What exactly does she not want us to know?

17. That may the main reason she is holding back-not being pg in the past year!

2. I've never fully understood why we need to have access to a candidate's medical records.
What medical condition/history would disqualify someone?

16. That's not what I asked.
I asked what medical condition would disqualify someone from serving and you cited cancer. I asked if cancer should bar someone from service and you said that you wouldn't want them in office but you didn't answer my question.

Do you believe that someone with cancer (or other terminal illness) should be disallowed from public office?

25. First off...settle down. Secondly, I merely posed possibilities.
Cancer, in and of itself, is not a specific reason to disqualify someone but I would have to judge a person who was far along with it and why they'd want the job with such a risk.

22. I've had cancer ..just recently finished up up chemo treatments, and politiicans
Edited on Fri Oct-31-08 01:21 PM by Doityourself
allow insurance companies and other entities to inquire about my health, and even allow some to hold it against me, why shouldn't I be allowed to inquire about theirs???

I also think, depending upon the stage, it is very revelant, as it would be with any disease.

30. Psychotic behavior... brain tumors...
Recurring cancer...

It would be risky putting an ill person in the White House.

28. google palin pregnancy pictures...
seriously. there are pictures of her at 6 and 7 months pregnant and she not even showing. i'm sorry, a 44 year old on her 5th? she would have been showing by the end of month 2.

I really really hope we can get that out before the election.

20. If we don't see them by tonight, then we never will. No one in the media
is going to actually call her on the lie about releasing them.

My guess as to what they show that she thinks people will have a problem with:

Either 1)Plastic surgery of some type; or more likely 2)Mental health treatment of some type.

Remember - mental health issues took out Eagleton all those years ago. Not sure if today's electorate is any more enlightened.

32. Five kids? I'm thinking PPD and/or just plain ol' regular Depression...
It's very common for Alaskans to be on anti-depressants (lack of sunlight). Actually the fact that it's known that she has a personal tanning bed to me is de facto evidence of battling some kind of Depression (whether it's PPD or clinical depression).

Wow - I just made another leap as I'm writing this - if she was taking anti-depressants while pregnant - I believe it's contraindicated - not 100% sure though.

24. Unless she is mandated by Law...she'll never release them.
That's the AIP Grifter in her.
Screw America.

34. I'm guessing it ain't happening--the MSM should be all over it, but of course they aren't.
