Shouldn’t Bristol’s kid have been born by now? (Assuming there is a kid) I haven’t seen anything on it.

Sarah Palin and her republican associates are an embarrassment to the United States. I’m thankful that she is not second in command, as the rest of the world would be laughing at our incompetence and rightly so. I am a strong and attractive woman and admire such people BUT Sarah and other stupid people like her will never represent me. That lady is a joke and I feel sorry for her children.

Again, if you’ll look back to the previous comments, you’ll see that I was obviously addressing the ones who say that “the truth about Sarah Palin” will come out in Oct or Nov. Like I tell my children.. if you didn’t say it or do it, don’t worry about it. So you can stop here or choose to read on:
You don’t believe everything you read when it comes to Palin and her belly for heaven’s sake?Why do you automatically believe the so called appearance of a birth certificate. He wouldn’t even qualify to be his own secret service guy for cryin’ out loud. Research it, he doesn’t meet the qualifications to be a secret service agent but can be the President? What’s wrong with that picture? By the way, I am the mother of a child with Down Syndrome and at 9 months gestation, I was wearing regular jeans. Again, the baby’s low tone makes them more floppy and more easily concealed. I’m also in the medical field for pediatrics. I also was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about a month ago so I do my medical homework and unfortunatley, I live it. When you get more information on “what a pregnant woman must look like” according to ‘Kathleen’ standards and if it’s credible, feel free to share it. Until then, I encourage you to not say much more about how a woman should look at 24-32 weeks gestation. You’re only revealing your lack of education in this area. Where do you say Trig comes from since the timing of her daughter’s pregnancy negates that whole theory….and why do you care? If it’s an integrity issue for you, you have plenty of those to worry about while supporting the 44th President of the US.
By the way, why would you assume you need to answer the “Now what do I say? question when as far as I can tell, none of these comments above to which I was replying were written by you?Were they? Thanks for your opinion anyway. Everything you said is uncredible and without supporting info, You article proves nothing. I think we were all smart enough to know they would eventually “cough up” a birth certificate. And, they did. So…that fixes everything for shallow people like yourself who are more concerned about a woman’s pregnant belly (someone who is no longer even in the race…So again, why do you care.?) Look around at your country..you have bigger fish to fry so grow up. The only reason I entertained the Sarah Palin pregnant belly is that I can relate to her situation and it struck a very painful nerve, especially when you long for a normal pregnancy and are showing so little that people don’t even know to ask when the baby is due. Did you ever think of that side of the coin..who you may be hurting, or do you care? I think I know the answer to that question.
And to “Super Prematurely” comment,,,what??? What does an incubator have to do with anything. Every baby is put into an incubator following birth, even at full term to raise its body temperature. That’s what that bed is with the plastic casing and the little door to put you hand through, is. Maybe you were referring to a ventilator, which would make more sense..sort of, except that a baby who is only one month premature is often not a big deal at all and many, in fact, leave the hospital in the same length of time as a full term baby.
Thanks again, Kathleen. You give me the warm fuzzies. I pray that God sustains your health so that you will never have to know “the other side of the coin.” God bless you. May his mercies and grace be bestowed upon you.

Kristin, there is no missing birth certificate for President Elect Obama. Instead of standing on your soapbox and accusing others of being judgmental, you should get the beam out of your own eye:

“FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.”

Now what do I say? I say I still believe Palin lied and she is not the child’s mother. I don’t know anything about “that truth that was supposed to come out in Oct or Nov.” I do know there are photos of Palin in Alaska newspapers which says they were taken in her sixth and seventh months, and there is no way the woman in those photos is that far along… maybe she’s a week pregnant, but certainly not six or seven months! I’ll stop believing she lied when the Anchorage Daily News and The Alaska Journal post corrections for the dates of the photos. Trig was supposedly born on April 18, 2008, one month premature.

