    ^ He did, and I must say I thought it was a bit cliched- they showed the black husband playing the blues guitar.

    An elderely, retired couple- black. She had rheumatoid arthritis, they were no longer covered by health insurance as he had retired from his company, so they had to mortgage their house to pay for her medical treatment.

    US vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin has become the victim of a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as the French president.
    Marc Antoine Audette convinced Alaska's governor she was speaking to Nicholas Sarkozy during a six-minute chat aired on a Montreal radio programme.
    Topics discussed ranged from the beauty of Mr Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni, to the prospect of a joint hunting trip.

    A spokesperson for Mrs Palin said she was "mildly amused" by the prank. At one point during the phone call, aired three days before the US election, Mr Audette told Mrs Palin he could see her as president one day. Laughingly, the Republican candidate replied: "Maybe in eight years."

    Palin is the only candidate in this election not to release her medical records. She promised to release them but has not.

    Honestly, there has got to be something there:

    Still No Medical Records From Palin

    November 01, 2008

    ABC News' Kate Snow reports: With three days left until the election, the John McCain campaign still has not, despite frequent requests, released any information about vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's medical history, prompting some well-warranted skepticism.

    Of course there are plenty of perfectly innocent explanations. The governor is perfectly healthy and the campaign feels no public pressure to release information? The doctor is on vacation and unreachable? The dog ate their records?
    There are also more sinister explanations. But we won't go there.

    Last Sunday morning, Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt told ABC News that Palin's staff planned to release information regarding her medical history "early in the week."

    That was six days ago. ABC News has asked repeatedly about the status of the release of information and received no updates from the campaign. It is unclear what is holding things up.

    "We'll let you know when we have something to say," spokeswoman Maria Comella said on Thursday. Today she had no comment when asked again.

    Aides suggested privately that there was nothing to hide in the records, but that it was simply taking a while to call doctors and round up the appropriate information to release.

    It was ten days ago that Governor Palin said she would be "fine" with releasing her records.

    She is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself.

    Palin did suggest that releasing her records could be fodder for political attacks of some kind.


    "So be it, if that will allow some curiosity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over. Fine. I'm healthy, I'm happy, had five kids. That is going to be in the medical records. Never been seriously ill or hurt. You will see that in the medical records if they're released," Palin told NBC's Brian Williams on October 22.

    Oh fek, Milky, I'm more interested in Obama's aunty being on social security and living in subsidised housing for five or six years as an illegal immigrant. Why ain't that big news? Focus on Palin's health card now to take the pressure off this issue is all I see.

    If you're more interested in Obama's aunt, then why did you post on this thread?

    You can post about his aunt on the appropriate thread.

    This thread is about Sarah Palin. Therefore her refusal to release her medical records, as the VP candidate of a 72 year Presidential candidate is fair, normal standard and appropriate.

    She's on crack. She's more out of control than Witney. They've got her on Oxycondone and tramadol to try and balance her out during the day. She's been on a marathon binge.

    Palin may be a savior.
    she is the darling of the religious nut cases. She could cause a division in the GOP .. split the biblical gubbers from the true conservatives.

    no one but a dummie evangelical would vote for her & hopefully they will insist on voting for her.
    all upper crust non-evangelical GOPers have dissed her as totally unqualified .. & yet she draws huge crowds of adoring jesus freeks

    she could provide the route for Dim dominance for quite a while by separating out the biblical nut cases into a separate party (where they belong!)
    as long as there are tests, there will be prayers in public schools.

    there are pics on the web of her a few weeks before delivery with no bump .. she was huge with her other kids.
    there have been reports of her flying from dallas to ak to have the baby in wasilla with the reputed delivery by here non-ob friend .. no records have been provided by the wasilla hospital of the celebrity birth
    I wondered if that was why she will not provide medical records .. & medical records are 'always' provided in presidential candidates.

    the daughter was under 17 when impregnated .. statutory rape?

    McCain's records were less than comprehensive for a 72YO cancer survivor.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Palin's Evangelical Movement Urges 'Godly' To 'Plunder' Wealth of 'Godless'

    the New Apostolic Reformation is Sarah Palin's chosen religious and political movement
    Sarah Palin is closely associated, as noted in a recent New York Times story, with "spiritual warfare", an aggressive approach to evangelizing developed by the leaders of a worldwide religious movement which promotes a religiously based wealth transfer scheme as a means to implement theocracy.

    C. Peter Wagner proclaimed, on June 21, 2006, that "God has declared through His prophets that the wealth of the wicked will be released to the Kingdom of God," and Wagner declared, threateningly, "the enemies' camp will be plundered."

    an independent research team that has specialized in studying Sarah Palin's faith, contains ground breaking information on a religious movement Sarah Palin is tied to and which advocates that its members "plunder" the wealth of the "godless".

    The movement holds international conferences on advancing Christian hegemony in the business sector

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>

    there is a lot of comedy in her idiocy .. but her fellow jesus freaks have plans for religion hegemony through financial domination of the 3rd world.

    After an unbelievable barrage of smear articles from the Lamestream media, an independent investigation by Alaska’s State Personnel Board has cleared Sarah Palin of wrongdoing in the media-dubbed “Troopergate” case.


    Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin did not violate state ethics rules as governor when she fired her state police commissioner and allegedly tried to engineer the firing of her brother-in-law from the Alaska State Troopers, an investigator for Alaska’s State Personnel Board found in a report released on the eve of the election.


    The exoneration by the State Personnel Board contradicts the findings of an Alaska state legislative investigator, who ruled last month that Palin abused executive power when she and her husband engaged in a campaign to oust Mike Wooten, her former brother-in-law, from state trooper payroll...
