Maybe she is Bi-Polar...
There is always a skeleton in everyone's closet...
So it is part of Palin's record to demand the marriage license of a fellow Republican, but to ask for any medical confirmation of the mysterious birth of Trig earlier this year, any affidavit from the obstetrician, any objective evidence at all that Trig is indeed Sarah Palin's biological child is, well, in the words of John Podhoretz, "virtually unspeakable." Look: this is usually not hard at all. Births are recorded at the hospitals where they occur. And, as you might expect, there's a long list of babies born at Mat-Su Medical center, where we are told Trig was born on April 18 this year. But for some reason, Trig Palin's name is not among them.

Something's rotten in Denmark
If the intent was to stop speculation about her being Trig's mother, it worked. People counted backward and concluded that if Bristol had became pregnant five months before, then she couldn't be Trig's mother because there was some overlap.
I say let's wait and see when Bristol actually delivers. If she was five months along when her pregnancy was disclosed, then she should give birth in late December or early January. If it's any later than that, it's still possible that Trig is her son.
Hummmm !
I Can See Santa From My Front Window !!
I thought Wasilla was a yeast infection ?
The real problem would be in her mental health records and her medications. She should at least have a clean bill of health considering John McCain's health history.
I have tons of problems with palin's birth story for a number of reasons:
* Airlines don't usually allow women in late pregnancy to fly. palin was in her 8th month when she went to Texas to give a speech at the republican governors convention.
* Airlines would certainly not let a woman in labor fly.
* Since the amniotic sac often breaks during advanced stages of labor, why did palin risk her own and her baby's safety by flying back to Alaska?
* Even more troubling is that she allegedly knew this was a down syndrome baby, and that her water broke a month before the baby was due. Premature births are often accompanied by rapid labors. This was palins 5th child, so her labor and delivery are very likely to be pretty quick anyway. How could she be sure that the PREMATURE birth would be safe - and that she wouldn't give birth in flight?
* Why would she so recklessly endanger her baby and herself by flying back to Alaska, amniotic fluid leaking, instead of having her baby in Texas?
this story reeks to the high heavens.
incident is just crazy. it is almost as if she was trying to lose the baby.
Palin's children were born in 89, 91, 95, 01 and 08. Now, I suspect the Guv is very fertile, and has had to (a) use some form of birth control or (b) had either miscarriages and/or abortions if no birth control was used. Personally, after 3 kids, I used several methods of birth control until I finally had a tubal ligation at age 33 (no dr would do it before then because I might "change my mind" about having more kids--as usual, they thought a woman didn't know her own mind).
I suspect that because the Guv is so against birth control, abortion, for "abstinence" and against sex ed in the schools, she is taking a pretty hypocritical stance publicly. Along with her charging rape victims for the kits to collect evidence, cutting of funds for "unwed" young mothers, etc., it's just seems weird that she would not submit her own medical records, even if it had to do with her ob/gyn record. To not do so implies she does have something to hide.
There are just some things you aren't supposed to hide, and simply because it involves "personal" issues doesn't cut it. Isn't having a heart attack or stroke as personal as you can get? I don't give her a pass on the ob/gyn thing, kids or not.
Perhaps the girl's family couldn't afford to keep a Down Syndrome baby, so the Palins kept their grandchild (which would also give her a lot of sympathy among the public if she claimed it for her own).
Just fishing around here...
Gotta citation for that other than the National Enquirer?
Folks, why can't we leave the kids alone? It's not their fault their mother is a political whore and a bad mom.
can't someone get the DNA of that kid on some refuse and match it with the mother? I watch Law & Order. Get an old diaper and a hair from Palin. Easy.
Connect the dots:
-- she went to how many different colleges? 6? 7? Would drop out after a period of time?
-- She has mood swings?
She suffers from depression.
AND while we're at it, WHERE ARE CINDY MCCAIN'S TAX RECORDS???? Has Obama or Biden withheld any requested information???
I'll bet you any amount of money she has depression or a personality disorder. Look at her past....
THANK you!
Tinfoil hats mess up a person's hair.
yes, it DOES matter who the mother of Trig is!
There are bigger fish to fry here. enough of the tin foil hats and conspiracy theories. How about the fact that her husband belonged to a secessionist group? That's just a pleasant way of saying "white supremecist group."