Take a look:

So, all you people that said Sarah was a grandmother rather than a 5th time mom, now what do you say? Where’s that “truth” that was supposed to come out in Oct or Nov? You already had the truth in front of you and insisted on spreading rumors anyway. Is Bristol faking her bulge? What right do you have? If many of you would take the time to educate yourselves, you might save yourself a foot in the mouth. Firstly, many being informed of a pregnancy at Sarah’s age would agree to an amnio even if abortion is not an option. Knowing of Down Syndrome ahead of time just might help you better prepare for the birth ahead of time and give time to deal with a flood of emotions, you think? Oh no…we have to jump to the worst case judgment…I’m in the medical field and would like to share this to those of you who seem to know so much about Down’s pregnancies but only contradict your intelligence by your senseless comments. Down Syndrome babies have a very floppy low musle tone which often involves a lower birth weight as well a “less showing pregnancy.” And finally, one’s claim to a conviction of abstinence does not insure perfection or 100% good choices of our free willed children. I can teach my child abstinence all his/her life but that does not guarantee he or she will always resist temptation and make the right choice. However, neither does providing them with a condom insure they will use it. What makes more sense here? And…who are you to judge? Can’t help but laugh at your ignorance in the matter. How in the world do you possibly know how Sarah and Todd parent in their home? A pregnant teen-ager tells you nothing about parenting skills but much about a person’s free will regardless of what they are taught. I would be embarrassed to make such judgment calls as you have and in fact, am embarrassed for you. I pray God show you a little more grace and mercy than you have demonstrated at your time of judgment. Oh and “saddled with Down Syndrome?”..I think she (Sarah) has used to word “blessed” more than “saddled” and who are you to contradict that? And as for you who thought an abortion would “save face”??..I hope you’re never faced with the decision to kill or keep a baby just because he/she doesn’t meet your specs. I would gladly adopt “your damaged goods” to keep as “my treasure.” Shame on you, Vee and others. Thank you, Suek and Ken.
Oh…by the way, speaking of birth certificates or lack thereof…I would be much more concerned about the missing birth certificate of our President Elect than I would be of the grandchild of a former VP candidate.

OK,
I don’t know if any of this is true or false, but I do know a few things about being pregnant and delivering babies. First, once you lost amniotic fluid, doctors want you to deliver the baby ASAP, because the baby then has a higher risk of infections and such (because of not being protected by the fluid anymore) so I don’t know any doctors who would NOT have said something to this woman about how completely silly flying back home was.
Any mother who would choose to fly for 10 hours after her water broke…(not even mentioning the fact that this pregnancy would have been considered ”high risk” due to the baby being down’s syndrome AND the mother being 44) is making a pretty stupid decision, and anybody willing to make such a selfish, stupid decision is NOT fit to be VP of ANYTHING! let alone a whole country!!! let alone one as powerful as the USA… I just wish Americans were capable of making smart rational decisions…. not one based on ridiculous things like celebrities opinion… if this campaign/election has shown the world anything… its that economy, healthcare, education … are all very secondary if you want to be president of the US …

This was Palin’s 5th child and there is NO WAY that a mother spends 10 HOURS in labor with a 5th child. No way. None. Zip. Zippo. Zilch. That child should have popped out as soon as her water broke. And, to not show ANY signs of labor on the plane? We know one thing. And we DO know it. No speculation. Her water did not break before that flight. It did not happen and if she said it did, she’s lying.

3 out of the 4 have released their medical records and the 4th, Sara Palin, said she was going to. But she hasn’t. And she won’t. Look, I don’t care that her daughter is a slut who will have had 2 babies before 18. I really don’t. But when the woman who wants to be our president lies to us, straight to our face, that makes me wonder what else she would lie about, straight to our face. It also, of course, says plenty about her (apparently only) qualification for this job — that she’s a “hockey mom”. Anyone who raises a child that gets knocked up twice before 18 is, by definition, NOT a good mother, period.

There’s only one reason for her not to release her medical records: What is in those records is more damning than the rampant (and justified) speculation. If none of this is true, then she’s subjecting her daughter to this media scrutiny unnecessarily. So, either way, she is a GIANT failure as a mother.

As for McCain vetting her, he didn’t. That much is clear.
