Sarah Palin's Daughter Preganant. Babygate Scandal Getting Ready to Explode
#25re: Its being Reported Sarah Palin is not the Mother but Grandmother of her
Posted: 8/31/08 at 10:32pmWell, when questioned about the smear book about Obama published by Mary Matalin, McCain's response was that you "gotta have a sense of humor". So, shouldn't Palin and her family have to have a sense of humor, too?

Here is a video that was shot on February 26th, 2008. She gave birth on April 18th 2008. Look at her. Remarkable. Does she look pregnant? Sarah Palin comes in around the 4:00 minute mark,so if you want to skip ahead.

Also, Has anyone seen pictures of her when she was pregnant with her other kids. She was HUGE when carrying all of them. I pray The Enquirer and the TV Tabloid shows investigate this. Trust me, if there is any truth to the story they will find it. This will be a huge break and they will be in heaven if this story has legs. Imagine this story breaking and being verified as true during the Republican convention.
Another question is this. If it turns out to be true and she lied not only to the citizens of Alaska but also the people of the United States with this story, will McCain drop her or will she step down like Harriet Miers? Could this all be a plan to get someone else in the VP slot?

Posted: 9/1/08 at 12:17amIf this is true, the problem is with McCain. In this day and age, his vetting process didn't discover something that came out on the web 48 hours after his announcement? Many women would do what Palin is accused to have done, but the problem would be not declining the VP offer.

Posted: 9/1/08 at 12:27amWas she even vetted?

The problem is that McCain did little or no vetting at all.
Local newspapers in Alaska were not contacted to have the archives reviewed, and I am sure, the stories of her abuse of power, troopergate, bitchgate, and the questions surrounding the birth of her son were not investigated or researched. Yet, for many on the right, all is forgiven because she has the same religious beliefs.
This is evidence of McCain's rash decision making, and by itself should disqualify him from office. And, it demonstrates that many on the religious right and far right of the Republican party are no better than traitors to the United States of America. They seen ready, willing and able to compromise our security, safety, and ability to respond to threats, foreign and domestic, just so they can have a "believer" in the White House.
If faith is the only benchmark that matters, than they are traitors to the United States and everything it stands for.
She may be a wonderful governor, wife, mother and human being. But she is not currently qualified for the office of VP. This is not a freaking coffee klatch.
In my opinion of course.

According to Huffpost she was not vetted.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/mccain-camp-didnt-search_n_122823.html
And according to this source McCain began Vetting Palin after she was on the ticket.

If this turns out to be true, imagine what this will do to McCain. Not only picking an inexperienced woman who has been governor for less than 2 years but not even vetting her properly.
People are digging deep into this, so you never what will come up now that the media is involved. The McCain camp must be sweating it out. If they turn up something they didn't it could spell trouble. Either way, I am sure they are not happy with the speculation or the digging.
If the story turns out to be false, well the GOP will now know what it is like to be Swiftboated.

why is it so hard to believe that a hardcore conservative republican would do this to cover up for her unwed teenage daughters pregnancy?

Even more intrigue being reported ob the wed:
1. Sarah Palin's first son, Track Palin, was born in April 1989 (we don't have the exact day). For the purposes of this analysis, we will give Sarah Palin the benefit of the doubt and assume that her son was born on April 30, 1989, the longest possible April date from her marriage.
2. Sarah Palin was married on August 29, 1988. She eloped.
3. 38 weeks is the typical human pregnancy.
4. 38 weeks before her son's maximum birthday, April 30, 1989, is August 7, 1988 - i.e., that would be the hypothetical day of conception.
5. If this data is correct, that would mean that Sarah Palin eloped three weeks after her son's conception.
6. Sarah Palin's son could still be legitimate if his birthday is the end of April, if he was born three weeks premature, and if he was conceived on the night his parents eloped. If, however, her son was born on a date in April before April 30, then he would have to have been born even more premature than 3 weeks in order to have been conceived after the Palins were married.

