster? What about his birth certificate, which I understand has taken on intense interests as of late.
Posted by: Gina | October 23, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm
I love how they are picking on every little thing on Palin, they aren’t going to find anything in her medical records and who cares about her wardrobe. No one ever asks how much a male politicians wardrobe costs, it’s pathetic that people care more about the superficial things than the real issues.
Posted by: Anonymous | October 23, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm
Palin’s head needs to be examined, that’s definitive and I believe there’s a virtual consensus on that as well. She’s been having so many kids, a lot of involves the fact that she doesn’t believe in birth control and sex education. She doesn’t believe in evolution, she believes in creationism. She doesn’t believe in global warming and believes it’s attributable to the “earth’s natural cycles.” Can you say uneducated? That’s Sarah Palin.
Posted by: Jennifer | October 23, 2008, 2:02 pm 2:02 pm
I guess she didn’t realize that her pregnancies (and delivery dates for all of her kids) would be on her medical records before she volunteered to release them. WHOOPS!
Posted by: FactCheck | October 23, 2008, 2:02 pm 2:02 pm
The VP’s non released health records are the top story for ABC and the VP nomination hasn’t even released his, just a one paragraph note from his dr saying he is healthy. I’m so happy that the VP’s health is your top concern, but maybe you should worry a little more about the dem pres candidates health!!
Posted by: samhiguchi | October 23, 2008, 2:02 pm 2:02 pm
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if there are some mental issues in her records the campaign is worried about. The last thing they want anyone to think is that she is a little unstable, although from her speeches that seems obvious already.
Posted by: rand1a8 | October 23, 2008, 2:02 pm 2:02 pm
If Obama won’t release even his birth certificate, why should she release her medical information. Why does no one ask that question? You want to know about palins’s pregnancy, howabout where Obama was really born?

Posted by: kim | October 23, 2008, 2:04 pm 2:04 pm
Pretty interesting way to build anticipation for the report; especially when it is clear they don’t want to release the report. I find it
fascinating that when she is asked if the reports of her health records being release are true, she goes through this convoluted crap-trap then says “You will see that in the medical records if they’re released.” The key word here if ‘IF”:

People who are determined to keep us divided start these rumors about Barack’s birth certificate to manipulate us into thinking he is not an American citizen.
The fact is Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.

I don’t want to sound horrible, but with all of the hypocrisy I can’t help but wonder, is it possible those records would reveal she had an abortion at some point? Again, not to sound awful, but I can’t think of any other reason she wouldn’t just release them.

Jim Rod: “WHERE IS OBAMAS BIRTH CERT?”
Where’s yours? Obama has made a certified copy available for many to inspect, Hawaii confirms it, his birth announcement can be looked up on microfiche from in the Honolulu Advertiser Sunday, Aug. 13 edition. This is the only birth certificate that the Hawaii Department of Health makes available. If John McCain is down to just irrational, tinfoil-hat conspiracists such as you in his camp, he is very bad shape indeed.

Everyone better be very, very careful about even considering voting for obama. He is part of the master plan by the democrats to turn the US into a Socialist European style government. As soon as this fool can, he will try and disarm the US so the people have no power over the politicians. That is the only thing stopping them now. Do you really think they “care” who votes for them ? Illegals, felons, etc. The democrats just want the votes so they can take over.
So wonder how many democrats switched party affiliation so they could vote out the better republican candidates ?

“You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.
“Instead,” Obama added rather grandiosely, “I’m going to try to tell….
the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”

He only has submitted a letter from his doctor that says he is “Good Health.” This is just like everything else with that man: Just Trust Me (I do not need to follow the rules like everyone else).

why doesn’t Obama just grab the hand of everyone who no sense of logical reasoning…escort them to Hawaii with him….go to the Secretary of State’s Office…let the secretary of state deliver the birth certificate into everyone’s hands…let them touch and feel it and pass it around (as has been done at his Chicago offices already)…and then each and everytime another person questions it…fly THEM to Hawaii to do the same thing?

Don’t bother. These are the same trolls that have been spewing their special brand of lies for a long time now.
But, you could ask them about the lawsuit that was filed against McCain concerning his eligibility to run for office. Seems there’s a minor Constitutional issue there that actually has a basis. Never was resolved in the courts when it arose for Goldwater and Romney (Mitt’s father).
Bear in mind, as I’ve said before, I only bring it up to showcase the hypocrisy of the McCain liars here and I am confident that the court would support his right to serve.

DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.

You people don’t have a leg to stand on anymore. First Obama is a communist, then he’s a socialist. Fiscal responsibility has left you and your Greedy Old Pig party. Now it’s just a bunch of racist rednecks and even the Repugnicunts have to walk the fine line of embracing their vote and acting surprised they have courted these types.

Interesting that the media is covering a “Palin effect”, as if they are looking at it in a vacuum. It is totally media generated, and the idiocy of the media is on display this campaign season for anyone with an iq over 50, which will leave out most of the Dims and is the target audience.
I marvel at the vapidity of ABC and the so-called mainstream media (DNC and OBAMA propaganda arm) obliterating the last shred of their credibility. Move over National Enquirer, here comes the mainstream media to take over for you.

This is all a matter of due course. And for all the crazies who watch FOX and think newspapers are tainted by educated liberals, get your facts straight. Obama already released his medical records and birth certificate … there is nothing to question. And without a valid U.S. birth certificate, he legally could not run for President.
And to Jim Rod, it’s clear that you’ve never had brain surgery or an aneurysm or a tumor. Chances are, you know or have met someone who has. And you would never know. Your uninformed pondering about releasing brain scans is ridiculous , just as ridiculous as someone asking Palin to release scans of her uterus.

I got idea. Since tax plan arguing, Obama’s tax plan can be this way, Top CEO’s salary $200k and lower end of salary $50,000. So Everyone pay the same tax and you don’t have to raise tax on high end and give to low end. just event out the salary on both end.
because in American, always pay more tax and get more back, pay less and get less back. If you add one more column on the comparison for both tax plan, how much each salary level pay out tax, you would see high salary pay way more tax than low end so they got more back. The one hidden truth not revealed in the tax plan.

For those who keep questioning if Obama is a US citizen, why wouldn’t he be a US citizen? Is it because he’s African-American man and not the almighty white. He was born in Hawaii. Why not ask if McCain is a citizen? Oh, I forgot he’s white, but he was born in Panama. Get over the color of his skin. If African-Americans (which are actually various shades of browns)were so bad, why are so many whites getting tanned to the African-American complexion.

What was even more interesting was your definition of who was an “elitist” She said “oh someone that thinks they are better then others” When asked if that was by education, income, geography etc. She said “of course not” just someone that thinks they are better than someone else. For the nth time with good old Sarah, we are getting into a circular discussion, but the other day, wasn’t she trying to suggest that entire sections of the country are not as good as some because they did not support her ticket. I guess I don’t understand. Was she saying they thought they were better than her– or that she thought that she was better than them. It sounded like the later. But anyway. She clearly doesn’t have a clue–but I would suggest that the next time she gets “with child,” she drive her snow machine to the local bar and ask one of her non-elitist friends to deliver the child. It’s this or else she might have to deal with a medical professional that might conceivably think they are better or know more than her. Because, I got news for her, at least 100 million Americans have a better grasp of the world then she. Are they better? —ot at all–just smarter an/or more curious. So– the dirty little secret is that that at least for HER, the “elitist” label does have a lot to do with smarts. Sorry Sarah– WRONG AGAIN.

To date a lot of questions remain unresolved or inconsistent with what is trying to be portrayed – expense account abuses, unethical interventions in due process, the excessive clothes expenditures, and now medical records.
This is not a typical “hockey Mom” stuff.
Given Palin’s holier than thou attitude and bad attitude towards anyone who does not think like her, this is intellectual dishonesty, of the worse type. While all the truth may come out on Nov 5, it may be too late.
Caveat Emptor America!

Your link is to the certificate of live birth. That is not the same as a certification of birth. A certificate of live birth is issued when you lose or do not have the certification of birth. You have been deceived by not knowing the legal meaning of the two documents. A Montgomery County Pennsylvania attorney has filed a suit for him to produce the certification of birth.

jhw539: Facts substantiate the fact the Republicans are some of the most educated people in the country, so you comment is stupid in itself. Facts also illustrate that most immigrants from all over the world who have not taken the time to learn about the United States government and how it operates are indeed, Democrats. All Democratic leaders know this, and thus they pander to the immigrants to get their votes, including promising a hand-out to every blood-sucker in our fine country. But I am sure you are in favor of handing out drivers’ licenses to those who cannot even understand enough English to pass the test – legal immigrants and illegals as well.

McCain has released his. Well sort of. He let them look at them for about 3 hours. Pages were unnumbered, so it is possible pages were removed. Senators Obama and Biden have also released their medical records. Obama provided his birth certificate quite a while ago and so all we have left to wonder about is Palin.
Fox News watchers are the only ones left still wondering about Obama’s birth certificate.

He may have produced them to the DNC which you speak for but they are not posted as public record for us to view. Please prove me wrong. But please if you feel so impowered to speak as a god for Obama from his chicago campain head quarters please do. You see’ you are why most of us will not vote for the terrorist backer and who uses a campian manger who got 100mil from Fannie and Freddie just before they faield. Your great thoughts are no better than the rest of ours. so if you feel that you need to Jim Rod me again do so. But dwell on this! Obama if trying to being an FBI agent would be rejected because of his ties with Aeyers, Obama if wanting to be a secret agent to protect the president would not be hired because of his ties with Aeyers.

Poor Sarah. She created another distraction in the last ten days of the election. Everyone will be asking where her health care records are, or if they are released, what is in them, when we all need to be talking about the economy. I’m not interested in distractions, nasty robocalls, slogan talk about Joe the Plumber, or even name calling like “socialist.” I’d like to hear McCain-Palin talk about one thing–What they will do to help the hundreds of thousands who will be laid off in the next six months, the millions who have already been laid off, the millions without health care insurance, the millions who have lost homes, the retirees whose retirement is now down the drain. Talk about the economy. Talk about what you will do to help hurting people.

Yes, Obama is of mixed race and Palin is a mother of 5. I’m sure they both have certain issues with their medical records just like all of us do… What’s the problem? Neither one of them would’ve gone this far without some scrutiny. Now that both of them are running for the highest and second highest office in the land don’t you think all of this will come out? Let’s be real, and may the best person win.

When I watched the biography on Palin that aired on CNN a little over a month ago it mentioned that she eloped with her husband so their families didn’t have to deal with the expense of a wedding. Then it said that around 8 months later her son Track was born….Although it doesn’t matter, other than she tries to come across as such a miss goody goody, I would be interested to know if she was already pregnant when she eloped…..just curious! And, by the way, I am NOT an Obama supporter….and I don’t like McCains attitude or personality, but voted for him, absolutely NOT because of Palin (I can’t stand her!) but because I had to look at each of their standards/values, what they stand for, and vote what I felt was best for me and my family….among other things! It was a very difficult and painful decision…but I felt I had to vote for one of them…..I wish we had another choice!

This election has become so childish and petty it’s almost lost its purpose. Candidates showing up on late night talk shows and even comedy shows. Where are the real issues? The only time i’ve seen a real issue in the news lately is the one about the economy crisis. We all need to get over our petty arguments about how someone might be incapable to run a country because of where they’re from or even worse, they’re skin color. Come on America, grow up, learn that not every president has to be an old white man. Change is good. America changed so women could vote and i don’t hear anybody arguing about that change. I believe that when i’m older, and when America’s older we will all look back on this election with shame and disgust. “man, i wish we would have cared about real issues”

What’s up with everyone getting upset about this. The Obama folks don’t seem to be too concerned that their guy won’t tell you or release anything about him. How can you elect someone President of your county and know nothing, absolutely nothing about him other than the fact he was community organizer and a lousy state senator.

Hey I got a great idea. Let’s get Obama to release his Birth Certificate at the same time!
Posted by: LB Tartaglia | October 23, 2008, 2:35 pm 2:35 pm
I suspect Palin’s concern is less about what will be revealed about her last pregnancy, than what will be revealed about her first one. She and Todd got married in a courthouse with a bystander outside as their witness (no family), and she gave birth to Trac 8 (spell it, e-i-g-h-t) months later. I don’t think she wants it revealed that she and her 17-yr old daughter have more in common than anyone thought.

“lucky for McCain he was born on a Navy base or he wouldn’t have been a natural born citizen.”
Technically, speaking there is a little catch there because he was born in Panama. The fruitcake who tried to challenge McCain stated other legal issues in his case involving a law passed after McCain’s birth. The courts have never officially resolved the issue on what denotes native or natural born citizen and whether that includes children of citizens born outside the US.
Goldwater (born in AZ before statehood) and Romney (Mitt’s father, born in Mexico to American citizens living there) had the same issues and, because they did not win, the issue was never addressed.
It should NOT an issue, otherwise it would affect every child of every service man/woman born overseas. Doesn’t sound like what the Founding Fathers had in mind to me. They just didn’t want naturalized citizens with a possible hidden agenda running for POTUS.

B Coffey: Your are 100% correct! Those in Hollywood and the rest of entertainment industry and Media really need to watch what they say regarding Gov. Palin. Yes this is America and they are free to state their opinion, but the hateful and personal statements are absurd. They need to realize when they speak negatively about Gov. Palin’s intelligence, qualifications, and background; they are directly attacking US (the common citizens of this country). What they are saying is that if we did not go to an Ivy League school or come from society, none of us have the intelligence to run for the highest office in this nation. They need to remember that there are only two requirements to run for President, Age and Citizenship, both set forth in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, and nothing else. The rest, is for each voter to decide based on their own unbiased, unfettered opinion.

They are hesitant to release the medical records because they show that she had an abortion in 1987. Apparently she was gang raped, became pregnant, and chose against having the child. Some 20 years later… she becomes the VP nominee…. and now she has fallen into the party lines.

Will you people PUH-LEEZE give up your sniveling over Barack Obama’s birth certificate. You’re only making yourselves look simple minded by beating this dead horse. Do you really, honestly and truly believe there is some great conspiracy among all the employees of the state health department in Hawaii to claim that he was born there — a conspiracy that would have to go back to the date of his birth? My God, they call us liberals whackos but you people really take the cake.

JT: “1) All Presidential and VP candidates are to provide their medical records so that their fitness can be examined and determined. A simple grade school doctors note is not sufficient;”
That is by no means a rule, but rather a fairly recent campaign tactic. McCain has not released his, nor has Biden – both just allowed a brief perusal by reporters. You’re making up “rules.”
“2) Wants the media to lay off discussing his wife (the possible first lady) but will not deplore the deplorable discussions made about another candidates wife (the other possible first lady).”
Really? A citation please. And comparing a NYTimes piece that recites strictly factual, accurate information to lies about Michelle Obama having a racist videotape out there or having written an unpatriotic thesis (did those liars feel at all embarrassed when it was released and found to be nothing like their little slander campagn said?) is hardly accurate. What are the deplorable discussions about Mrs. McCain that Obama needs to deplore?
“3) Agreed to take public financing with McCain and then decided not to at the last minute. I guess we just need to remember that what is good for others is not good for Obama.”
Just like McCain promised to not have a negative campaign and then spent 100% of his money going negative as soon as he went down in the polls. What a rule follower.

