What is up with all these rumors about Trig Palin??

Question

I've been reading all over the internet that Trig is Bristol's son, not Sarah's. I personally don't believe it. Sarah Palin has been fighting corruption and lies for all her life, I don't think she would just lie on this one. Plus, admitting that Trig is Bristol's son shows more strength on Bristol's part for not having gotten an abortion. People would actually like her even more for being an average person. What do you think?

Answer 1

I suspect that Obama supporters are behind this rumor. It may be true, or not true, but who is breaking the story? Obama supporters. Little Green Footballs outs Obama supporters as smearing Palin:

Answer 2

the odds for a 40+ woman having a down syndrome baby is high while the odds for a teenager is ridiculously  low

here's a picture of sarah palin and to me it looks like she's pregnant:

Answer 3

Actually a baby with down syndrome can be born to someone at any age.It's more likely with mature woman, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for a younger person.  I know my bestfriends cousin has a baby with down syndrome and she is only 16 yrs. old.

Answer 4

Let's take Gov. Palin at her word, after all, we have NO evidence (other than some serious attempts at connecting the dots) that the baby is not hers.

So, if we take her at her word, we are to understand that her water broke during a conference in Texas; that she gave her talk, and took a very long plane ride home to Alaska to deliver her baby.

Once a woman's water breaks is a very sensitive time for the baby. Women are strongly encouraged to get to the hospital (if they are having a hospital delivery) since they are very susceptible to sepsis which could harm the baby severely.

Taking Gov. Palin at her word, which I do, means she accepted incredibly irresponsibly not to tell anyone she was with in Texas that she had a high risk pregnancy (tests showed her baby had Down's Syndrome) and to take a long flight once she was exposed.

I don't care one whit  if it was her baby or not.  I do care about judgement from my potential vice president, and this is pretty irresponsible behavior.

Answer 5

I doubt if it's true.  I've seen video and photos of Sarah Palin where she looked very pregnant, and the supposed family photo where Bristol shows a little bulge is from 2006.  We should let this rest.

Answer 6

I think Palin is a fool for accepting this. She has  alot more going on in her life,than playing with McShane!!!!

Answer 7

Bristol is too young to have a downs syndrome baby, so it makes sense that it is Sarah's.  You see when a women over the age of 40 makes a CHOICE to have a child, they are also making the CHOICE of having a much higher risk of having a downs syndrome child. The poor kid.

Answer 8

I think that those who are attacking her on this issue, to break her down, are messing with the wrong person.

Up here in Alaska, you don't get between a mother bear and her cubs.

I have a feeling that's going to be the SECOND most dangerous place to be in the coming weeks.

Liberals!!   Do you think Sarah Palin needs anything more lies to get her ready to fight for the Republican ticket?

Answer 9

I thought this story was crazy at first. But it has not been disproven yet. It this turns out to be true than I think it shows a lot more deceit than strength. It does not take a lot of strength to create a lie, just desperation.

Answer 10

Dont know if it is true but it is suspicious. As for the people on here complaining about smears. Repubs have been smearing Obama this whole time. How about a little taste of your own medicine.

Answer 11

Eve's needs to stop drinking so much Kool Aid.  Just another liberal effort to smear another american citizen.

Answer 12

Desperate Obamats

Answer 13

First off, her daughter was pulled out of a Catholic school, which they basically forbid teenage pregnancy, for more than 5 months. they said she had mono, which usaully lasts no more than 2 weeks sometimes a couple months if very very very very severe. She is going to make McCain look like more of an A$$ than he already does...take a lookat the article below and look at all the HIGH QUALITY pictures of Sarah Palin (Not sperminated) and then look at her daugher (Sperminated). Seems like one lie after another with this one...Good Choice McCanin...idiot

Answer 14

she cursed those children with horribly stupid names.

apologies to anyone named trig or bristol reading this.

Answer 15

I don't believe it either. Every Dem is just searching for one little thing to blow out of proportion because they're scared that she's what will give McCain the advantage. There's no conspiracy here.

Answer 16

I think it's a rummer because she was really tiny during her pregnancy.

She didn't announce until she was in her seventh month.  Reporters were all shocked.   I've seen a few lucky women who carried this way.  We have to consider that most Down Syndrome babies are born to babies over 40.  I don't like her, but i think this one is untrue.

Answer 17

AND that is an issue because? desperate obama supporters are you?

Answer 18

I'm not sure how Trig's pedigree affects her eligibility to be Vice President of the United States.

Answer 19

if the democratic party has to step to these levels,it shows exactly how sexist and scared they are.that she will take hold in american politics.i have a few words for them.she already has and we will be hearing things from her for years to come!

