Steve, I am concerned that the history books from which you learned are still out there today and are being taught to our youth. You are simply generalizing a number of your assertions. BTW– it’s not an *insult to throw around words like “liberal” and “leftist.” It simply makes you look like an uninformed name-calling frat boy. No one is “scared to death” because Palin is a great candidate and good for our country. That is ludicrous. If anything, people are scared that she stands a chance to be VP (or Pres) while being completely ignorant on the issues. She is a joke and McCain and his campaign have made a mockery of our country and the political process. Her popularity is a true testament that ignorance can sometimes reign supreme in this country, i.e.–the past two elections. The truth is that the “far left crazies” ideas and plans also include and would benefit people like you. This country is about progress, Steve. I want to know if you rail against the infrastructure and things like Social Security? How about the FDIC or equality? In my research, the people who most utilize government programs like welfare are “conservatives” in RED states. McCain still collects on disability & Social Security. Seems a bit hypocritical. Oh, wait, I forgot… he’s a “maverick.” Also, the people running for the #1 and #2 positions in the entire free world SHOULD have to disclose their medical records. John McCain still has not released his records. He is 72 years old and has had several bouts of cancer. Don’t you think that it is important that he reveal the state of his health? Especially when he has some half-wit as his running mate? Obama’s records are only several pages because he is in his 40’s and is healthy. Ms. Palin should release hers as well… if anything, to clear up the whole pregnancy crap. If she has nothing to hide, then she would. It would also help her, I believe, if she is telling the truth… She could once again be the victim. She is not applying for a job at the DMV… she’s applying for the job of VP of the United States of America. Quit being so emotional and start trying to be at least a little objective with the help of some common sense. I would like to think that with access to so much information these days that I would read intelligent discourse on blogs. Instead, there is name calling, crazy cheerleading not based on any kind of fact and devout partisanship without the ability to step back and consider or research how our country got into the mess it is in today. If it is “sick” to demand to know about our candidates to make an informed decision come November 4, then so be it. The Right clearly does not want us to know too much about Ms. Palin, and probably for good reason. I am sure that there will be a number of “Steve’s” voting, but I firmly believe that there will be more people who are sick to death of being dicked around by the Republicans. Also, it is simply not true that the majority of Americans are “conservative” and with 81% of Americans believing we are on the wrong track after 8 years of conservative rule, I would think that your main argument would be different. Truth is, the majority of Americans believe in progressive ideas… and are getting more and more so every day. I know exactly where you got your assertion… I looked it up and OMG! I f0und it on Rush Limbaugh and a number of other right-wing talking head shows. Shocker. Well, the debates are tonight. Should be interesting. After all, the Left is being accused of sexism all over the place (which is so damn funny), but the only thing I keep reading and watching is how Biden has to watch how he talks to her and can’t be argumentative or belittling (you know… how McCain treated Obama). In essence, she just has to show up and not drool on herself. That is how far the bar has been lowered. That, to me, is sexist on its face and tragic for the United States of America. P.S. I wonder how you felt when the Right was crucifying Clinton for a personal matter? You know that over a million dollars of tax payer dollars went to Ken Starr and his witch hunt to find out the truth about a blow job, right? I remember him being touted as a disgrace to our country and how it was time to get someone with high moral fiber and ethics into office. My, how things have changed in 8 years.

Steve is a Bottom…. I love America for it’s potential, but we are the most backwards country in the western hemisphere… Our Daughters have images of Slutty Teen Idols to look up to. Our Athletic system is diseased and suspect from Steriods and Gambling, just Flat out cheating. Our Sons have images of Drug induced pop / rock / rap “gangsters to emulate. We’re fighting an unpopular war, we may be winning on the ground, but at what cost? Our Drug Laws are Archaic and our legal system has become so rotten that we can no longer protect our most beloved resource, our children. Our Debt is ridiculous, Education sucks, but worst of all those Damn Hippies have been trying to educate the world about conservation, and pollution; as a direct result of our Earth neglect we have been confronted head on with the after effects ie. tsunamis, earthquakes, and an orgy of hurricanes not to include our rising fuel prices. But, don’t worry because Palin and McCain (I use Sarah’s name first because John is really her Bee-otch) say we can drill, and bomb ourselves out of trouble…

Excuse me Steve, but is Conservative a new word for “Racist”? It’s not about just trying to win this thing and to prove to Black folks and Liberals that Conservatives Rock!…. it’s about our country…perhaps you have had your head in the sand for the 8 years but we are fighting two wars, there are countless other uprisings happening daily, al-Qaeda is stronger and more deadlier than ever, the world is not flat, sex education is not about having sex but actually health, other countries have been focusing on education while we have been moose hunting and caribu watching, there have been 1,000,000 homes lost to foreclosure (and this thing is not over yet), there is a housing, banking, education and health crisis in our country, our national debt and deficit are the highest it’s ever been in the history of this country, tens of thousands of people are losing their jobs… and Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863!!!!

