Palin’s Family Physician Says She’s in “Excellent Health”
ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala and Kate Snow report: Gov. Sarah Palin’s personal family physician says she is in excellent health and “has no known health problems that would interfere with her ability to carry out the duties and obligations of Vice President of the United States of America.”
Late on the eve of the election, the McCain-Palin campaign released a brief two-page letter from Dr. Cathy Gladwin Johnson, a family physician affiliated with the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center near the Governor’s home in Wasilla, Alaska.
Dr. Gladwin Johnson says Palin has been a patient at her clinic since 1991. It was not immediately clear if Gov. Palin receives all of her medical care at the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. The letter says her visits were “related to routine women’s health care and pregnancy.”
“Governor Palin has had no major medical problems. Her hospitalizations have been for childbirth,” Gladwin Johnson writes. “She is physically fit with a regular exercise regimen. At the time of her most recent medical evaluation, she continued to be in good health and was recovering well from the birth of her last child, Trig.”
Gov. Palin delivered her first four children at full term, according to the letter—in 1989, 1990, 1994 and 2000.
A paragraph is devoted to the birth earlier this year of Gov. Palin’s fifth child, Trig, who was born with Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome. Trig was born at 35 weeks.
“At the time of her most recent pregnancy, Governor Palin had no health risk factors other than her age,” the letter reads. “Routine prenatal testing early in the second trimester showed evidence of Trisomy 21, which was confirmed by perinatology consultation and amniocentesis. She followed the normal and recommended schedule for prenatal care, including follow-up perinatology evaluations to ensure there was no significant congenital heart disease or other conditions of the baby that would preclude delivery at her home community hospital. This child, Trig, was born at 35 weeks in good health.”
Gladwin Johnson says Trig had some minor problems with jaundice but was able to go home at two days of age with his mother.
She notes that at the time of Trig’s last office visit, he was growing and developing normally for a child with Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.
In 1992, the letter notes that Gov. Palin had a breast biopsy for what turned out to be a benign lesion.
Gladwin Johnson says the Palins vital signs have been normal and she has not had any electrocardiogram or liver enzyme panels performed because she is a healthy young woman with “no risk factors.”
“Additionally, Governor Palin’s family medical history includes no first degree relatives with major medical problems,” Dr. Gladwin Johnson writes.
She also noted that Gov. Palin was not taking any routine prescription drugs.
Gov. Palin had said twelve days ago that she would be fine with releasing her medical records.
Gov. Palin was flying to Reno, Nevada at the time of the release of the letter and neither she nor her staff discussed the document with reporters on her campaign plane.
ABC News medical contributor, Dr. Tim Johnson, read the letter and said: “Assuming they left nothing important out in her summary, Palin appears to be in very good health – takes no medication, has never been hospitalized other than for births, her blood pressure and pulse (the only two numbers given) are very normal.”
“In short,” ABC’s Dr. Johnson said, “Her health would appear to be a non-issue, which makes you wonder why they waited until the literal last minute to release the information.”

Just speculation on my part of course, but I’d say the reason they waited until the last minute was that it took a while for Palin to come around after the whole Trig, Bristol thing back in September. I have no idea what her thinking on it actually was/is of course, but I would imagine it went something along the lines of: “Screw you people. Mess with my kids and then you want to see my pap smears and ultrasounds? I don’t think so.” Perhaps I’m just projecting what my feelings would have been on the matter (I have the luxury of those feelings, however, since I’m not running for major public office).

This should just burn you Palin haters up! It is just as I’ve always said! She’s in perfect health and she’s the mother of all five children! I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO! I – TOLD – YOU – SO!Maybe now you’ll SHUT UP and stop your ridiculous accusations and lies! Trig is her son and she hasn’t had a sex change or any of the other stupid things you’ve been saying!

Diksville Notch has voted Republican in every election since 1968!!!
Hart’s Location the second place in America to vote went for Obama as well!!!
In Hart’s Location the vote count was 17 Obama 10 McCain!!! This little town in New Hampshire always votes Republican as well!
A real bad omen for your side!!!!
I smell a LANDSLIDE!!!!!
THROW THE REPUBLICAN BUMS OUT!!
OBAMA/BIDEN = LANDSLIDE TOMORROW!!!!

Palin’s problem is rather mental. She won’t be heatlhy long with all that hate and negative thinking that she displays everytime she opens her mouth. We need people who can create bridges not divisions during this important historial and difficult moment we go through.
Posted by: Vercors | November 4, 2008, 1:16 am 1:16 am
Yes, we have a report from her Dr. that indicates she is very healthy “Physically.”
Bring on the Psyche reports.
Posted by: RosaritoBjaCa | November 4, 2008, 1:19 am 1:19 am
Her doctor forgot the following facts?
- no evidence of a brain
- hasn’t had a kid in many years
- had an abortion once (or twice)
- pathological liar/emotional problems
- believes in witches
- believes the bridge to nowhere is the McCain campaign theme
- Thinks she is important enough for Sarkozy to call, lol
- Abuses power without a conscience
- Thinks abstinence education has worked in her own family
LOL

It was announced tonight that Sarah was cleared of all charges in the second investigation of “Troopergate” too!Hopefully all of this information wasn’t released too late to help the McCain campaign! It should have been released weeks ago! It might have saved Sarah Palin from being the victim of many insults and criticism if it had been released earlier!
Posted by: carlyonsue | November 4, 2008, 1:22 am 1:22 am
Carolyn Sue, why attack the people who were wondering why Palin didn’t release this info sooner. Seems kind of stupid to me, as holding back started rumors (understandably), whereas release it would have put all doubts to rest. For my part, it never even occured to me that her health might be an issue until they held back on releasing the records. And you certainly can’t blame the timing on Obama supporters. They don’t decide when she is going to release her own info. As for who won or lost “the battle”, I guess we’ll find that one out tomorrow night.

I just wish they had released this information a week ago!
===================
Seems odd they didn’t. Very strange indeed.
It took a week and a half to get a note from a doctor?
You would think a Vice Presidential candidate would be able to get that done in a matter of hours.
Very strange they had to stall for so long. Then released the info the night beofre the election.
Guess her doctor thought it was ok to be flying from Dallas to Alaska while going into labor. Again, odd call for a doctor.

Oh yes.
She was cleared by the people she hired, the people who report to her, and the people who she can fire once she returns to her job in Alaska.
There’s an “impatial” decision.

You dumb republicans. Palin Herself said that there is something in her records that may be used against her in the election.
SO
She IS hiding something!! Palin even said it. Why would she say that if she was fine?
SHE IS STILL HIDDING SOMETHING… DUH

femalevoter: I’m going to tell you the same thing that I told fse. Give it up! You lost this battle! She’s perfectly healthy and none of the stupid things that all of you have been saying are true! Also there is no mention in the report of any abortions! You have no proof of that one either! That is just a lie that all of you Palin haters made up in your demented sick and insane minds! Now we know the truth, though, so accept it and SHUT YOUR LYING MOUTHS!

Palin seems to have needlessly put Trig’s life at risk thrice. First by having an amniocentesis (which, most people who are absolutely sure they will not have an abortion no matter what would not risk) and then by taking not just one, but TWO long plane flights days before giving birth. The 1st flight may have caused her amniotic fluid to start leaking – bad enough, yet the real whopper is that even so, she still took a 2nd one back home without seeing an MD (see the 09/08/08 report at http://www.DallasNews.com – which is a paper that backs McCain). Such reckless acts suggest she did not care if her unborn child died (also see http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/10/still-no-palin.html).
Posted by: JustSayNoToSarah | November 4, 2008, 1:40 am 1:40 am
It’s clear she didn’t want her medical records released because she’s been diagnosed as one crazy a-hole. That would have been devastating for the campaign. It will be interesting to see how McCain, the apologist, wafts through some of the horrifically damaging things she’s been fed to say about Obama. May this country PLEASE begin to heal. And may Sarah Palin return to Alaska, and never be heard from again, except by the Alaskans that might just eat her alive.
Posted by: Brad | November 4, 2008, 1:41 am 1:41 am
Yes I believe Obama will bring people in America together. (Proud Obama supporter)
Unfortunately I feel the outcome of this election will definately divide this country. We have supported our picks for presidency so strongly that we developed hate for their opponents.
I’m kind of afraid to find out the outcome because there is going to be some very angry and dissapointed Americans on the Nov 5. Unfortunately, there may be some acts of violence.
Although both Obama and McCain is far stretch from perfect, I think they both are phenomenal leaders and I just pray that whoever wins this election, they make the right decisions for this country.

Carly: Have your opinion, but it’s just ugly to tell people to shut up. Palin took a long time to get this medical report out – she left it literally until the last minute. I think that speaks to her lack of organisational skills, general incomptence and contempt for due process. And I’m not lying. And I wont Shut Up.
Posted by: chester burns | November 4, 2008, 1:43 am 1:43 am
Of course she’s in good health; we could tell she’s fine by how VIVACIOUS and PERKY she is! And who cares if Trig is her baby or not?
I want to see her MENTAL HEALTH REPORT to find out which combination of severe personality disorders she is afflicted with!!! That’s the only report that counts!

All of you Palin haters who have been making all of the stupid and crazy remarks saying that Trig isn’t her baby and saying that she’s had a sex change and saying that she has a std and all of the other insane and ridiculous things that you’ve been saying, should now apologize publicly online! You were wrong! You said a lot of horrible things that you shouldn’t have said and were not true! You should now be big enough to admit it and apologize because you did wrong! You owe Sarah and the world an apology!

THAT is the real issue here. I for one never said she wasn’t physically healthy or that Trig wasn’t her baby. SHE’s just NUTS, that’s all.

According to the book of Revelation, the anti-Christ: will be a man in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will come out of nowhere, decieve the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….. the prophesy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA? I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT AND SEND THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO VOTE. THE BOOK OF REVELATION SAYS THAT THE BEAST WILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE AUTHORITY APPROX 42 months (in ch 13) Thats almost a 4 year presidency term. Lord have mercy on us!

