A plausible explanation for why Sarah Palin will not release her medical records

[Hokie]

There is an obvious explanation why Palin will not release any medical records. She cannot convince her doctor to sign a false statement. If her doctor were to give in and sign a false or misleading statement it is his or her career that is down the toilet. If they know she is going to lose anyway why would a doctor risk his or her entire career for a loser like Palin who has a track record of using people and throwing them to the dogs when she has no need of them any more. I doubt we will see anything from her on this front. They would not have endured the small amount of media criticism for this if there were nothing to hide. We all know what the obvious incident is that she might not want public.

[Betsy Ross]

1. Yup.

We won't go there. The only relevent aspect is whether she lied.

[jazzjunkysue]

14. I'll go there. NO prob. She wants to own my uterus, I get to find out about hers.

It's that simple.

Whatever has or hasen't gone on in her uterus in the last few years is certainly relevant because she campaigns on the issue.

I suspect, still, that it's not an abortion she's hiding but a lack of a pregnancy: I still think we don't know who produced that baby. There are too many unanswered questions about her pregnancy, and the photos of her looking decidedly un pregnant, to rule this out.

If they're going to make crap up about Obama being a terrorist, we certainly deserve to know why she's hiding her medical records.

2. She knows she won't be VP, so she isn't going to reveal more than she has to.

[Peachhead22]

3. Doing my best Austin Powers voice...

"She's a man baby!" :crazy:

[WinkyDink]

5. Oh, beHAVE!

[Top Cat]

4. Maybe she really didn't give birth to Trig?

[kysrsoze]

11. Bingo! It's her daughter's baby. There is NO other reason.

Nothing about the timeline and photos adds up unless you assume the child is her grandson.

[Clio the Leo]

28. This is the equivalent of the "Obama was not born in America" meme....

.... only it's worse because it has NOTHING to do with the election.

At least their claim, if true, would have some relevance.

This argument is just pure-d trifling.

[grantcart]

6. There is a much more obvious reason - if she released her medical records

then there would be increased attention on McCain and his records and it would undermine any reason from him to keep his back/

[Bobbieo]

15. She doesn't give a rat's ass about McCain! Or vice versa -

I really believe Trig is her grandson. Sarah had to be up there in Alaska when Bristol delivered Trig - The reason for all the broken water and air flights and why she could not have the baby in Texas. She was never pg with this one.

[grantcart]

17. The idea that she would release her medical records against the wishes

of the McCain campaign is far fetched. Even if people prefer her an out an out rebelious act would be fatal, but you are free to speculate on far fetched conspiracy theories.

[TrogL]

7. STD's

[RC]

9. STD's and maybe an abortion.

I understand she does have a past.

[Voice for Peace]

8. "pep" pills?

[JuniperLea]

10. She'll have to scam all over again in 2012... eom

[Zenmaster]

12. A good theory is this...

Maybe Trig is actually the result of a failed abortion attempt, that took place in Chicago, and he was saved by the legislation that was already in place when Obama voted against the famous bill.

[stray cat]

13. Psych medication? or a facelift?

[Hokie]

16. Nah, not a facelift

Everyone knows she is vain as hell. They wouldn't hide that.

[Hokie]

18. Here is a blog by Andrew Sullivan on this.

Was that promise last week another lie? Again, I challenge Mark Salter personally. He called me crazy for asking questions about Sarah Palin's alleged fifth pregnancy. If you think questions are not worth asking, or based on nothing but partisanship and hate, please read this account of what is in the public records about it and make up your own mind. I think the bizarre circumstantial evidence easily rises to the level of material that should be addressed - as presumably could be done definitively - by the campaign. McCain chief aide, Mark Salter, said this about me to my colleague, Jeffrey Goldberg:

"This whole story about how the baby isn't hers? Jesus Christ. Just crazy shit."

