		<description>Well, I am just getting on this boat.  While I am no big fan of Sarah Palin's politics, I have to say she seemed . . . cool (I am waiting for lightening to strike) in the Hike with Sarah Palin video.

In any event, the whole situation reeks of VC Andrews' Garden of Shadows - you know, where you find out that Alicia hid in the attic until she gave birth to Corinne while Olivia faked being pregnant in the public eye.  

The point here is that the drama has gotten to this level...and since it's so untouchable (we're so RUDE to question it, yet photos of Bristol and Sarah have mysteriously disappeared off the net, there's no real info on the birth, and excuse me, but wouldn't there be at least a SMALL story about a GOV.'s daughter staying home from school for months on end with mono???  Like a tiny story with pics about how she's keeping up with her school work??  Anything??), we really have nothing to go on.  

I think there are two possibilities:

1.  No info is being provided because people obsessing over this ultimately sound nuts.  At the same time, Sarah (and therefore the campaign) continue to be talked about - bad news is still news.  If no one was talking about them, they wouldn't have a chance, ya know?

2. Info is not being provided because there actually IS something to hide here.

I am not clear why Sarah isn't coming forward and providing pics, etc.  I mean, if she's just a good ol' gal from AK, why weren't there any preggo pics by the fireside?  (Seriously, Sarah, you're parading that kid around like a poster boy, don't tell me you believe your pregnancy and birth were really intimate and private.)  Why no family adventure pics? (Really, aren't you just a 'regular Joe'?  Wouldn't you share a few 'family outtings' or whatever with Alaska?)

I think it's pretty low class to bandy about your pro-life/no-sex-ed-in-schools/anti-BC platform and then pretend your family is is fighting the good fight  as they overcome the problems that your platform supports!  Does this sound crazy or what??!

Nothing about the truth behind this baby would shock me.  Palin could have spawned and grew that baby in a test tube, made SURE it had a defect of some kind (nothing too debilitating, though - she can't have a drooler in a wheelchair or a baby who had to have body casts or be on life support with her, it just wouldn't 'show' as well), and had someone in Africa carry it to term.  Would not shock me.</description>

		<description>Has anyone seent he clip of Palin and her children taking the ice at the Philadelphia Flyers game this weekend?

		<description>I think anyone who looks objectively at the Trig birth controversy can see the oddities. Instead we keep hearing how this topic is "off-limits" and either we are publicly shamed for saying so, or ridiculed. In my opinion, it is hypocrisy to state this is none of our business, when Sarah Palin has promised that women's uteruses and their decisions are her business and government's business. I think it is entirely likely that Trig was adopted and used as the poster child he is for the Pro-Life... I mean Anti-Choice extremists. And it would be soooo easy to dispel this view, but instead the McCains have chosen to use our doubts against us. The more we wonder, the worse and more 'mean' we look.</description>

		<description>I don' think that baby Trig, who Sarah is using for a POLITICAL PROP is the offspring of daughter Bristol.  I think Bristol's pregancy was just bad timing.  Young girls don't typically give birth to babies with Down Syndrome.  By and large that is one of the dangers of an older mother pregnancy.  This leads me to a  suspicion with a different twist on the entire charade and lie used by Sarah Palin in order to further her career.  I don't think that Sarah gave birth to Trig, either.
As we've learned so far, Sarah Palin is so self-righteously anti-choice, that she doesn't believe in giving another woman the right to make choices for her own life, even in the case of incest or rape (such compassion! not!) The ultra fundamentalists who support this line of thinking have latched their teeth into a relatively new (within the past few years) marketing trend: Exploit babies with disabilities and birth defects (especially those with Down Syndrome - they're the cutest) -  Hold them up in the public spotlight, put their faces on billboards, and say, "Imagine if this child had been aborted... what a tragedy that would have been." =guilt, guilt, guilt.
Now, back up to the Last Frontier...
Last Spring it was already clear that McCain was the GOP pick.  Sarah threw her hat into the ring of potential contenders for the VP, even though logically she should have had a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nod.  She decides to grab herself some more attention and pull her own publicity stunt.  With her contacts in the anti-choice network, she finds a "crisis pregnancy center" or some such front that encourages, and coerces women into going full term with a pregnancy regardless of a woman's circumstances.  Palin finds a woman who is 7 months pregnant with a Downs Syndrome baby who has been convinced to go full term.  Sarah and the Dude pay the Mystery Mother off to hand over the baby at birth, no adoption papers, no questions asked.   So, it's not surprising that Sarah didn't tell anyone, not her parents, and not even her children that she was pregnant, because she WASN'T.  The conversation with "the Dr." on the phone while Sarah was in Tx wasn't about Sarah's water breaking, it was about the Mystery Mother's water breaking.  Sarah was in no rush to get back to Wasilla because she wasn't HAVING a baby that day, she was BUYING/GETTING a baby that day.  Now all she has to do is pay off the Dr. to fake the parent's names on a birth certificate and, voila!  Sarah Palin  gets all kinds of accolades for making the Choice to carry this disabled child to term!  Now she can hold this baby up as a sacrafice to the GOP machine and say look, "I'm a real good republican who can walk the talk! Here's my baby to prove how anti-choice I really am!  Pick me, pick me!"  And so they did.
... stranger things have happened.</description>

