Palin Says No Truth to Teen Daughter Being Pregnant Out of Wedlock Last Year Because She's Pregnant and Unmarried This Year

Why comment further? During the fall of Rome, the leaders felt they could do no wrong, and dictate to their subjects what was just and pure. She is no different than those that have been in power in this country for many years now. Do as I say, not as I do. And to think I went in the military to fight against the Soviets. It was a wasted effort, as is the current enemy. At least we weren't being killed for thier pipe dream of world domination then. Now they send YOUR kids to die for thier next financial portfolio windfall. OILMEN in charge, as we fight a war for oil, fancy that.

I read where the Enquirer is negotiating for some old photos of Palin. Haven't heard what kind of photos, but I think we can figure it out if the Enquirer is interested. This is going to be a hoot, one more great example of GOP hypocrisy.

Scenario to be considered....When her disappeared daughter's water breaks in Alaska, Mrs Palin announces in Texas that her own water had broken. She then takes an 8 hr flight where stewardesses report she doesnt look pregnant or uncomfortable. Then she takes a long drive past several major hospitals, to a remote medical centre where the delivering doctor was not affiliated, but was in fact a specialist in teenage pregnancies due to rape or abuse. Three days later Mrs Palin reappears at work, still no sign of preganancy. POTUS material? BushCo's follow-up act? Last days of the Roman empire?

Another piece to this.. Even a severe case of Mononucleosis wouldn't keep a child out of school for 5 months. It is usually over in two to four weeks. A really severe case, maybe a couple months, but not five months. Nobody is really talking about that. They are just accepting everything they are told without question. Why is that? Curious that her 5 months away corresponds with the mom being pregnant and giving birth. It's interesting this announcement came out today saying the daughter was 5 months pregnant. Too pregnant to be the mom (baby is 4 months - daughter is 5 months pregnant), it would explain her leftover baby weight beings they are out on the campaign trail and being photographed (if her daughter actually is the mom - am I the only person noticing that her daughter is the one always holding the baby?), and the daughter's due date wouldn't be until after the election if in fact she were really pregnant. It would stop investigating and questions in their tracks and take the spotlight away because it's a private family, matter and children in an election are off limits (something I normally, wholeheartedly agree with). Time will tell the story. The problem is already compounded with all the rest of the holes in this story, the discrepancies, and all the photos and quotes from people who were around the Governor before she gave birth that tell a very different story and raise logical questions. Those questions will need to be answered. Those questions should be easily answered. It is difficult to mess with birth certificates, medical records, hospital records, digital records like ultrasounds, etc.. This story should be easy enough to put to bed. It just doesn't feel right.

The CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA, WolfE boy on Fox's sister station CNN, had Obama on saying that HIS CAMPAIN is not putting out the stories about POLIN, well the only connections that I have to OBAMA campain is One that I am a NEW DEMOCATIC person, I will vote for Obama. But that is my connection to Obama, for I am free to think for my self and get very tired of the CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA CRYING all FAKE tears when the REPUBLICAN PARTY is caught with there pants down, this is a Rove(TURD BLOSSOM) trick, amd LIE-berman and friends trick, when caught cry FOWL and blame the DEMOCRATIC PARTY of playing dirty,and the CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA will have the REPUBLICAN PARTYS BACK. Do not leave this story about Polin fade for it STINKS like one of those ALASKAN FISH CANNERYS.

Actually that rumor was started in Alaska within weeks of her pregnancy announcement when people noticed that Bristol hadn't been seen for a couple of months and for a woman that was 7 months pregnant her figure was still extremely trim and continued immediately after Trig's birth one month later, a month pre-mature. Her water broke, according to her own account, in Texas, after which she gave her 30 minute speech, finished a half hour meet and greet, then flew, commercial air (as she had alread sold the governors jet in 2007) back to Anchorage to give birth. I did go to the Mat Su Regional Medical Center web site where according to Palins spokes person in an April 18, 2008 announcement to the Anchorage Times, that Trig was born. The hospital offers a whole birth roster of babies born there with pics, and family data. On April 18, two babies were born, a boy and a girl but there is no mention of this child being born to these parents. From the 15th to the 20th, no record of a Trig Paxson Van Palin being born to the Palins.