Those are fighting words. Is Salter man enough to back them up? Or is he a coward? If it's such "crazy shit", why has the McCain campaign not released the readily available documents that can prove it's "crazy shit"? Here's what I wrote more than two months ago about the issue when the questions first emerged:

There must be plenty of medical records and obstetricians and medical eye-witnesses prepared to testify to Sarah Palin's giving birth to Trig... So please give us these answers - and provide medical records for Sarah Palin's pregnancy - and put this to rest.

Again, that was in August. It is not an answer to call bloggers "insane" because they are asking factual questions to which there must be evidentiary answers. (Yes, as Ed Morrissey notes, Biden, McCain and Obama have been bad on this as well, and this blog has criticized them for it, especially Biden where I've been relentless, given his aneurysm history. But only Palin has offered nothing at all. And only Palin has a core question of basic credibility at stake. Only Palin has used her medical history - her fifth child - as a campaign plank.)

19. boobjob. nt

[fizzgig]

20. nah

i think she's always been a boob

[Milspec]

22. Oh my God, could that be true...

I can see several different twists in that.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. maybe she had an "you know"

the Christian right would be mortified!

[Butch350]

23. Medical records from a Shrink is not very advantageous !

[madaboutharry]

24. I do think that she is hiding something,

And there is no way of falsifying medical records, not in this day and age.

[Blaze Diem]

25. What? Bristol is Trigg's Mama and now she's pregnant again by Levi?

WTF?
I had believed that Trigg was Track's kid. When Track was being all juvenile delinquent, and then "chose" to go to Iraq to protect the highest ranking officers.
Only thing that makes sense is that Sarah Palin did NOT give birth to this child.

[Hokie]

26. Bristol isn't pregnant

Watch for the phony "unfortunate miscarriage" to happen right after the election. This bunch of bozos from Alaska are so transparent in their deceptions it doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened.

[yorkie]

30. Bristol's "pregnancy"

and I agree-the convenient "about five months" pregnant is just too much-it's"Irish twins" (and I'm Irish) or ...

[Blaze Diem]

31. What?? Bristol isn't pregnant?? WTF again. Why were Bris & Levi being forced to get married then?

What the hell is going on with that freakin family.

When did I lose track of all this?
Trying to follow the Palin family, will make you think you're in a freakin time warp or something.

[Hokie]

32. Umm, what marriage?

Have you heard anything about a marriage lately? No you haven't.

[Blaze Diem]

33. O.K. Just Stop It!!! Stop messing with my head..

I know DU said she was preg.
Bris & Levi were to be 'shotgunned' aft the election.
Jamie Lynn Spears sent her baby gifts & everything.
I read it right here on DU!!
-----
Hmmm.
I gotta take a break for awhile.
That's exactly what I'll do.
& when I come back this page won't be here anymore.
I just gotta get off this computer for a litle while.

ok bye.
hmmm

[yorkie]

37. Bristol's weight..

probably is related to just having given birth and she's still nursing...
But Track is a real other possibility as a father-either way the she devil took in the child to keep her reputation intact.
All I feel the she devil is not the mother of poor little Trig who does not seem to be getting any real attention from his "mother"
I feel there is a real cover-up
I await the medical records

[Blaze Diem]

39. Palin will never release the records unless they are 'fixed'.

Remember when the Bush handlers wiped George & Laura's past completely clean of any wrongdoing? I agree with the above post however, that the Dr. in question may rather save his honor to practice than be drug into court over this someday, & lose his license by altering a patient's records.

I do believe the truth will be revealed someday.
Question: Is it mandatory (law)for Pres/VP contenders to release their medical records? Or is it optional?

[seabeyond]

27. it would take me two minutes... ok maybe a half hour to release my medical records at 47

this is really not a big deal UNLESS she is hiding something

[yorkie]

29. her record of releasing records

It takes a lot of time to doctor regular documents-imagine doctoring doctor documents

[progressiveforever]

34. She's a man

[WheelWalker]

35. In Re: Thomas Eagleton n/t

36. delete dup

[chollybocker]

38. Webbed toes.

And that tattoo on her thigh.
