Palin's Newborn Possibly Not Hers?

Mr_Vindictive · September 01, 2008, 11:03:29 AM

Ok, before this thread starts, know that I'm not jabbing at any particular side by posting this. I'm quite the liberal, but I actually kinda like Palin for some reason. She stands for most everything I disagree with, but I think she's a good candidate for VP.

Anyway, Daily Kos thinks that her newborn actually isn't hers but is her 16 year old daughter's child. Their evidence certainly does point towards them being right.

Thoughts????

I'm not believing it just because Alaska, and ESPECIALLY the Alaska State Government can't keep a secret, I don't believe there is any way they could pull this off. Anchorage Daily News had deep enough contacts to blast the fact that Her child has a developmental disorder all over the headlines the very same day the child was born (In about the most class-less way possible), there's no way they wouldn't have know who the child came out of. As for the daughter's flab, , that's something nearly all Alaska woman have, we just don't have nearly as many anorexic beanpoles, she actually looks on the thinner side of average for girls her age.

Looks like her daughter just has a little ponch belly, to me. A lot of girls I know have bellies like that.

That cannot be Palin's unmarried daughter's baby, because her daughter is actually five months pregnant right now.

That throws a kink in a few conspiracies, doesn't it?

The Daily Kos? OH PLEASE ... provide a creditable source in the future.

Labor Day is when you announce your teenage daughter is pregnant.

Another victory for abstinence only education!

Ya know, Tars, girls from every religious, ideological, and political background get pregnant in their teens every day. Very few, if any, of their parents wanted that to happen. But as long as young men are programmed, by both biology and Hollywood, to believe that if they haven't gotten laid by the time they are 16, that they are some sort of bizarre, pathetic freak, teenage girls are going to get pregnant, get STD's, or whatever, REGARDLESS of whether they had comprehensive sex ed or abstinence based instruction. Because they all believe it won't happen to them if they give in just this once . . .

How about this: If you disagree with someone's politics, religion, or life philosophy, bashing them for it is a part of what freedom of speech is all about. But regardless of our politics, can we all agree that the candidate's kids, especially when they are minors, should be off limits?

ghouck · September 01, 2008, 06:28:35 PM

Gotta agree with you Indy, there's no book on parenting, , kids will be kids, , and lots of things happen that aren't planned or expected. No kid ends up perfect (if there is such a thing), and many have faults that aren't so obvious. 110% true on the "Because they all believe it won't happen to them if they give in just this once", that goes for LOTS of things, pregnancy, shoplifting, drugs, DWI, just plainly driving like idiots, all kinds of things. There's no saying she's not going to be an excellent mother and an upstanding, successful human being, but for some reason people feel that's not possible. Unfortunately, some people want to extend that she is a bad person, therefore her parents are bad, therefore their political positions are erroneous.

Also, you're right, the kids should be left out.

Captain Tars Tarkas · September 01, 2008, 10:20:23 PM

Not attacking the kid is fine, but Palin opened herself up to this, especially since the announcement (by the McCain campaign, not Palin) manages to bash Obama in doing so, as well as saying that a not even front page diary by a random guy on Daily Kos was causing such alarm they have to address rumors now. This is like Snickers making a press conference announcing they don't use peanuts anymore because of the 100 candy thread on this board. They made it political. I won't even get into the laundry list of insults on the Bush twins, Chelsea, Obama's daughters, or the sick kids Malkin went after on children's healthcare. Palin has dozens of bad things emerging about her now, a pregnant daughter is the least of them.

Ok, , but that's a far cry from your original post. . .

Mr_Vindictive · September 02, 2008, 12:11:32 AM

Ghouck,

I'm curious of your opinion of Palin since you are a native to Alaska. From what I've seen in your posts on this thread, you must like her as a Governor. I believe most of us have little to no knowledge of her, and her political stances at this point. I was only marginally aware of her because of Glenn Beck and his seemingly endless love for the woman.

Such as?

Surely I don't need to point out all of Nobama's bad things?

Sarah Palin is more of a man than Obama/Biden will ever be.

lester1/2jr · September 02, 2008, 10:47:11 AM

I knew when bill kristol of the Ny Times came out in favor of her that it was a bad move. that guy has never in my and probably his entire life been right about anything.

Ghouck,

I'm curious of your opinion of Palin since you are a native to Alaska. From what I've seen in your posts on this thread, you must like her as a Governor. I believe most of us have little to no knowledge of her, and her political stances at this point. I was only marginally aware of her because of Glenn Beck and his seemingly endless love for the woman.

First, she's a good Governor, , compared to Merckowsky (spelled wrong intentionally) at least. But, we have to realize she is Governing a state with about 1/5 of a % of U.S. the population, and has little expierence THERE. She has done a few things: Brought back the Longevity bonus, got rid of the Jet that Morkowski illegally bought, got the NG pipeline going on, , well, 'A' track, and a few other things. Really, she's just gotten things going that had either stalled or been wrongly stopped, and has brought nothing sizable to the table that is new. It seems some are giving her credit for getting rid of the corruption in out Governmant, , GUESS AGAIN. Those guys were under investigation LONG before she hit the office, , I'm sure they were investigating HER also, since the corruption was so widespread. The FBI did NOT even REMOTELY keep her in the loop in these regards, she had NO control over even the smallest corner of that whole fiasco. I heard he speak of "being the Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard"? BFD, , they've not been mobilzed, , most of them have already been FEDERALIZED for quite some time due to the war, so her capacity as CiC has been to, , well, , swear in and visit some troops that are currently under someone else's command, in Iraq.

Also, keep in mind that she's under he OWN investigation (One that I believe she was RIGHT in, so no worries AFAIC).

What I see is someone SEEMINGLY doing a god job, , but it's in comparison to a ,, , well ,s**tbag, like so many of this state's politicians. She's quite a looker, and comes with tons of catch-phrases in reagrds to things that just don't matter like her basketball abilities, bear hunting, general Alaskan perceived toughness, and being a new mother again at 44 or 46 years old (No matter what, some will claim that's a challenge she took on intentionally, who knows).

Either way, she seems good at what she does HERE, but she lacks MAJOR amounts of experience, and it's hard to dig through all the media crap about "The US's HOTTEST Governor", and "The True Alaskan Survivor" to see what she's done, , especially since most of it was blatantly obvious that in was the right thing to do, just based on the fact the LAST administration did the OPPOSITE.

Basically, I think she's GREAT as a governor so far, but really don't think she's experienced enough for VP YET.