I don’t care if she said it ten minutes ago. If she said she’d do something but isn’t actually intending to do it, that’s news, and it’s another indication of her character (or lack thereof).
Calling Obama a liar isn’t going to distract most of America from the fact that McCain and his “respectful campaign” have been doing nothing but lying for months now.
Obama is running a presidential campaign and McCain is running his campaign as if he is aspiring to rule the student body of a local high school.

Seriously folks, she seems to be something of a dictator for not being open and democratic.

Let’s get this straight from the beginning–when I go into that voting booth and look at the ballot, I hope there’s a place to check “Here.” In other words, I’m not too overjoyed about either candidate. Gertrude Stein didn’t get it wrong about a rose. However, I think some folks have overlooked a bit of info: Palin agreed to releasing her medical records, the Republican party is the one now fudging. As for all of the stories re Obama’s birth certificate, citizenship, and anything else floating around the internet and elsewhere, it would be a good idea to check one’s “facts” before presenting them in public. There’s an excellent fact-checking site called snopes.com that is the first place I turn to when I hear another “fact” about any of the candidates–for that matter, about anything at which I’m aghast or overjoyed, just to make sure I have the real facts straight before I open my mouth and stick my foot in it. For once, I’d like to see a campaign–ANY campaign–state the facts, the problems, and their solutions and stop dissing the other side. I want to know what a candidate will do if elected and what a candidate stands for, not what a candidate can drag up about the opposition’s life or merely put down the opponent for his/her proposed solutions. Dare I suggest that people go to snopes.com or any reputable site instead of TMZ.com to check their facts? Use your google or yahoo or dogpile search sites as a starting point. Electing the next President of the United States is not making a phone call to choose your favorite on “Dancing With the Stars,” “American Idol” or “America’s Next Top Model,” and while at times it may seem more like “Funniest Home Videos,” it is one of the most important responsibilities of a free society. Please, people, take your feet out of your collective mouths and do some serious research and logical pondering before taking on that responsibility (a responsibility which many people in our world would–and do–willingly die for).

Where the heck are Obama’s medical records, hah?
The only thing that he has released is an one page “Doctor’s Note” like the ones kids bring to school when they are out sick. It basically says that he is in good health!
Why is the freaking media so interested in Palin’s medical records and in Obama’s WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! The media witches – Catie Curic and Campbell Brown(ose) and their male colleagues – those male sexist pigs at CNN and MSNBC are just looking for reasons to change the subject of the news from “Joe The Plumber” to Palin’s $150,000 louzy dollars wardrobe (I am sure Obama’s designer suits, ties, shoes, and Swiss watches have costed a heck of a lot more) and to her medical records.
Suddenly, the economy is not such a big issue – Palin’s medical records are – and in their twisted brains Palin’s medical records are more importamt thna Obama’s!
Why is Obama not releasing his? Is he hiding some mental illness perhaps? Hah?
Has he had frequent visits to “therapists” and for what reason? Can we see ALL his drug abuse related records? Once an addict, someone is considered an addict all their life even if they are “clean” for years. Th possibility od relapse is always there. Why he is NOT telling us the facts?
Is this is why he has drives of people voting for him early so they will not be able tochange their mind once some more facts come to light?
SHAME ON THE BIASED PARTISAN MEDIA MORONS ESPECIALLY JOHN CLOWN – AS IN JOHN KLEIN – PRESIDENT OF CNN – AS HE HAS RUINED CNN. TO THE OTHER CLOWN – THE PRESIDENT OF NBC/MSNBC NBC – JEFF ZUCKER – I SAY THAT HE IS MORE PATHETIC THAN THE HIS IDIOTS KEITH OLBERMANN AND CHRIS MATHEWS.

Just like McCain promised to not have a negative campaign and then spent 100% of his money going negative as soon as he went down in the polls. What a rule follower.

Angie,
Put your money where your big mouth is! The fact is that multiple lawsuits have been filed since Obama’s campaign released that phony “birth certificate” copy. He now has failed to comply with Pennsylvania District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick’s order to produce legitimate documentation of his birthplace and other questions about his eligibility to be POTUS. (Read http://www.obamacrimes.com carefully to see what this case is all about. This is serious stuff!)
I’m a Democrat, and I am quite worried that Obama will lose this suit and be unable to serve. We Democrats will have a hell of a mess on our hands then.
One way or the other, Obama must provide convincing evidence now to avoid a constitutional crisis after November 4.

I don’t understand how we are ever going to become one united people when all of you are so blantantly intolerant and hateful of all of the candidates as well as one another. All of you make me ashamed of the American culture that you can speak to each other in the ways that you do because you don’t agree on your candidates or your politics. I definitely have my opinion on who I think should be President, but that does not mean that my choice is necessarily the correct choice. One never knows who the perfect President will be. In fact I can’t think of any perfect President in our history. We should treat both of the men running for this office with the greatest respect and admiration and stop bashing them. These are two brave men who want to take over this job especially with all they will inherit. We have become an angry, rude and intolerant society and I, for one, am fed up. If we ever really want to accomplish anything in government or this world we all need to truly work together as Dems, Reps and Independents and regain a little dignity in the way we speak to and about others.

Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation’s $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the ELIMINATION of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive.
House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-California, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, are looking at redirecting those tax breaks to a new system of guaranteed retirement accounts to which all workers would be obliged to contribute.
Hmm …. “a system of guaranteed retirement accounts to which all workers would be obliged to contribute.” That sounds very, very familiar, doesn’t it? Don’t we already do this with Social Security?
That means your employer can no longer write off their contributions to your 401(k), and your capital gains would be TAXABLE year-on-year. In other words, it becomes just another investment or savings account, with no tax benefit at all, and no employer contribution. Instead, Uncle Sam would give you your “matching” funds — up to a whopping $600 per year! Whoopee!
Maybe you’ll be lucky, and they’ll have Franklin Raines running the agency issuing those bonds.
The Democrats want to end the private retirement system that has allowed Americans to become a vast investor class and put them back in thrall of the federal government. This is nothing more than a second welfare system that would sit on top of the crumbling Social Security entitlement. It would leave the American working and middle classes with no retirement option other than a government handout.
If the Democrats control both Congress and the White House, kiss your 401(k)s goodbye.

Why would they bother? All McCain has to run on are rumors. The longer people waste time thinking about inconsequential gossip (who CARES if Trig is Bristol’s?) the less time they are looking at McCain’s record and management ability.

From POLITICO (today)
• Obama’s legal clients
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has boasted of his time working as a civil rights lawyer in Chicago. But the boutique law firm that employed him for parts of 11 years — now known as Miner, Barnhill & Galland — also handled matters that don’t fit under the civil rights umbrella, including contracts, real estate deals, incorporations and civil defense.
Obama, by some accounts, spent as much as 30 percent of his 3,700 billable hours on the last category.
Neither his campaign nor the firm will release a list of the cases on which he worked.

Obama was born in Hawaii – his birth certificate was released back in June (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/06/obama-birth.html). John McCain is the one who was born outside the United States, he was born at a US Naval Air Station in Panama. But even he is still eligible to be president.
It never ceases to amaze me, that people have nothing better to worry about than these conspiracy theories. Worry about things that matter…

Your information on two citizen parents is not correct.
The issue which is unresolved in the courts is whether “natural born” or “native born” means only on US soil. There are some that believe that the intent of the Founding Fathers was that the child MUST be born on US soil. In which case, any child born overseas or in areas that are not US territory would be excluded from eligibility.
Other opinions are that any child born of a US citizen(s) either in foreign countries or in US territories should be considered “natural born” or “native born.”
According the US law, you only need one parent who is a US citizen to be considered a citizen from birth. That does not take into consideration the issue of POTUS eligibility, only State Department considerations.

Now you all want his college transcipts. Is it that hard and inconceivable that an African-American man can be highly intelligent and articulate? He intimidates “white america” that much. He was top of his class at Harvard. Mind you a prodominately white college and elite, so why haven’t anyone there disputed his credentials? Because he did get his degree there with honors. Everyone is entitled to there opinion, but if you want to vote for a man who graduated at the bottom of class (to be exact 894 out of 899 students) then you are just as erractic and crazy as him.

It appears that the McCain campaign takes the position that the records are theirs rather than the governor’s. She said she had nothing to hide, so why are they concerned.

I do not care to see Sarah Palin’s health records. They should have absolutely nothing to do with her incapability to be V.P. Brain scans aren’t done on a routine basis so we’ll never know if her cranium is empty as many of us suspect. She has had five beautiful children and all seem to be in great health. Trig was born with Down’s syndrome due to Sarah’s age when she conceived him. But again, her health records are irrelevant to her obvious incapability to be V.P.

Why do so many Republicans give up on being real Americans? The seem to delight in making up the stupidest, most transparent lies, then insult the American flag by pretending they believe in honest elections. Such lying is not so much two-faced as it is symptomatic of what psychologists refer to as a personality disorder. From bigotry to fear-mongering, the Republican Party has become the home of the psychologically disturbed.

What disgusting vile pigs from the left wing in this trail of responses. Typical ABC to run every negative story they can about Palin, but nothing about the scum running on the other side. The best was from the idiot who purported to give the link to Obama’s alleged birth certificate. Any idiot can see that is a fake given the fact the form date bears a 11/01 date and uses the word laser, which no one had in 1961. Ignorant ignorant people on the left, that is for sure. With an extreme far left congress and and extreme far left President, the end of this country will be near. Not one of the pigs who responded to this story from the left know anything about sacrifice or why they have the freedom to even write such dribble.

Sentori – we don’t hate Palin; we’re just shocked that Republicans continue to support her. She is frankly an embarrassment for the party, for women and for America in general : She can’t string a sentence together on her own, she broke the ethics law and abused power, she thinks the VP runs the senate and happily accepts $150000 (!!!) in clothes while people are losing their jobs and retirement plans. Yet Republicans continue to defend her. I don’t get it. you truly must be in denial, or brainwashed or both.

JT: ”
- McCain released his records months ago. It was especially important for him due to his problems with Skin Cancer and he wanted clarification. If Biden has not, shame on him.”
McCain allowed reporters into a room with his records for a three hours. Is that all Obama has to do to satisfy your “rule”?
“- Last weekends New York Times article should say enough. There was no reason to discuss her past miscarrages and health issues, and try to undermine her charitable work overseas.”
OK, so discussing fact and reality about McCain’s wife is exactly as unacceptable as malicious and false slander against Obama’s wife. I guess the Republican’s aren’t even trying to hide that they refuse to accept reality and just want to live in a fantasy land.
“- Actually if you go back and look at the start of the negative comments, they started as a direct defensive action to comments made by Obama and the DNC. Before that the campaign was very civil (at least for a campaign).”
Citation please. Based on the recent history of repeated lying from the Republican campaign (such as Palin never supporting the Bridge to Nowhere or Joe the Plumber getting hit with a tax raise under Obama’s plan) I assume you’re lying until proven otherwise. Sad, but as my father taught me at a young age once you lose credibility your word’s worth nothing and it takes a long time to earn it back.

I’m tired of everyone touting that fake Obama birth certificate.
Certificates in the 60s were printed, and the personal information was then handwritten, or typed in. If you look at the fake that’s going around, you will see that the “printed” words and the “typed” words are both in exactly the same (computer) font. The ONLY difference is that the font size was set slightly higher for one than the other. Also, a certificate, to be official, needs a seal and a signature. This fake has neither.
Give me ten minutes and I’ll make a much better one that says I’m Obama’s twin brother, born 3 minutes earlier.

To those who keep persisting with the Obama birth certificate thing; this is from FactCheck.org: “FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.” Read the rest here and shut up already: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html

Oh please people.
Obama is a citizen, he’s released his birth cert.
Palin’s son is probably Palin’s son. You chance of having a baby with Downs increases as you get older…but even if he’s not, who cares?
(I certainly have relatives whose “children” were actually their “grandchildren”.) What I care more about is her politics, which, well, stink.
Personally, my son wasn’t born until 12 hours after my water broke. That wasn’t the 5th child, however. After 4 kids, she probably had a good idea of how long she had to get home.

I wasn’t questioning McCain’s citizenship, btw.
Technically, it is an issue, that should be resolved IN HIS FAVOR and for EVERY child born to men and women overseas who hold US citizenship.
I truly believe the Founding Fathers did not consider children born to citizens working or serving overseas as ineligible. I think they just didn’t want citizens with mixed national loyalties serving or those with hidden agendas.

This should very troubling to Americans the way the media is CONSTANTLY attacking this woman on EVERYTHING under the sun. Don’t you see what ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC are doing? They are distracting away from the issues in order to smear this woman instead. Why? Because Palin is a woman who actually appeals tremendously to millions of Americans if they are given a chance to like her.
This is the same media that constantly drives home the sell that McCain is so negative in his campaigning. Yet, here they are CONSTANTLY NEGATIVELY SMEARING PALIN.
When Biden makes a huge gaffe, the media ignores it and covers it by smearing Palin instead on something trivial. If you talk about Ayres, Wright or Rezko, the media says “that is not relevant; it is a distraction. Talk about the economy.” Yet, they are the ones distracting with bs.
Look at how Hillary was treated and look how Palin is treated. Sexism is alive and flourishing in America. There is an ENORMOUS double standard by the snobs in the media who think they should pick the winner of the elections. They are subverting the process.

how can you really think Trig is not Palins child but her daughters? Do you know that Down Syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation making too many chromosomes in either the egg or the sperm? This is a mutation that is far more common in older parents than young. Also, she has been so open about her daughter’s current pregnancy that you think she would be the same about past ones.

Here’s a thought, why don’t all you genius’s that are asking about Obama’s birth certificate go to google, type in obama birth certificate and follow the first 3 links. The first two have a copy online as was released back in June. The 3rd link is the urban legend website which also proves false the claim that there is no birth certificate. As for is “he still taking drugs..” Well, I’ll ask is George Bush still taking drugs?? It certainly would answer some questions as to the things he’s done while in office and remember the rumors were that Bush was arrested for cocaine possession but he and daddy had the records expunged before George Sr ran for president. I do believe that Sarah Palin has something to hide. Most likely she wants to hide (or have time to alter) some records showing abortions, only four children being born, some diagnosis for pathological lying or possibly insanity. It’s also quite possible as some have suggested that there are no recordable brain waves noted…

What’s interesting is that whenever an article or controversy comes up regarding Sara Palin or John McCain the only responses from the Republican Pundits, McCain bloggers or even McCain and Palin is to attack Obama or Biden. They never and I mean NEVER respond to the actual question or controversy. The difference is Obama has responded to EVERY allegation from Reverend Wright to William Aires with directness and clarity. You may not agree with his responses or like his responses however Obama always responds. Obama does not put guidelines for the press out that he will only take softball questions. I would put down a large bet that before any of the recent interviews that Palin has had with the press she is provided all of the questions beforehand or the interview is denied by the campaign.