You people are sick beyond sick!! Demanding that she release her medical records? Why don’t you demand that Obama release his? Oh wait it has been asked of him and yet all he has provided is a 1 page letter from his doctor stating that he is fit while John McCain has released HUNDREDS of pages of his medical records. You people really need to get a life. Bottom line Sarah Palin has all you leftist, who had convinced yourselves that your guy (Obama) was unbeatable, scared to death that he now might lose. Of course he is going to lose because the majority of people in this country are Conservative!! Hell the founding fathers were Conservative!! This country was founded on Conservative principals. So, as much as you hate it, the majority still rules in this country and it’s high time we stop letting your far left crazies in the minority have your way!! GO GO GO McCain/Palin!

Are we overlooking the obvious other answer? Sarah Palin has TWO daughters that could possibly have been Trig’s mother. Willow is 14 - young, but old enough to be a mother.

So Trig was born April 18th.

Couple of things. I still believe there is a chance that Trig is Bristols, but even if he isnt the judgement that Sarah showed with Trig was very poor. After your water breaks(leaks) it is very important to seek medical attention. Not wait from 4AM until lunch to speak at a covention then take a commercial flight and 1 hour drive to a small hospital for assistance.

Back to Trig being Sarah’s.

We have no proof of how far along Bristol is.
We have no proof Trig was born on April 18th.
Look how large Bristol is already at 5 months. Funny you couldnt tell her mom was pregnant at 7 months.
Look how large Trig is already at suposedly 3.5 months. He was 6.2 pounds at Birth. He looks pretty large now.

I am the father of 3 children. My wife started labor with both children with her water breaking. She was immediatly admitted to the hospital and was not allowed to get out of bed. After her first child she couldnt get anywhere near 5 months without showing big time.

r u kidding me please, this has nothing to do with attacking this young lady..although it’s sad…question…who was her mom, oops excuse me, hockey pitball mom, giving all these obstain from sex talks to…. the hockey team… nope, then the captain wouldn’t have knocked up her daughter…. oh and by the way, I don’t know what type of quack would allow his 43 year old patient to fly 12 hours, only to drive another 40 to deliver a baby with downs syndrome after her water broke….do you? Palin is about to be a grandmommie…oops I mean, a hockey pitball grandmommie again!

Who says she is 5 months pregnant? Oh, the same people who in the rumor were covering everything up. Well, they can’t be doubted. Doubting them twice in a row would be double-jeopardy, which is senseless and illegal. Right? If she isn’t 5 months pregnant… well, by the time that truth comes out, it will be after the election, so let’s just consider that water over the dam, shall we?

I guess I’ve fallen to a new low in my life, that of being a ‘conspiracy nutter’. This pregnancy of her’s sounds so unbelievable that I’m viscerally compelled to search out and collect every tidbit of info and rumor.

As a retired physician, it’s my belief that it’s impossible to delay birth for a month

after ones water has broken. It appears Sarah is prepared to go to any length to

further the career she imagines in her thoughts. Her verbal fluency has allowed

her to speak and talk her way into and out of situations in which she finds herself.

Not uncommon, but when coupled with a delusional view of imagined goals it’s

a tragic situation, especially as she aspires to the office of Vice President of the U.S.

Andrew Sullivan isn’t running for the job of Vice President of the U.S. - a heart beat from the presidency - she is. It’s a valid question given the fact that she has made her social conservatism a major selling point in more than one campaign, pointing out her strong opposition to abortion (even in cases of rape or incest) and her support for “abstinence only” education being taught schools. If she in fact faked the pregnancy to protect her daughter and her political career, it might demonstrative of what we could expect of her as president. We already know now that she misrepresented the facts about the “bridge to nowhere.” What else is she hiding?

If you provide the evidence to substantiate your claim that Palin ‘misrepresented the facts’ it would make your subsequent question rather more reasonable.
As it stands it’s just an unsubstantiated claim.