Sorry carlyonsue, but a two-page letter from her family doc is not the same as her medical records, especially when it’s phrased in such a noncommittal manner.
There’s gotta be a reason she won’t release her actual medical records. I still think she has or had an std. That’s not a major medical condition, of course, but it’s still embarrassing to her more prudish supporters.
Posted by: fse | November 4, 2008, 2:03 am 2:03 am
Hey Chris, where in Revelations does it mention any of those things? You must be thinking of Nostradamus. Typical Republican who like to quote the Bible erroneously. I bet you love Ephesians which mentions slavery. Except, Christ preached love for all.
Jesus did warn against false teachers like you Chris who would falsely quote ‘scripture’. The anti christ may well be George Bush and republicans like you might just be clinging to your guns and false religion.

Chris has been reading SPAM e-mails and taking them on ‘blind faith’, which seems to be an impairment of the far right. This one has been going around for so long it’s even been debunked on snopes. Chris, do yourself a favor and step into reality.. the weather is great and you might actually enjoy it.

Nothing in the Bible -in Revelation or elsewhere – describes the anti-Christ as being “a man, in his 40′s, of Muslim descent.” In fact, since the book of Revelation was completed by the end of the second century, but the religion of Islam wasn’t founded until about four hundred years later, the notion that Revelation would have mentioned a “Muslim” at all is rather far-fetched. (And even if it did, it couldn’t be construed as a reference to Barack Obama, since Senator Obama isn’t a Muslim.)

The doctor is Cathy Baldwin-Johnson, not Gladwin and we call her CBJ around here. She is very ethical and a real pro. The summary is pretty brief and I too wonder about mental health.
Posted by: bwoodin | November 4, 2008, 2:21 am 2:21 am
– You might as well admit it! You’ve lost this battle! –
Framing the questioning of medical records in terms of winning or losing a battle seems to be appropriate for the far right. Such a ‘you are with me or against me’ attitude so proudly espoused by Bush and McCain is a sign of a simple mind unable to deal with complex situations. The world is a myriad of conflicting viewpoints, and not all are mutually exclusive. Obama has a unique ability to see this simple truth, and able to consider all viewpoints giving them equal weight when framing his opinions and actions. That is the sign of a true leader.
Carlyonsue would make a perfect poster child for the intolerant and simple minded citizens of this world, and her fervent support of Palin is a sad example of how low many peoples expectations have become for our leaders. Typical of what got us 8 years of a woefully uneducated and knee-jerk reactionary president that has drove this great country into the ground.
Fortunately, tomorrow when the election results are tallied, it will be a victory for all Americans. And in January, we can begin the healing process for our great country with Obama and Biden leading the charge.
Posted by: Concerned American | November 4, 2008, 2:26 am 2:26 am
This election is about the economy and the republicans refuse to enter that dialogue. They prefer their hate filled attacks on a person’s integrity because that is what small minded people do. To McCain’s credit, he has generally avoided the personal but the same cannot be said of Palin. She probably deserves the noteriety she has got. She is really infamous now because she has blown hot air with no substance all campaign

“Over the past 17 years, Governor Palin is in very good health”. Why that line? Why specifically 17 years? Is that what took so long – to try and remove that line? We all know she joined the Assembly of God around that time and had child births. Was there an abortion before that? And there is no mention of mental health – something that many are concerned given her unusual public performances.
Posted by: jonathanw | November 4, 2008, 3:50 am 3:50 am
Palin’s people were probably in no hurry because they knew what would happen…and it did. This article states Palin’s personal informaion in detail…where were the detailed reports of the other candidate’s personal health information? I don’t think the details are ANYBODY’s business. Medical records are supposed to be confidential.

I support the Obama/Biden ticket, but I seriously hope this will cut down on the digs that Palin gets. I do not feel she is ready to by VP, but I don’t think she should be insulted the way she has been. Of course I feel the same way about the insults going the other way too…

Ok, I’m still not satisfied. Every other candidate released “medical records” not a note from their doctor. A note from my physician would not be considered my “medical records” were I to change physicians, would it? A new doctor would want my complete records not just a note. This is rediculous and will only cause further speculation, which she will claim is the bias of the “elite media” or whatever BS she is terming public vetting these days. I for one am still wondering what the compete records might contain. By this time tomorrow, hopefully, I won’t care!

One more thing: I also considered the amnio to be an odd procedure for a woman that wouldn’t consider abortion under any circumstances. Then there is the fact that she didn’t tell anyone, not even her own parents that she was pregnant until she was 7 months along. That is really odd for such a maverick transparent woman. Why wasn’t she proud of her pregnancy? Her choice of life from the begining? Just more questions that we may never know the answer to.
My guess on her mental condition: Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It explains everything that we’re all wondering about.

If you don’t apologize to Sarah for saying that Trig isn’t her child and all of the other horrible things that said about her, then you will prove me right about what I said in one of my other messages in one of the other blogs about her medical records. I said that if her medical records were clear and didn’t contain any of the stupid things that you’ve accused her of, you wouldn’t be big enough to admit you were wrong and to apologize for what you said. I also said that you’d probably say that her medical records have been changed or “doctored” and that you’d just go right on saying your insults and making your stupid accusations just like you always have!

Why did Palin wait so long to release her records?
By leaving it so late, she has only made herself look bad.
If nothing else, it shows bad judgement in the timing of it when election results are now coming through.
She has left it too late for the report to make any serious impact.
As for Troopergate – the panel that cleared her is appointed by her. She has the power to fire them all. One can hardly call it independent or unbiased.

Even that panel said she was wrong to delete old e-mails that may have contained important evidence and they still had issues about private e-mail accounts.
So even that panel did not completely clear her.
This still makes her look bad, if only a little less so. This lack of judgement is going to cost the McCain campaign the election.
2 election results have now come in.
Obama has won them both.
Diksville Notch New Hampshire
Obama 15
McCain 6

17 Obama
10 McCain
Both of these places are traditionally Republican and have been for decades.
That does not bode well for McCain.

As soon as she could raise enough money to pay the doctor to fudge the truth, then they were able to release the (falsfied) report.
Posted by: Julie | November 4, 2008, 5:24 am 5:24 am
Did you people just take stupid pills or something? Of course she has something to hide! They had to get someone to “admit” that there’s nothig wrong and that she is actually the mother of five children . . . which we all know is not true. If this were true, there would have been no scrambling to gather together her medical records. If she recently had a baby, her medical records would be readily available! I guess you’ve all forgotten that even her closest staff were surprised when she announced that she was going on maternity leave! They admitted that they didn’t even know she was pregnant! Wake up . . . like I did! After all I’ve seen and heard, I cannot bring myself to vote for my own party! Enough is enough. I’ve voting for Barack Obama!

Carly~ The first panel was independent, the second panel was the group that she insisted was the proper channel for such issues and yes, they just happen to be Governer appointed and they will all have to answer to her at some point. Perhaps you haven’t heard of factcheck. It’s very easy to fact check your arguements and save yourself future embarassment.

Lisa is right, she cant have problems in the brain she dont have one, or if she has it is complete full of botox, she suffer of “botox overdose”.

Admit it! You Sarah Palin haters don’t have anything left to accuse her of and it’s just burning you up! She was cleared in Troopergate and her doctor said that she’s in excellent health and she’s the mother of all five children including Trig! Also nothing was said in her doctor’s statement about a sex change or abortions or a sexually transmitted disease or any of the other ridiculous things you’ve been accusing her of. YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT ALL OF IT and IT’S JUST ABSOLUTELY BURNING YOU UP!

Thanks Lisa – at least we check our facts!
The information that the second panel was Governor appointed (one of the members was recently re-appointed by Palin herself) was announced on both Sky news in the UK and the Los Angeles Times in the US.

Palin is hiding something. Whatever she is hiding, they and she thought it would affect the outcome of public opinion of her.
That’s fine. What I do not like, is the aura of manipulation and hiding; more than a hint of being untrustworthy and manipulative in her ability to communicate effectively.

Carly~ Calm down. We haven’t seen the last of Ms. Palin. She stood up to her own party in Alaska and exposed the corruption of a fellow republican simply because she wanted his job, not because she has any morals or ethics or anything like that. And she doesn’t even have the decency to be loyal to John McCain, because she sees the writing on the wall, knows they are losing and is distancing herself from him. She isn’t going away. This type of person will use anyone to get what she wants. Everyone else is viewed as food. She is a predator. You’ll get another chance to bang the drum for her, don’t despair.

Posted by: carlyonsue | November 4, 2008, 6:02 am 6:02 am
carlyonsue,
Palin was “cleared” on Troopergate by a panel of 3 people she could fire.
The Personnel Board is not an independent body, contrary to the previous investigation, which was bi-partisan and included a majority of Republicans. THAT investigation concluded she was guilty of abusing power.
Anyone who’s willing to look at the “Troopergate” scandal objectively has to conclude that at least certain aspects of her guilt are self evident.

carlyonsue,
“Have you all seen the lastest polls? They’re tightening!”
Take a look at Reuters.com and the results of the last Zogby poll which was recently posted.
Zogby is generally very favorable to the GOP. However, their last poll before the election predicts and 11% landslide for Obama,
The Zogby result is identical the Gallup.com poll.
It’s not tightening. Quite the contrary.
Folks are seeing that Obama will win. The undecided fence sitters are scurrying over to the winning side.

Probably mental health issues.

I’d like to see DNA comparisons of Trig and the oldest daughters boyfriend. If it’s a match, Gov Palin may have a little legal explaining to do. Sex with minors is a crime. However, she can just admit she’s the grandmother.

Now I discovered something very important, the good americans, the inteligents americans they are democrats, allmost of them, sure are good republicans too, but McCain/Palin?

Constance must be a French speaker.
What she is saying is that government must be secular.
I agree. There’s no place for religion in politics.
If you want to pray, go to your church, synagogue, mosque, temple or whatever.
America is probably the best place in the world for religious freedom.
It can only stay that way if government stays out of religion and religion stays out of government.

I can’t wait till Caribou Barbie goes home to Mooseland and implodes. I never want to see this woman on the national level again. I can’t imagine how you can sit here and keep supporting some woman found guilty of this violation, that stood in public the next day saying it vindicated her. What is this? Whatever she says is absolute truth? Never mind the paper trail that suggests otherwise? I guess she could tell you anything and you’d buy it. Is it too much to ask they remotely try not to stand and LIE in public anymore? Have we lowered the bar this much?

