To rebut rumors, Palin says daughter, 17, pregnant
Mon Sep 1, 2008 12:02pm EDT
ST. PAUL (Reuters) - The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.
Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the
Is this just too much of a coincidence?

That's not going to go over to well with the evangelicals, that she supposed to help McCain with. See what I mean that perhaps the "McCain didn't Vet" Report might actually be correct? Oh and the Alaskan legislature report on the so-dubbed "Troopergate" is out on October 31st. And for the first time since...ever perhaps....Alaska's state congress will do something that may have national implications.

I don't know...in this day & age, an unwed, pregnant teenager is not all that earthshattering a news story. I would think the evangelicals would be more outraged had she aborted the pregnancy. Anyway...I thought it was the former Hillary supporters Palin was supposed to help McCain with.  Whatever shoe fits, right, JustLou??? Apple

Apple Anyone remember that report years back in 2000 of how McCain got an abortion for his daughter, and that report riled up Bush/Pro-Lifers? I always wondered if that story was true or not.

No. She was supposed help him with both, along with all the social conservatives. It's turning out that in reality she's "Jack of all trades, master of none".

What I'm saying is, that along with 'experience' was the mantra this whole past weekend after McCain announced her on Friday.
Now, of course with this piece of news the shift changes (for the moment), and you and others like you will grasp at tidbit you can sink your fingernails into. But go ahead, have your fun...

Board ladies: surf over to the link on the Drudge Report and look at the pictures of Palin when she was supposed to be 7 months pregnant and give us your opinion. Link? Look down the left hand side.

Well, I cannot speak for DJ but I have no need to 'report' on every statement and/or issue pertaining to every candidate, even those on the other side. The stuff I post here is the stuff I find most interesting. But what the heck...as long as you're doing our 'ideological job' for us (proud Republican that you are)...why spend the energy? Apple

Obama just released a strong statement:
"I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits," Obama said. "And people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."
On charges that his campaign has stoked the story via liberal blogs:
"I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us," he said. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired." A really good statement, and full of shit. Technically its true, I supposed. If he meant "we" as in the campaign, then sure but the leftie blogs aren't associated directly (i.e. funded/managed) by the campaign. Its like that "Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth" nonsense from 4 years ago, it wasn't part of the Bush campaign. But it did hammer away at Kerry as an ally of Bush's campaign, as such are the leftie blogs are for Obama.

Ok, you know what? It's very difficult to raise a teenager today, and I have two girls in their teens. Never in a million years would I sit in judgment on anyone's parenting skills. Her daughter is pregnant, and their family is dealing with it in a way that they feel is the wisest choice for everyone.
However, Governor Palin had to know that, once she accepted this nomination, her daughter would be having this baby in the media's glare. I don't think I would do that to my daughter. It's hard enough to be 17 and pregnant. I certainly wouldn't want my daughter to have to do it with the world watching.
As for the rumors about her being Trig's grandmother, I would tend to think not. He has Downs Syndrome, which is most common in women how give birth later in life.