I don't think anyone finds it hard to believe. What I find hard to believe is A) McCain's camp didn't pick up on it and B) she would not bring this up and think she could actually get away with it. Both these people want to be President and VP and if its true they will both have made MAJOR mistakes. Says a lot about their character.
I just wonder if it is true, how much can they cover? Karl Rove is a real pro so he could bury this somehow. I also find it odd that on the website giving the governor's bio three pictures of Bristol has been removed recently according to residents of Alaska.

Saw this posted on a blog. Here is what the woman had to say about this video.
"I had thought this hubbub about her pregnancy was really over the top. I still think that it is NOT an issue that the CAMPAIGN should be pushing.
However, I also cannot believe that she was 7 months pregnant in the video below. She gave birth, supposedly, only a couple of weeks after the announcement. How does anyone who is 7 months along sit in this hunched forward position? I had three babies, the first was less than 7 pounds and I didn't show much. But I couldn't have sat forward and hunched over the way this woman does. Look at this and decide for yourself."
Seems like Women are the ones questioning this story. Women who have had children are not buying it.

Well, when you live on Moose Stew, you're in the zone, and stay slim n'trim.
She is a nightmare candidate for so many reasons, none of which have a thing to do with her "personal narrative." Let's start with some more fundamental questions of character...
If you have her thin resume and a 4 month old special needs baby at home, and you get The Call from McCain, a man asking everyone to put country first, what does a savy, self-aware person do? Stop, pause, and say, "Sorry, come back to me Senator when you're elected. I'd love a shot at Secretary of the Interior, or Engery Czar(ina), but I've got my hands full, literally, and haven't got the experience, or necessary wisdom, to perform in service of our great country on the world stage."
Instead, she didn't pause, but said "Yup! I'm ready!" The simple act of THINKING SHE'S READY speaks volumes about her supposed character and her priorities, personal and patriotic.
If you truly love America, and place her needs first, and you truly want to show up for your challenging child, you make decisions that serve both.
Who cares who had the baby? Her hubris, like another inexperienced governor, is what truly defines her.

Auggie, very well put.
It sounds like neither of them did much thinking about this.
It also kills me when their people say, Barack Obama spent day one in the Senate running for President. There's a huge difference in setting your sights on a particular goal and KNOWING/WANTING the huge challenges that are up ahead as opposed to someone calling one day and asking you if you'd like to run as their VP. If one answers almost immediately, what does that say about them.
When one is job hunting and offered a particular position, don't you usually take time out to think about it, before you give an answer?

This is such an interesting scandal.
I'm just about obsessed with reading about it.
You don't see stuff like this in Canadian politics.

MSNBC is reporting that Britol Palin is currently five-months pregnant. She will keep the baby and marry the father. This may debunk the rumors about Trig. But how's that abstinence-only education policy working out?

As for falsified records, it's always possible that they could be planted to "disprove" a story that is in actuality quite true.
It seemed the Bush AWOL story ended once Rathergate started.

Good grief, this doesn't squelch one rumor, it starts a "narrative..." So much for abstinance only. So much for home schooling, so much for fill in the blank.
Question: Did Himself and his lame vetters know this? Did they think THIS wouldn't matter?
#47hurbris, thy name is Palin
Posted: 9/1/08 at 12:24pm
Apparently they did...
"Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.
In the short period since she was announced last Friday, Palin has helped to energize the Republican Party's conservative base, giving the McCain camp fresh energy going into the campaign for the Nov. 4 election against Democrat Barack Obama.
McCain officials said the news of the daughter's pregnancy was being released to rebut what one aide called "mud-slinging and lies" circulating on liberal blog sites."

This is purported to be a picture of Sarah (Right) pregnant with another of her children. This is what pregnant looks like on Sarah.

At first I thought that was Natalie from Facts of Life!
If this story is true, it shows that Palin is a liar and covers up scandals.
Haven't we had enough of that?