Chris…. calm down. Geez, you need to breathe, and stop listening to crazy people. The Bible can be twisted to say anything to anyone. Stop living in fear. Lift up your eyes, for Pete’s sake. And…. my two cents – a ‘doctor’s note’ is not a medical record. McCain didn’t release a doctor’s note and neither did anyone else. Personally I don’t know why we need one from a candidate under 60 but Sarah’s probably has mental health referrals (so do a lot of people) and quite possible prescriptions for mental health medications. Make what you want of it. I’m not voting her in, but I don’t know what people want to find there.

carolynsue,
I’ll be the first to say that some of the things that were said obout Palin were a little outlandish but come on. The easiest and quickest way to dispell rumors and negative attacks is to be as forthright and upfront as soon as possible. Yes, some things said were hateful but honestly, do you HEAR her when she speaks? Do you see the way she carries herself with a fake air to herself? The best that I can say for her is that she sounds like the highschool cheerleader running for prom queen or stundent president. After two months of stumping and regurgitating the same things over and over again, she sounds as though she’s reading the teleprompter for the first time! To me that says that she doesn’t truly believe in the things that she’s saying. By now if she belived these things, it would be second nature to her and she should sound natural and flowing in her deliveries. And this prank phone call…….!?!?!?!?!?! I’m sorry but EVEN IF she couldn’t figure out that she was being pranked, did you hear the way she was talking to this guy? She sounded dumbfounded and just repeated talking points.
I’m sorry about the truly vile things that have been said about Sarah Palin BUT (and that is a huge BUT) regardless of the crazy things said about her, she is unqualified and just simply is not someone that could be trusted in a time like the one the country is in right now.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

It’s easy to have someone say your’s healthy. It’s another thing to produce your medical records. You have to wonder what she’s hiding to wait until the last minute to do something that all the other candidates have done. Was it Sarah, or Todd, that delayed the verbal report until the last minute? If anything, this medical records debacle further shows that Sarah Palin is hiding something.
Posted by: algwriter | November 4, 2008, 7:45 am 7:45 am
Sarah Palin, probably had to wait for the doctor to change her medical records! Probably had to charge the state of Alaska to pay for the fee’s to make false medical records. Does her story add up??? The date of conception July 12, 2007 due April 17, 2008. Where was she around that time? Was Todd there? Trig, today is about 7 months old. Sorry but 5 months of Mono very hard to believe unless a witch cursed her! lol
Palin is in excellent health to constantly lie to the world, covers up, and hides things.
Please vote!

I’m a fervent Obama supporter and Palin drives me nuts.
Still, I think speculation about her not being the mother of Trig is beyond the level of decency.

These aren’t medical records, it’s a self-serving statement from a paid doctor. It was released at the 11th hour to try and prevent the obvious follow-up questions such as if she’s not taking any “routine” prescription drugs then what are non-routine drugs she’s on — Thorazine, Prozac, Valium?
Posted by: Allen | November 4, 2008, 7:57 am 7:57 am
Sarah’s doctor had to perform brain surgery on her once a few years ago.
Unfortunately, a slip of the scapel took away half of her brain (or about 1 cubic centimeter).
Ever since, she’s had an uncontrollable nervous twitch of her left eye. Some people interpret that as a wink…

My better-half and I like to consider ourselves as “Independent” when it comes down to vote for someone in public office.
This year we purposely registered ourselves as “Democrats” during the Primary, so that both of us could have the chance to vote for Ms. Senator Hillary Clinton.
Well – as you know – that part is history for now.
I believe anyone signed up for public office – their record should be made public as well, so that voters could make an informed and just decision.
Ms. Governor Sarah Palin has a potential to become the President of the most powerful country of the world – I’m sure you would agree with all the Americans that her record should be examined to the Nth degree.
With that said – WINK WINK!

How will Obama invest in America and create jobs for Americans? How exactly? By bribing big businesses in his pocket with money? Whats to stop more ‘bankruptcy for profit’ from these companies. Whats to stop the big CEO’s from taking the money and using it for big bonuses for themselves and keep outsourcing? Find one piece of proof that Obama can live up to that promise. Or is the auto industry and our jobs forever doomed to cutbacks? What happens if we lose the Iraq war because of Obama. They will cut military spending on our soldiers (our family members) armor! Cut it by 25%??? To save who? Who gets that money? Obama and Barney Frank and Pelosi and a 2nd bailout? Come on! We need to win the war and take back our jobs.
OBAMA IS A CANCER ON THE USA AND WE HAVE JUST ONE CHANCE TO REMOVE HIM NOW NOV 4th. Its not like congress. We dont get a ‘do-over’ on the vote. The United States of Cuba? Just saying it makes me want to spit on the ground! OK now think hard people be rational about whats going on in the USA today. The auto industry is failing. Jobs have already left for overseas or gone to cheap labor. How will “Castrobama” put those things back. Its like trying to rebuild detroit it will never be the same. Japanese car makers are scaling back too. Ever wonder why everyone in Cuba drives an old car? They dont make them there either so they are too much money. Everyone but the government is poor. Obama claims he can get us more jobs but how? Pay off big companies to hire us? Wont they keep the money for bonuses? The guys middle name is “Hussein”. You claim to support him and be a patriot and want to help the USA? Shame on you. The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, Korea, ,Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq dont you see war with Iran coming? Who do you want in charge? Our country was based on wars for liberty, civil rights and freedom. What country are you from? I am from the USA. There arent as many jobs. Pick up a newspaper today! See how many jobs there are? Who is hiring? Its November before Christmas 2008! Wake up!!! Here are some great democrat-related words to remember. Clinton, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Edwards, Jennifer Flowers, Monica, Obama, Biden, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Congress. Think where you want the future of your country to be? Think rational about reality now today. Who is really going to help you but yourself. Not Obama.. Vote for McCain. You will be happy you did when Iran invades Israel next year or threatens them with nukes. These are the tests facing our next President. Think what the enemy will do if they think the President is weak or indecisive? Castro said he would bring change to Cuba and resdistribute wealth to the poor! Now in Cuba only the government is rich! No one else is allowed to be rich. You cant afford a new car or house and they dont make them there anymore either! Chavez, Amedinejad they all love and want to speak to Obama right away!
You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro. If no one in the USA is allowed to be rich we will ALL be poor just like in Cuba where no one can afford a new car anymore never mind a new house. He also used cocaine in his 20′s would you hire him if he said that in a job interview? If foreign investors like China and other countries see him as the ‘tax man’ they will no longer invest in America and start investing where its cheaper and more lucrative for them. When the war ends not only the soldiers will be out of work, but all the companies that supply the military will also have massive layoffs thereby hurting the economy even worse. THE COUNTRY IS AT WAR!!! THE WAR IS KEEPING THE USA ALIVE ECONOMICALLY. It employs millions and millions of workers. It generates trillions of dollars for our current economy. Its why we arent in a depression yet! Also the Dems and Barney Frank want to cut military spending by as much as 25% (but not end the war) so this would leave our troops leaving them in harms way these cuts mean they dont get the extra armor for vehicles or body armor etc. For our troops to be outgunned and under armored means we lose the war! America needs to be ready to win the war we are in and any future war. I dont see Obama as a war time leader he is more of a Jimmy Carter. I like the Halloween candy analogy ‘redistribution of wealth’ means one kid go’s out and gets all the candy but has to SHARE all the candy with his brothers and sisters (leaving him not so rich). I dont want to live in the “United States of Cuba” ask any Cuban what its like to live under Castro. Also Obama lies! He even lied about his own Aunt. If he doesnt know about his own Aunt do you want him in charge of national securty???Vote McCain!!! Do you think the terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists we are at war with will ever surrender?? They have been at war with each other for centuries!! Your childrens and their childrens future hinges on your vote. Vote for a safe USA and world! Vote McCain!

That doctor could, and probably did, put in exactly what she dictated be put in.

ABC’s Dr. Johnson said, “Her health would appear to be a non-issue, which makes you wonder why they waited until the literal last minute to release the information.” Undoubtedly, because Governor Palin’s health is a non-issue — her physician was likely busy – focused on treating other patients. Seems like you wonder a bit too much about her as opposed to some of the excellent coverage of real health reporting ABC typically does. It’s good to see you’ve hung in there however.

It’s interesting to me that Dr. Johnson said “Assuming they left nothing important out in her summary, Palin appears to be in very good health”. What a nerve. I don’t recall him making a qualification of this kind regarding the report of any other candidate. Even the medical staff at ABC is biased – I thought he was a doctor, not a political commentator.

paulie,
The real “Terrorists” are among us.
If you after all the past 8 years, you STILL haven’t figured out yet – let me give you a hint – He and his VP have being in the White House for the past 8 years and
coming January – hopefully both of them will move out of America’s public office forever!
You seemed to have great difficulty to tell right from wrong, just and unjust…etc. – ALL those common-sense stuff!
I’d like to recommend some decent education for you to take which will do you a lot of good!
GWB’s Third term?
God forbids!
Amen!

Krisg,
So, what’s your point?
She was nominated in early September. That’s two months!
Everyone knows that the nominees are expected to provide information on their health.
Palin was a relative unknown, so it was certain that even more scrutiny would be applied.
We’ve all known for years that McCain has been treated several times for one of the most dangerous forms of cancer there is. A relapse is quite possible.
Since he’s 72 years old and a cancer patient, the public should want to know as much as possible about Palin.
Personally, I could care less if she had abortions, illegitimate children or whatever other theory regarding Trig. That’s personal stuff, which should be off limits.

To all of you out there that like to bash women I am so grateful that I am not your, grandmother, mother, aunt, sister, cousin, friend, etc. Does it make you feel better? Barack Obama sure has shown his best side through his supporters, but, wait a minute, wasn’t he the one who taught you that it was okay to bash strong, independent women? What a great teacher he was! Those are the things I want my guru to teach me. Congratulations you have shown your true side!! Let us all vote for Barack Obama and the hatred he teaches in order to do what ever he has to do to win. So glad I didn’t vote for either one, but, especially BO!!!!

I never thought otherwise – I knew she was in good health – just another ploy by democrats to downplay her
Posted by: Jill | November 4, 2008, 8:32 am 8:32 am
OK, she probably is healthy but lets be honest about the data. She didn’t release ANY medical records – she got a note from her doctor. Her physician is under no obligation as to any full disclosure, in fact, the physician-patient confidentiality relationship demands that sensitive information remain private. Another half truth spun by the Palin campaign, just like she was exonerated of wrongdoing by the staff she appointed. Well, anyway, doesn’t matter, 12 more hours and this national prank will end and she can go back to obscurity.