OK, so discussing fact and reality about McCain’s wife is exactly as unacceptable as malicious and false slander against Obama’s wife. I guess the Republican’s aren’t even trying to hide that they refuse to accept reality and just want to live in a fantasy land.
- Any slander about Obama’s wife has repudiated by the McCain campaign. The Times though love to slander and do not get as much as a frown from the Obama camp. As far as fantasy land… that will be the US if Obama is elected… fantasing about having a job, fantasing about getting a college degree, fantasing about the end of the Obama 4 years!
“- Actually if you go back and look at the start of the negative comments, they started as a direct defensive action to comments made by Obama and the DNC. Before that the campaign was very civil (at least for a campaign).”
Citation please. Based on the recent history of repeated lying from the Republican campaign (such as Palin never supporting the Bridge to Nowhere or Joe the Plumber getting hit with a tax raise under Obama’s plan) I assume you’re lying until proven otherwise. Sad, but as my father taught me at a young age once you lose credibility your word’s worth nothing and it takes a long time to earn it back.
- A democrat would know a thing or two about lying! the 1st attack Ad was regarding Energy and was put on the air at the beginning of July. If you want to watch the AD, go to the Cleveland Plain Dealer and look it up as they documented and analyzed at. As for the lying comment… All the lies started at the beginning of Obama campaign and will finally stop when he loses in 2 weeks.

Ok idiot Obama birth certificate people. Again, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, the FBI and CIA can’t find anything to prove that Obama is anything less than a US Citizen born in Hawaii, but you and your nutty friends have found PROOF! On the INTERNET. Stop being nice to these folks by calling them “low information voters” They are MORONS. The sooner they face that, the sooner they can get help.
Posted by: Missy | October 23, 2008, 3:12 pm 3:12 pm
This is ridiculous. Every other comment is some outraged person demanding Obama’s birth certificate, and then every other one is someone pointing directly to where to find it. He’s a citizen – the Democrats would not have let him get this far if he weren’t, or risk having him win and McCain get installed in his place.
The only issue with Palin’s medical records is that she said she’d release them and hasn’t – yet. Big deal – short of mental health issues, she seems like the healthiest person of the 4. So Palin will live through the next four years. Great for her kids! Give them a chance to release them – if we should have learned anything over the years it’s that everything in politics takes much, much longer than it should.
Posted by: Jen | October 23, 2008, 3:13 pm 3:13 pm
how can you really think Trig is not Palins child but her daughters? Do you know that Down Syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation making too many chromosomes in either the egg or the sperm? This is a mutation that is far more common in older parents than young. Also, she has been so open about her daughter’s current pregnancy that you think she would be the same about past ones.
Posted by: anna | Oct 23, 2008 3:07:24 PM
Not True… I have a wonder loving 34 year brother with Down Syndrome and my Mom was only in her 20′s… he is the best thing ever! So there’s a great chance that “Bristol” did give birth to Trig…

For all you “pathetic sheep following the heard” let us not forget that you can’t believe everything you read. Shasha advises to check “factcheck” and politico for Obama Husseins birth certificate. No one knows if the birth certificate purported to be “an original” is real. There have been many say it is, and many arguements that it isnt. Until they produce a paper copy of his birth certificate for review (which in his book he claims he has) no one will really know if it is or not. My question is…why in heavens name are we just believing everything they feed us??!?!? Why cant Obama Hussein’s camp furnish a paper copy? Without a paper copy of this document we are at their mercy to believe that this “scanned copy” is an original. It is NOT that big of a deal to obtain an original if he cannot locate one. The catch is…only HE or a FAMILY member can request one because Hawaii’s privacy laws. HE REFUSES TO DO SO. What does he have to hide??!? “The enemy will destroy us from within…” Obama Hussein…a wolf in sheeps clothing?!? Something about him is just not right. Too many associations with thugs and terrorist. If he applied to the FBI he would be rejected due to his relationship with Ayers (a known terrorist). If he were to apply to become his OWN body guard if elected (God help us all) he would be rejected because of his relationship with a known felon (Rezko). Come on people! We are a nation of INTELLIGENT indivuduals. Let us not go into this election with blinders on…

Gezzz folks, give up on all this picky, stupid, politico-babble crap. This isn’t even news. The country is drowning. We need to focus on issues. Since the election is essentially over (McCain has not enough time and no argument effective enough to close the gap), the news orginzations have no choice but run this stupid stuff — and you’re all buying into it! What’s next? Obama didn’t release his love letters to Michelle? Palin didn’t release her hunting license application? McCain didn’t release his 3rd grade transcripts from 1885?

I obtained it from the county court records myself so this is standard practice. Obama’s cert has been verified countless times by Hawaian officials. You people sound like nutjobs when youre hanging on things like this. And by the way, this country is for everyone and not just for people who agree with you. Maybe you should get out instead.

Well i think everyone should know that yes, Palin did have an abortion. When she was about 18 years old, she was attacked by ninjas and raped. Afterwards, she found the ninjas, and fought them all to the death. After killing the ninjas she finally had to get the abortion because the ninjas had EVIL DNA which would cause her baby to be half evil ninja. SARAH PALIN SAVED THE WORLD BY HAVING THAT ABORTION.

She flew from Texas to have the baby in Alaska because Alaska is her home and because it would make him eligible for the Alaska Permanent Fund distribution. If he was born in Texas, he wouldn’t be eligible for 2 years.

Palin: “The medical records. So be it. If that will allow some curiosity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over. Fine. I’m healthy, I’m happy, had five kids. That is going to be in the medical records. Never been seriously ill or hurt. You will see that in the medical records if they’re released.”
Is it asking too much that our vice presidential candidates be able to formulate a coherent sentence?

Jen, once again I must say that the point is the difference between being a “natural born” citizen and a “naturalized” citizen. There is a difference and must be proven in a court of law to satisfy litigation by Phiip Berg, a supporter of Hillary Clinton. Just because obama says he is a citizen and posts his recently acquired copy of his birth certificate, does not satisfy the lawsuit in question. He must prove it by showing the “vault” copy of his birth certificate from Hawai’i and in court.
Unless of course, we no longer wish to follow our CONSTITUTION.

FactCheck.org, part of the Annenberg Foundation? Are you implying bias because Obama worked for the Annenberg Challenge?
Is that why Leonore Annenberg, wife of Walter Annenberg former ambassador under Reagan, who is currently the Chairman of the Annenberg Foundation of which FactCheck is a part, has endorsed MCCAIN???
Don’t believe me?

Where are McCain’s medical records, specifically his debriefing records after being a POW? How do we know he wasn’t brainwashed by the Russians or Chinese who are now just waiting to trigger some signal to his subconscious and hatch some diabolical plot? I don’t know but Palin grew up a little to close to Russia for me maybe she’s part of the plot. I can’t see any other reason she was chosen as McCain’s running mate.

As suggested I went to the website and looked at Obama’s birth certificate. I realize the blank form that was filled out said Official Cerificate of Live Birth – what I didn’t see was any shadow or other indication that this was a notarized copy of a live birth certificate. To put this another way – this copy isn’t good enough for a passport to be issued. The State Department requires a raised seal imprint on any birth certificate use to obtain a legal passport by US citizens.

Let us value more the importance of what Sarah Palin intends to transmit in this campaign than the issue of the clothes. Think that Mrs. Obama as well as Mrs. Palin, are obliged to choose their clothes as recommended to them by their Advisors.
It is not like shopping for your own good where you can choose the clothes you want.
Focus more for example on the article recently published “Gutfeld: Obama Is as Untouchable as a Really Hot Chick” by Fox News. I love his sense of humour, but unfortunately when the AMERICAN PEOPLE WAKE UP AFTER THE ELECTIONS DAY, and start realizing what kind of a PRESIDENT WE NOW HAVE WITH OBAMA, IS WHEN REALITY WILL PROVE THE ERROR THAT HAS BEEN MADE.
LOOK NOW IN SPAIN A SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT, WITH THE HIGHEST RATE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN ALL OF EUROPE AND WITH PROBLEMS ALREADY ARISING FOR THE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS (THAT INCLUDES LATINOS), THAT HAVE SEEN HOW THEIR TAXES HAVE BEEN SPREAD AROUND, AND LATINOS ARE NOW WITHOUT A JOB.
PRESENTLY IN SPAIN SOME WORKING MIDDLE CLASS HAS ALREADY SEEN THEMSELVES IN THE NEED TO USE CHARITY AID TO BE ABLE TO FEED THEMSELVES. THEY SEE HOW THEIR ECONOMICAL POSITION HAS DROPPED TO A PRECARIOUS SITUATION, DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE TAXES.
IF YOU READ THE NEWSPAPERS IN EUROPE POSSIBLY AMERICANS CAN ASK THEMSELVES, WHY THIS CANNOT ALSO HAPPEN IN AMERICA IF OBAMA WINS THIS ELECTION, AND START SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND. This are topics that Palin is raising in the campaign.
Be interested in reading an Article ON TAXES, published yesterday by the Financial Times (Clive Crook) reads: “….Suppose a family currently has a $12,000 policy provided by an employer. Under the McCain proposal, instead of attracting relief as at present, this benefit would be taxed as ordinary employment income – but the extra tax paid would be more than offset by the new $5,000 credit. In the first analysis, nothing changes so far as employers are concerned: all the action is on the employee’s pay cheque. The policy delivers a net tax cut to middle-income households and IS ENOUGH TO MAKE THE MCCAIN TAX PLAN ON AVERAGE A BETTER OVERALL DEAL FOR THEM than the Obama plan.”

you people put such trashy comments on here regarding her.

-Pretty certain they just don’t want records of her two abortions leaked until after she overturns Roe vs Wade.

Anna! She has to be open about her daughter’s pregnancy because it will soon be obvious and she is in the public eye all the time now! Before she was able to stay at home (she governed from home, 600 miles from the capital for most of her governorship) and she didn’t have paparazzi following her everywhere like she does now. I would have no problem with her telling the truth about Trig if he were her daughter’s child except for the fact that Mrs. Palin walks around acting holier than thou and spouting how people should have “values” when she has a daughter that is only 17 and pregnant by a high school drop out who still hasn’t married her! She name calls Mr. Obama constantly and riles up the nutjobs at her rallies against him, I think, in hopes of getting him killed. She calls herself a Christian and yet makes rape victims in her state pay for their own rape kits! She believes that a woman (or girl) who is raped or the victim of incest should be forced to carry that child to term. Is that compassionate? Is that someone you want to be your next VP and possibly president? She is not presidential material. SHe went to 5 different colleges (or was it 6?) to get a degree in journalism. I am not against her because she is a republican. If McCain had chosen an intelligent, educated, thoughtful woman to be his running mate (and I know there are many of them out there) I would have respect for that.But he chose her to garner votes from a certain demographic. He pandered to those people in order to get their vote. He didn’t choose her because she was the best choice for VP. It’s all about WINNING, not putting this country first, as he says.

You must be desperate. Do you know that someone cannot possibly be an elitist or socialist at the same time? I bet you didn’t but there is probably a whole boatload of stuff that you don’t know. All you know how to do is throw around the same recycled Karl Rove BS and me and the other independants on this post have to listen to your fire and brimstome, he’s the anti-christ BS.

I HAVE HEARD SO MUCH FROM EVERYONE ABOUT SARAH PALIN,YES SHE WILL PROBALLY RELEASE HER MEDICAL RECORDS. IT WON’T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS TRIED & CONVICTED HER OF ANYTHING POSSIBLE. WHEN DID WE BECOME GOD AND ABLE TO JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE. WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT OURSELVES & THE REASONS WE ARE VOTING FOR A PRESIDENT & VICE PRESIDENT.WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE ISSUES THAT GOES FOR BOTH PARTIES. JUST BECAUSE OBAMA IS BLACK IS NOT A REASON TO ELECT HIM TO AN OFFICE. WE HAVE LOST THE REASON FOR ELECTIONS THAT IS TO VOTE FOR THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON. IT SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE,RACE OR SEX.OUR FORE FATHERS WOULD BE TURNING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES LOOKING DOWN ON US RUNNING THIS COUNTRY & ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF JACKASSES. WE NEED TO GET OUR ACTS TOGETHER AND START GETTING BACK TO BASICS OF THIS COUNTRY. THE FIRST THING IS TO PUT GOD BACK INTO OUR LIVES SO THAT WE CAN BE THE PEOPLE HE HAD BEGIN THIS COUNTRY.

“for the fact that Mrs. Palin walks around acting holier than thou and spouting how people should have “values” when she has a daughter that is only 17 and pregnant by a high school drop out who still hasn’t married her!”
Just because a person is pro-life and talks about God from time to time does not mean that they think they are holier than thou. Maybe you just have a bad conscience, so you feel guilt by this woman because her attempt at living a pro-life, pro-family, pro-traditional values life is counter to the way you’ve been.
It’s usually the whores, the liars, the welfare leaches, etc who most hate someone who dares to try to be godly.
I guess for the sake of not offending anyone, she is supposed to compromise herself to YOUR standards. Apparantly women’s empowerment and feminism only applies for women who are pro-abortion, who hate their husbands, aren’t active in their children’s lives. Maybe because she is a happily married, pro-life, family woman, you’re offended.

Can someone clarify what they are looking for with respect to determining Obama’s citizenship? He was born in Honolulu, the birth certificate has been released and a birth announcement was published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1961. (See http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html) So unless his grandparents or parents had some diabolical plot for their baby to run for President decades later, I don’t see why these issues about his citizenship keep circulating. As someone who is currently undecided and was leaning towards McCain, I have to say that this type of unfounded attacks on Obama do not make me want to join your side. I may not agree with Obama’s tax proposal (his proposal to give tax relief to 95% of the population are a load of crap), but I don’t question his citizenship.

Read the court documents on http://www.obamacrimes.com, the Pennsylvania case is looking bad for Obama. It’s not as simple as you think to be eligible for POTUS. Keep an open mind; the matter is in the courts. Judges, not bloggers, should decide this issue.

Candidates meet ‘natural-born’ test despite rumors
Friday, October 10, 2008
By ANN SANNER, Associated Press Writer
In response to the allegations, Obama’s campaign in June posted the
In an argument popular on the Internet and taken seriously practically nowhere else, critics of the candidates argue that each does not qualify to run for the White House because he’s not a “natural-born citizen” as the Constitution requires.
Obama plainly is, because he was born in the U.S.
McCain qualifies, too, although the circumstances of his birth _ on a U.S. naval base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 _ were unusual enough to merit a review.
Illinois senator’s birth certificate on his campaign Web site, http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate.
The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document.

