McCain chooses Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for V.P.

[Mercy Now]

It occurs to me that she may have been put on the ticket as a means to rein her in and keep her close.

Hmm... interesting article that her last child might not be really hers and she is covering for her daughter.  icon_nixweiss

Well it was only a matter of time for the mud to start flying. I'm not contending that the assertion is true or not but will point to some assumptions that we are being asked to believe.

First assumption is that the pics are legit.Maybe, Maybe not .

 The Governor looks in a couple of them(pics) to be standing as if she is pregnant.Perhaps it takes a woman who has "been there done that "to recognize the stance .I don't know but looks it to me.Also pregnant women do seem to get a glow and some facial rounding which it appears the governor has in a few pics.  Bristol does look more pregnant than her mother. However her mother is wearing a vest ( hard to tell) . The author evidently has never been pregnant. Ever trying "sucking in" a supposed 7 month fetus? It doesn't work and Bristol doesn't look to me as if she is sucking in her belly. Her face does however seem a bit rounded.

Second assumption is the pregnancy myths we are being asked to believe.

Having given birth to 4 children I can tell you that each labor got progressively LONGER :shock: not shorter. So the labors get shorter I know for a fact is a myth. Not for all women.

It's a myth that a woman's water always break on it's own. Most women have to have their water broken. Some do leak amniotic fluid and it's not considered dangerous in every case.

Women do not carry babies the same ,even the same woman and a different pregnancy.Some get wider ,some get deeper and some get both. I do however think it would be difficult to hide a 5th pregnancy,though it may depend ones activity level as my grandmother gave birth to 9 children and even with the 9th didn't show like some with their 3rd and 4th. She was also very active.My point is it's a variable.

 As for Bristol's bout with mono I can say from experience of my own bout in my teens and my daughter's bout at that age that it takes about 6 months to feel like you are well again and then again it depends on other factors such as stress etc. I will however admit that the timing of Bristol's bout is curious.

Perhaps the most damning evidence that would relate to this assertion for me is  in watching the announcement scene itself. Bristol is holding the baby the entire time and that baby looked and felt so very content. This isn't that unusual to me as I cared for my own baby brother in my teens and he was just as comfortable if not more,in my arms as he was in my mother's at times.  What did stand out to me is that not once did the Governor go over to Bristol to touch the baby or seem to check on him etc. Not once. I realize that she had a job to do but if it had been me I would have been compelled to check on the child or at least show him off as I am always a mom first.

VP nominee Sarah Palin says teen daughter is pregnant

Associated Press
3:49 PM EDT, September 1, 2008

ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin said Monday that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant, an announcement campaign aides said was aimed at rebutting Internet rumors that Palin's youngest son, born in April, was actually her daughter's.

A statement released by the campaign said that Bristol Palin will keep her baby and marry the child's father. Bristol Palin's baby is due in late December.

"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents," Sarah and Todd Palin said in the brief statement.

The disclosure of the pregnancy came on the opening day of the Republican National Convention, scaled back because of Hurricane Gustav, and three days after McCain named Palin as his running mate. The other news was likely to overshadow the disclosure.

John McCain and Sarah Palin meet with hurricane officials The first-term Alaska governor was in Minnesota preparing for her acceptance speech when the campaign issued the statement; her family was home in Alaska.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family," they added.

The father was identified in the statement as Levi, but the campaign said it was not disclosing his full name or age or how he and Bristol know each other, citing privacy.

Sarah Palin's fifth child, a son named Trig, was born in April with Down syndrome. Internet bloggers have been suggesting that the child was actually born to Bristol Palin but that her mother, the 44-year-old Alaska governor, claimed to be the mother.

Palin spokesman Bill McAllister emphatically denied those rumors, and McCain adviser Mark Salter said the campaign announced the daughter's pregnancy to rebut them.

"Senator McCain's view is this is a private family matter. As parents, (the Palins) love their daughter unconditionally and are going to support their daughter," said McCain spokesman Steve Schmidt.

"Life happens," he said.

"An American family," added Salter.

The advisers said Palin told them about the pregnancy during lengthy discussions about her background. At several points during the discussions, McCain's team warned Palin that the scrutiny into her private life would be intense and that there was nothing she could do to prepare for it.

Advisers said Palin's daughter should be afforded privacy like the other candidates' children. Said Schmidt: "If people try to politicize this, the American people will be appalled."

In Monroe, Mich., Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama condemned rumors involving the children of candidates and echoed the McCain campaign argument. Said Obama: "I think people's families are off limits, and people's children are especially off limits."

Obama adamantly denied anonymous claims that his campaign helped spread the rumors.

"I am offended by that statement," Obama said. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I ever thought that there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they'd be fired."

Prominent religious conservatives, many of whom have been lukewarm toward McCain's candidacy, predicted that Palin's daughter's pregnancy would not diminish conservative Christian enthusiasm for the vice presidential hopeful, a staunch abortion opponent.

Focus on the Family founder James Dobson issued a statement commending the Palins for "for not just talking about their pro-life and pro-family values, but living them out even in the midst of trying circumstances." He added: "Being a Christian does not mean you're perfect. Nor does it mean your children are perfect. But it does mean there is forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord."

Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America called the pregnancy private. "It's a matter that should stay in the family and they have to work through it together. My prayers go out to them."

Added Combs: "We're excited about the governor and think she's going to do well."

Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law, said: "We're all sinners."

"We all make mistakes. Certainly, the ideal is not to get pregnant out of wedlock. But she made the right decision after her mistake," he said.

facts are this.

she didn't give birth to the down syndrome baby, her 16 year old daughter did.

she used the down syndrome baby to cover for her underage daughter and for political support.

sex appeal + loves and cares for down syndrome babies next to mccain looks pretty good.

fact is, it's her daughters baby.

latest news report to squash the fake preggo rumors say her daughter is NOW preggo, how could she possibly be the mother of the down syndrome baby if she's preggo now?
