Have the Republican strategists already scheduled Bristol Palin’s miscarriage? Killing two birds with one stone? I’m thinking the ‘tragic event’ will be announced close to the end of September, in hopes of derailing the much anticipated Palin / Biden Debate set for October 2 in Saint Louis. Or possibly something with a bit more flair for the dramatic – a very timely car accident could easily be staged, with the obvious results. I can almost see the press release: “Bristol Palin today was a passenger in a minor car accident. We thank God that Bristol was not seriously injured. The latest reports confirm that her injuries are not life threatening. Sadly, her baby was lost… The family could not be reached for comment. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Palin family. Bristol will (again) be in seclusion until her injuries are fully healed.” Going one step further – I suppose she could conceivably ‘carry’ it full term, (well past the election) by already having a paid-off Surrogate mother waiting in the wings – also five-months pregnant… In any case – the Democrats or skeptics will be unable to question the facts without looking like heartless politicians. It would be too easy for the Republican Spin Machine to turn it around. Let’s take a look at the story so far – some fact – some speculation – and ask a few obvious questions: 1) As Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin was Alaska’s supreme advocate of "abstinence-only" education. 2) When Sarah’s 17-year old daughter, Bristol, became pregnant, to save face, Sarah was forced to fake a pregnancy of her own. 3) Bristol Palin was pulled from school and kept in quarantine for five months due to a severe case of Mononucleosis – amidst the speculation that she was actually pregnant, and not Sarah. 4) Mononucleosis is only contagious for a very short period of time; thus a five-month quarantine was not necessary. a) If Bristol had actually been bedridden with Mononucleosis, wouldn’t the Palin family have made their daughter easily accessible to the media to quell all of the suspicions? b) If no one was allowed to visit her during her recovery, how did her ‘boyfriend’ have an opportunity to get her pregnant for her ‘recently announced’ pregnancy? c) If Bristol’s Mononucleosis was so contagious, should the ‘then pregnant’ Sarah Palin have been exposed to her on a daily basis? 5) Everything is going along just fine until Sarah’s (or was it Bristol’s?) water breaks during Sarah’s trip to Texas for the Republican Governor’s Energy Conference. a) She still manages to deliver her keynote address at the conference, then calls her doctor in Alaska regarding her other ‘delivery.’ b) Instead of delivering the baby in Texas, her doctor suggests that she fly back to Alaska (for eight hours, plus an hour drive) to have the baby in seclusion. c) Is this wise advice from any doctor caring for a patient with a high-risk pregnancy? d) Is this a wise decision from a woman who values the life of an unborn child above everything else? 6) Neither before nor during the flight, does Sarah tell any other passenger or the aircraft’s staff about her condition or that her ‘water broke’ and that she is in labor. a) No one on the plane notices that Sarah is having contractions or that her contractions are getting closer together. b) Would it even be possible for any woman to sit quietly on a plane for eight hours through the beginning stages of labor? c) How many pencils did she chew through in an effort to remain seated and quiet on the flight? 7) Sarah sites the reason for flying back to Alaska for the delivery as the ‘substandard’ hospitals in Texas. a) Are we to assume that she felt the medical facilities and the stewards assigned to the First Class Lounge on a commercial jetliner, flying at 35,000 feet, for eight hours, were superior to the hospitals and care that she would have received in Texas? b) It seems more plausible that her reason behind her ‘panic flight’ back to Alaska was a call from Bristol, who was actually in labor (which has got to be the quintessential bad-timing phone call of all time.) c) It might be interesting to see how long Sarah was actually in labor with her previous four deliveries. d) Remarkably, three days later, Sarah returns to work and, shortly after that, Bristol is once again out in public, after her full recovery from Mono. 8) There is still a lot of speculation on who was actually pregnant, but it soon settles down and life goes on as usual. 9) Enter McCain. 10) After an abbreviated vetting process and a couple short face-to-face meetings, Sarah Palin is selected as his running mate due to her radical Right-wing Conservative views. 11) Overnight, her small-town (who’s your mama) controversy hits the national and international stages. 12) The Republicans quickly realize that their limited vetting of the candidate failed to realize that this controversy had not yet been put to rest. a) Reporters and speculators are now digging deeper into Sarah Palin’s background than ever before. b) McCain’s bid for the Presidency is nearly derailed… The controversy won’t go away. c) What to do… What to do? 13) Fake another pregnancy – but this time it will be Sarah’s daughter, Bristol. 14) With a little quick math, the magic number comes up. Bristol is five months pregnant. a) At five months, there would be no way that she could have been Trig’s mother. b) The only logical explanation is, Sarah must have been the target of a smear campaign all along. c) It’s the lesser of two evils – Sarah will now have to admit that her daughter actually is pregnant, but the controversy surrounding Trig’s birth mother will be put to rest once and for all. d) The Republicans will even be able to turn it around to showcase the Palin’s ‘family values.’ e) Now they can get on with the campaign. 15) So the Republican strategists, in a last-ditch effort, decide to throw Bristol to the wolves. 16) The fate of the Presidency, as well as the future of the Republican Party now rests squarely on the shoulders of a 17-year old ‘pregnant’ girl. 17) Enter the boyfriend, Levi Johnston. A self-proclaimed redneck who will ‘kick your a_s and loves to shoot s_ _t, who doesn’t want kids. (As per his MySpace page.) a) Suddenly he becomes Bristol’s devoted fiancée and – it goes without saying – they will keep their child. b) When McCain meets Levi with Bristol for the first time, McCain’s body language clearly appears more like ‘thank you for doing this for the party and our country’ than ‘it’s nice to meet you.’ 18) Continuing with a little more math, a five-month pregnancy would drop the ‘conception process’ squarely within the five months Bristol was battling Mononucleosis. a) I guess this would mean that she did indeed have at least one visitor while she was in seclusion, recovering from Mono. b) At this point, you have to be asking yourself, “What young girl would take even a billion to one chance of getting pregnant – after going through five months of public speculation over an earlier pregnancy scandal that involved both her and her mother?” I think in the best interest of both parties, Bristol Palin should submit to a quick and painless pregnancy test with two female physicians present – one selected by the Republicans and one selected by the Democrats. Let’s have the test done quickly – before the baby is ‘miscarried’ or a victim of a very unfortunate ‘accident.’ Let’s not wait to learn about another obscure Alaskan tradition of cremating miscarried or stillborn infants within 20 minutes of the horrific event. Bristol’s already in the public eye, and this simple test would put this controversy to rest once and for all. I for one, think that the timing of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy is a little too convenient.