Cathy,
When someone steps into the spotlight, they subject themselves automatically to added scrutiny. That’s a fact of life, for show-biz celebrities, sports stars and politicians.
On top of that, she immediately hit the stage slinging mud at Obama and Biden, as if that’s what she’d been doing all her live.
He who lives in a glass house should cast no stones.

Hey Palin Supporters — I have only one question – If she was in perfect health condition why did she have to wait until the EVE of election?? Apparently everything with republicans has got to do with the timings — she is cleared of troopergate just on the eve of election, she releases a medical note just on the eve of election!!! Too much of a coincidence? But then she was tooo busy attacking obama left and right!
I’m NOT a fan of obama either but there is no way on this earth that a moron like her can represent me!!! i’m a female and i think she is an embarrasement to my kind!!!

George Wallace of the American Independent Party in 1968, won 13.5 per cent of the popular vote and 46 electoral college votes.
Just history that could help defeat Obama.
Posted by: History | November 4, 2008, 8:44 am 8:44 am
Imagine if McCain picked a reasonable qualified VP candidate instead of the cynical political Palin choice. Obama should feel very fortunate that McCain and Rove underestimated women and assumed that they would blindly support gender. The country is clearly ready for a female President (or VP) but please, with all the intelligent qualified women in the country, we can wait till one of them actually runs for the office.

So the obvious question is, When do we get to see obama’s real birth certificate and when we will get biden’s entire health report – including the pages regarding his 2 anurysms? And John, we got a brief 1 page letter regarding obama’s health.
Posted by: whats good for the goose | November 4, 2008, 8:51 am 8:51 am
Reason why it took so long to get a ‘pass’ note from her doctor was that there was a lengthy negotiation between her people and her doctor to state things a certain way and scrub out anything controversial, even if it would have been more truthful to include whatever it is in her medical records that shows her up to be the hypocritical, lying, cheating so-and-so she really is.
Posted by: mr bob dobelina | November 4, 2008, 8:52 am 8:52 am
Us “Palin haters” as you reffer to us just want to know why did this take so long if there was nothign in them!? I still think they whited out something or modified a child’s birth.. and if that is the case its sad becasue neither are horrible but they are to the Religious Right.
Posted by: unkown | November 4, 2008, 8:54 am 8:54 am
It is still all too strange that they did not release this letter before. Why wait? It drew unnecessary attention to a campaign that was already being ridiculed. Once again, bad judgement on their part.

PAUL, So you support Obama and he says he refused to go negative, but, he DID, so his followers believe that since you believe he didn’t you must step in and do it for him? I thought Obama stood for a much higher ground! So I see more and more what subliminal message he has passed on to his followers. How do you think that the trash, he has told you to sling, because, HE SURE DIDN’T, is good for our country? It makes no difference who started it, the fact is whoever has continued to do it on both sides, has validated the nastiness!! You might want to try your own words yourself…HE WHO LIVES ETC. Judge not lest ye be judged…how do you justify all of this c***?

“obama’s real birth certificate”
If you keep twisting reality your brain will get stuck that way.
Obama’s birth certificate has been freely available for months to anybody who was willing to do a search.
Palin’s medical records have still not been released in their entirity (I guarantee you that the Mat-Su Medical Center is not her sole provider).
I am of the mind that there’s nothing particularly interesting therein. And if there is… well, being bipolar should not disqualify somebody for public office, as long as it’s controlled and monitored.
On the other hand, her unwillingness to release any information until election day is a foreshadowing of what we can expect to happen to sunshine laws, the Freedom of Information Act, and appeals to “national security” to cover up abuses of executive power, under a hypothetical Palin administration.
Posted by: Yukon Sam | November 4, 2008, 9:20 am 9:20 am
Is that what Palin promised to release? I am expecting to see her medical records, not a two-page letter from her family physician.

Posted by: FactCheck | November 4, 2008, 9:28 am 9:28 am
So let me get this straight, all of you women out there who say she doesn’t represent you. You don’t personally know the woman and what you find out is given through the press and in order to get you to read it they print highly “over exaggerated” information because the truth really is boring. Print any negative info from people who met her once, stood next to her at the crosswalk and take the info of those who know her and print it deep into the paper somewhere or don’t print it at all. The neg creates the discussion boards and makes them feel good about what they have written, because, now people are reading it! So if someone were to check into your background is there anything there you wouldn’t want the world to know!!! If you were in the same position what would you do? Whether you want to believe it or not Michelle Obama threw the first salvo towards Hillary, but, you all believe that you are more like Michelle than you are Sarah, but, if you and your friends and family were perfectly honest, is it more like both of them?

Theres no escape Palin, now go back to Alaska and face those OTHER ethics investigations.
The good thing is this election has exposed her as the megalomaniac power crazed religious fanatic she is. In the next gubernal election Alaska is getting a new governor.
Posted by: JoeShmoe | November 4, 2008, 9:31 am 9:31 am
Nice to see that ABC puts this story up and ignores the true story that should be headlined. The Ohio Coal Assn says: “It’s evident that this (Obama) campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state’s voters. “Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short-sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote.
Posted by: Bill | November 4, 2008, 9:33 am 9:33 am
Sorry Teddy, but in 12 hours when she is no longer a candidate for high office and resuming her career as governor of Alaska she won’t be showing you much of anything. I will take no records and her back in Alaska over the alternative! :)
I believe that she was holding them up until the last minute in the hopes that a media firestorm would commence about it, so she could play the media bias card again. The media played it politely, so it didn’t work. Or perhaps it took that long to read her doctor’s handwriting perhaps!
Posted by: Scott F | November 4, 2008, 9:35 am 9:35 am
The answer is: Palin waited until the last minute to release her medical records because she was pregnant with her first child before her marriage. Track was born 7 months and 21 days after she and her husband eloped, and according to her doctor, none of her children were born prematurely. This is her personal business and I wouldn’t care about it, except that it highlights (as does her daughter’s teen pregnancy) a stubborn refusal to learn, even from her own life experiences. She continues to push abstinence-only sex education for teens, even though she and her own daughter have proven it doesn’t work. If even the “preacher” can’t abide by the sermon, what chance have the rest of us? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_were_Todd_and_Sarah_Palin_married

Posted by: J.C. | November 4, 2008, 9:38 am 9:38 am
These are not medical records. It was a letter prepared by Ms. Palin’s friend and family physician to release to the press.
No medical records were actually released. I am not saying it is inaccurate, but we do not have the actual medical records to back up the assertions that are made in the letter. There is no assertion that some important details were not left out.
Why weren’t the records themselves made available? And why weren’t they released before?
If Ms. Palin is elected, is that how she would handle problems- fail to release the actual facts and then just release a conclusory two page letter saying everything was ok by one of her trusted aides?
Press- I expect a little more out of you than this. Don’t just accept politician’s statements that everything is ok without the facts to back it up.

FUnny how the right wing jumped all over Obama for a doctors note, then last second Palin gives out a doctors note and boom she’s clear! Hypocracy at it’s finest. My instinct tells me she doesn’t want to show something in her past and maybe Obama doesn’t as well. Guess we will never know.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – it’s more indecent to force your daughter to lie about her baby. If the medical records showed the birth, then I will eat crow and apologize. But, the evidence is mounting that Palin is hiding something. She produced a letter written by the doctor who is accused of being complicit in the cover-up. She is the same woman who allegedly gave Palin the green light to fly to alaska from texas after her water broke. All palin had to do was release her medical records, not a note from her doctor. It’s not her baby, I’m almost certain of it.

If her records are so benign, why wait until the 11th hour? Why a “doctor’s note” instead of actual records? (Yeah, I know — Obama did it too, which I think is wrong)
She is hiding something personal, although I doubt it’s anything that would be a concern. Maybe she’s had cosmetic surgery; maybe she never had amniocentesis.
This doctor put in what she wanted put in the note, and he left out what she wanted left out – period!
Posted by: Anna | November 4, 2008, 9:51 am 9:51 am
If she was so “healthy”. why wait until the very last day to release, TWO pages? Of course she is hiding something but she knew the MSM wouldn’t look too deep into it being today is election day. Another shady move by the crooks.

But hey, he’s about CHANGE!
Posted by: dave | November 4, 2008, 9:54 am 9:54 am
palin probably waited until now because of privacy concerns. it’s funny- usually left-wingers are all about women’s privacy (right to choose, etc.) but not with her. of course, she’s not the femi-nazi they usually support.
Posted by: thomg12 | November 4, 2008, 9:55 am 9:55 am
Palin is a joke and a slap in the face to Americans. From avoiding answering questions at the debate, to accepting a prank call and flirting with “sarkozy” to not releasing her medical records. A medical statement is not the same as a record! I mean c’mon people the Dr. who wrote her health report is the same that “approved” she fly from Texas to Alaska after her “water broke.” Here are some clues for me (at least) that she is not the mother: she carries Trig like he’s a prop, she said she had 4 kids (while talking at her church) then corrected herself & during her interview with Brian Williams she made it a point to mention “if that will allow some curiosity seekers to have oh 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, happy, had five kids uhm that’s going to be in the medical record…” blah blah blah. Why even make it a point to say “had 5 kids?” Is she trying to convince herself of her own lie. I hope one day the truth will come to light not because I need to know it as a voter but for the sake of her daughter Bristol and the sake of Bristol’s son, Trig. God Bless Trig and I pray he will grow up in a loving, truth-filled and safe environment.

Even just recently in McCain’s commercial he FINALLY admitted to the public that he KNOWS that the US populace were not doing too well in the past 8 years.
True – that McCain is not GWB person-wise, but he and GWB are both die-hard Republicans!
I’m sure even God will agree to let a non-Republican to be elected as the coming US President!

Is it your right, as a man, to have whatever you want from a female because of your plumbing? Women don’t mistake sex for love! How do you explain meeting someone and within hours you have s**, where is the love in a 5 hour window? It makes no difference whether she was pregnant or not before she eloped. People today, for the most part, don’t even marry, they just have kids and move in together. Some men take no responsibility for children and some women don’t even know who the father is. How many of you fall into this category. Sooner or later Obama will show his true colors and you will all see him for the truth. He doesn’t care about anything but getting elected. Take care of your own lives, own it and learn from it. Your holier than thou attitude is quickly shattering!!!