“God help us.”
I think it’s too late for that. Too many people get their viewpoints from the “news” organizations. They are influenced by the bias, which is exactly why the con artists in the media are constantly smearing Palin. They are afraid of the fact that when she’s given a chance, people actually really like her. She has a rare “it” factor that they’re afraid of.
The commentators should all be hauled off and locked in prison for their treason to the country in subverting the whole truth from being show to the voters.
Posted by: jasoninpa10 | October 23, 2008, 3:36 pm 3:36 pm
Since we’ve regressed to Junior High – Obama will show his Birth Certificate when McCain shows his Birth Certificates (lots of!!!). Give me a break children.
Get over yourselves, it is standard practice to release a candidate’s Medical Record. Biden’s was released therefore Palin will need to release hers. But as a more sane blogger pointed out, she should have a few days before this becomes an issue.

(AP) Presidential candidate John McCain isn’t happy about having to explain why the Republican Party has had to buy running mate Sarah Palin $150,000 in clothes, hair styling and accessories.
McCain was asked several questions on Thursday about the shopping spree — and he answered each one more or less the same way: Palin needed clothes and they’ll be donated to charity.
HOW WRONG FOR MCSHAME TO SAY THAT AN EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF AN OIL RICH STATE NEEDED CLOTH. THATS AN INSULT TO OUR DEAR PALIN WHOSE STATE IS PAYING EVERY DIME FOR HER ACTIVITIES EVEN WHEN SPYING ON RUSSIA

Kitty,
I said to READ the court documents! READ them! I’m sure that you can find them elsewhere. They are public documents. They should be on every website of the media, but we know why they’re not.
If you READ them and still disagree with me, that’s fine. But READ them, and ask yourself why Obama has refused to respond to the judge’s request for evidence.
Posted by: Tony | October 23, 2008, 3:41 pm 3:41 pm
Seeing as taxes have been brought up, I shall take it upon myself to illuminate a few points a bout taxes.
-We have a progress tax structure. This means that income up to and between certain levels are taxed at different rates.
ex (not real rates)
0-10k 10%
10k-30k 15%
30k-100k 25%
100k-250k 30%
250k+ 35%
Now, if I make 265k, I do not pay 92.75k in taxes, I pay 71.75k. How? On the First 10k I make, I pay 1k, the next 20k, 3k, the following 70k, I pay 17.5k, the 150k range I pay 45k and the last 15k (265k-250k) I pay 5.25k.
Now, if the tax rates change to this-
0-10k 5%
10k-30k 10%
30k-100k 15%
100k-250k 35%
250k+ 40%
If I keep making 265k, I pay 71.5k in taxes, .25k less than under the previous tax structure. When may wages start increasing over 265k, then my taxes become less favorable under this new plan then the old.
The difference between a flat tax rate and a progressive tax rate is the idea the more money you make, the lower % of your income is going to necessary expenses (food, shelter, clothing, etc.). The hope is to tax people not on overall income, just the income that remains after taxes. This would be the equivalent to taxing corporations on profit vs total revenue.

If I were a woman, I wouldn’t want my medical records out there of my five births. Are you kidding? With this media? Hell no.
The only reason the media wants those medical records is so they can run with this story for a couple days to provide cover for Biden’s huge, telling statement. AND so that they can cover for Obama while he’s in HI.
The media is in an all-out conspiracy to make sure people have tons of doubt about Palin. She is as apple pie as can be, whereas Obama is as unamerica a president can possibly be. So instead of focusing on the issues of Obama’s past, they want to cast doubt and hate on this decent woman.
America should be outraged by the media. Remember, this is the same media that sold us the Iraq war that they now so abhor.

Sarah Palin doesn’t have anything to hide. Obama has never produced a Certified Certificate of Live Birth (not a copy put up on the internet) or his college records. Why don’t you ask for these? If he was even born in the U.S. he still may have lost his citizenship when his step-father adopted him and he became Barry Soetoro. Under U.S. law at that time Barry would have lost his U.S. citizenship. If you go to You Tube and search under “October Surprise” you can get a more detailed explaination.

Jason – You want to know why this Christian mom is scared to death of Ms Palin. She represents all that is wrong with the Republican party as I can see it. Since Jerry Falwell and his goons took this party over in the 1980′s, it has slowly declined and descended into this Republican party of 2008. Gone are the conservative Christian values and fiscal responsability ideals. They have been replaced with Rightious hatred and intollerance and out of control greed. If I were to look to the Republican party for God. He would not be there or if he is he is buried under all of this hatered and intollerance of these Neo Nazi religious fanatics (read Muslem Terrorists) who go around burning buildgins, bombing clinics and spewing racial epitapths and other comments that are not of God. I have never voted for A Democratic President but I have already voted for Obama. You know why? Because as a CHristian I cannot abide by ANYTHING that this Hatefilled Republican Party Stands for.

The birth certificate in http://my.barackobama.com/birthcertificate states that “ANY ALTERATIONS INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE”. The Certificate No. was ‘blackened out’ making it invalid. Also, there’s no embosed seal on that certificate, nor a date when the certification was made.

It seems as though they all have something that they are not being on the “up and up” about. I do believe that they should all provide birth and medical records up front before being allowed to get this far. I, also would not be surprised to find out that Sarah is not the biological mother of Trig. I am wondering if there is a way she could have the medical documents “fixed” to reflect 5 pregnancies.

To all you morons that are still contending that Barack Obama has not disclosed his birth certificate or insinuating that he is not a natural born citizen of America, FOLLOW THE LINK. There is a pic of the cert. But like everything else, you morons will deny the truth and still continue with these ridiculous allegations tossed in the mix by Rush Limbaugh and the Limbaugh Lemmings.

voting for barack who is for things that the BIBLE clearly opposes…makes you just as guilty as those who commit the sins. we are NOt a hate filled party…the ones posting here i dont think are acting smartly, but that doesnt mean the whole party is that way. and voting only bc one side is hatefilled…have you SEEN what the demos are writing? clearly your christianity is only skin deep…

Was Obama actually adopted by his stepfather? He did use his stepfather’s last name for many years (which is odd if he wasn’t adopted). If he was adopted by his stepfather, how does that affect running for president of U.S.? Does he have dual citizenship? Does he have triple citizenship (Africa)?
Why are there so many questions about Obama which still have not been answered?

Jenny so true. The fact that McCain hired the same sleezebags that slimed him when he ran against Bush says a lot about McCains integrity (he has none).
McCain has sold his soul to get elected, even if it meant getting help from the same republican sleezemachine that helped Bush get into the White House.
McCain may have been a maverick once, but that was a long time ago. Now, he’s a Bush clone.

liz ann,
As a Christian, your statement makes my stomach turn. You say that you know that Ombama stands for things that are clearly against what you claim to be your beliefs — against the Word of God. So how you could cast your vote for him is beyond comprehension.
Posted by: ShanaRW | October 23, 2008, 4:00 pm 4:00 pm
“Gone are the conservative Christian values and fiscal responsability ideals. They have been replaced with Rightious hatred and intollerance and out of control greed”
Which unChristian values would those be that you have a problem with? Would it be protecting children from being murdered as trash? Would it be being pro-life? Would it be protecting marriage as defined in the Bible? Would it be honoring the troops? Would it be “rendering unto Caesar the things that belong to caesar, but to God the things that belong to God?”
My Christian friend, you need to take a deep look. The abortion issue trumps all; handing out welfare checks in supposed “fairness” is not equivalent to protecting babies from murder. Jesus said “woe be unto them who offend one of these, My little ones.” YOu cannot pretend to love fairness if you condone the taking of a life of children who are the most vulnerable, innocent persons there are. And to say that because Obama wants to give checks to “help” the poor (lets be honest though, he is really just BUYING votes with TAX DOLLARS; he doesn’t have a record of helping the poor really) that somehow trumps a right to life is actually mocking God’s gift of life. Salvation cannot be bought, nor can life.
One thing about Obama: There is a video clip of Obama where he mocks the Sermon on the Mount. He calls it “radical.” To him Jesus is radical. Yet, somehow he had no problem with Jer. Wright, Tony Rezko and William Ayres.
You people who claim to be Christian for Obama really need to inspect yourselves.

Tony – His father was a citizen of Kenya therefore Obama was granted automatic citizenship of Britain. That does not negate his American citizenship as Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Anyone can file a lawsuit in attempts to skew the truth and create innuendo in the press. I can file a suit that you got drunk and ran over my dog and it will likely make it into the courts but that does not give any credence for or against the truth. The lawsuit is a political ploy and you know it. My granddaughter was born in Tacoma Washington her father is from Sweden. My granddaughter is still a “NATURL BORN CITIZEN” of the United States of America and that Tony is a FACT.

Instead of just spewing your hate online, why don’t you do some checking on your own? Your questions can be answered by some simple checking. I have read Obama’s biography, and I don’t recall him using Lolo’s last name. His African citizenship expired, as you could see if you would just do some checking on your own.

I grew up in a Baptist church where things coming down from the pulpit on any given Sunday rivled anyhting Rev Idiot Wright could ever come up with. For a long time I decided that if God were like most of the people I grew up with I was just fine without him. Then I found the right church for me. A chruch that is filled with the love of God for us and us for him. I was lucky. I am throughly disgusted with anything Republican at this time. I am sure there are a few Truly Christian Republicans outhtere but boy they sure are getting drowned out by the hatemongers.

A huge stage is being constructed in Chicago’s Grant Park, where Obama hopes to declare victory . The Chicago Sun-Times reports the price tag of the fanfare has been pegged at $2 million, to be picked up by the Obama campaign. Mayor Richard Daley reportedly suggested Obama use a cheaper venue, but was turned down. Wonder how much he’ll spend on his outfit? You can also buy a media pass for $2,000, or get a free one with no services and a “few obstuctions” in the view. Now that’s what I call spreading the wealth.

In light of Sen. McCain’s age, Gov. Palin’s records are an issue.
Gov. Palin challenged the media at the RNC and has avoided them since.
The most disturbing of her views which have surfaced from media and debate is that of what she views as powers of the Vice President.
In July, 2008, she stated that she didn’t know what the VP does.
Since then, despite specific wording in the US Consitution , she has repeatedly asserted that the VP has control in Senate and that the US Constitution provides “flexibility” for office of the VP.
This is one of the most activist interpretations of the Constitution ever. She has not been asked any “follow up” on this, but it is critical to know.
Either:
1) After two months of being nominated, she still does not understand the position for which she is running
or
2) she intends to subvert the US Constitution and US law and to expand the Vice President’s power over the US Senate – attacking the entire “checks and balances” system of our government.
(Remember, Senate confirms ALL Presidential appointments, including Supreme Court Justices.)
As such, the question is whether she understands the position or intends to expand and abuse the power of the position?
Pretty important question, no?

Please people should stop this nonsense about Palin this Palin that. What will happen if she refuse to open her medical record for public scrutiny? Whether she spends $150,000 on shopping spree or make her state pay all her children expenses are not important to us Republicans. Infact that amount is the least she will be spending as President or Vice. Spending has never been our problem, the problem of America are the middle class who would not want to work much more harder, i guess the need more tax to keep them busy

It’s no wonder that the ungodly media hates Sarah Palin. She represents Biblical values. Jesus said that those who try to do right would be hated by the world, and those who are evil will be loved by the world. This what we are seeing played out before our eyes.
On the one hand:
Obama– votes to allow the murder of babies who survive abortions. I can’t imagine Jesus condoning this. This is an antichrist position.
Obama– liberal as can possibly be.Has no record of accomplising anything for anyone but himself. Works hard to promote himself but not to promote anyone else. He’s a thief, a con artis and a liar. Attended for 20 years a “church” that spews hate and vitriol against people. Media covers it up for him. Media tries to make him appear mainstream.
Palin– pro-life; media hates her for it. Beautiful family; media hates her for it. Mentions the name of God; media crucifies her for it. Attending a Church that believes in end-times prophecy; media skewers her for it, and tries to label it as radical.
In many ways, this election is a battle between good and evil. Will the country go the way of end-times predictions of an increasingly hateful, pro-”choice,” one-world government system?
Or will America remain as that shining city upon the hill in a dark world, offering freedom and a positive force for good in the world? Jesus said that Christians are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its savor, how shall it be salted?
Biblical prophecy is unfolding before our eyes people. Obama will certainly be change, but “there is a way that seems right to a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death.”

House Democrats recently invited Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor at the New School of Social Research, to testify before a subcommittee on her idea to eliminate the preferential tax treatment of the popular retirement plans. In place of 401(k) plans, she would have workers transfer their dough into government-created “guaranteed retirement accounts” for every worker. The government would deposit $600 (inflation indexed) every year into the GRAs. Each worker would also have to save 5 percent of pay into the accounts, to which the government would pay a measly 3 percent return. Rep. Jim McDermott, a Democrat from Washington and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, said that since “the savings rate isn’t going up for the investment of $80 billion [in 401(k) tax breaks], we have to start to think about whether or not we want to continue to invest that $80 billion for a policy that’s not generating what we now say it should.”
What effect would this plan have on an already battered stock market? Well, I would imagine it would send it even lower, sticking a shiv into the portfolios of everyone who didn’t jump aboard. But I am sure the Chinese would love to jump in and buy all our cheap stocks to fund the retirement of their citizens.
The advent of private tax-deferred retirement accounts created a huge investor class in the US. By some estimations, more than 70% of American adults have money in the stock market in long-term investments for their eventual retirement. That’s a revolutionary change in the relationship between labor and ownership, one that capitalism succeeded in creating where Marx and his followers only fantasized.
What happens when the tax deferral on this investment ends? Most people won’t want to take the risks of the market without it, certainly not on the scale they do today (about $5 trillion in capital) and likely not after the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac collapse. They’ll start moving to savings accounts or gold and removing their money from the markets. The flight of capital will eliminate the necessary engine for recovery, but that’s a minor point. The price of stock will utterly collapse as everyone looks to liquidate their holdings, crashing Wall Street and throwing tens of millions out of work as publicly-held companies disintegrate.
Want to see the Dow at its status before tax-deferred private investment accounts got approved? We’ll look at 8500 with wistful nostalgia. Get ready for 1500.

Why is it that you don’t want more details on Sen. Obama’s health. A one page note from his doctor is a joke. As Sen. Obama is a long time smoker, I am sure there must be at least one x-ray of his lungs. Why is there no Media Outcry over this, after all he is the one running to be the President on the Democratic ticket. We know more about Biden’s health even if it is 20 years old then we know about Sen. Obama. What are you hiding….