There are just far too many holes in this story. I am a mother of a Down Syndrome child. He was my third. My husband is a doctor. We are both stunned with this story. There are many pieces that obviously don't fit together or make any sense, but the part that does me in is this: she is a 44 year old woman who is pregnant with her 5th child (though not showing at all), who has already been identified as having Down Syndrome, she flies to Dallas to give a speech in Dallas but first her water starts to break and she starts having contractions (yet gives the speech anyways). She then boards a commercial airliner and flies across the country with one stop on her way to Alaska over an eight hour period (the airline stewardesses after being questioned said she was pleasant, seemed in no distress, and didn't appear pregnant at all), and then she drives for another hour to supposedly give birth a month before she was due (as in premature)at a medical center that now doesn't show a baby with that name being born, and the doctor who delivered (who just happened to be the medical director) is no long on staff. Then she shows up at work three days later. For starters, with each consecutive pregnancy, the likelihood is that the birth is much faster - especially after the water breaks. She had a high risk birth with the known Down Syndrome factor. As a mother of a special needs child, you would NEVER put your infant in that kind of risk by flying for 8 hours where there is no medical care available, and you put the entire list of passengers and crew at risk. You don't know what will happen during those eight hours. Why would you do that? Secondly, no doctor in their right mind who is practicing and has their license to consider (let alone their malpractice insurance to pay) would tell a 44 year old woman, pregnant with a Down Syndrome baby, who is having contractions and her water is breaking, and she is a month ahead of her due date.. No doctor that actually cares about their license would tell this mother it was okay to get on a flight for 8 hours. It just wouldn't happen. I'm not even touching the rest of the holes.. I'm just not buying this story. This woman is either out of her mind, lacks total judgment and is totally irresponsible, or is fabricating an enormous hoax to cover a private family matter. Not only that, but if it is a fabrication, she is using this infant to push her social agenda by saying that they decided to have this child because they don't believe in abortion under any circumstance. People are using this birth as a way to hold her up as brave, and strong. That makes the baby a political pawn. I could accept that this was an honorable loving act that they privately chose to do for their daughter (if that is the case) if she wasn't holding her daughter up to be humiliated in front of the entire country to further her own political career. She puts her children at risk and exposure. That is unacceptable and not worthy of someone possibly being in position to be president of the US. This is what matters here. Her judgment, her credibility, and her character. It is very tough and very time consuming being the parent of an infant with Down Syndrome. It is a huge commitment as a parent. She went back to work three days later.. I have to say this makes no sense.

Abstinance for the win. Gotta love Rethuglican stupidity. Comic Book Guy says "Worst people ever".

Wouldn't the baby daddy be guilty of statutory rape since the girl is 17? Just sayin'.. This whole thing is sickening on so many levels. My brother said only yesterday that he and his friends were guffawing about how "hot" Sarah Palin in and how cool it would be to have her as president at some point. I don't agree at all. I think she looks like a holy roller and has the hypocritical and false "morals" of the fundamentalists. "Wholesome" on the outside, slutty on the inside. Barak Obama, stay cool and be yourself through this circus and you'll be President soon.

JERRY SPRINGER!

So THIS is the best "dirt" that anyone can come up with on Palin? She has a daughter who screwed around and got pregnant? This is precisely the line of trivial thinking that has caused the Democratic party to lose seven of the last ten presidential elections. Policy for policy, there is no way that Obama can lose. Getting personal on these kinds of stupid "issues" is going to do nothing but ensure that McCain/Palin occupy the White House for the next four years. Don't start playing this game.

It is remarkable that McCain purports to have 'watched' Sarah Palin "for many, many years" when she has only been active in anything larger than local politics since 2002. It is quite possible that he is merely delusional and confusing episodes of "Northern Exposure" with real life.

My gut instinct is telling me that the Republicans have finally done their version of the Eagleton pick.

Is Jeb Bush going to be this year's Sargent Shriver?

I wonder if anyone remembers Sarah drinking alcohol during her pregnancy? A glass or two of wine with dinner ...beer,,,

...so after BUZZFLASH has rationalized its coverage of this stupid non-issue into the ground, what exactly will we progressives have gained for the long run?

I am an Air Force vet and I am shocked as to the "story" of Sarah Palin and the story surrounding the birth of her 5th child. First, let me just say her daughter's situation is none of our business - leave the girl alone. But to the birth of Trig, that's a different subject because it involves some basic decision making. My wife and I were put on an emergency medevac flight from Japan to California when she was found to potentially have a high-risk situation for the premature birth of our child. Since it was discovered in the 3rd trimester, the flight was a bit risky in her condition ( 8 and a half months) - but it was the only way to get her to a facility with the technology needed at that time. During the flight, she was put in a litter and was kept lying down with IV's the entire way, nurses continously keeping track of her vitals. Fast-forward to the Palin story. Obviously there could be circumstances about the entire "story" that would explain everything if it were known. However, as it stands now - through the information I have read to date - I am a stunned. A woman, who professes to be a right to life politician, knowingly delays going to an emergency room after her water breaks while she knowingly is carrying a Down's Syndrome child and knows it will be many hours until she returns "home" to deliver her 5th child. It's that series of decision-making (about something that should be THE MOST important priority in her life - not a speech or any piece of local, state or national politics) that really makes me scratch my head and wonder about the entire scenario. So I'm wondering what was she thinking?