Some surprising things I did see one black person at the poll literally one and only one middle-aged one. I saw a few people of Pakistani and Indian decent (after all I do live in NJ). I wore my camoflauge jacket and my name was in the “District” book. They didnt even ask for i.d.!!! They just let me vote. Anyway remember a vote for Obama is a vote for Iran and Al-Qaeda (they love him!) so Vote McCain. Enough said.

She didn’t release her Medical Records, she had her family doctor provide a memo stating that she was in good Health. Same thing she’s been criticizing Obama for having done the same thing. What a Phoney. It’s obvious she’s got something to hide. Possibly an abortion or two, that sick kid is her daughters. some STDS and a depression problem after failing to win the Miss Alaska contest.

Moonbat liberal commies never understand the goose for the gander deal do they?
Headlines if Obama wins:
US PRESS FAILS PUBLIC — AMERICA elects “fringe” candidate Communist dictator/Hitler wannabe.
From Obama’s Berlin Speech: “We cannot to continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” He added, “People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve.”
In my opinion, Obama’s “civilian national security force” will be used to enforce speech codes, the “FAIRNESS DOCTRINE” and DRACONIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, right here on our own soil in violation of POSSE COMITATAS.

This man Obama is a truly scary demagogue who deserves to be questioned much more than he was. It is sad that our press is corrupt in this country and no longer can be trusted to do this job satisfactorily. It doesn’t mean you should not investigate these things for yourself. It does not mean Obama did not say this. It’s recorded on video everywhere for posterity.
But the fact his apologists would twist it to mean something it does not in order to whitewash it is QUITE FRIGHTENING.
If he wins, it will be the press who will have elevated THIS FRINGER NUTJOB idiot candidate to presidency…

Palin is cleared of involvement in “Troopergate” last night and ABC News only reports on the lateness of the medical report which shows she is healthy (Obama smokes, Biden had an aneurysm and McCain had skin cancer). Amazing that some really cynical Obamaniacs still cling to the notion that she covered up for her daughter or she has some dreadful disease. Those same voters will have elected the most unqualified person ever to be president – if Obama wins. Ask an Obama voter why they vote for him and they will say that he is inspirational and will bring change – then ask how he will bring change and they have no idea!!!!

Sarah Palin could hve avoided all this if she had only submitted her medical records a few weeks ago. You have to admit, why would anyone wait until the night before the election when they could hav avoided this all by simply submitting the records earlier. And PLEASE don’t say that it is the Democrats that were the dirty ones here. Did you hear them bringing up the Keating 5,the Iran Contra scandal, or McCains cheating ways, leaving a sick wife and becoming engaged before he was even divorced. No, Republicans were the dirty ones. There is no denying that. This Independent whie 50 yr old woman voted for Obama.

From Chris: According to the book of Revelation, the anti-Christ: will be a man in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will come out of nowhere, decieve the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….. the prophesy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA? I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT AND SEND THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO VOTE. THE BOOK OF REVELATION SAYS THAT THE BEAST WILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE AUTHORITY APPROX 42 months (in ch 13) Thats almost a 4 year presidency term. Lord have mercy on us!

Turns out that it was then-mayor Sarah Palin that nominated Dr. Balwin-Johnson for 2002 Family Physician of the Year:
http://www.allbusiness.com/north-america/united-states-alaska/103983-1.html
Palin nominated the doctor, and now they do favors for each other. I smell Alaskan FRAUD!
Governor Palin appointed Baldwin-Johnson as a commissioner to Health Care Strategies Council:
Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson of Wasilla is a private practice family physician and the 2002 National Family Physician of the Year from the American Academy of Family Physicians. In 1999, Baldwin-Johnson co-founded and is the volunteer medical director of The Children’s Place, and since 2005 has served as a consultant and trainer on child abuse issues. Baldwin-Johnson graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine where she participated in the WWAMI Medical School program.
http://www.hss.state.ak.us/hspc/members.htm
Baldwin-Johnson was nominated for her work as a family physician; as co-founder of The Children’s Place, also in Wasilla; and as a founder of the Sexual Assault Response Team in the Valley. She recently received the Alaska First Lady’s Award for outstanding volunteerism.

Ideas first ridiculed by Bush and McCain and now the Bush Administration has adopted almost all of Obamas ideas. Now you tell us why we the people should give any Republican another 4 years?

He’s not fooling anyone by dressing up as a Democrat. We’re expressing our choice to flush Republican Ideology down the Toilet.

zeuser89, that is exactly the point. The times have changed, yet generations of young people are rushed into marriage and parenting years before they are ready. When will conservatives face reality and stop insisting that the world return to an imaginary 1950′s sitcom? Teens need real sex education and access to contraceptives, hopefully sometime before Bristol Palin’s future child repeats her mother’s pattern yet again! That is, unless parents are prepared to go back to the days when young people were chaperoned throughout every minute of their courtship. The automobile pretty much put an end to that practice. When will conservatives move into this century? Nobody argues that children are a blessing, but isn’t it better that that blessing come at the time when the parents are willing and established in a stable and loving relationship?

All of you people questioning why it took so long, and making up all sorts of machievellian reasons — ask your primary care doctor for a 2 page letter describing your medical history and condition. Start today — maybe you’ll have something by the new year. Maybe. More likely, they’ll resist writing anything.
Don’t need a summary?Then ask your doctors office for a copy of your medical file (pretend you’d be willing to let regional, national, and international press dig through your info). See how long it takes to get the copies. (and don’t be squeamish about paying the cost)
Thank god the campaign for 2008 has come to an end — there will be at least a few months when some people might return to their common sense before campaigns for 2010 and 2012 start.

And get over yourself and take some bible study classes at any local church with Christianity being it’s basis. And as far as the theory that the young don’t get sick, well that’s a myth. My sister was in perfect health, athletic and in good shape. Got sick at 36 and found out she had type 1 diabetes. Young and fit dosen’t always mean healthy.

Here is chilling for you:
Quoting OBUMMER:
From Obama’s Berlin Speech: “We cannot to continue to rely only on our military
in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We have
got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as
strong, just as well funded.” He added, “People of all ages, stations, and
skills will be asked to serve.”
In my opinion, Obama’s “civilian national security force” will be used to
enforce speech codes, the “FAIRNESS DOCTRINE” and DRACONIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS,
right here on our own soil in violation of POSSE COMITATAS.

RE:carlyonsue
“I told you so…” Very mature indeed! How Republican can you get? The fact is that McCain would have had a much better chance to win the election today if he hadn’t picked this phoney, folksy-talking-winking stooge!
I will have the last laugh tonight when the nation tells Palin that she can take her good health back to Alaska.

If Palin is so popular, then why is the polls saying 60% thinks she is hopelessly UNQUALIFIED!

Anyway you slice and dice it Obama was against this illegal war based on Republican lies! it’s cost us over 4000 of or Kids who died as Cheneys Haliburton stock hit a 52 week high. And what did Cheney say when told of this 4000 milestone? “SO!” Nice… This Illegal WAR based on Republican Lies is costing us over 10Billion a Month and too many lives.

carlyonsue…no that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that she should be examined in the same manner as any man. I don’t need a detailed list of hemroids, cholestoral readings and warts. If “whoever” is examined by a medical professional and given a clean bill of health, then that’s good enough for me.Whether it’s 2 sentences or 50 pages long, it’s irrelevant.Has any president been disqualified for health reasons? Reagan had alzheimers during his last term as president. Nobody kicked him out of office.I have high blood pressure, take medicine and lead an active full life. It has no bearing on my ability to do my job. I could live another 50 years with proper treatment.Or I could kick the bucket tomorrow, who knows. And if that’s your argument where are McCain’s records? One page for a man in his 70′s with cancer?

“as no known health problems that would interfere with her ability to carry out the duties and obligations of Vice President of the United States of America”…why wasn’t there a period after “no known health problems . PERIOD”.why no period? why the hold up? There had to be a reason to allow all the speculation. why? what are they hiding? She HAS a health problem but it’s not deemed that is would interfere? Or did they need some time to pass in order to legally say “she is not on any regular prescrption drugs” , so if she doesn’t take them for a few weeks, can you claim that??? I still quesiton the mental illness. That makes the most sense that she was treated for depression or bipolar or schizophrenia and they dont want to us to know that. If she was so clean as a whistle they would have done this on day one. Why the wait? There HAS to be a reason.

Posted by: angela | November 4, 2008, 11:11 am 11:11 am
To my relatives, friends and acquaintances,
As many of you know, with my parents, from my earliest childhood, I used to actively campaign and support Democrats. However, the Democrats of today are not Harry Truman’s, nor John Kennedy’s. They are not the Democrats of a bygone era. They are a different breed. – As to the current campaign, it’s a very different world, yet with very similar politics. For those of you that have often stated that you don’t think that ordinary, grass roots people can make a difference, tune in to Fox news and the press today Saturday, then Sunday and Monday. The below listed has gone out to every newspaper in each battleground and coal producing States in the US. It has also gone out to every listed Veterans organization plus many 10′s of thousands of people through individual e-mails and through assistance from major woman’s organizations. This fight is nowhere near over. We will not allow our Country to be sold out to subversives and Marxist Communists. Our nation has sacrificed nearly one hundred thousand of our sons and daughters to Free nearly one quarter of the population of this planet from the scourge of Marxism and Communism. Communism not only enslaved one quarter of the population of this planet, they were also responsible for the greatest mass slaughter in the history of mankind. It is estimated that between 150 to 200 MILLION people lost their lives, many tortured and murdered by Communists. If you don’t think that it can happen in this our Nation, you are either naive or ignorant of History. In nearly every country that wound up behind the Iron Curtain of Communism, it did not occur through Russian or Chinese military victories. It occurred by naive people ‘falling for’, believing in virtually the exact same rhetoric of ‘CHANGE’, and taking from wealthier earners and giving it to the working masses, that OBAMA and his Liberal Communist allies have been feeding us. Yes, the naive of virtually every Nation that wound up under Communist rule, actually voted in the Communists and therefore their own enslavement. And if slanted, biased, American Communist main stream reporters or media try to tell you any different, … They’re full of it. They’re conning you. I know. Because, I was there. I lived the horror. My family was arrested by the political police. My parents were beaten and barbarically tortured. They carried the effects of those beatings and torture to they’re death. – I know what its like to be investigated. To fear of not saying the wrong thing because it may mean beatings, torture, your life or the life of your entire family. I know the terror of machine gun carrying Soviet troops. Of escaping through a barbed wire and a minefield covered Iron Curtain that is built to keep people in. – What sort of democracy needs to lay barbed wire, land mines and mount machine gun turrets to keep its population from leaving? That my friends was and still is the ultimate results of Communism. And that is exactly what the left wing Liberals and Obama are spouting to us today. – Still don’t believe me? Read what the Liberals have been saying about shutting up the opposition press under the guise of a fairness doctrine. Watch the retribution as reporters from newspapers that endorsed McCain are being kicked off and shut out. See the videos of a confident Obama in state after state giving the finger to Hillary’s and McCain’s followers. Listen to the speeches of many of Obama’s friends, associates, minister and wife. Read Saul Alinsky and the Marxist Manifesto, then listen to Obama’s and Biden’s and Pelosi’s and Barney Frank’s and Harry Reed’s rhetoric and watch ACORN’s actions and tell me that these people are not Communists trying to follow to the T, to the letter, the process that is laid out, in writing, in manual form, by Karl Marx and Saul Alynski to overthrow Capitalism and therefore the Government of the United States. For the sake of our children and our Nation, we must stand up. We must stand firm. We cannot and must not let it happen. Sincerely,