“Hillary Clinton is now SENATOR Clinton. And although a spouse should not occupy the powers that be of an elected official, it is inmensely ignorant to think that an intelligent person is not going to take his/her place next to the spouse. Now I”m not condoning Todd Palins’ use of ELected official’s “powers that be” but we ARE talking about someone who went on to become elected HERSELF and the first female to run for a party’s presidential ticket.”
A it was a joke…remeber thar little concept called humor???
B. SENATOR Clinton had to move to a liberal state like NY to get “elected”.
Dont blame me for possibly thinking she was VP, go back over her campaigns….she has been saying her expereince goes back as far as Bill’s did. Last time I looked, that ballot didnt say Bill Clinton & Spouse!

Someone mentioned that S.P.’s medical records might show that Trig is actually Bristol’s baby. What if DNA tests show that not only was he Bristol’s kid, but that Todd was the father? Chances are that they would find a way to blame it on the liberal media or claim that it was the Holy Spirit that got virgin Bristol knocked up.

Regarding Obama’s birth certificate:
The birth certificate posted on-line is a Certification of Live Birth. It is not a Certificate of Live Birth. Some people think that the on-line certificate is a forgery. As far as I am concerned that doesn’t make any practical difference. It certainly will say something, however, about Obama’s character if indeed it is a forgery.
Obama needs to supply a certified copy of his Certificate of Live Birth, just as Philip J. Berg is asking for in his law suit.
Go to the following web site to find out the difference:
http://hawaii.gov/dhhl/applicants/appforms/applyhhl
“In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated ]Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.”
To date, Obama has not supplied the Certificate of Live Birth, which is the long form certificate that Berg wants. Isn’t it a legitimate question to wonder why? Even the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands bases its decisions on the Certificate of Live Birth, and not the Certification of Live Birth.
Some have asked how we think Obama has gotten this far without being a natural born citizen? That is a very good question indeed! If he has gotten this far by supplying proper documentation, then it should be no problem for him to supply that documentation to Mr. Berg and make the law suit go away.

Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?
By Orson Scott Card
Editor’s note: Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and a newspaper columnist, and in this opinion piece he takes on both while lamenting the current state of journalism.
An open letter to the local daily paper — almost every local daily paper in America:
I remember reading All the President’s Men and thinking: That’s journalism. You do what it takes to get the truth and you lay it before the public, because the public has a right to know.
This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration.
It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans.
What is a risky loan? It’s a loan that the recipient is likely not to be able to repay.
The goal of this rule change was to help the poor — which especially would help members of minority groups. But how does it help these people to give them a loan that they can’t repay? They get into a house, yes, but when they can’t make the payments, they lose the house — along with their credit rating.
They end up worse off than before.
This was completely foreseeable and in fact many people did foresee it. One political party, in Congress and in the executive branch, tried repeatedly to tighten up the rules. The other party blocked every such attempt and tried to loosen them.
Furthermore, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were making political contributions to the very members of Congress who were allowing them to make irresponsible loans. (Though why quasi-federal agencies were allowed to do so baffles me. It’s as if the Pentagon were allowed to contribute to the political campaigns of Congressmen who support increasing their budget.)
Isn’t there a story here? Doesn’t journalism require that you who produce our daily paper tell the truth about who brought us to a position where the only way to keep confidence in our economy was a $700 billion bailout? Aren’t you supposed to follow the money and see which politicians were benefiting personally from the deregulation of mortgage lending?
I have no doubt that if these facts had pointed to the Republican Party or to John McCain as the guilty parties, you would be treating it as a vast scandal. “Housing-gate,” no doubt. Or “Fannie-gate.”
Instead, it was Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, both Democrats, who denied that there were any problems, who refused Bush administration requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and who were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the minute they failed.
As Thomas Sowell points out in a TownHall.com essay entitled “Do Facts Matter?” ( http://snipurl.com/457townhall_com ): “Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury.”
These are facts. This financial crisis was completely preventable. The party that blocked any attempt to prevent it was … the Democratic Party. The party that tried to prevent it was … the Republican Party.
Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!
What? It’s not the liar, but the victims of the lie who are to blame?
Now let’s follow the money … right to the presidential candidate who is the number-two recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae.
And after Freddie Raines, the CEO of Fannie Mae who made $90 million while running it into the ground, was fired for his incompetence, one presidential candidate’s campaign actually consulted him for advice on housing.
If that presidential candidate had been John McCain, you would have called it a major scandal and we would be getting stories in your paper every day about how incompetent and corrupt he was.
But instead, that candidate was Barack Obama, and so you have buried this story, and when the McCain campaign dared to call Raines an “adviser” to the Obama campaign — because that campaign had sought his advice — you actually let Obama’s people get away with accusing McCain of lying, merely because Raines wasn’t listed as an official adviser to the Obama campaign.
You would never tolerate such weasely nit-picking from a Republican.
If you who produce our local daily paper actually had any principles, you would be pounding this story, because the prosperity of all Americans was put at risk by the foolish, short-sighted, politically selfish, and possibly corrupt actions of leading Democrats, including Obama.
If you who produce our local daily paper had any personal honor, you would find it unbearable to let the American people believe that somehow Republicans were to blame for this crisis.
There are precedents. Even though President Bush and his administration never said that Iraq sponsored or was linked to 9/11, you could not stand the fact that Americans had that misapprehension — so you pounded us with the fact that there was no such link. (Along the way, you created the false impression that Bush had lied to them and said that there was a connection.)
If you had any principles, then surely right now, when the American people are set to blame President Bush and John McCain for a crisis they tried to prevent, and are actually shifting to approve of Barack Obama because of a crisis he helped cause, you would be laboring at least as hard to correct that false impression.
Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That’s what you claim you do, when you accept people’s money to buy or subscribe to your paper.
But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie — that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad — even bad weather — on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them to.
If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on telling the truth — even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite candidate.
Because that’s what honorable people do. Honest people tell the truth even when they don’t like the probable consequences. That’s what honesty means . That’s how trust is earned.
Barack Obama is just another politician, and not a very wise one. He has revealed his ignorance and naivete time after time — and you have swept it under the rug, treated it as nothing.
Meanwhile, you have participated in the borking of Sarah Palin, reporting savage attacks on her for the pregnancy of her unmarried daughter — while you ignored the story of John Edwards’s own adultery for many months.
So I ask you now: Do you have any standards at all? Do you even know what honesty means?
Is getting people to vote for Barack Obama so important that you will throw away everything that journalism is supposed to stand for?
You might want to remember the way the National Organization of Women threw away their integrity by supporting Bill Clinton despite his well-known pattern of sexual exploitation of powerless women. Who listens to NOW anymore? We know they stand for nothing; they have no principles.
That’s where you are right now.
It’s not too late. You know that if the situation were reversed, and the truth would damage McCain and help Obama, you would be moving heaven and earth to get the true story out there.
If you want to redeem your honor, you will swallow hard and make a list of all the stories you would print if it were McCain who had been getting money from Fannie Mae, McCain whose campaign had consulted with its discredited former CEO, McCain who had voted against tightening its lending practices.
Then you will print them, even though every one of those true stories will point the finger of blame at the reckless Democratic Party, which put our nation’s prosperity at risk so they could feel good about helping the poor, and lay a fair share of the blame at Obama’s door.
You will also tell the truth about John McCain: that he tried, as a Senator, to do what it took to prevent this crisis. You will tell the truth about President Bush: that his administration tried more than once to get Congress to regulate lending in a responsible way.
This was a Congress-caused crisis, beginning during the Clinton administration, with Democrats leading the way into the crisis and blocking every effort to get out of it in a timely fashion.
If you at our local daily newspaper continue to let Americans believe — and vote as if — President Bush and the Republicans caused the crisis, then you are joining in that lie.
If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats — including Barack Obama — and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans — then you are not journalists by any standard.
You’re just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it’s time you were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a news paper in our city.

The fact that McCain has made a poorly-vetted individual (”Joe the Plumber,” who is not even a plumber, would in fact benefit from Obama’s proposed tax structure) a central symbol of his campaign shows how intellectually bankrupt the republicans are. They hope to scare voters into believing that Obama (whose tax structure will benefit 80% of Americans) is in fact a socialist out to steal and re-distribute their hard-earned money. Why doesn’t McCain make a case as to why his own proposed tax structure (making permanent the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy) will benefit Americans, and will get us out of our enormous debt?

PITTSBURGH — A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.
Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.
Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank’s surveillance cameras.
The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

It’s not her medical records that are on trial here, but whether she’s an honest outside-the-beltway hockey mom like we want to believe, or a hypocrite and a liar on fundamental issues like family and abortion. People are Fed UP! Put up or shut up. Nothing to hide? Easy to prove. Look, people smell a rat. She admits she didn’t look pregnant until 7.5 months and flew from TX to AK after her “water” broke without saying anything about it to anyone, to deliver the baby 5 weeks early. She claims to have known it would be a Down’s Syndrome baby, which is based on a chromosomal test of the baby taken by amniocentesis early in the pregnancy, a non-trivial test that doctors are required to inform the mother carries a real risk of ending the pregnancy (abortion) and which is therefore only performed if the parents-to-be will profitably USE that information. Palin claimed she just wanted to be mentally prepared in case it was Downs – For What?! For the terror of having a god-given child that smiles and laughs more than most kids? OR, to consider the option of the only medical alternative (abortion), which is the ONLY reason amnio is done early in the pregnancy. OR, did she not have amnio and therefore not “choose” to have a Downs child? OR, was it not hers in the first place. Put up or shut up.

Seriously, Slick Barry??
Did Obama forget which war he doesn’t mind losing? Obama usually says he wants to “end” the war in Iraq and “win” war in Afghanistan. Throughout the campaign he has argued that more troops and resources would lead to success in Afghanistan, but he said that that same policy would lead to failure in Iraq.

Now a report of a young woman (21) who volunteered at the phone banks, for McCain. Last night, went to an ATM. A man came up behind her, and demanded $60. She gave it to him. Then saw her car, with a McCain bumpersticker. Hit her on the head, then carved a B in her face.
Even if I agreed with Obama’s ideologies, I would pass on a vote for him. To associate with such hate, and vitriol, and intolerance, is just to much.

I thought it was to benefit 95%..and was just changed, to include the only ones benefitting would be working people, when before it was those who don’t pay income taxes.
As for socialism. Obama said he wanted to redistrubte the wealth in that video with Joe.
Socialism is defined as: An “economic, social and political doctrine which expresses the struggle for the equal distribution of wealth by eliminating private property and the exploitative ruling class.
Now Democrats are going to try and rid us of 401k’s and put us in another type of social security system for retirement, on top of the social security we already have. Get ready to dock 5% more off of your paycheck.
Big corporations create the jobs. Give them lower taxes, that gives them more revenue to grow, and create the jobs. Give them more taxes, and they pass that on to you, in higer prices for their goods, or services.
Ireland lowered their business tax to 11% and are doing very well. The United States currently, has the second largest in the world, and what’s happened? Fewer jobs. Lower taxes mean more jobs. Higher taxes means fewer jobs.

I think the records show no proof of her having given birth to that baby she started to supposedly have in TX, then flew to Seattle, then to Alaska and then drove 50 miles to have.

Your link is to the certificate of live birth. That is not the same as a certification of birth. A certificate of live birth is issued when you lose or do not have the certification of birth.
@ Mike—If you lose the original, how do you produce it. I lost mine. Do I still need to show the original, even though I do not have it? How much sense does that make?

OMG! People get a grip. From those who want us to believe Obama (who was born in Hawaii) is not a citizen or is some kind of terrorist to those who flat out talk of some kind of “war” and “take over” by the Democrats, get over it! TALK ABOUT BEING PARANOID! It’s not about political party politics, although a LOT of you out there would make it such. It is about who will lead the best. Certainaly not McLame and Palin the rear.

JEANIE – It’s just amazing that people can make up stories and then get outraged about them. Either you are lying for the sake of expression or you are not sane. Either way, it’s not a very attractive human characteristic.

So the accusation that Trig is Bristols, when Bristol is currently pregnant and Trig is roughly 5 months old. Can you tell me how this is physically possible?

Do the clowns who think Obama’s not a US citizen really think that both Hillary and the GOP would just sit on the info?
My own theory is those posters are from Mars, but I can’t prove it at the moment, because Michelle Bachmann is probing me.

Why should we care who gave birth to whom? Or who they slept with? Is this where the American gossip culture has brought us? We have a country to fix.
Posted by: jock59801 | October 23, 2008, 6:10 pm 6:10 pm
Jeanie it’s not physically possible. Trig could not be Bristol’s child! Trig was born in April. He’s six months old. Bristol’s baby is due in December. It takes nine months to carry a child to full term. Even if Bristol got pregnant again immediately after giving birth the baby wouldn’t be due until at least in January!

Ummm – to all you asking about Obama’s records – a summary of them was released in May. Or are you asking for the differences between now and then? Well, I can guarantee his stress levels and blood pressure are higher.
I agree, as Paul Tsongas once called for, the records should be released. Paul Tsongas is case in point on that one.
Posted by: DMcQueen | October 23, 2008, 6:14 pm 6:14 pm
Amen, Jock, and you are correct, Carly.
It makes me angry that this, accusation of Trig not being Sarah’s child , while having been proven false months ago…is still being used.
It tells me a lot about the mindset voting here. Buy into the rumors, and hate mongering, without bothering to look for truth.
Let me guess. Some actually made bids on this baby, when some hateful thugs put his pic up on ebay, to sell him?
Posted by: Jeanie | October 23, 2008, 6:16 pm 6:16 pm
As far as Trig being Bristol’s child – that also is a silly issue. Trig is the Governor’s child. But the circumstances surrounding Trig’s birth should call into question Sarah’s character. Why endanger her helf and the health of her unborn child to give a political speech, fly an airplane, and refuse medical care until in Alaska? That is the question she needs to answer, not the red herring question of whether Trig is hers.

The only reason why you don’t release medical records is because you have something to keep private (hide).
I think it is absurd that politicians have to do this to begin with, but given that she clearly has something of concern.
Speculation would be unseemly.

What we should be worried about.
Earlier today, a blogger submitted three contributions under a false name of John Galt, using his (The bloggers) legitimate credit card.
It went thru, using the false name.
Word of this got around, and several people decided to test it. They did. One even claimed to have a foreign credit card for I assume his work. He used it, using 5 different names, from 5 different locations around the world, using this one card. They all went thru.
Many are trying it, and the donations are going thru, and they also go, and donate $5 at McCains site, using the same names, and method, only to be denied.
Now, just awhile ago……this happened.
“Unbelievable. Suddenly, after multiple blog readers had their phony donations accepted and this story started percolating on right-wing blogs, the security system is magically back in place.”

