		<description>Well, I am just getting on this boat.  While I am no big fan of Sarah Palin&#039;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&#039; 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&#039;s so untouchable (we&#039;re so RUDE to question it, yet photos of Bristol and Sarah have mysteriously disappeared off the net, there&#039;s no real info on the birth, and excuse me, but wouldn&#039;t there be at least a SMALL story about a GOV.&#039;s daughter staying home from school for months on end with mono???  Like a tiny story with pics about how she&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t coming forward and providing pics, etc.  I mean, if she&#039;s just a good ol&#039; gal from AK, why weren&#039;t there any preggo pics by the fireside?  (Seriously, Sarah, you&#039;re parading that kid around like a poster boy, don&#039;t tell me you believe your pregnancy and birth were really intimate and private.)  Why no family adventure pics? (Really, aren&#039;t you just a &#039;regular Joe&#039;?  Wouldn&#039;t you share a few &#039;family outtings&#039; or whatever with Alaska?)

I think it&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t &#039;show&#039; 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?  Bristol took the ice with her Mother &amp; sister, wearing jeans and a close fitted white jacket.  No signs whatsoever of her being pregnant?  Now why is that?</description>

		<description>I think anyone who looks objectively at the Trig birth controversy can see the oddities. Instead we keep hearing how this topic is &quot;off-limits&quot; 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&#039;s uteruses and their decisions are her business and government&#039;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 &#039;mean&#039; we look.</description>

		<description>I don&#039; think that baby Trig, who Sarah is using for a POLITICAL PROP is the offspring of daughter Bristol.  I think Bristol&#039;s pregancy was just bad timing.  Young girls don&#039;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&#039;t think that Sarah gave birth to Trig, either.
As we&#039;ve learned so far, Sarah Palin is so self-righteously anti-choice, that she doesn&#039;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&#039;re the cutest) -  Hold them up in the public spotlight, put their faces on billboards, and say, &quot;Imagine if this child had been aborted... what a tragedy that would have been.&quot; =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&#039;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 &quot;crisis pregnancy center&quot; or some such front that encourages, and coerces women into going full term with a pregnancy regardless of a woman&#039;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&#039;s not surprising that Sarah didn&#039;t tell anyone, not her parents, and not even her children that she was pregnant, because she WASN&#039;T.  The conversation with &quot;the Dr.&quot; on the phone while Sarah was in Tx wasn&#039;t about Sarah&#039;s water breaking, it was about the Mystery Mother&#039;s water breaking.  Sarah was in no rush to get back to Wasilla because she wasn&#039;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&#039;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, &quot;I&#039;m a real good republican who can walk the talk! Here&#039;s my baby to prove how anti-choice I really am!  Pick me, pick me!&quot;  And so they did.
... stranger things have happened.</description>

		<description>I am not a conspiracy nut. I don&#039;t have a vendetta against Sarah Palin, or John McCain (however in full disclosure I am supporting Obama). I don&#039;t share any moral platform with the outcries of &quot;family values&quot; on either side of this particular debate. I don&#039;t really care who the parents of Trig Palin are. This being said, I can&#039;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 &quot;ethical&quot; 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 &quot;birth announcement&quot; 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 &quot;Amber&quot; and &quot;Levi&quot; 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......

Striking resemblance? ....... I&#039;ll let you be the judge...

While I recognize that this is a bit of a stretch and that &#039;some of the names may have changed to protect the innocent&#039;; it doesn&#039;t seem any more far fetched than the &quot;facts&quot; 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>

		<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 &quot;cool&quot;, despite the fact that we greatly differ on religion, gay rights, &quot;creationism&quot;, 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&#039;s Musilm ties and his own radically racist chuch.

I do hope eventually the truth about this comes out, though.</description>
