Is Sarah Palin covering for her 16yr old daughter?

[OCinBuffalo]

I guess the rumor up in Alaska has been that Palin wasn't pregnant at all and that she was covering for her 16 year old daughter. Sounds far-fetched to me but who knows.

No it doesn't, Molson, you have proven on multiple occasions that you will believe anything MoveOn.org or Daily Kos says, as long as it means Republicans or Bush look bad. Care to explain the 1000s of posts you have put up from those websites exactly the same as this one, and at the same time try to tell us that only this one looks "far-fetched"? Laughable. So is this your attempt at a "watered-down" Molson_Golden?

ugh...again...do you know how intensive the vetting process is? No way is this true. This is going to backfire against liberals.

True, but do you honestly think that it will stop them? It didn't stop Dan Rather with the phony Air-Guard letter from the 60's which had type that wouldn't be invented for 20 years-->that one still makes me smile, because it suddenly made this professor of fonts and printing the most important man in the world for 24 hours. It didn't stop the NY Times with the phony McCain "affair".

 

We are talking about people who have been blinded by their hate, or who weren't very mentally stable to begin with(um, they think socialism is a good idea still even though it has been an abject failure everywhere it has been tried beyond 50 people-->what else is there to say?), or who are looking for any excuse to be dishonest about their perceived "enemy", because they stand to gain power. Given that accurate description of the Daily Kos, and all the rest of the retards, I don't think it will stop them. The national air-guard letter put Bush over the top last time. Unfortunately for these dumbasses, they tend to learn nothing from history, on every issue, not just this one, and will therefore probably do it to themselves again. Of course they will then proceed to blame everybody else when they cause their "side" to lose. Can I get a "Nader's 100k votes in Florida in 2000" from anyone? If 10% of those go for Gore, he wins! But I forgot, it's not the left's fault, because they are too smart to make mistakes, or do anything so patently retarded for their "side" as ensuring a Bush victory.

Permit me to play conspiracy theorist-They may have vetted her and found out the pregnancy cover-up was true but determined that their really isn't a smoking gun and if the Dem's tried to use this it would make them look really bad. In this case having a female VP with baggage could help McCain more than one without baggage.

No. Just as before Molson, JK, whatever, why should we? This thread is predicated on a link at a propaganda site, dummy!.

1)Thousands of posts? I think you're thinking of someone else

2)Why would I lie and say this was far-fetched if I didn't think it was far-fetched?

[Mike in Syracuse]

That based on your intensive medical background and deep insider knowledge of the situation or your politics?

 

No get back to blaming Pataki for running NYS into the ground, as if his brand of "leadership" is any different than anyone in either party in NYS.

 

 

Actually Cuomo screwed up the state more than Pataki but wackey Pataki just kept building up the debt.

 

Did you figure out how your Guard leading Governor is completely unaware of whats going on in a 5 year old war yet?

[/dev/null]

I have no medical expertise on the matter so this is just my opinion based off what I have been told about Downs Syndrome

 

When I was a kid there was another kid in the neighborhood who had Downs. He was the youngest of 6 or so kids, one of which was my age. Talking to the sibling that was my age, he said that the older a mother gets the more likely she will have a child with Downs Syndrome. Their mother had the Downs child in her 40s

 

If that's true, then it is much more likely that the 43 year old gave birth to child with Downs than the younger woman of prime child bearing age

[buckeyemike]

If that's true, then it is much more likely that the 43 year old gave birth to child with Downs than the younger woman of prime child bearing age

 

This is correct. BTW, we now have mothers giving birth in their 60s, so it is certainly not unusual for a 43 year old woman to have a fifth child. The odds of having a Downs child go way up past 40 or 41.

 

Also, my mother was born when my grandmother was 43 (Mom is the youngest of eight). That was very unusual in the year she was born, 1935. It's much safer now for a woman to have healthy children well into her 40s and even past 50, but the Downs risk is still there.

 

Heck, Kim's nearing 40 and we're discussing children. We currently have none.

1)Thousands of posts? I think you're thinking of someone else

2)Why would I lie and say this was far-fetched if I didn't think it was far-fetched?

Answer to 1)

Because you have all the characteristics:

1. starting at least 3 questionable at best, normally nonsense, threads a day

2. can't concede a fact even when you are beaten over the head with it by 5 different posters from all sides of the political spectrum

3. can barely construct a logical argument, and are only batting 1 for 5 on doing that with each new thread that you start

4. blind Republican-Bush Bad opinion on everything

5. no balance to your writings, and no fairness, to the point of stating the ridiculous as fact

6. quoting from propaganda web sites like it's your job to drive traffic to those D-bag sites(which wouldn't be a surprise to me in the slightest, since that is their business model and old George Soros is only going to keep the faucet on for so long, and then they have to start making money-->see "Why Air America died")

 

of Molson_Golden. I can't imagine why I think that...