How the heck did that story get started? and who started it? Did she ever state that her water broke and she hopped a plane and went home? or did this get posted on a liberal blog by an unknown operative? Who benefits the most from this story? I don't think it's good for liberals or undecideds. Can Daily Kos reveal who had all those photographs of the candidate and the dates of those photos? And last, where is that birth certificate and how much time do they need to create one?

Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that Palin wasn't pregnant at all, but that she adopted Trig when the birth mother didn't want him, or when the adoptive parents backed out. She's still *lying* about all of it, and she's using a special needs infant for her own political purposes. Anyone who thinks High Priestess Syndrome doesn't run among allegedly Christian women as well as pagan, is kidding themselves. What a creep.

Yanno, any child welfare authority or police detective would wonder "Was she hoping the kid would die so she wouldn't have to be stuck with a Down's Syndrome kid?" I think it's pretty clear she was hoping for an extra-late term abortion-by-plane-ride. I believe Newt Ginrich calls that infantacide. This one gives me the willies.

This Blogger did a very extensive investigation on the issue. A very good job. http://www.politicalbase.com/profile/jnail/blog/&blogId=3422

have a question about Sarah Palin's last pregnancy. She has been praised for her courage when her water broke while making a speech in Texas. As I understand she continued the speech; took her scheduled flight back to Alaska (8 hours) and delivered the baby about an hour later. My daughter in-law had a baby in February (9 weeks early) when her water broke she could not control the flow (nor can anyone else). We rushed her to the hospital (20 minutes seemed to take forever). The biggest concern was infection. I feel she was being irresponsible by taking a chance that things would turn out fine. I had three children and with each child the baby came quicker. Something seems wrong and I'd like to know if you are having the same concerns about Sarah Palin’s judgment?

I've started a website with regards to this story-it has a three fold purpose: 1 To separate fact from fiction in regards to Sarah Palin 2 To write about Alaska 3 A girlfriend and myself are being stalked by a violent career criminal sociopath drug dealer-for the past four days the girl has been unable to communicate with me in any way-police are on the case but I want to get the word out there-there's no telling what may have happened The website is here: www.sarahpalinrumorcheck.blogspot.com

I feel it is detrimental to our nation to have a possible President with such horrible judgement. I agree with Barack Obama that children in Politics are off limits. However, this is not about her daughter, it is about her. Sarah Palin either, 1. Flat out lied to the American people .....or ..... 2. She is irresponsible and naive; unworthy of the 2nd and possibly the highest position in our nation (McCain is 72 ys. old) To go into premature labor and not go to the hospital immediately but give a 30 minute speech then catch an 8 hour flight showcases horrible judgement. With McCain being 72 ys. old, we must ask ourselves; Is this the behavior of a President?

The conspiracy theory is that the birth mother (possibly not the daughter?) was actually 8 months pregnant when Gov announced she was 7 months pregnant. Why? Obviously, the previously flat tummy would be an impossible juxtaposition for the 8 month confabulation, but slightly less so for the 7 month story. The Alaskan press bought the 7 month flat tummy story anyway. Then there is the thought that the birth mother intended to give up the child to an adopting family when the extra chromosome was discovered--at which point the adopting family pulled out and the Governor decided to adopt the baby herself and play Bree for a coupla months.

I totally think if this rumor is true, and Palin refuses to come clean, DNA paternity test should be done so check if Todd Palin is the father of the 5th child as Palin claims. If the DNA of father and child doesn't match, it clearly either shows that the last child is not Sarah Palin`s but Bristol or Sarah Palin was screwing someone else behind Todd!