Let’s talk about something relevant like all the STILL unaswered connections that Obama has with Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Khalidi…who else will come out of the woodwork once the election comes and goes? You guys are voting for this person and you don’t really know him – at all. I like how he’s already scaling back all his promises that the democrats fell in love with. Obama is not ready to lead & his far left-wing, liberal policies are scary.

Maybe you should try to talk about something instead of fear and hate-mongering and the American public might give you the time of day.
PS: You should be ashamed to take up for the Republican party who have wrecked our great nation. America is NOT buying your lies this time!

“any trips to a psychiatrist or psychiatric counselor wouldn’t be referenced in there, now would they?”….I agree. It’s mental illness. they needed to find a way to NOT tell us she has been treated for mental illness a nd had teh lawyers working overtime to figure out how to hide it legally. Get a letter from the primary care. Look at her record, how she bounces around from job to job to job, 6 colleges in five years obviously was sleeping around, she tried to be everything under the sun, gets knocked up, and her performance as mayor or governor were short, and she had hired laywers andcity managers to basically do the job for her. She has shown a pattern of being vindictive and irrational. She wants to force rape victims to bear the children of their rapes. What percentage of americans want to d o that. That is not the symptom of a mentally stabel women. Even her shopping compulsion. Then last night she was in jeans???? Up down up down. There is something bipolar about this women. Me thinks it’s mental illness and the laywers were working hard to figure out to legally not expose it. Why did McCain ALLOW SNL to make fun of her ‘rogue’ spot on SNL this week????

It’s amazing the hypocrisy isn’t it?
And if you want to talk about Todd, there are dozens more REAL attacks by Obamatards and dozens more FAKED ones by Obamatards pretending to be McCain supporters.
I KNOW, I’m a victim of one of these attacks.
And it won’t stop if they win. Moonbats here in this state continue to do horrid things to people whenever they get the chance. It’s frightening because if he wins they will have a willing perpetrator in the white house with his armed civilian security force.. I wonder if he will issue them uzis.. LOL

1BLUESTOCKING; What a piece of c***. As long as they are in a loving relationship than it doesn’t matter whether or not theere are children involved. You can’t have it both ways. Where I live the divorce rate is 62%. Yep! That is really good for children. Blame Bristol’s pregnancy on her parents lack of morals. Please, pull your head out of your *** a stable relationship is not two people who can’t make a committment to each other, what does that teach their children, have as many children you want and just know that if we can’t committ to each other has nothing to do with the rest of our actions? Children with the best education and loving parents still think they are grown up and will do their own thing and you can’t blame that on parents. As parents we teach our children well and hope that they know right from wrong, but, they are still their own person and they will make their own choice. You made your choice for your husband or wife and president and perhaps people you know don’t agree, where is it the parents fault.? You picked them!!! You may not like their choice but you still support your child!!!! That is what Sarah is doing. What have you done in your life that qualifies you on being the expert you think you are on many issues?
FYI: I AM NOT A CONSERVATIVE I AM A LIBERAL AND I DIDN’T VOTE FOR EITHER MCCAIN OR OBAMA. That proves my point on your qualifications. You have no clue who I am but you believed that I was a conservative. Wow, self proclaimed brilliance takes another hit!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want her around for a LONG TIME, ’cause the health benefits of laughter are well documented and she is one of the most ridiculous political characters I’ve seen in ages! Just having her live to a ripe old age is going to ensure the well-being of MILLIONS of Democrats! Haahahahahahaha…Ohohohohohahahahaha…. Heeheeheehaahahahahahaha!!!!
Posted by: Long Live Sarah Palin | November 4, 2008, 11:27 am 11:27 am
JustSayNoToSarah – Your comments are low class and uncalled for. There was once a time when liberals were open-minded and not judgmental, unlike your comments.
1) an amniocentesis is a standard medical procedure that carries minimal risk. It is usually doctor recommended for women over the age of 40. Even pro-lifers have the test, because if one is going to have a disabled child, it is better to know well in advance to prepare for the challenges they are willing to accept.
2) As indicated by the medical report, the plane ride back to Alaska when Palin was pregnant caused absolutely no harm to the baby. Most women know their bodies well – they know their limits. This was Palin’s fifth pregnancy. The end result of that plane ride was a successful, safe delivery surrounded by loved ones. There is no evidence that she caused any harm to the baby.
You may not like Palin and I can respect if you do not agree with her politics, but to criticize her for her reproductive choices is very out of line and exactly the opposite of what liberalism once stood for.

You can d oa tripble screen and find out there is a large possibility that you have down’s kid, which I did, and I said ah well, we”ll see and I did NOT risk thelife of the baby having a amnio. Amnio can kill the baby. Period. anyone who has a baby knows that. When I was offered one I was told point blank that was a risk and I said no. Why is finding out then orin five months any different? Makes no sense. Why have one unless you are going to stop the pregnancy. Makes NO SENSE if you KNOW you aregoing to keep the baby. gee, maybe she wasn’t so sure, huh? there is no other explaination. And I have had four children and it ws HUGELY Irresponsible for her to ge4t on a 12 hour flight while in labor. HUGELY irresponsible. I dont know that i believev this report. sounds fishy.

He can’t keep jobs in the US, he doesn”t own the companies, tax cuts or no tax cuts. Obamas tax plan will boost the debt by 3.5 trillion by 2013, and he has said, which he refused to put into his informercial, that certain of his promises will have to be put on hold! Wow, Don’t forget that redistribution of wealth through his “Middle Class” tax cuts? If you make 35,000 to 50,000 a year your big tax cut will be 1000.00 a yearfor 2 to at least 4 dependents!

Yes can you imagine? They are really grasping at anything they can….I mean come on, a boob job? So what even if she did? (It doesn’t appear that she did)
Like that is some sort of disqualifier??? Get Real.
It’s not like a boob job can compare after all to being a PISSANT communist puppet for George Soros looking to bring this country to its knees, or a terrorist sympthizer or a crack cocaine smoker or a member of the socialist party.. nope…
Geesh.

You people are all ridiculous. Sarah Palin has never done anything wrong. People need to stop being so sexist. Get over it! She is a very intelligent woman with more years of experience that freaking Barack Obama. Everyone wants Obama because they are going to get change.. haha, but no one knows what kind of change it’ll be. And the truth is, the change he wants to bring will kill us all. And watch out, McCain & Palin are going to be victorious tonight. Just wait and see.
Posted by: Alyssa | November 4, 2008, 11:37 am 11:37 am
About the only thing I can add is that, this election was bought and paid for by Obama and the media. He’s most probably going to win; and that’s fine; “the will of the people!”
However, I will HOLD him to his campaign promises. I want my free health insurance; and NONE of my taxes better go up. I don’t want to see the “slipped-in” taxes on everything from toothpaste -to-trojans!
Fact of the matter is, he’ll grow government bureaucracies(sp?), and I expect government TO PERFORM!
He says he ready on day 1, and I will be the first to hold him accountable!!
4 years is a short period of time, but it will probably take decades to undo his mess!
Enjoy your 44th socialist-president if it goes as the polls predict.
I’m moving!!

matt – Please stop with the abortion issue! She does not want to “force” rape victims to have babies – most everyone knows that the morning after pill is standard in post rape treatment, making rape-related pregnancy a non-issue.
As for her thinking Roe vs. Wade should be overturned – many people, including some pro-choicers feel the same way. Many feel the courts should not legislate from the bench. If (and it’s a big if) Roe vs. Wade was overturned, it would not outlaw abortion! It would turn abortion into a states’ rights and voters’ rights issue – the way it should be. Let the voters in each state decide if they want abortion rather then having a few people in Washington decide – in the end, doing so would make abortion less of an issue for presidential candidates.

The media loved Hillary until someone more liberal came along just like the media loved John McCain before he was on the republican ticket. Hillary should have won the primary and then I would have been equally satisfied with McCain or Hillary, Obama on the other hand scares the hell out of me. Somehow I don’t think I fit in with the Black liberation theology crowd of Trinity United Church. I am not racist, love America, don’t agree that America created the AIDS virus, and certainly think the USA is a terrorist state. These seem to be focal points of that church and the Obamas felt right at home there. Anyone who votes for Obama is an idiot– put the class of kool-aid down…..

Releasing it now makes it seem like they did not even realize that a large number of people had already voted. And, the odds are, that some of those people voted against her because they felt she was hiding something. So, was it really a smart thing to hold this back until now–given the non-issue nature of the report?

WHY would we move to Canada or Mexico? They are worse communists and lack even more freedom there. It would be like going from the frying pan to the fire.
This proves you have no idea what you are talking about.
If he wins, I will never pay the IRS again because under Obama this money is going straight to foreign countries for our own demise.
I will never recognize him as president because he is an undeserving pissant that was not vetted by the press or the people.
They were too busy being sexist and trashing someone for a boob job on ABC forum.
This is how Hitler took over… lack of education of our public school children who have grown up to be ignorant adults who can’t even see when they are being hoodwinked by the false promises of $$ from this snake oil salesman.