Palin is soooooo strong to tolerate graciously the disgraceful abuse she gets from the lefty loving biased media all the time. It just makes the media look more stupid every day the way they protect the chosen one, not matter how much taxpayer money he wastes. Makes you wonder who owns these networks and if they have a huge investment in who wins this election. Isn’t is tacky they haven’t posted anything about the lawsuit against the chosen one because he hasn’t provided any concrete evidence about whether he was born in the US, nor anything elese he was asked to deliver to the Citizes, who have a right to know something about him before they vote.

As a VP candidate, she should produce basic medical records. having promised to do so, she should produce them expeditiously. Personally, I’ll bet there’s nothing exciting in them at all. However, a delayed release surely does distract people, doesn’t it? All the snarky comments from both sides are evidence to me this is a “bright shiny object” to distract the masses… that would be Us; the ones underwriting the whole show.

1.ABC news is not liberal. ABC News needs to sell advertising time. ABC like most TV news outlets presents stories in a tittilating way to generate controversy. Controversy attracts viewers, viewers increase ratings, ratings sell advertising time.
2.Sarah Palin is middle-aged. Years ago women who had babies with Down’s Syndrome were said to have had a “change of life” baby.
3.If you oppose a candidate, doesn’t it make more sense to talk about facts based in reality, than to rant and rave about made-up nonsense, which only makes you sound silly and therefore unreliable and someone to be ignored?

Obama should release a complete medical record rather than a one page doctor’s note summary. I not against Obama, I just wish he would fully answer questions from the beginning. Instead, he always seems to hold back information making people believe he is hiding something.

BOZO- Get your facts straight and stop LYING in every single blog that you write with your 2 dozen different names, ObamaBOT!
Almost two weeks ago, CNN had a “Special Investigations” report by the title:
“Fit To Lead: An Historical Overview Of The Health Concerns, And Medical Care Of The U.S. Presidency”
CNN said that Obama HAS NOT RELEASED ALL HIS MEDICAL RECORDS LIKE MCCAIN HAS DONE.
CNN also said that Obama has only released an one page “Doctor’s Report” (yeah, it sounds to me like those reports that kids bring to school when they are out sick!!!) It says that he is in “excellent health”
(we have the right to remain skeptical- what about mental health issues?/records? substance abuce records…he was a drug abuser, wasn’t he?)
SO-
WHY BARACK OBAMA IS NOT RELEASING HIS MEDICAL RECORDS???!!!
WHAT IS HIS BIG SECRET?
Brrrrr – everything about Big O is a BIG SECRET!
ObamaBot- you act like you know everything but YOU DO NOT! In fact you are either clueless or a cumpulsive LIAR.
That’s OK, his “pretty speeches” will eventually be replaced by the real facts and if he is elected before the facts are out….
well, that is what “impeachments” are for.
Isn’t this a great country!!
Now ObamaBOT- go here (see link below) and read the entire CNN trancript so next time bloggers ask similar questions you do NOT mislead them by your systematic and compulsive LYING!

Here’s what it said, “Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical check ups and various minor problems like upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”
Dr. Ellis says there is no reason to doubt the official statement.

Where the heck are Obama’s medical records, hah?
The only thing that he has released is an one page “Doctor’s Note” like the ones kids bring to school when they are out sick. It basically says that he is in good health!
Why is the freaking media so interested in Palin’s medical records and in Obama’s WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! The media witches – Catie Curic and Campbell Brown(ose) and their male colleagues – those male sexist pigs at CNN and MSNBC are just looking for reasons to change the subject of the news from “Joe The Plumber” to Palin’s $150,000 louzy dollars wardrobe (I am sure Obama’s designer suits, ties, shoes, and Swiss watches have costed a heck of a lot more) and to her medical records.
Suddenly, the economy is not such a big issue – Palin’s medical records are – and in their twisted brains Palin’s medical records are more importamt thna Obama’s!
Why is Obama not releasing his? Is he hiding some mental illness perhaps? Hah?
Has he had frequent visits to “therapists” and for what reason? Can we see ALL his drug abuse related records? Once an addict, someone is considered an addict all their life even if they are “clean” for years. Th possibility od relapse is always there. Why he is NOT telling us the facts?
Is this is why he has drives of people voting for him early so they will not be able tochange their mind once some more facts come to light?
SHAME ON THE BIASED PARTISAN MEDIA MORONS ESPECIALLY JOHN CLOWN – AS IN JOHN KLEIN – PRESIDENT OF CNN – AS HE HAS RUINED CNN. TO THE OTHER CLOWN – THE PRESIDENT OF NBC/MSNBC NBC – JEFF ZUCKER – I SAY THAT HE IS MORE PATHETIC THAN THE HIS IDIOTS KEITH OLBERMANN AND CHRIS MATHEWS.
To all of the above and meny other left-wing-liberal media MOrons:
You are a disgrace not only to serious journalism but a disgrace to yourselves!

Because either way there will be an outcry of foul play and possibly…even rioting. His plan is coming together so well, I can’t believe it.
In spite of all the problems in the country, or the world for that matter, in spite of the fact the majority of this is his cause, in spite of the shame that his popularity is the worst ever in our entire history…how sincere he smiles. How happy he looks, unable to hide his content of how well his plan is coming along, and how short the time before it unfolds.

PITTSBURGH — A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.
Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.
Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank’s surveillance cameras.
The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

It seems that the Democrats only cause trouble in the USA. It is anyway a contradictory party because it claims to be liberal but was against blacks in the last century, cut away a female presidential candidate and runs misogynist campaigns against Palin. You would better stick to the Republicans if you want to play save.

I am sure that the presidential election of Obama happened on calculation by the democrats. They know how America ticks and that they would have more chances with a black candidate (to get the votes of black people ( as black people are a vast majority in the States now) than with a female candidate because it seems (after reading a lot of comments in US newspapers so far) that America has a bigger gender issue than it has a black and white issue!
You just need to read the misogynist campaigns against Palin.
And just look at the fact how Hillary was cut away.
America is not that proggressive country what I always thought it would be.
We are far more proggressive in Europe with all our female heads of state and governement and female secretaries.

I always wanted to emigrate to the States because I thought America was the country of equal rights and unlimited possibilities.
Now I prefer to stay in Europe, as an academic with a high income in sight, I don’t want an Obama who would spread around my money nor do I want to live in a country where women are run down as it is happening for instance with Palin or cut off from presidential candidature as it happened with Clinton and all this done by the democrats for the sake of power.no thanks.

Gina: Democrats prefer submissive women like Bill Clinton’s interns and Rep. Mahoney’s staff (personal haram). The feminist line is just for show, though alot of folls believe it. If you’ve got a good job in Europe, stick with it until 2012 when Obama’s gone.

Yeah thats a tough one. As a woman I think it would be pretty embarrassing to have all my medical records released. I have never actually seen mine! Who knows what the doctors wrote down… It depends a lot on how the media handles it as well. Are they going to see every gyno exam… etc… But if a man had a prostate or other male issue, we would probably hear about that… It sounds like she knows ‘some people’. Who knows how accurate her records will be anyways…

On behalf of many non-US citizens following your election I have to say that I find it amazing that so many people who cannot think logically, argue coherently, or even check their facts before spouting forth with various conspiracy theories are allowed to vote. Amazing really! And to think that we let you lot rule the world! By the way thanks for stuffing up the global economy for the rest of us!

Hmmm lets see we got to see all of John McCains records, probably gonna get to see Palins too so you can really see she had a kid.. but we get a one page Dr’s letter for Obama and medical records missing the brain scans for whats his name.. Any mention of that on ABC news?
Posted by: pkatt | October 24, 2008, 3:00 am 3:00 am
My husband and I like so many people nowadays are registered Independent. We aren’t crazy about McCain, we liked Obama in the beginning but have changed our views the more we learn about “his new changes”. In all seriousness, we have a business that will start “laying off” employees if we are taxed any more. Friends who own a very large business just laid off 6 employees and will lay off more if Obama wants to implement his policy of “spreading the wealth”. We are the people who employ people in our community and when all of the small business people like ourselves have to start eliminating jobs, well, it is going to be scary for everyone. We don’t have that much “wealth to spread” and quite honestly don’t want to. We have both worked since we were 14 and maybe it is time for others to work just as long and hard to get what they want.
Actually, we are more concerned with Biden’s comment about Obama being tested…the media has just glossed over those comments but the reality of another attack or worse is quite frightening.
Who cares about medical records or the amount of money spent on clothes…how insignificant that really is…

You know, ABC, it’s not a secret who you work for. Back in the days of Frank Reynolds, and Peter Jennings, of the thoughtful and unwaveringly impartial Ted Koppel, you were my favorite network. But the tasteless, shameless persecution of Sarah Palin just because she shares, with Geraldine Ferraro, the distinction of having actually made it to the No. 2 position of one of the leading parties’ tickets in a Presidential election is offensive beyond words. I, who have worked for and contributed to many successful Democratic elections, including the famous 2006 vote that made Nancy Pelosi Speaker, am going to vote Republican for the first time in many years — and work superhard to get others to join me. I will renounce MoveOn & use their tactics to organize the republican base. And I will never support Pelosi, Feinstein or Boxer again. You want to know how? Because of you, ABC; because of shows like The View; and because of people like Katie Couric at CBS, who become prominent thanks to family connections and then use their visibility to mock and deride other women just because they hold different political opinions. The Democrats want everyone to be tolerant of all their quirks, but show absolutely zero tolerance for those who happen to lead a life of principle showcasing convictions different from those of the celebrity-chasing affluent elites. Angeline or Madonna adopt a baby and they’re practically canonized. Cindy McCain adopts a baby and nobody even cares. Nancy Pelosi has five kids: great! Sarah Palin has five kids? “How dare she!” And the latest attacks, on her wardrobe? For God’s sake, don’t you want your leading candidates, now all over the world thanks to the media, to look good? Does anyone scrutinize B. Walters’ shopping receipts? Sawyer’s? Didn’t we love it that Jackie looked divine all the time? Wasn’t Nancy Reagan’s style part of what elevated America’s prestige in the world (after Rosalynn Carter)? How would Rosalynn have looked next to Raisa? How should our next White House look, next to Carla Bruni, or the leadership of all these other major countries? And how dare you even consider the medical records? You may think it’s all over, and subverting the electoral process is good so long as you fawn on the “presumed winner”. But mark my words, the economic damage you are doing yourselves, and your reputation, by persecuting Sarah Palin instead of focusing on the issues will haunt you for decades to come. This election is still a fight — stick to the rules of engagement.

Phil: In case you don’t know it, Phil, the election hasn’t happened yet! It’s only October 24th, not November 5th!Very few people have voted. The majority won’t vote until November 4th. It’s not over until all the votes have come in and have been counted no matter what the media or the polls say! As far as the media claiming that Obama is ahead in electoral votes, well that’s just their projected nonsense! They are just going by the polls. There is a silent majority who has not taken part in the polls but will be voting anyway. November 4th is yet to come. Obama hasn’t won anything yet!

wow some fairly ignorant comments re Obama..why label him Osama for instance? How awful and hateful to say that? You’re just showing the rest of the world what we already know, a large part of the US is paranoid, hostile and xenophobic. You don’t play world sports (football,rugby,cricket) you don’t watch any world tv (any good shows from the world have to be remade for the US!lol) and you don’t like anyone who is or could have links to anything Muslim. Which is strange as they are just another religion, its the fundemantlist religious nutters that bother most people (Christain and Muslim)
Some of these really right wing Republicans make me ashamed I was orignally US born and from Republican stock. Glad I moved to be honest, much prefer the moderate Conservatism over here. Who gives a damn about birth certificates and medical records, what about the policies?
Posted by: sal | October 24, 2008, 6:47 am 6:47 am
Who cares about her medical record or any other candidates. That is confidential information for every American. I’m voting for Obama but I don’t see how Palins record is relevent. Let’s discuss thing people care about.
Posted by: TATIANA | October 24, 2008, 7:24 am 7:24 am
What everyone is failing to realize is that regardless of who ends up in the white house money is going to be spent in ways none of us like. If people had been smart they wouldn’t have voted for Bush a second time around he jacked the economy all up. So it doesn’t matter one of the candidates is going to make some of America unhappy but they are left to fix what the last president didn’t have the sense to fix so stop whinign and complaining suck it up hope things get better and get over being self absorbed.
Posted by: TATIANA | October 24, 2008, 7:33 am 7:33 am
What a double standard. I cannot believe the way the mainstream media has been reporting on this election. Do you think that you are smarter than us? Do you think that you are better able to decide what is better for me and mine? Barack Obama has not released any medical records with less than 2 weeks to go! A statement from a Dr. is not medical records! This should be in the headlines. Shame on you! Stop slanting everything to Obamas side. If he is elected will you report anything negative about him and his administration or will you all decide what is best for our country to know. Just do your job and report the news unbiased as a reporter should and let we the people make up our own minds. Really, we can!
Posted by: paul | October 24, 2008, 7:38 am 7:38 am
Why don’t she just give them a doctor’s note saying she’s healthy the same way Obama did. ABC, again you’re being bias with your reporting. How come you have not asked about Obama releasing his Medical records. Wouldn’t you like to see why his lips are always blue. Maybe he has something to hide like a STD or some revelant disease that may hamper his abilities in the near future.
Posted by: Will | October 24, 2008, 7:40 am 7:40 am
Hey Sal, give me a break. Don’t you read ALL the post. If your going to complain about the post, at least complain that both candidates are being disrespected by the other candidates blogs. There are no posts worse than those posted against Palin. Take the blinders off and open your eyes and read.
Posted by: Will | October 24, 2008, 7:51 am 7:51 am
EVERYONE else has released their records. The public has a right to know if the person they are electing is healthy enough to fulfill their duties. Seems fishy that ONCE AGAIN – we’re making exceptions for Sarah Palin. It’s not chivalry, nobody is “picking” on her, she shouldn’t get any special treatment. She would be next in line to be the leader of the free world if they’re elected.. I’d prefer to know NOW if she has a mental illness or other medical issues! Fair and equal treatment means JUST THAT!
Posted by: Jessica | October 24, 2008, 8:20 am 8:20 am
Perhaps this is on Palin’s medical record:
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
That may explain why she repeatedly has abused her power so much. She probably believes that she is entitled to these extra “perks” and that it is fine to use government money for personal vacations, etc. The criticism part helps explain why, as governor, she lashes back at those who speak against her.
Posted by: Ellen | October 24, 2008, 9:09 am 9:09 am
most of you people are dumb. Obama is a US citizen. On the other hand I am sure that babby is not Palin’s so I would like to see the hospital records.
Wouldn’t you republicans feel a little bit more stupid when you find out everything you thought was true about both Mccain and Palin turns out to be fake. Mccain talked and told our secrets to the vietnamise, and palin is raising her daughters child.