 

Answer to 2)

Because Molson would, and see answer 1 for why I think you are Molson

Whoops...looks like the Daily Kos "story" is starting to crumble

 

"Specifically the reports focused on the 17 year olds stomach, with the rumor perpetuated by the Daily KoS website and others that reported on the rumors.

 

The photo that KoS used and claimed was taken on March 9, 2008, was taken in Wasilla, Alaska in 2006. The photo was taken by Lester, from the Anchorage Daily News. (URL linked above to the Anchorage Daily News photo gallery) KoS then provided photos from 2008 which showed the same type of belly fat.

 

"Sarah Palin at home with her family in Wasilla, Alaska in 2006. From left is Piper, 5, husband Todd, Willow, 12, and at right is Bristol, 16. Not pictured is Palin's son Track, 17. Trig Palin was born in 2008."

 

Baby Trig Palin, a Downs Syndrome baby, was born on April 18, 2008.

 

No matter how you do the math, there is no way a girl can be pregnant from 2006 to April of 2008."

AND this..

 

"Last night, Republican supporters claimed the speculation was a vicious attempt to discredit John McCain's surprise choice as his running mate.

 

Officials in the McCain camp said it was 'clearly absurd'. Aides said there were photographs of Mrs Palin looking visibly pregnant before she gave birth."

...Palin wasn't pregnant at all and that she was covering for her 16 year old daughter...

 

 

...McCain admits to meeting Palin on only one occasion...

 

(Sorry, but this joke is just sitting out there)

 

And McCain denies ever meeting Bristol.

[ExiledInIllinois]

What is the chance that a 16 year old has a Down syndrome baby?... The odds gotta be very low (probably in the +1-10,000 range)... Now a 44 year, the risk is extremely high (probably around the 1-500 range).

 

The "triple test" would have picked it up on the opposite end of spinal bifida... That is exactly what happened to my wife with our first (boy) back in 1998... We sweat bullets for 2+ months until the amnio confirmed it wasn't DS. Man did I do some heavy praying... But, We would have wanted to be prepared at birth had it been DS.

 

I have so much sympathy for the Palin's .

My best with it Mike... My wife is 41 and after what happened 10 years ago (read above)... Having our daughter in 2002 was nerve racking when she was 35. The automatic amnio is suggested above 35.

 

With DS it is really roulette... you gotta be looking in the 1-100 range soon!

 

Best luck and do the research!

[ExiledInIllinois]

The governor said she won't take a maternity leave but will bring Trig with her to work. Her spokesperson later clarified, at Palin's request, that the governor will take time off for medical appointments, physical therapy and whatever Trig needs.

 

Ya, right... Can we all do this?

If she worked a "normal" 9-5, then I could see taking issue w/ her taking an hour or 2 out of the day to get her child to the Dr's office.

 

My guess is that she puts in far more than 40 hours / week. No idea how she works campaigning in w/ her "day" job, but there are at least 3 other people moonlighting this fall, so it'll probably work out.

A DS child?

 

I think it is the exact opposite... She makes enough money to have hire caregiver. Granted, I am all for a very liberal child work policy... Now if she brings this to the table as Veep... The Repubs could catch lightning in a bottle!

I'd be very surprised if she doesn't have a "nanny" helping w/ the care; but regardless, I don't see a problem w/ her taking time to get Trig to the Dr.

 

As manufacturing continues to become a smaller %age of our economy, I would expect flexible hours to become more prevalent. (The downside to flex hours is that you are essentially expected to be available 24/7.) Provided the job doesn't require the employee to be available at particular hours, I don't see a problem w/ flex hours (or working from the home for that matter).

 

Even in your job, (and I have no idea how much, if any, flexibility you have) I can see a lot of room for flexible hours. When you have to be operating the lock, there isn't much any room for flexibility, but if you are painting a room in a building does it matter if you do it at 1PM or 1AM? Or if you are mowing a lawn, does it matter if it's mowed at 10AM or 1PM?

[Steely Dan]

I think this is probably BS but I am intrigued by this picture of her family and would like to know when it was taken. Her daughter looks pregnant to me but she could just have a spare tire.

 

EDIT: Sarah Palin at the energy convention on Feb. 26, 2008, in Washington, D.C. She looked big from the posterior view.

I am sorry... I don't either. I was commenting on taking him to work.

 

True... But there is always the safety issue with my job... Steel toes... Pants, etc... Yet, at times it is like chewing gum and walking... Other locks are more industrial with winches and tow haulages though.

Exactly! Sarah Palin looked totally preggo in the first pics after the birth!

You've got 2 kids and you are surprised that Palin looked preggo in the "first pics after the birth".

 

You wouldn't be interested in a "wife swap", by any chance, would you?

[BillsNYC]

More pictures..can we now put this rumor to bed?