As PR professional (I know, it’s an oxymoron), the timing of the release is a red flag. In PR, you release good news early so it can get coverage over a length of time. For example, publicly traded companies release good news on a Monday or Tuesday so the trade press and dailies can pick it up, contact the company for comment, and report on it fully, and the markets have time to absorb it and hopefully drive your stock higher. With any luck, you can get reporters to do follow up so you maximize coverage and positive impact on your stock. They release bad news after the markets close on Friday, so reporters have little time to seek comment before execs go home for the weekend, and hope that nobody follows up on Monday. The fact that Palin released incomplete records (which she knew was far less than what the skeptics were looking for) the evening before polls opened suggests that she doesn’t want to answer questions about what’s not in the two pages she released. But in this case, it’s not Friday and reporters aren’t going to forget about it over the weekend. Essentially, she’s thrown gas on the fire, which will just create more smoke…and where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

Now, let’s hear the chants and outcry for OBAMA’S records, not that one paragraph summary that’s he’s in ‘good health’. And whatever happened to Biden’s Brain Scans that were missing from his records (although based upon the things that’s been coming out of his mouth since his VP nominee appointment, I think we can all deduce what those would show!)

Funny, but the polls show a consistent correlation between education level and support for Obama.
As a physician who understands the problems with health care; I believe that McCain, while perhaps slightly better for my wallet, is terrible for my profession and Palin – well, be honest – she was a ridiculous cynical purely political pick that appropriately backfired miserably.

Posted by: Cathy | November 4, 2008, 11:48 am 11:48 am
matt – what she said is that she “believes” rape victims who are pregnant “should” have the baby – that’s her personal belief system – even if a rape victim were to become pregnant she couldn’t “force” them to have the baby. That is her personal belief – she’s not saying that should be the law especially when the morning after pill prevents pregnancy in most rape cases and is standard. Even as vice president or president she could not pass a law banning abortion as Reagan, Bush and Bush could not either – all very pro-life presidents. Her belief is her belief. Your outrage is misplaced and shows that you have very little faith (or knowledge) in our system of democracy.

George Soros is a CONVICTED international criminal and NAZI SYMPATHIZER who as a Jew, stood there pretending not to be Jewish while he relieved Jewish prisoners of their belongings before sending them to the ovens.
SO please don’t tell me about the KKK supporting McCain. Most of us don’t even know who the KKK is and they have no power over our government while Soros OWNS the Democrat party and will soon OWN this country if Obama wins.
IN FACT he’s the one who helped crash the markets on Sept 15th in a totally manipulated move so they would have something to blame.. They could not use the Iraq war as their excuse since the war has been won and is over.

RUKiddingMe: If Palin had released this one or two months ago, it wouldn’t have raised red flags. There would have been time to ask questions and let the electorate absorb the information. Obama’s timing gave everyone enough time to ask questions, so it didn’t raise any red flags. If he has something to hide, he went about hiding it the right way. Palin essentially asked for this treatment way back when she demanded a mayoral opponent produce a marriage certificate. She should have been prepared to deal with the issue at the vice presidential level, especially considering the rumors about Trig and Bristol that were flying around before she was even picked. With better advice from her PR staff, she could have easily made this a non-issue instead of a distraction for the campaign. I’m not saying she has something to hide, I’m just saying she’s acting like someone who has something to hide.

Its intereting that noone have brought up this in the second Troopergate report:’
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6174473&page=1
“Petumenos warned that Palin and at least one senior aide had deleted private emails that may have been relevant to his probe, and cannot be retrieved. “We are concerned about the use by the Governor and some of her staff of private e-mail accounts for government business,” he wrote, cautioning that his findings may have been affected.”
There you go, in black & white: Palin manipulated the evidence. The key words are: “FINDINGS MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED”.
And further the report concludes:
“Petumenos, in another branch of his investigation, found that one of Palin’s aides may have violated the state Ethics Act and Personnel Act in the process of hiring a Palin campaign contributor to a government job.”
So it looks like Palins aides are taking the fall for her, she has her very own “Ashley Todds” on her team.

Has it not dawned on anyone that we only see what they want us to see? Is everyone a complete idiot? I don’t care if Sarah Palin had an abortion, or if she is conservative minded, or her medical records say she is an elephant, it has absolutley nothing to do with performing the duties of vice president or president for that matter. I don’t care if Obama is a devout devil worshipper and praises lucipher on the front lawn of the white house. Can the candidate run the country? Running the united states of america is not rocket science and anyone who thinks it is should just get out.
The type of nonsense being poseted on this board this morning with false accusations and horrible rhetoric reminds exactly what all people are like (democrat or republican).

If one thing is proven by this election, liberals are the most hateful, racist and intolerant party on the planet…
Their open minded policies are what cause teen pregancies and shows like Sex in the City and other stuff the kids watch that make casual sex OK… not parents teaching abstinence. It’s not like Democrats never had a kid of theirs get pregnant! It’s laughable.
The kind of intolerance shown to someone who is beautiful, healthy and accomplished and has literally nothing questionable in her background tells me how jealous they are.
Now about that birth certificate and health record — how long has Obama been smoking (and doing men) crack? Latest was 1999 I heard for both.
http://www.larrysinclair.org knows as well as poor Don Young who is dead.
Now THERE is something to hide.
The press in this country is also proven to be criminal and corrupt — they helped this creepazoid hide everything they possibly could. And you suckers believed it.

I don’t care for Sarah Palin, but all this speculation about Trig being her daughter’s child is just ridiculous. The very fact that he is a Down’s Syndrome child tends to point to him being the governor’s baby…down’s syndrome births occur at a much higher rate when the mother is over 35, and the chances increase almost exponentially when she hits 40. I know, I just had a child at 41, and had 3 separate amnio’s to check specifically for this, as well as other things.
Posted by: angela | November 4, 2008, 12:27 pm 12:27 pm
“ABC News medical contributor, Dr. Tim Johnson, read the letter and said: “Assuming they left nothing important out in her summary, Palin appears to be in very good health – takes no medication, has never been hospitalized other than for births, her blood pressure and pulse (the only two numbers given) are very normal.”
“In short,” ABC’s Dr. Johnson said, “Her health would appear to be a non-issue, which makes you wonder why they waited until the literal last minute to release the information.” ”
To bad they had not concerned themsleves this much with Obama’s Records. ABS….good job once again at creating news instead of reporting it!

” don’t care for Sarah Palin, but all this speculation about Trig being her daughter’s child is just ridiculous. The very fact that he is a Down’s Syndrome child tends to point to him being the governor’s baby…down’s syndrome births occur at a much higher rate when the mother is over 35, and the chances increase almost exponentially when she hits 40. I know, I just had a child at 41, and had 3 separate amnio’s to check specifically for this, as well as other things.

KenZen: WHEN has anyone in the mainstream media asked ANY questions about Obama?? Joe the Plumber asks and had his civil rights violated by the media AND OH state officials (ironic the ACLU didn’t jump in…oh yeah, they were busy fighting for the rights of Child Sex Offenders in MO). The media spent more time TRYING to find something to write against Palin then they EVER did on Obama. Now, as Tom Brokaw stated so eloquently just 2 nights ago in an interview “I guess there’s a LOT we don’t know about Senator Obama…” Hmmm…I would think that 2 years of campaigning should have allowed the media time to ask…

Carolynsue: outlandish/evil/vile whatever the hell you want to call it. I wasn’t excusing it. But the scrutiny that did need to be applied was looked at as foul play no matter what. You have not and cannot address what I said before. She’s simply not ready to be a player on this stage. I’m ready when ever you are to try and back up her qualifications. She took eight years to get through college at six different schools. And her major is one of the most common and easiest degrees to obtain. And she threw her own kids under the bus. NOT the media. When you tout Pro-Life and abstinence only education and then throw your underage daughter in the national spotlight for being pregnant is disgusting. Looks like Mom and Dad should have been spending a little more time at home with the kids rather than advancing their political career ( I say their because aparently “The First Dude” was privy to everything she was). Maybe that way she could claim even more per diem from her own state for her and the rest of her family for sleeping in their own beds.
You are a joke if you think that this woman can stand up to the level of scrutiny that is necessary for a Presidential/VP candidate. There is no transparency with Palin. Only vague references and “letters” drafted by a doctor saying that she’s healthy. Give me a break. You’re delusional if you think that she’s the type of woman that deserves the position she’s vying for. Pick one that has some clout and get back to us.

Ken Zen: I only partially agree (LOL) with your comment about Obama’s PR Team versus McCain’s PR Team…it’s easier to win the PR game when the Media itself is doing all the work FOR you, which they have in this election. First they went after Sen Clinton, then Sen McCain and Gov Palin, while ignoring anything negative on Obama.
I have to FULLY disagree with you on Joe the Plumber. Obama went to HIS neighbor to campaign and Joe asked a simple question. It was OBAMA’S RESPONSE that created sensation, not the question. Before Sen McCain EVER uttered Joe’s name in a speech, the media was already going through Joe’s Trash AND his records were being ILLEGALLY accessed by STATE OFFICIALS. Help me understand how this was justified?

All this abortion/fake mommy stuff is cr@p, but I’d bet money there’s no full report because she had some cosmetic work done. After 5 kids and a public life, she’s earned that much, but the campaign’s probably afraid that all of the Joliet-Six-Packs out there might think less of her for it.

First let me say that I just voted for Obama.
But, if the other candidates provided a medical history, I missed it. I really don’t see the need to publish such information. If anything, we should be more worried about McCain, but even then I wouldn’t ask for it. I think it’s prejudicial.
I’ll admit that, even though, they are not my candidates of preference, Palin has been the victim of blatant sexism. Whether she can handle the VP and her family and the cost of her clothes, are her business. Suits are expensive, too. And the male candidates have families, too.