No women has her water break continues on to a meeting and then takes a plain from texas to alaska,. befor giving birth. this is just not logical or responsible of someone. when your water breaks you need to get to the ospital right away. So i suspect something about what she has said turns out to be a lie.
Posted by: DB | October 24, 2008, 9:20 am 9:20 am
Medical records are PRIVATE. A personal Physician’s statement of general health condition should be sufficient.
As an employer I cannot even state the specific reason someone calls in sick. Only that they are ill nothing else if someone asks. And medically related documents are maintained separately from other paper work in personnel files.
What business is it of the world the candidates health condition is? In particular the VP nominee since we all hope that their health will never be an issue in leading the country.
The way the medical “industry” (not profession) makes new ailments and syndromes up daily for the drug companies to come up with another pill for us to take. A person can have a new problem or two in a day.
I fully support Palin’s (and all other candidates) reluctance to disclose her records to the public and don’t think they should.
By the way – I have already voted for Obama and the Democratic ticket.

Hey Jessica, Ellen, Donna, D.B. – Obama put out a one page Medical Sheet which equates to handing in a note from your doctor saying you are healthy. I could understand you all demanding that Palin release her medical records, but you should also demand your candidate, “Old Blue Lips” to release his Medical Documents too. The world would love to know why his lips are always blue. I don’t understand why so many women hate Palin. I hope my two girls will have the strength, ambition, and drive that Palin has and not knuckle under and let Men control their lifes. After all, it’s going to be a women’s world soon and if your not capable of breaking the bonds of men controling you, then you’ll be stuck in the basement and never see that glass ceiling.

And I can speak for alot of women, we don’t HATE Palin..we just are smart enough to realize she is not educated enough to run our COUNTRY!! Nothing personal-this is one job where you can’t FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT..ok? She hasn’t been in the Political world long enough to earn her dues as Hillary has. THe GOP’s thought by picking a ‘skirt’ that we might not notice she had nothing beyond a skirt to run for the highest office in the land. Do you get it now? Now stop whining & go vote!

Considering how stupid this has become lets go ahead and speculate that Todd is the real mother of the baby since he and his wife had sex changes in order to share the beauty of childbirth. Now this is one that should get ABC’s attention. Obama should release his records, now! I guessing he is hiding treatment for drug dependence not just smoking. Now prove me wrong. You started all the rumors about Palin lets do the same about Obama.

Who Can Make The Big Changes In Washington? We Need Your Support, Thanks!
I believe that McCain-Palin with the rest of our ticket for reform best represents our best hope for America and are ready to serve our country. With your help and support, we can make this happen on November 4th. Stand with us now and join our team. We need your support, James Everitt.
I’m for lower taxes and smaller government, because lower taxes are better for families, property owners, and small businesses. With lower taxes, businesses have more money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate, promotes economic growth, and reduces unemployment.
And if we limit the scope of the federal government in accordance with the constitution, we decrease spending and reducing taxes, increasing our liberty in several ways:
(1) Liberty is increased when government is reduced to its essential and necessary functions, because there is no longer a role for lobbyists fighting to increase pork for their favorite non-essential, unnecessary programs.
(2) Liberty is increased when more government functions and decisions are handled at the state and local levels, closer to the American people.
(3) Liberty is increased when individual citizens have more responsibility and when government has less control.
(4) Limited government leads to lower taxes, and with lower taxes, liberty is increased because businesses have more of their own money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate and promotes job growth.
(5) Limited government leads to lower taxes, which is better for families and property owners. With lower taxes, liberty is increased because individuals and families have more of their own money – increased take-home pay – for their needs: food, clothing, housing, education, health insurance, and retirement.
(6) When people are able to provide for themselves, they are more likely to achieve prosperity and less dependent on government programs. In turn, this leads to further reduction in government spending, allowing the remaining money to be targeted to legitimate needs, such as military veterans, orphans, and people with severe disabilities.

Hey Jason and Liz An- You 2 and those like you, are the reason our country is in the mess it is in today. Here’s why- You vote on one issue- abortion and that is all you focus on. Because of your blindness, you let a pharisee into the White House who promised you the moon and spoke to you of hearing God in his ear. He called himself a Christian and you Believed him! He has gotten us into an illegal war that has killed THOUSANDS of innocent people, which includes the sweet innocent CHILDREN you claim to care so deeply about. Some of those children that have survived have deep psychological and emotional wounds from this ungodly war. You claim to care about fetuses, but do you care at all about the children that are living in this hell called Iraq? No, you don’t care or even think about them. You are determined to put another one of those pharisees into the WHite House AGAIN and you rail against those of us who THINK and know that voting for more of the SAME is wrong. McCain and Palin believe in this war and want it to CONTINUE! The rest of us thinking people want this nightmare to end, but you 2 want to continue to live in ignorance and blindly follow these horrible lying warmongering people. Oh, and by the way, did you notice that YOUR president didn’t even give you any of the things you dreamed of after you handed him the priviledge of running our country into the ground! Abortion is still legal and really he doesn’t give a fig about all of you. He just wanted your vote so he could become president. You are partly responsible for electing this madman and now you want to change the head on the beast, but the body will remain the SAME. Wake up so you don’t drag the rest of us thinking people down the drain with you! As my Dad used to say, use your head for thinking instead of just a hat rack!
Posted by: Cara | October 24, 2008, 11:16 am 11:16 am
Cara – Abortion is the issue that is most important. It is the core of being a christian. If we didn’t have God fearing christians running this country then things would be much worse than they are. Obama will change this into a socialist country where muslim is allowed. Imagine what would happen to all children then. Palin is the answer to our prayers because she knows what is important. Don’t be led astray from the bible. This country was made by christians and christian values and that’s how it should stay.

Socialism will prescribe for every one where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say. It is an attack on the right to breathe freely.
No American Dream no free market no capitalism
The next step is communism.

At this point, it would completely ruin the McCain/Palin ticket and destroy Palin’s future in politics if it was revealed in her records that the child she has mercilessly exploited is not hers. Consequently, we will never see those records. She will quit politics first.

How many times do you nutballs have to be hit on the head with the truth before you actually start to use it as God intended you to? You put a pharisee in the White House. He gave you NOTHING in return. He got us into an illegal war that has cost us billions of dollars and killed and maimed thousands. He hasn’t gone after Osama Bin Laden, the real perpetrator of 9-11, instead he headed to Iraq and he said-”Bin Laden? I don’t even give him much thought”. That doesn’t bother you that he said that??? What has he accomplished? He let the perp of 9-11 go free, he has used our military to wage war in a foreign country that had nothing to do with 9-11, all those thousands of people dead and maimed for what? abortion is still legal, he has run our country into the ground financially and spiritually, and on and on. But all you so-called Christians can say is “who cares, he’s human, he made a few mistakes”. What is wrong with you people???? And you still can’t see the forest for the trees and are willing to keep going down the same route to destruction, which I wouldn’t give a damn about except for the fact that you want to take us thinking people down the drain with you! Use the brains that GOD GAVE you and really think about what is going on in the world. Stop being so selfish, only thinking about yourselves and what you want. Think about those children in Iraq. They MATTER. And if you are a TRUE CHRISTIAN you will do everything in your power to do what is right. Elect the man who will end this bloody senseless disastrous war, not the people who spout that this war is good and godly. That is just craziness! Please THINK!!!!!!

Obama says that he will only raise taxes on the people who make over $250k a year. WELL PEOPLE PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT! The people who make over $250k a year are our employers! If he raises their taxes they are going to lay off employees and cut wages to make up for their higher taxes! Some small companies and businesses will shut down! That affects us, the middle class! The unemployment rate will be higher than it is now! I ask you to please think before you vote! John McCain’s tax plan is much better!

IN ORDER FOR THEM NOT TO TURN AROUND AND ATTACK US WE NEED TO STAY IN THERE AND FINISH THIS JOB! bush had the right idea…he just let it get out of hand. mccain will fix that. but we cant just pull out. we cant leave it there in shambles…thats an open invite to ANY other terrorists to go in there, reek havoc and take over…then attack us. as for osama bin laden…clinton had THREE oppertunities where our troops had him in GUN POINT SIGHT and he said “no. hes no threat to us”…well pull your head out between your newest whores legs and LOOK NOW!!!!

Cara, You are right! We should vote for someone who will end the wars but end them in VICTORY! If Obama wins the election and he pulls our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan then the troops who have died over there will have died for nothing! I was against going to war in the first place but since we are in those wars I think we should win them and then bring our troops home in victory and not in defeat! That is the best way to honor the troops who’ve died there! John McCain will end the wars but he’ll end them in victory!

carlyonsue – get your facts right and start using your head! When did Obama say that he would pull troops out of Afghanistan? People like you can’t seem to understand that Afghanistan and Iraq are two different places, just as Bin Laden and Sadam Hussein are two different people. How can you win a war that you think was wrong in the first place??? You wrote that “since we are in those wars I think we should win them”. So you think that we should continue killing more innocent people (including children) “since we are are there”???

What’s all this with Obama’s birth record? What about McCain’s birth record? What are we gonna find out from McCain’s record that he is older than he says? For the RNC to want to see if Obama really is an “american” and to want to see who has contributed to his campaign..TRUELY PATHETIC!!

Lawsuit Filed Against Obama Claims He’s Not Eligible for the Presidency
Philip J. Berg, Esquire, of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit on Thursday seeking a Declaratory Judgement and Injunction that Barack Obama does not meet the qualifications to become President of the United States. In the lawsuit Berg alleges that Obama is not eligible for the presidency because he is not a naturalized citizen, and/or lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia, and/or has duel citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia.
Berg said that he has filed the suit on behalf of the Democratic Party and citizens of the United States for their best interests. Berg, an attorney with offices in Montgomery County, PA and an active practice in Philadelphia, filed the lawsuit, Berg vs. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083, in Federal Court.
In the filing Berg says:
There have been numerous questions raised about Obama’s background with no satisfactory answers. The questions that I have addressed include, but are not limited to:
1. Where was Obama born? Hawaii; an island off of Hawaii; Kenya; Canada; or ?
2. Was he a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia and/or Canada?
3. What was the early childhood of Obama in Hawaii; in Kenya; in Indonesia when he was adopted; and later, back to Hawaii?
4. An explanation as to the various names utilized by Obama that include: Barack Hussein Obama; Barry Soetoro; Barry Obama; Barack Dunham; and Barry Dunham.
5. Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names other than Barack Hussein Obama, a blatant lie.
If Obama can prove U.S. citizenship, we still have the issue of muti-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegance to other countries.
Berg goes on to make very direct accusations against Obama, stating that he “lied and cheated his way into a fraudulent candidacy and cheated legitimately eligible natural born citizens from competing in a fair process.”
Interestingly, Obama isn’t the only one who’s citizenship has been questioned in this election. John McCain’s citizenship was also questioned because he was born on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone, which is not a US territory.
The full court filings and claims can be found at ObamaCrimes.com, Berg’s website. Philip J. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, former candidate for Govenor and US Senate in Democratic Primaries, former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County, and former member of the Democratic State Commitee.
This filing comes less than two weeks after an AP photo was revealed of the school register of a child then known as Barry Soetoro, now known as Barack Hussein Obama, whose citizenship was listed as “Indonesian” and whose religion was listed as “Islam.” the photo strongly contradicts the Obama camp’s claim that he was not a Muslim, and is said to confirm he is a national of at least one other country. The AP has confirmed the authenticity of the photograph.

Palin doesn’t want the world to know that TRIG is not her child but her daughters. Look at Palin’s photos at supposedly 8 months pregnant. And, why after her water broke, would she first fly to Anchorage from Houston, TX and then instead of going to a hospital in Anchorage, head to an out of the way clinic near Wasilla?! That’s where her daughter was delivering the baby. When a woman has already had 4 children, labor is usually quick.

Bzzzt…this one is for you and the rest of the “sheep” that follow “God’s Gift to America” as Bella Pelosi refers to Big 0!
BOZO- you must be really as naive as That One, if you believe that background investigations ever end. If Obama is elected President and the
“s–t hits the fan”, oh well…that’s what “impeachments” of Presidents in Office are for!
***********
Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation
October 10, 2008
A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.
He doesn’t know how right he is.
Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter. His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.
There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayers felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.
Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.
Let’s not forget about Sen. Obama’s pastor and mentor for 20 years, America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When first questioned about his membership in Wright’s black theology church, Sen. Obama first denied knowing Rev. Wright harbored such negative feelings about the U.S., but after being further pressed, he dismissed the reverend’s conduct as like a “crazy uncle” who lived in the basement. He finally decided that he couldn’t politically afford to stay in the church, and dropped his membership.
To keep job applicants honest, many government agencies such as DEA, FBI, CIA and others require them to take a polygraph examination. Do you think Sen. Obama could pass a polygraph when he approves an ad that mocks Sen. John McCain for being unable to send e-mails without mentioning his poorly mended broken arms while in custody of the North Vietnamese which prevents him from manipulating the computer keyboard? He’s not computer illiterate, he’s handicapped!
Would you want a police officer in your city associating with such people? Not likely. But Obama supporters ignore these associations because they are desperate for a Democrat in the White House.
A federal government full-field background investigation would also look for prior inconsistencies, exaggerations and outright lies on an application for employment.
I once conducted a background check for an applicant to become a secretary for DEA. She had previously worked for a large police department as a secretary, and left the job to have a child. She was ready to re-enter the workforce and wanted to work for DEA. She seemed perfect for the job until the background investigation revealed that she lied on her application. She claimed to have 30-semester hours of college in office management, when in reality she attended one day of one class and then dropped out. The fact that she lied was sufficient justification to consider her application no further. After all, if she would lie about that, what else has she lied about? Obviously the woman lacked integrity, which is a vital qualification for any position within the federal government, even a DEA secretary who would have access to all investigative reports.
I’d like to conduct Sen. Obama’s background investigation. I’d review his application for the Illinois state bar and see if he mentioned the drug usage that he disclosed in one of his books. If the question about drugs was asked, and he denied it at the time, his integrity is immediately put into question. He revealed it in his book to float a balloon to test his potential as a viable presidential candidate. Admitting it prevented his political opponents from attacking him about it. In fact, in the eyes of many Sen. Obama supporters, using drugs enhances his resume. It’s something they can relate to.
Personally I like my presidents to not associate with known criminals, be drug-free for a lifetime, have unquestioned integrity and be able to pass a simple background investigation.

GUPTA: In May, the Obama campaign released a statement from his doctor of 21 years. It was a one-page summary of his medical records.
Here’s what it said, “Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical check ups and various minor problems like upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”
Dr. Ellis says there is no reason to doubt the official statement.

i think her health records are clear. They just want to build up the excitement and bring on negative allegations from the other side, so when they release the records, it will be used by Republicans as a proof that the rest of the allegations were wrong too, and buy in sympathy from undecided voters. Just like when they brought down the expectations before the debate to give her a passing grade as long as she didn’t screw up not if she did answer questions or not. So drop it, who cares if Trig is Palin’s or her daughters, or if she is sick or not, or if she had abortion. Really, these are her personal matters, her health records will not change our economy. Let’s focus on the real issues, like economy, her lack of knowledge regarding constitution, her bad judgment for bridge to nowhere; there are so many examples that we don’t need to go down the path with them. She is done. Obama is winning. Let’s not give this lady any more attention.