Answer 20

I've heard it too. None of the pictures taken of Palin show signs of her pregnancy, she didn't announce it until she was 7 months pregnant, her daughter was taken out of school for 5 months at the same time, claiming she had mono, and her daughter looks like she might have been pregnant in a photo a few months before his birth.

Answer 21

Guess what ..even if it was true its nobodies business except thiers

what a bunch of hypocrites.

Answer 22

It's just the Obama campaign dispensing it's usual mean spirited lies.

Answer 23

What's a trig and a bristol?

Answer 24

There isn't any direct evidence, which is what we'd have to have for me to believe an extraordinary story like this.

I suspect the rumors are a result of Palin being brought into the national spotlight, seemingly out of nowhere. They'll probably start to fade after the nation has known about her for longer than a week.

Answer 25

No you're right...she would PROUDLY have displayed her daughter to the world instead of pulling her out of school for 5 months.  uh huh.

Oddly there is NOT ONE SINGLE picture of Palin pregnant (well they have her with LAYERS AND LAYERS of clothes but no bulge)...and her co-workers were STUNNED to learn she was 7 months pregnant as she didn't look preggers at all.

Hmmm....wonder if they will ask about THAT?

Take a look at daughter paunch too....if it was belly fat it would be much higher....sure looks like a stretched uterus to me.

Smoke and mirrors....THAT is what they had against her to get her on board is MY GUESS....you know that's how they like to do things those illum..... those republicans....it's pretty well government wide however...

VOTE OBAMA...you have to KNOW he is not part of THAT scene!!!!

Oh and if it WAS her daughter...it's also quite possible the baby had FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME rather than downs...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31M_GDVYL...

But that would be another rumour....

In any case NEVER drink while your preggers...ever....

Oh and as for LIKING HER MORE?

Hardly...she's full of BS like I always suspected and knew it the minute I laid eyes on her.

Answer 26

It's not true. It's more liberal smears, designed to undermine her pro-life stance and make a mockery of family values.

Answer 27

""admitting that Trig is Bristol's son shows more strength on Bristol's part for not having gotten an abortion""

Hmmm not hardly. Mothers don't care much for those who choose to bring a special needs child into the world then runs off with other stuff to do.

Answer 28

WE ALL DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT. Look at John Edward's everyone didn't believe it but it came out to be true. There are A LOT of reasons why Sarah would cover it up. Sarah Palin believes in abstinence and not s*x education. That would imply that method doesn't work, which we ALL know it DOESN'T WORK! Clear evidence of photo's of Bristol which were deleting on Sarah Palin's website, it shows Bristol gaining in only the b***s, and the belly in 2007. Look at Bristol in 2006 and she is skinny. There is no clear evidence that Sarah was pregnant. All you see is her trying to wear jackets or big sweaters, but anyone can do that. Sarah Palin's own staff have gone on record saying they didn't know a month before the baby came. Sarah was also giving a speech in Texas when she claims her water broke, but continued for 25 minutes to give a speech to big oil, then gets on a plane to fly back to Alaska in which Flight Attendants have gone on record saying it was NOT apparent that she was pregnant. However, Bristol was taken out of school for 5 months because of claims from mono. First off I don't know who is out of school for that long from mono, my friend who had serious mono was out for 3 weeks, and my friend also LOST weight and didn't gain in only the b***s and belly. This story is true people in Alaska have been stating that. Next Sarah has already lied, she is being investigated for her abuse of power by firing a state trooper who so happens to be her ex brother in law that was in a custody fight with her sister.

Now, I can tell you one thing we can't say this story is true or not true, but it deserves to be investigated just like the John Edward's story deserved to be investigated. Why is it important well it will show you that there are ONLY benefits into educating your children about s*x, instead of hoping they just not have it s*x... that is not realistic. Another thing if this story is true and let's say Sarah only did this to protect her political career, which to me she sounds like a true politician because she claimed earlier that she would not accept a VP position if asked because her focus was on Alaska. Also this will be emotionally damaging to Bristol in the long run if it is her baby and she was forced into this lie. Also did anyone notice Bristol is wearing a ring on her wedding finger, you can see it when John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his VP.

here is a video on this subject from a reader who is reasonable

Answer 29

You're right.  This Daily Kos rumor has already been debunked.  Do you think if Bristol was the one pregnant, and they wanted to hide the fact, that they would have positioned the family member the way they did in that photo?  At the very least, they would have put her in the second row.

I am so disgusted with The Daily Kos and outlets of their ilk when they don't care who they hurt.  They just want to advance their agenda at all cost.  Typical left wing tactic.  Personal irrelevant attacks at children!  I hope our D colleagues on Y!A will refrain from this.

Disagree with the candidate and their positions, fine.  But leave the kids out of it.