Somewhere a soap opera is missing it's script writer.

I can hear Europe laughing from here.

she has had a miscarriage and the story is over.

ROTFLMAO. Yup. I predict another Harriet Miers scenario...

This is a whole 'nother level of weird, and I don't buy it. My first thought about all of this was that I couldn't imagine a parent who, having responsibility for a tiny, 4 month old infant with Down Syndrome, would indulge their unwarranted ambition for a post she or he was clearly not qualified for. (I mean, it is not like Governor Palin has some great gift or ability or experience that is vital for the future of the country. Please, Governor, don't sacrifice your sweet child for us! It really isn't necessary!) Now, if this too-convenient teen pregnancy story is true, it compounds my concerns about Gov Palin. She has a teenaged, pregnant daughter, and she wants to thrust HER and this sad situation into the heat of a national campaign? Her instinct is to put her daughter out there (knowing, too, all the rumors that have been circulating in Alaska for MONTHS about her daughter and this baby) in the spotlight, as her condition, literally, grows? Again, I don't buy it. If, as CBS's coverage suggests, this new announcement was made to stop bloggers from speculating about this goofy pregnancy and Texas flight story, all the Palins had to do was show a birth certificate. It's a national political campaign, and candidates really do have to expect and cooperate with all manner of intrusive questions. It's just the way it is. What's the big deal about releasing a birth certificate, anyway? So instead of just showing a birth certificate, or explaining why there is nothing in the published record of the hospital about the birth of Baby Trig, they prefer to make a statement that their young, unmarried daughter is NOW pregnant! Does anyone else find this absolutely outrageous?? It's intrusive to be asked for a birth certificate, but not a problem to expose your daughter's private, sad situation in a public announcement? When there is an alternative? Mark my words--poor Bristol will be out of sight from now on, and about the time of the expected delivery we will hear that the baby was adopted, or lost, and everyone will forget the sordid little family drama we were witness to. I really don't buy it.

I'm sick and tired of DKOS Diarist NOT giving trackbacks to the people who really do the work! I'm not going to take it anymore and if you steal from me I'm going to call you on it! 21 hours after this was posted the DKOS Diarist posted our research of this subject! They even copy and pasted some people remarks then posted them as his own. Who's Your Momma? Did Sarah Palin have the Baby or, her 16 year old daughter? WHOA!!! Aug 29 2008, 05:56 PM Cover-up? Alaska Gov. Palin ® announced she was pregnant. Local rumors suggest she is covering up for her 16 y/o daughter. jibegod posted: Second post the first post was today 4 month after the thread started. On March 5th, 2008 Alaska's Republican Governor, Sarah Palin, announced to the media that she was 7 months pregnant with her 5th child. She is currently 44. The controversy arises from two sources: First, Palin does not appear pregnant in any recent photographs. The announcement came as quite a shock to people who had worked closely with her, and have been quoted as saying that she did not appear pregnant whatsoever during the prior 7 months. While this is debatable, you can judge for yourself here: http://gov.state.ak.us/photos.php The State of Alaska has REMOVED the photo! But I saw it and she had on tight pants with a very flat stomach. Second, Palin's daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono. Apparently, this rumor has made the rounds in the upper echelon of the Alaska legislature, and is a closely guarded secret. As far as I know, this rumor has not been discussed by any media outlets, in Alaska or otherwise. The points here are based mostly upon hearsay, and I'm not trying to destroy an innocent family. However, a Republican politician hiding a pregnant teenage daughter seems rather newsworthy. http://www.reddit.com/comments/6f3nq/cover...nounced_she_was AND then there is this: What woman who's had 4 kids has her water break in Texas gets on a plane that take hours to get to Alaska and then delivers. Sorry I've had 2 and the more ya have the faster they come into this world. The baby delivers one month early and she didn't KNOW she was in labor after 4 kids? HORSE PADDY'S! Governor cuts Texas trip short, gives birth ONE MONTH EARLY: Palin flew home to deliver 6-pound Trig. By KYLE HOPKINS khopkins@adn.com Published: April 19th, 2008 12:32 AM Last Modified: April 19th, 2008 02:39 AM Gov. Sarah Palin gave birth to her fifth child at 6:30 a.m. Friday, flying home from a conference in Texas to have the baby boy at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. Meet Trig Paxson Van Palin. He's 6 pounds, 2 ounces, and about a month early. "It was quite a surprise," said Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow. Palin and her husband, Todd, had been in Texas since Tuesday for a Republican Governors Association convention, Leighow said. The Palin family issued a statement that read: "Trig is beautiful and already adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives." Asked what special challenges the family was referring to, Leighow said, "It's a family matter, and that information should come from the governor herself." Leighow said Palin and her son were healthy and resting comfortably Friday. The sequence of events surrounding the labor was unclear. An announcement from the state said that Palin's "labor began (Thursday) while she was in Texas at the governor's energy conference, where she gave the keynote luncheon address, but let up enough for her to travel on Alaska Airlines back to Alaska in time to deliver her second son." Leighow said she doesn't know when Palin's contractions began. "The governor would have never left Texas if she thought that it put her child at risk," she said. Palin's parents, Chuck and Sally Heath, declined to be interviewed. Like the rest of Alaskans, Leighow said, she learned the baby's name on Friday. http://www.adn.com/front/story/380560.html