Trig Palin was born, according to published reports, early in the morning on April 18, 2008. Here is the URL where Trig's birth should be announced: http://www.matsuregional.com/nursery/show_day.php?month=04&year=2008&day=18. Find Trig!

It is written here, "It is unclear if the airline made an exception for Governor Palin." NO, by her own admission she neither told the airline she was pregnant (or that her amniotic fluid was leaking therefor) "Sarah said that while she did not tell the pilot or flight attendants that she was 36 weeks along, she did not hide her condition either" From an interview with her found here http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2008/04/alaskan-governo.html According to an article from April 22 in Alaska Daily News "Palin's Child Diagnosed With Down Syndrome" http://www.adn.com/626/story/382864.html her doctor was interviewed and stated she did not ask for permission to fly. "Palin said she felt fine but had leaked amniotic fluid and also felt some contractions that seemed different from the false labor she had been having for months. "I said I am going to stay for the day. I have a speech I was determined to give," Palin said. She gave the luncheon keynote address for the energy conference. Palin kept in close contact with Baldwin-Johnson. The contractions slowed to one or two an hour, "which is not active labor," the doctor said. "Things were already settling down when she talked to me," Baldwin-Johnson said. Palin did not ask for a medical OK to fly, the doctor said." Reports state she flew Alaska Airlines home. I called Alaska Airlines who told me that out of DFW their sister airline, American Airlines has ONE flight to Anchorage per day, that is at 3:45 arriving 7:40 in the evening which coincides with what Sarah states herself as her arrival time. The American Airlines person on the phone told me the duration of the flight is 6hr 55 minutes. American Airlines REQUIRES a physician's approval for flying at eight months. In another article she stated, "I didn't tell the airlines I was pregnant, nor did I try to hide it" What is this sort of behavior everyone? The labor was INDUCED and and she gave birth at 6:30 in the morning the next day, Friday, THEN she returned to work on Monday and supposedly took the infant WITH her. A one month premature Down Syndrome child. Does anyone here know that pediatricians tell new mothers not to take their infants out around other people for ten days and CERTAINLY not a premature infant. This is just the absolute most CRAZY and irresponsible behavior I have ever heard of and NOTE, pro-life I would THINK involves protecting your child (fetus and post partum) in every way possible. She gave by her OWN words the "luncheon keynote speech" then immediately must have gone to DFW (the convention was in Grapevive which is right close to DFW). I would REALLY like to know what the nature of her back and forth conversations were with her physician in Alaska were all about if according to her own physician she didn't seek medical advise about flying because NO DOCTOR would tell a 44 year old pregnant woman pregnant with a Down Syndrome child calling him telling him she was leaking amniotic fluid to do anything BUT go directly to the ER. Everyone has to remember here, this is supposedly a pro-life nominee. Doesn't pro-Life include asking your physician if it's safe to fly in such a situation which it clearly was NOT? Her "pro-life" position is PURE hypocrasy.

This actually does make sense if we consider the rumor that Sarah Palin's daughter was actually the pregnant one. Most of us were confused that she hadn't just stayed in Texas to deliver the baby there after her water broke. However, if her daughter was the pregnant one and had gone into labor in Alaska, it would make sense that Sarah had to rush home so that she could be in the same state as the baby when it was born. This would also explain why she was back at work three days later despite the fact that her baby suffers from down's syndrome. Can somebody get to the bottom of this one? I want to know.

Talk about incompetence! Not that I'm a big Obama fan or anything, but a half-dead guy whose campaign cannot even vet someone properly does not sound like a particularly attractive candidate. At this point, she seems like a favorite to be off the ticket in a hurry. Harriet Myers, redeux.

This doesn't change the basic story, but as a stickler for facts I'd like it if you double-checked yours. Palin announced her pregnancy at 7 months. She flew to the conference in Austin when he was (allegedly) at 8 months. While she was there, her water (allegedly) broke, and she flew for 9 hours, 15 minutes back to Anchorage, with a plane change in Seattle -- without telling anyone, because the airline never would have let her board -- and (allegedly) gave birth to a 6 pound, 2 ounce preemie. Three days later, this 44-year-old woman was back at work, none the worse for the wear. I'm not believing it. I'd like to see the birth certificate.

http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/380134.html She has bad judgement. Women in their 40's knowing that they are having a down syndrome baby are NOT to fly while in labor. Duh. She hid the fact that she was going into labor when she boarded. I wonder what else she is hiding.

It's only on TV that water breaking = going into a fast labor. In reality, labor usually doesn't begin immediately and sometimes will be induced if it hasn't begun within 24 hours, due to various medical risks (infection etc). The confusion stems partly from the fact that the water will usually break when a woman is in labor, but the opposite isn't true, especially if the woman is only 7 months along. Are we sure that she took a commercial flight? If my water broke at 7 months, I'd want to get to my own doctor and hospital ASAP.

There is NO WAY Alaska Air would allow a woman in labor to fly. Wasn't that her 5th child too? She's really a brainiac for doing that. High risk, knew she had a down syndrome baby, premature labor... gee! Let's fly what 10 hours in labor? Good job McCain. If he was going to pick a token woman, he could of at least picked a smart one. They are like a bad episode of Jerry Springer.
