    it's pretty long......... but I believe it..


    She tells the world that she's the mother of Trig, but lies in doing so.... Trig is apparently the kid of her 17 year old daughter...

    Maybe...or maybe not. Some of those photos she does look kind of pregnant in and others she really doesn't. She actually looks like she could be pregnant in that video...why don't they have any of her beyond 7 months?

    It's not like she stopped making appearances.


    But just say she did...what would a pro-lifer do if their underage child got pregnant....have the baby aborted?

    They'd never do that.

    They'd do something like rasing the child as their own instead of having the baby aborted so their daughter could still have a normal life....it's an alternative to abortion, and there are families that do it. And if you announce you are doing it you kind of undermine giving your daughter a chance to have a normal life.


    Even if she did do it she's just going to use it as an example of an alternative to abortion, it's not going to make her look like a hypocrite. Her daughter having an abortion would have. It won't alienate the pro-lifers and it's going to piss a lot of people off that the KOS went after her daughter and baby.

    Here is a another progressive alternative to abortion: the mother takes responsibility for her actions, has the baby, and raises it as her own without the need to hide it from anyone.

    If this was true I don't see how the secret could be kept. I have a seventeen year old daughter and one thing they do is talk more to their friends than they do their parents. Plus you would have some boy demanding a paternity test. Unless the father comes from the same type of uptight family.

    "Went after" implies an attack or made up . It seems the only thing KOS "went after" was the truth.

    If she did this, McCain should drop her tomorrow for lack of judgment. I'm sure they asked her if she had anything that would come back on them. I'd say a lie of this size qualifies. It makes his campaign look like they don't know how to properly vet a VP candidate.

    I'm not sure whether I believe it or not. Despite the stats in the article, it's much more likely for a woman over 40 to have a Down's Syndrome baby than a teenager girl. Plus, she does looking a little thicker in some of the pictures than she was earlier. I've read that the daughter didn't really miss that much time from school as this article indicates .. that she only missed a month or two for mono.

    Who knows at this point, but it's interesting.

    From the March of Dimes:

    The risk of Down syndrome increases from about 1 in 1,250 at age 25, to 1 in 1,000 at age 30, 1 in 400 at age 35, 1 in 100 at age 40 and 1 in 30 at age 45.
    Obviously not impossible that her daughter had the baby, but stats lean the other way.

    She's showed horrible judgment, either way. The cover up would be bad. Flying around at 8 months leaking amniotic fluid could possibly be worse for someone construed as pro-life.

    And the following photograph was printed in the Anchorage Daily News, on March 9th:
    However the date the picture was taken was in '06.

    What difference does it make one way or the other. If it is her daughters
    child and she and her husband adopts it. Then it is her child, she will raise it as her child.

    Besides using the dimm-o-crap standard this should only be a resume enhancement. You know like Edwards going up on his speaking fees since he got caught. Dimms should support her, don't you think.

    And DailKos is not what you would call an unbiased pub.

    Because it makes her a liar.

    Agreed. Just going by the stats Kori mentioned, it seems unlikely -- just slightly more likely than Obama's being a Muslim sleeper agent.

    More troubling is the names of her kids. Track? Trig? Bristol? That shows terrible judgment. Terrible.

    Not in the true sense of the word. It makes her a Mother of her Daughter, who she wants to protect.

    The thing I really don't understand in all of this, hospitals have to keep records which are public. You know like Births/Deaths. And births have to be recorded. Maternity wards have upteen people working in them. Now I find it hard to believe that she could go in a hospital, not have a child, but her daughter did, and how many people would be aware of it. And hospital records would have to be altered, doctors records altered, how many records would have to altered/falsified? Too many places this little plan could go wrong and too many records exist to prove her Daughter is the true mother. And the source of this story doesn't cite any of these records, does it?

    It's all conjecture. Very leading cir stantial evidence -- I mean, if she had to run to where her daughter was prematurely having a baby, getting on the next flight post-haste and driving out to an obscure hospital once in Alaska instead of the larger, more obvious ones nearby, this is how she'd do it.

    And it's lying and deeply dishonest if she were masking her child's pregnancy. Not to mention will screw them all up at some point psychologically.

    But I'm not buying it.

    It's hers. And she put her baby and herself in threat by jumping on the plane.

    Yes in the true sense of the word.

    If she tells a lie, it makes her a liar. I don't even think this is true, but your making morally relativist excuses for her in advance is quite entertaining.

    It's hers. One of my friends said the smear campaign by the left against Palin would be ridiculous. It appears they've upped the ante early.

    When someone photoshops her in muslim garb and claims she's not really an American because like Hawaii, Alaska isn't part of the "real" America, then it'll be on par with the ridiculousness of the '08 campaign so far.

    Come on, how many photoshops of W. have boutons and Dan graced us with?

    The Muslim headress stuff is stupid. I have a bigger problem with Obama being unapologetic about his relationship with people like Ayers than any of that stupid .

    The GOP is unrivalled in smear campaigns. McCain knows that. He got killed by it in 2000 when Rove started a whisper campaign about his black baby knowing it would kill him with the racists making up the party.

    The girl who was adopted. Bridget.

    Who, curiously enough, you never see in pictures anymore.





    She's disappeared off the face of the earth. Wonder how that feels, to be asked to stay away.

    This is a ridiculous accusation. It seems that some people have been watching too much Desperate Housewives. Plus, wft does it matter? If she did do anything, she did it to protect her daughter. How can you fault her for that?

    This reminds me of the idiotic "Obama is not a citizen" smear.

    There are more things to worry about with Palin than the possibility that she covered up her daughter's pregnancy. Things like that fact that she is completely unqualified to be on a presidential ticket, doesn't have any interest in national security or foreign policy, and has extreme positions on social issues.
