Why would they go to those lengths to cover up a Bristol's pregnancy with Trig, only to announce she is pregnant later? That's headscratching, to say the least.

And a Down's Baby is something that happens primarily to older Moms.

Palin is just an irresponsible liar, no matter what way you look at it.

Okay, so what are we saying, but not saying?
Are we saying that Bristol had a baby in April, and that Sarah wore a
fat suit during those last months, totally faking her water breaking,
and that a physician somewhere(maybe 2) will soon lose his license to
practice because he lied about 1. the mono and 2. Palin's medical records?
So, lets say for the sake of this, that Trig is Bristol's.
If you are the mother of 4 and your teenage daughter is carrying a baby
with Downs syndrome(you know they knew) and your belief set is that
abortion is wrong, and you truly believe that family is first....and as
a mother, you want to see your daughter fulfill her dreams of her
future...then what do you do?? There are four options
1. Abortion, which we have determined was not an option for Palin,
nevermind that Bristol is underage
2. Adoption
3. Keep the baby, have Bristol marry and raise it as her own
4. Keep the baby, pretend it is yours-raise it yourself because as a
mother, you sacrifice for your children.


Because of my bias on Adoption, I will spare you a diatribe and suffice
it to say that like abortion, adoption is not always an option.
IMO, knowing Palin's religious beliefs and being a mother myself...I
would choose #4. I could go into a lot more detail on these numbered
options for Bristol, but I won't in this post.
I can honestly say that I would have chosen #4 in that situation.

Around here, a pretty backward area where medicine is concerned, I
asked a school nurse and was told that when they are diagnosed with
mono most kids are out about 2 weeks at most. Many don't miss any
school, depends on how soon diagnosis is made and treatment started.

I suppose everyone is different. I don't know whether Bristol had mono
or a baby, but I can tell you that I was out of school with mono for
over 2 months, almost 3 months. I had good days and bad days, and while
I was too young to drive(I was 12), I probably could have driven on good
days. Some days, my lymph nodes would swell up so much I could hardly
move. Sometimes I had a fever and flu like symptoms. It would go away
for a day or two, then come back. I really was sick for a whole school
year.


Coincidence, huh? Then Palin didn't release her medical records
during the campaign. I liked that theory.

It's also odd that there was no hospital account or note of Trig's
birth. He wasn't even listed on their birth register, which is
strange indeed. Other children are listed there but no Palin, of any
flavor. Usually that is big news in a small or isolated town,
especially if any sort of celebrity is concerned. Very unusual, at
the very least.

It doesn't seem to add up, no matter which way. But it's history,
for now. I already didn't intend to vote for that ticket.

You know what is weird? There are multiple news circles in America.
You apparently hear news that I never hear, and visa versa, I'm sure.
Blacks apparently are listening to a different channel as well.
Anyway, until today, I never heard anything about Trig not being Palin's
son. I do recall seeing some offhand comment about it here on the list
months ago, but I gave it no further thought. At the time, I could have
cared less. I really don't care too much now, but it is important to
determine the truth of the matter considering that Palin will eventually
emerge from the wilds of Alaska.

If you pin me down, I will say that Trig belongs to Bristol and Palin
took responsibility, but I have done no research on this whatsoever and
only know what I have read here...that is just my gut based on the
'facts' expressed here. It does say a lot about her, the lengths she is
willing to go to for her family. While I would have probably made the
same choice, I don't think I would have resorted to the water breaking
lie. I might have worn a fat suit, though, to protect my daughter's
reputation and to convince people that I was the one who was preggers.
It is really a sad situation for all involved, but it could have been worse.
Does it mar Palin's judgement with respect to her being a possible vice
presidential/presidential candidate? Of course. I don't think it makes
her trash or 'common as dirt' though. I think it makes her human, and
very pragmatic, a trait shared also by Obama.