Posted by: Curiostiy Seeker | October 24, 2008, 9:44 pm 9:44 pm
There are only two reasons I could really think of that she wouldn’t want to release her records one is that what everyone was saying about Trig not being hers is true (considering the shady facts surrounding her pregnancy and her daughter leaving school) or she had an abortion.
As far as Barack’s birth certificate, he has released it and every news organization looked at it and confirmed it was legit and he was born in Hawaii. Seriously if it had the hint of not being real don’t you know Faux News would be all over it day and night!! People really need to pay attention to the news.
Posted by: Meg | October 25, 2008, 1:26 am 1:26 am
I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again. You Sarah Palin haters are going to feel stupid when her medical records are released and there’s nothing there for you to gossip about! If her medical records show that she did indeed give birth to all five of her children and has never had a std or any abortions and was born completely female and not a hermaphrodite or any of the other ridiculous things that you’ve been saying about her, you are going to feel stupid and hopefully ashamed of yourselves! You should be! You should also publicly apologize online because that’s where you’ve made your stupid and slanderous remarks! And another thing! Trig was born in April. He is six months old. Bristol’s baby is due in December. There is no way on this earth that she could have a baby in April and have another full term baby in December of the same year! It can’t be done!It takes nine months to carry a child to full term. Even IF she got pregnant immediately after having him her next baby wouldn’t be due until at least in January at the earliest! Use your head and think about it people and stop these stupid slanderous remarks that have no basis or foundation except in your demented imaginations! If Bristol’s baby is due in December then there is no way on earth that Trig could be her child! And it’s none of your business if he were her child! That is a private Palin family matter!
Posted by: carlyonsue | October 25, 2008, 3:28 am 3:28 am
If her health records are so perfect, what is the big deal in making them available.
Perhaps they will show that she had a hysterectomy after the birth of Piper and therefore blow the whole Trig thing out of the water.
It does appear as if there is something in those records that she does not want the rest of the world to know, something that she has lied about.
Posted by: Sandra | October 25, 2008, 9:04 am 9:04 am

It IS our business if Trig is not her child. It would be one thing if Palin publicly announced that she would take on Trig as her own child so Bristol could get through school, etc. However, for a public leader to fake a pregnancy is despicable and inexcusable. If someone were to lie about that, then how could we trust them on any issue?
I don’t really believe that Trig is Bristol’s, but how can you say that it wouldn’t matter if Palin faked a pregnancy?
Posted by: Mary | October 25, 2008, 10:26 am 10:26 am
I thought it very interesting that Greta (Fox TV) immediately began the poll question – Should Sarah Palin have to reveal (the female history portion) of her med. records?
The circumstances and account of Trig’s birth are exceedingly strange. The request all along across the internet for credible proof concerning Trig’s birth certificate was dismissed as ‘out-of-bounds’. But it’s NOT, b/c of Palin’s wish to impose her Anti-Choice agenda on American Women. As the rumors spread all over the web, the only thing McCain/Palin could think to do is throw Bristol Palin under the bus as an answer that was not a real answer.
Very Fishy.
Posted by: Kathy | October 25, 2008, 11:09 am 11:09 am
Can anyone forget the tumultuous applause during Palin’s convention speech when she talked of making the decision not to abort Trig, even after they knew he would be a special needs child? And how she parades around the stage, holding Trig high in front of her in his matching parka, to please the crowds? If it’s not her baby and there was no amniocentesis and no decision not to abort…….do any of you, right or left, think that it is none of the American people’s business? If it’s true that Trig is not hers, Palin is a monster. The evidence points to the whole thing being a hoax. Don’t we have the right to know?
Her quote on the medical records included: “I’ve had five children; that will be in the records.” Why reference the children? Why not refer to major illnesses or something? It just adds to the speculation.
Let’s see those records…..
Posted by: maggie may | October 25, 2008, 11:27 am 11:27 am
There is just one more thing that I’m going to say. I said in my last message that you Sarah Palin haters will have to apologize if her medical records are clear and don’t reflect any of the ridiculous things that you’ve been saying about her. You won’t apologize though! It takes a real man or a real woman to admit when they’re wrong and to apologize! You are not that big! You’ll just say that her records have been changed or “doctored” and you’ll just go ahead and make your ugly slanderous remarks just as you always have! That’s the kind of filthy minded small people you are!

You’re wrong. If it is proven that Trig is Sarah Palin’s baby, I will be the first to apologize. I’ll bet others will as well. We’re reasonable people; that’s why we’re for a candidate like Obama. It’s not like we were Sean Hannity or something…..

Trig is Sarah’s baby. Statistically for Bristol to have had a Down Syndrome baby would not be as likely as her aging mother. I’m not sure why she’s delaying the realease of her records but it’s not because of Trig.
Posted by: Alaskan Girl | October 25, 2008, 11:06 pm 11:06 pm
Alaskan Girl:
Check the stats. There are more Down Syndrome babies born to 16 y/o’s than 44 y/o’s. That’s because there are more babies born to 16 y/o’s. Statistically, you’re right. It’s a higher % to 44 y/o’s. But it’s not impossible for a 16 y/o. Just more unlikely. If you’re looking at the odds, what are the odds that a family practice physician told a 44 y/o mother of a premature high risk baby to travel 11 hours on an airplane after her water broke. I think you’ll find that the stats for a 16 y/o mother of a Down’s Syndrome baby are much higher, especialy since the odds on the travel scenario are zero.

Sarah Palin is fully aware of the allegations regarding Trig – to close the book on the issue, she could have easily provided evidence to the public through medical records and/or official birth records. Why hasn’t that happened? Because she believes its really no one’s business? That may be true, but when someone is running for high office, eradicating as many false allegations as possible, as early as possible I would think would be the prudent way to go.

Yup, Trig must be Bristol’s kid alright.
Posted by: Augusta | October 26, 2008, 9:02 pm 9:02 pm
Lisa have you considered that she might be having trouble getting her medical records? They are not that easy to get. Sometimes it can take weeks or even few months to get them all. Sometimes you have to keep calling the doctor’s office and keep after them and keep on their case to get them to send your records to you.

Augusta: You need to learn to count to nine! Trig was born April 18. Bristol’s baby is due in December. That’s only 8 months later. It takes 9 months to carry a baby to full term. If Trig were Bristol’s baby then her next baby would not be due until the last of January at the earliest!
Posted by: carlyonsue | October 26, 2008, 10:22 pm 10:22 pm
Augusta,
Bristol Palin has not been spotted since the convention. Does anyone believe that the announcement that she was pregnant, the announcement that squashed the Trig rumor, was true? If she’s pregnant, which I doubt, she was not 5 months pregnant at the convention.
Carlyonsue:
Sorry. Wrong. All Palin had to do was cross the street to the clinic wherein her doctor practiced and pick up the records. She could have signed a release and had one of the 500 McCain attorneys trying to block Troopergate do it for her. It’s a no-brainer. People transfer medical records on a same day basis all the time, when it’s necessary. When it’s necessary to cover up a pregnancy that didn’t happen, it very likely takes longer.

Maggie Mae: If you are the kind of person that you should be you will publicly apologize online for the comments that you’ve made about Sarah Palin and Bristol when Sarah’s medical records come out and show that she is indeed Trig’s mother. You probably won’t, though. You’ll be one of the people that I mentioned in my other message. You won’t be big enough to admit that you were wrong and apologize. You’ll claim that her records have been changed or “doctored” and you’ll just go ahead and make your ugly slanderous remarks just like you always have. You’re just like the rest of the Sarah Palin haters. You won’t admit when you’re wrong.
Posted by: carlyonsue | October 27, 2008, 4:42 pm 4:42 pm
Maggie May,
You are quite correct. The RNC paid $32,000 for a Hollywood make-up artist to do Palin’s make-up for two weeks. It is quite obvious that they could pay $100 for an overnight fed-ex delivery of all pertinent materials. She announced that she would release the records on Wednesday. They should have been released by Friday. It is now Monday night.
We can well imagine that something is very wrong with the medical records and there is possibly a big debate going on between dozens of republican lawyer-strategists about what medical records to release.
Releasing too much could sink the campaign. Releasing too little will raise the level of speculation so that it finally enters the mainstream media. That will also sink the campaign.
Please note that while Obama’s doctor gave a one page summary of his medical records along with his most recent tests, Palin cannot do the same thing. There was never any serious questions about Obama’s health, on the other hand there have been serious questions raised about her last pregnancy and if it was real. If the one page summary is not by the doctor who delivered the baby, Dr. Cathy Baldwin Johnson, that is going to really fuel the rumors that Trig is not her biological son.
I personally believe that the doctor is an honest person who is now refusing to go along with the deception.

It’s a good thing that these blogs are reasonably secure and we don’t use our full or real names on here. If Sarah Palin knew who most of you are she would have grounds to sue you for slander!
Posted by: carlyonsue | October 27, 2008, 9:33 pm 9:33 pm
If Palin had nothing to hide, she would have released records weeks ago. It would not have become a negative issue,
if she had. What she is hiding,is the real issue. That she is waiting as long as possible, and possibly never, certainly shows there is something that she thinks will hurt her. She is a seemingly healthy 44 year old. younger than all three of the other candiates. This should be a major concern to voters. It doesn’t seem as if it could be health related, so what is it?
Posted by: elizabeth | October 28, 2008, 9:43 am 9:43 am
It’s Tuesday, Oct 28 and still no medical records from Sarah Palin. What is she hiding?
Posted by: jimmy dean | October 28, 2008, 2:02 pm 2:02 pm
elizabeth, I agree with your posts. I think Palin’s records will show that she in fact did not have a baby this year. I also agree that Trig is Bristol’s baby. All you have to do is watch how the baby reacts to Palin and how he reacts to Bristol. Bristol is Trig’s mother, no doubt.
Posted by: jimmy dean | October 28, 2008, 2:08 pm 2:08 pm
The fact of the matter is this: There are 7 days left, she said she would release them on the 22nd. What’s the hold up? Now we are looking at electing her to the office as Vice President without any knowledge of her health background. Hmm…I wonder what the Statistics are on this? How many Vice Presidents have been elected without disclosing their Medical Records???? Can somebody take a look at this? Or nevermind, let Sarah answer it. It mind sound similar to how many Vice Presidents have never met any Foreign Leaders before taking office! Answer: BullS*@t!!!!

Palin’s campaign promised to release the Governor’s medical records EARLY this week, the week is half over, and only 6 days remain before the election. Please question why they haven’t kept their promise, and pin them down when the records will be released.
I would refuse any free airtime until the campaign keeps this promise.
Thank You.

Re: Senator Obama, although he WAS born in the US, it is not a qualification for becoming senator or president…In order to become senator, he must be 30yrs old and be a US citizen for at least the past 9 yrs. I know some people who were born in the US and they certainly are lacking in patriatism and intelligence, too.

Spokeswoman Maria Comella told ABC News on Thursday: “When medical information related to Governor Palin’s health is ready to be released we will make that information available.”
Ready? For what? To be doctored? No PUN intended… Do they need to pull some strings first to make it look non-incriminating? What’s the deal?…
Posted by: Brad | October 30, 2008, 12:29 pm 12:29 pm
McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden, they all are people who love this country and make it better for eveyone. Stick to the issues and stop trying to destroy them and their families. If you did your homework…you would know that McCain was born in Panama….does that make him any less American. NO! Obama was born in Hawaii. Whoopdedo! If you care about his country, you’ll stick to the issues and make your decision based on what they can do best for the country. Period!

No medical records because the way I hear it is that Palin has a long history of treatment for Bipolar disorder.

For someone who has said many times that she is willing to release her medical records, she surely is dragging her feet. It sounds to me as though she has something to hide…past mental treatments? perhaps an abortion? If it doesn’t smell good, it isn’t good !!!!

I don’t think there will be anything surprising on her records.
She doesn’t think she needs to release them, so she is balking. She’s a diva – she lives by her own rules. She’s a ticking time bomb and time will reveal the real Sarah Palin.

Posted by: mark | November 1, 2008, 12:23 pm 12:23 pm
Fact: there are 4 candidates, 3 have released medical records. What do college transcripts, birth certificates, and shoe size have to do with this point? Do Palin’s supports not understand that McCain is old. If he dies, she is president. Do citizens voting in this election not have a right to know how healthy or unhealthy the president (or possible future president) is? This is insane that there is even a discussion of this. Medical records are always released. If someone has a problem with what is in or not in them, this is another issue. Here is a woman who has not and will not release her medical records. The rules on this one issue do not apply to her and this is strange and disturbing.

OBAMA is tied to some of the most radical anarchist/marxist radicals in Chicago and you are worried about Palin’s uterus?

Trig is Sarah’s baby. I know this for a fact for many different reasons. I live in Wasilla Alaska. I have no doubt her records will be released soon, probably in hours. As for Obama, he was NOT born in the United States, and is running illegally. So you will never see his birth certificate. We have a seriously corrupt system.

Health care, everyone’s talking about it. But is anyone doing anything about it? The first step to heath care is your medical history and your medical records. Where are your medical records? What’s your medical history? Well now the first step to your heath care is now being taking care of with the MedeFile Card. My name is Alex Papas the creator and the developer of the prepaid phone card in the United States. I have just created a new medical breakthrough called The MedeFile Card. The MedeFile Card is a centralized, confidential electronic portfolio that gives you 24/7 access to your medical history So no more wasting time and filling out paperwork every time you go to see the doctor or go to the hospital. Imagine that you or your parent or child has suddenly become ill. They are in a place where no one knows them, their blood type, what medications they are on, or what allergies they have. Quick decisions could mean the difference between life and death. Each year the lack of accurate medical information or the wrong information takes a terrible toll. With MedeFile you can be better prepared with vital information should such an emergency arise. Your Medical records are going Green. I’m donating $100 million dollars in Medefile Cards to companies all over the world to give to there employees and there families. So No more talking about what we are doing about heath care we are doing something about it now! For more info go to http://www.medefilecard.com or call Alex Papas at 954 729 8888

From what I’ve heard she DID have an abortion and she wants to cover it up to protect her “family values” persona. I don’t know about the question of whether she carried her daughter’s baby to term secretly, but I’m sure the abortion story is true. You can quote me.
Posted by: Nana Yanapoulous | November 3, 2008, 8:15 pm 8:15 pm
My gut instinct is that a) The records, as they now stand, will prove that Sarah did not have a baby this year. And, b) They may be being doctored (no pun intended) as we speak.