		<description>I am not a conspiracy nut. I don't have a vendetta against Sarah Palin, or John McCain (however in full disclosure I am supporting Obama). I don't share any moral platform with the outcries of "family values" on either side of this particular debate. I don't really care who the parents of Trig Palin are. This being said, I can't completely explain my obsession with the short lived / redacted life of this story as it broke over the internet over the last few days.

While I have no moral stake in this baby claim, I do feel these questions you have raised have not been adequately addressed by the McCain campaign (or the media for that matter) and represent a severe "ethical" dilemma in which the personal situations of our leaders takes precedence over the common good through lies, manipulation and abuse of power. 

For these reasons I would like to share with you some information I have uncovered below regarding the "birth announcement" of Trig Palin. Sarah Palin was said to have delivered baby Trig at the Mat Su Regional Hospital, which in turn has no on line record of Trig Palin for the date of April 18th, 2008. There are two simple explanations for this; either the hospital administrators deliberately omitted this information from their online record, or, the baby was never delivered at Mat Su Regional. 

There was however a baby delivered to parents "Amber" and "Levi" on April 18th at Alaska Regional Hospital (see links below), a mere 45 min. drive from Wasilla.

Here is another AP link to Trig Palin with his grandparents...... 

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0eIA5qy1wt0Zw/340x.jpg

Striking resemblance? ....... I'll let you be the judge...

While I recognize that this is a bit of a stretch and that 'some of the names may have changed to protect the innocent'; it doesn't seem any more far fetched than the "facts" which have emerged from the McCain campaign. How do we know Bristol Palin is 5 months pregnant instead of 5 months post partum? Because the McCain campaign told us so. To date no one has produced a single piece of compelling evidence to put this story to rest. If the initial story was untrue, all the McCain campaign would have had to produce is a single photo of Sarah Palin and her family celebrating the birth of their newest child in the delivery room (not during mind you....) or in the recovery ward. Surely, there is family documentation of this special event.... If she is so content to wear her motherhood on her sleeve, than why shy away from sharing a photo from an innocent moment that every family could relate to.

Would it not have been so much easier to squash the rumor that Bristol Palin was not the mother of Trig by producing such a photo? Instead, the McCain campaign created a shell game for a current scandal by dragging Bristol Palin (and the media) into a future one.</description>

<p>Here is another AP link to Trig Palin with his grandparents&#8230;&#8230; </p>

<p>Striking resemblance? &#8230;&#8230;. I&#8217;ll let you be the judge&#8230;</p>
<p>While I recognize that this is a bit of a stretch and that &#8217;some of the names may have changed to protect the innocent&#8217;; it doesn&#8217;t seem any more far fetched than the &#8220;facts&#8221; which have emerged from the McCain campaign. How do we know Bristol Palin is 5 months pregnant instead of 5 months post partum? Because the McCain campaign told us so. To date no one has produced a single piece of compelling evidence to put this story to rest. If the initial story was untrue, all the McCain campaign would have had to produce is a single photo of Sarah Palin and her family celebrating the birth of their newest child in the delivery room (not during mind you&#8230;.) or in the recovery ward. Surely, there is family documentation of this special event&#8230;. If she is so content to wear her motherhood on her sleeve, than why shy away from sharing a photo from an innocent moment that every family could relate to.</p>
<p>Would it not have been so much easier to squash the rumor that Bristol Palin was not the mother of Trig by producing such a photo? Instead, the McCain campaign created a shell game for a current scandal by dragging Bristol Palin (and the media) into a future one.</p>

		<description>I personally think Brisol looks way more than 5 months pregnant now. Of course, subsequent pregnancies show earlier. And she does look pregnant in those old photos. But maybe she is just naturally plump. I think it is possible that Trig is adopted and maybe Track is the father, but...