RUKiddingMe: Obama talked to Joe the Plumber on Oct. 11, after which the media started to look into him. However, McCain is the one who brought up Joe in the Oct. 15 debate, mentioning him repeatedly. It was after the debate, and because of it, that Joe became a household name. Were his rights violated? Most likely. But don’t blame Obama, McCain or the media for that. Hopefully, whoever in the Ohio state records office leaked the info on Joe will be revealed by the ongoing investigation and reprimanded. My point is that before deciding to use Joe, McCain’s people should have talked to him, asked him if they could use him, and whether there was anything in his private life that might come up that he didn’t want public. With any luck, Joe will be able to turn his sudden celebrity into long term gain that outweighs for him personally the violation of his privacy that has ensued.

grr: How much info did Obama’s paragraph provide to ask questions? Why not criticism or outcry there from the media?
It reminds me of the outcry for Sen Clinton’s tax returns…’what is she hiding? what is she covering up?’ over and over from Obam and the media…then she releases it and she paid the most taxes over ALL the Democratic primary contenders AND had the best charitable donations.. Did that vindicate her? No, just led to more criticism on ‘if it’s really this good, why did she wait so long to release it?’. See a trend?

Ken Zen: I hope Joe does come out ahead. Luckily, one state official has been fired and brought up on charges, and the FBI is investigating the other illegal private record searches (his child support history, his unemployment history, whether he ever received welfare, etc. – all searched by OH State Officials). My problem is that the media spends more time and intensity on attempting to discredit Obama critics than ever vetting the actually Presidential Nominee. I mean, for Tom Brokaw to finally acknowledge 2 days before the election that we don’t really know a lot about Obama, who’s fault is that? The media had a responsibility to the public and they failed at the responsibility. There is my issue. It doesn’t have to be attacks, but for goodness sakes, ASK questions and expect answers…and hold them accountable for those answers. BOTH parties.

The reason that you have an Amnio even if you are going to keep the baby is to confirm the diagnosis in the setting of an abnormal triple screen/ultrasound. For example, Trisomy 18 (Edward Synd) shares many features with Trisomy 21 (Downs Synd) but is incompatible with life outside the womb for more than several days. It is reasonable to undergo an Amnio to know a diagnosis and what can be expected; many women who would not consider an abortion choose to do so.

I believe the delay in releasing Palin’s medical records was to lessen the chance of speculation regarding her last pregnancy at age 44. The letter states that she had prenatal screening which revealed the possibility of Down’s Syndrome. In addition, she underwent an amnio (which carries a low risk of miscarriage) to confirm the Down’s as well as any other birth defects. Mrs. Palin is a right to life advocate. Most people only proceed with these tests to make up their minds whether to carry the child to full term. With her silly stance of abstinence as well as her right to life banner, why bother to go thru the additional tests if she planned to go thru with the pregnancy anyway? Releasing the “letter” now lessen the questioning of her so-called beliefs. She should have practiced some kind of birth control at her age, if not for herself, but for the child. Probably thought the amnio would have helped to “abort” naturally.

KEN ZEN: Obama had the the better “SPIN DOCTOR” than McCain, but, you don’t need spin if you truly believe that you have a product worth selling, i.e Obama himself. He is very slick in what he does, and he is very good at getting people to flock around him, but, he has proven nothing as yet> He senate record shows nothing to be proud of and he has told lies, half truths and downright omission of the truth. That is what spin doctors do. No matter how many times you tell them to speak the truth, they don’t lke the truth because they don’t have enough faith in themselves and in an effort to keep your job, you do what you want to do. After 12 years of living within the “SPIN” system you realize that selling out yourself for a job that is on a slippery slope just isn’t worth it. Once you sell your soul you cease to exist. The fact that you had to spin your post to me shows what I am saying is the truth and the truth is exactly what I posted. There was no spin to telling the truth that I lived for years. After awhile Obama is going to have to prove his mettle and he has already said that alot of the things that he has promised will have to be shelved for quite sometime.
Posted by: Cathy | November 4, 2008, 2:01 pm 2:01 pm
I just want to clear something up that was posted earlier. All of you Obama supporters who believed that he voted against the Iraq War are just plain wrong! He did not even vote for the war he was in the Illinois Senate at the time not the US Senate. Perhaps if you put on your listening ears and really listened to his slick speeches and practiced acting in front of a camera you would have caught that. He never said he voted against the war, he said he was against the war from the very beginning. Gees people: I paid attention to what he had to say and i didn’t even support him..what was your problem?
Posted by: zeuser89 | November 4, 2008, 2:06 pm 2:06 pm
Okay it really upsets me to do this but I have to defend Palin on a few points-
Trig is HER son. Trig was born in April 2008 and Bristol is due in December 2008. It is impossible that Trig is actually Bristol child not Sarah’s.
And yes, people who have no intention of aborting DO have amniocentesis done to confirm the diagnosis of a medical disorder during pregnancy. I am currently pregnant myself with a very much wanted baby girl and am going to have amniocentesis done to confirm the diagnosis of Down Syndrome (late in my pregnancy to ensure the best chance of my baby’s health). Children with Down Syndrome do best if you can start their physical therapies as soon as possible which for healthy infants with Down Syndrome can begin within days of being born.
I think Palin is unqualified to be a VP, but there is no reason to make up falsehoods about her. Goodness knows she gives us enough truth to dislike her with alone. The wording of the letter is suspect as is the last minute timing but it seems like the GOP wants to shoot themselves in the foot at every chance they get.
Obama was born in the US to at least one full fledge American citizen parent that alone is enough to have him fit the naturalized citizen qualification. He could have been born outside the US and as long as his mom was still a citizen he became one due to the laws at the time of his birth. Unlike McCain who WAS born outside the US in Panama City but due to the laws at the time of his birth had to have a special thing pushed through Congress to declare McCain a natural citizen. Both are US citizens and had to meet the criteria to be made a candidate for president.
If you don’t like the other candidate don’t sling mud, GO VOTE. If your candidate wins, good for you. If not, too bad. We still have to get through the bad times together as a country. While we do need to know how we got in the mess to come to a solution, passing the blame doesn’t get us anywhere. Cast your vote then sit back and relax a bit. Otherwise do the rest of us a favor and zip it.

I told my story as I lived it and apparently you don’t like the way I saw it. If you want to call that spin than go ahead. I don’t have a grudge against Obama, I just have a right to speak my mind, as any American does, thanks to our constitution. You speak your mind and I haven’t accused you of having a grudge. however, if it makes you feel better than by means go ahead. I didn’t put you down, I just put the job that you do down. I don’t pretend to know you and I won’t accuse you of things that I know nothing about, like you did with me. I am a free thinking individual who has made up of her mind about a candidate and you can’t apparently, like all other BO supporters don’t like to someone else’s opinion. What I posted in my last post about BO and his spin machine and his lies, omissions and half truths are what I believe. The fact that he has made a statement that he will have to shelve alot of his promises for some time is true and came from his lips. I heard and it has been heard by others as well. So if it makes you feel better to try to psychoanalyze someone to get your point across or to shut up the opposition than shame on you for doing so. I do so much allow everybody the freedom of speech, but you must remember it works both ways!!! By the way I also believe the same about McCain and I didn’t vote for either one. Since you are not a McCain supporter you will than say that my opinion about him is dead on?!!!

Cathy: Truth is subjective. Two people watching the same thing will describe it differently, yet both are speaking the “truth”. Religious zealots speak about knowing the truth, whether or not their truth contradicts the facts as they are known. And religion doesn’t have to be about belief in God. It can be about belief in anything. As for other people putting spin on their message proving your message, which is the truth and spin-free…that’s religion, sister.

I still believe that Barack Obama is a man who only cares about his own political b*** and you can give me no facts that contradict my beliefs!!! You believe in him I don’t! I don’t have to accept him as my President and I won’t but I do live in the USA and I do believe that most of these problems will cure themselves. They always do. However, when things go wrong we point fingers, when things go right, we pat ourselves on the back!! Why do we never take responsibility for the bad, because, it completely goes beyond our belief of what we think of ourselves. I am a Vietnam Veteran and I have seen plenty of horrible acts while serving as a nurse, and I also know that nothing is ever as it seems! When you have watched soldiers die and you have cursed the war and the people who use their egos to prove that they are big and bad and powerful, it is not too hard to know when someone is spinning himself. I have had to learn the hard way, I also lost a brother and uncle in the Vietnam war, When people make lofty promises they seldom live up to their hype. Barack Obama will be no exception. Poor desperate people being preyed upon does not make me happy. I am not holding a grudge towards anyone, I just know how politicians work and they are quite the players!!!

Cathy: I never said I support Obama. Just that his PR is better than Palin’s. We can agree on one thing though: politicians are quite the players. As for accepting Obama as your president, if the majority elects him, he is your president whether you accept him or not. That’s just reality.

He will be the President of the United States and I am a part of that. I don’t have to accept him as my president though whether he is duly elecyed or not. I never accepted Bush and I was just fine. I don’t do business with him and I won’t break bread with him. He will be there and he will pretend to care but I don’t and won’t accept him as my president. I think for myself and watch out for myself and no president since Lyndon Johnson has had any affect on my life. It works better that way because someone who doesn’t know me can’t possibly know what is good for me or any other person in this country. Now you will probably think I am dillusional, no I am just smart. The less government anyone has in our lives the better off we are. So to whoever wins, I really don’t care, just don’t screw up my life and I won’t screw up yours. That is reality!!!!

morrowx: You are wrong! There are many reasons that a pregnant woman would have those tests run even if she doesn’t intend to abort the child! One of them is to check for problems such as some fetal heart problems that can’t wait until the child is born to be fixed. There are certain heart and intestinal disorders that are fatal to the baby that have to be fixed while the baby is still in the womb.

She often said that she wanted all of the children that God would give her. She got one, me, and she wanted more but due to infertility problems, she wasn’t able to have them.

Well the election is over and sadly the McCain\Palin ticket lost. I was hoping the outcome would be much different, but it wasn’t. However, life goes on. Even though I don’t agree with Barack Obama on many things, he is now our president elect and will soon be the leader of the free world. I will now pray for him and pray that he listens to the Holy Spirit and looks to the holy word of God, the Holy Bible for his guidance. I will also say that even though many of you may hope so, we have not seen the last of Sarah Palin. She has a wonderful future in the Republican party. She’ll be back! She will finish her term as governor of Alaska. Then she will probably run for another term in 2010 or she might run for US senator. She might even run for president in 2012 or 2016! By then no one will be able to say that she doesn’t have enough experience! I’ll vote for her again and so will many others!

I’m amazed by the incredible amount of public interest in Sarah Palin. Good or bad, she’s become somewhat of a pop icon. People are dressing like her to be and/or mock her all at the same time.
For instance, I found this video on dressing like Palin:

I wonder how many Dems are interested in Gov. Palin’s health and well-being now?