i was looking for something strange..... OFF THE WALL.... crazy... something FROM THE ONION... like.... McCain picks WET T-SHIRT competition for his MILF wife as the candidate for VEEP. but that seemed UNBELIEVABLE... so i added.... lets make her a GUN TOTING, MOOSE CHEWING, FUNDI MOTHER living in the ALASKAN OUTBACK. Maybe give her NO EXPERIENCE and a VIDEO asking "so what does the VEEP do for a living"... as she leaves her trailer. AHHH... STILL NOT ENOUGH.... let's have her husband work for THE OIL INDUSTRY... and toss in a PREGO DAUGHTER... and SOME POLITICAL SCANDAL about ABUSE OF POWER.... -------------------------sadly.... i am still awaiting word that her brother is a crack-whore and that through a tracing of her family tree she is indeed HER OWN GRANDMA !!!! AS A DEMOCRAT.... I FINALLY HAVE PROOF THAT THERE IS A GOD ..........AND THAT SHE IS IN HEAVEN LAUGHING HER ASS OFF ! ! !! ! !

We have NO idea whether Sarah Palin is telling the truth about "Bristol being 5 months pregnant". Doesn't anyone else find it interesting that the statement makes the EXACT claim which would "prove" Bristol couldn't be Trig's mother BECAUSE she is 5 months pregnant now, but without addressing the actual claim that Bristol is Trig's mother? Actually, without ANY mention of Trig. If, and at this point I must think if, Bristol is pregnant again, I predict she isn't 5 months along yet, or that we will be told in October that poor Bristol "lost" the pregnancy. Thus "proof" will be all gone, and they - the anti-sex education, flat-earth fundamentalists - and McCain can get an October surprise sympathy vote. "Poor Bristol", used mercilessly by her fundamentalist, crazy mother for political gain. Reporters need to ask Sarah Palin about abstinence only and no sex education and just WHY she wants to make it public policy for ALL of us when it doesn't work for anyone, even her own family.

This all has to be framed as an example of McBane's poor judgment. How can he lead the United States of America if he rushes into poor judgments like this last one? She was barely vetted at all. I'm sure all they verified was that she is a staunch, pro-life Conservative who has never been raped by an ape. TS

I'm curious how the fundies will spin this. Their cognitive dissonance knows no boundary whatsoever. Indeed... Bristol has no boundaries. 1. How old is the boy who got her pregnant. How old was Bristol when she first missed her period. I want to know if statutory rape is at issue here. I have no idea what state law says in AK about such things. Does anyone know? 2. What kind of message does this send to youth? I can answer that one at least partially. The message is that abstinence doesn't work and you WILL get pregnant when you fuck without contraception. Oh, I forgot. We're not supposed to tell our kids about sex. Sorry. I forgot. 3. What kind of message is this for AK voters? How about to fundie (McCain's base) voters? She HID this very important item from public view until it was forced out into the open. Okay, it's not like everyone goes around and says "Look, my 16 year old daughter is pregnant and not married! Yippee!" but won't fundies take this to task? Oh, I nearly forgot. My premise is cognitive dissonance. They will spin this positively no matter how it happened. 4. I realize this is reconcilable to fundies who supported that whacko polygamy colony in TX, but I've got news for them. This is not something we do everywhere. My God. The rest of the world must think we're the stupidest population of people on the planet.

This is too much, they should give the Palin family their own reality show. Of course it would be too spicy for primetime television. Everyday something new jumps out of the box with these Republicans. I can not wait for the hypocritical spin on this one by Faux News.