Either way, I personally think the family seems very interesting and "cool", despite the fact that we greatly differ on religion, gay rights, "creationism", etc....BUT I think people who are making an issue out of her religious ties are just as wrong as people who are making an issue about Obama's Musilm ties and his own radically racist chuch.

I do hope eventually the truth about this comes out, though.</description>

		<description>This is such a difficult topic to discuss. On the one hand how brutally cold blooded to condem or question the mother of a handicapped child. On the other hand there are some very strange circumstances surrounding the birth of this child. 
Lets look at the facts so far. Her daughter is mysteriously removed from school for 5 months. And almost all pictures prebaby show the daughter to be glowing, and sporting the baby bump. She claims to have been pregnant but only at 7mos did she reveal this to her closest staffers. There is yet to be one person who has come forward to say she even looked pregnant. In most pictures available she appears to not be even a little pregnant. No swollen hands feet or face. Now being a man I cannot say what it feels like to be pregnant but watching my wife carry all three of my angles to term I can say what it looks like. In the one picture that she appears to be 8 or 9 mos the size of her stomach is just absurd. From not showing to appearing to be carrying triplets. Again looking at her feet, hands and face there is ZERO indication other than the pillow in her clothes that she is pregnant. Then lets look at the facts surrounding the birth. At the time of her water breaking she was in TX. A 12 hr flight to Alaska and the flight attendant also commented that she did NOT appear pregnant. Ok lets look closely at this. In the picture making the rounds on the internet she is VERY pregnant. Now ready to give birth the flight attentdant cannot tell? I for one am not buying it. Ok lets keep going. This child is known to be a down syndrome child long before birth. These births are not routine. There are several areas of concern including problems with the childs heart at birth. But this super mom throws all of this out the window and makes the trip to Alaska. In routine births the doctors are very clear once your fluid begins to leak you are to get to a hospital fast. The chance of infection or complications rises by the minute as you are now exposing the fetus to a host of possible issues. Yet she is traveling like there is no problem or worry. I"M NOT BUYING THIS.  So now we come to what does this have to do with our country and this election....my pleasure...

1. LIES ....My fellow Americans have you not had enough lies from the 8yrs of Bush? Lied into a war, CIA agents exposed and lies to cover it up. An Atty. General who told so many lies his defense in almost every inquiry is "I dont remember". If she is lying about this she will lie about other things. Plain and simple she cannot be trusted. This is NOT who I want running my country. 

2. JUDGEMENT.... the protection of her teenage daughter is to be commended. But the decision to hide the pregnancy over rejoicing at the birth of a miracle shows poor judgement at best. The lack of judgement being shown here is just a small example of what we could expect from future decisions. 

3. COVERUP..... once again the Republican party is involved in a scandalous coverup.   I want to see how far they are willing to take this. 

ITS OUR COUNTRY stand up brothes and sisters lets take it back.

on a side note I could care less about her stupid kids and lifestyle. But if your kids are OFF LIMITS quit parading them on stage like props. By the way if this was Obama's teenage pregnant daughter can we just STOP pretending how compassionate and considerate the Republican Right would be towards Barack and Michelle. Thank God it was Palin and not Michelle who has to deal with this disaster. 

I apologize for spelling errors but Im typing, helping my 9yr with homework and feeding my 18mo old son. AND I work 10 hrs a day. This Dad says GOOOO Obama !</description>

		<description>I think she looks totally pregnant, and like said above, just because this was released on a particular day, it most likely was filmed and edited over a period of weeks.  She mentions in this podshow that she runs.  Even for a mom of 4, she clearly was and is in good shape prior to the Trig pregnancy.   I'm short and still could wear relatively normal clothes up until the 7th month.  She looks thicker along her back waste area, seems to be walking like she has a "bump" in the front and has that jacket that is hanging looser on her.</description>

		<description>Wrong buddy Bristol is the mom alright and Todd palin is the dad!  It makes more since for the need of such a cover up!  You know the Palins dont believe in abortion in the case of rape or incest!  Sarah is Country First not Family first!  Actualy she is Family/Career first!!! Protect the Husband from Jail Time Protect her daughter from embarrasment, and most importantly protect herself, her career, and cover the fact that Bristol has been acting as mom, and wife, while Sarah has been putting Career First!</description>