Also, knowing their strict religious background she may not realize that the rest of us have figured out her first child was born less than nine months after her wedding.
How is that possible? Down's Syndome is a chromosomal anomaly. Do you have a citation?
Are you saying that some other birth defects are sometimes classified as Down's when they are not?
Also, I believe Gov. Palin knew by the fifth month of her pregnancy about the Down's.
We have National Enquirer saying she had an affair with the first dudes business partner. Maybe business partner had a STD?
C'mon Sarah. Fess up and our imaginations will find more useful activities.
Here's something for the conspiracy theorists: Alaska has the highest per capita rates of incest and rape. Hmmm. Who IS the father of the Down Syndrome baby. Just askin'.
Having experience a leaking amniotic sac, I can assure you that even a small leak is a rather messy situation, as amniotic sac ruptures are accompanied by labor, and the labor contractions squeeze the uterus and force fluid out of the leak. A full rupture brings a big, soaking gush of fluid w/ every contraction (ironically referred to as a 'dry birth').
Did Todd run out to a drugstore during palin's speech and buy a box of Depends for the flight home? What does the airline say about this particular flight?
The incidence of Down syndrome rises with increasing maternal age. Many specialists recommend that women who become pregnant at age 35 or older undergo prenatal testing for Down syndrome. The likelihood that a woman under 30 who becomes pregnant will have a baby with Down syndrome is less than 1 in 1,000, but the chance of having a baby with Down syndrome increases to 1 in 400 for women who become pregnant at age 35. The likelihood of Down syndrome continues to increase as a woman ages, so that by age 42, the chance is 1 in 60 that a pregnant woman will have a baby with Down syndrome, and by age 49, the chance is 1 in 12. But using maternal age alone will not detect over 75% of pregnancies that will result in Down syndrome.
I think everyone is overlooking the fact that she probably has a personality disorder or suffers from clinical depression. Look at her history and what people say about her; the 6 colleges in 3 years, the mood swings, the narcissim....
Another possibility is that the baby isn't a downs baby at all, but suffered from birth defects caused by Bristol's or Willow's partying while preggo. Fetal Alcohol and autism are closely associated with the birth mother's conduct while pregnant.
"Down syndrome occurs with an estimated frequency of 1 in 600-800 live births"
1 in 600/800 is an ocean away from your 1 in a million claim.
Also, less than one in one thousand Down's births to women under 30 does not take into account with much detail those births of teenage mothers.
And, your comment does not even take into account translocation of 13, 14, 15, 21 or 22 chromosomes of the parents, whoever they are, and all of those conditions can lead to a Down's birth.
With translocation, you are at increased risk of the child having Downs, in some cases as high (or higher) than 15%.
The preponderance of older women having Downs Syndrome babies has a lot to do with the increased incidence that reproductive cells will contain an extra copy of chromosome 21 as the woman ages.
However, as was stated above, trisome 21 is only one of the causes of Downs.
And, as has been mentioned, it could also be possible that the baby has FAS, rather than Downs, who knows what they are hiding? Perhaps Sarah Palin has already gone through menopause....
Also, against popular belief (this being the difference between probability and actuality) most children born with Downs Syndrome are born to younger mothers. The likelihood to have a Downs Syndrome baby increases with age, but the amount of births to older women also decreases in proportion to the greater population.
51% to mothers under 30.
72% to mothers under 35.
Regardless of the minutiae of whether or not it's possible that Bristol or Willow is the mother and the probability that the child they had would have Down's Syndrome the fact that Palin WILL NOT release her own medical records speaks volumes, once again, about how unfit to serve she is, in any capacity.
Also, found an old interesting article about drilling and when we would actually maybe see some oil from ANWR - http://kudlowsmoneypolitics.blogspot.com/2008/0...
I don't know any reputable doctor -- and I've asked a few about this -- who would clear a patient, without examining her, for an 18-hour plane ordeal, after self-reported symptoms of fluid leakage in a high-risk pregnancy -- or any pregnancy at all.
The most any doctor is going to tell you is "Go to the nearest emergency room immediately and get checked out.' Let them take responsibility. No doctor is going to put himself or herself out on a limb by saying it's OK to fly that far and that long without at least taking a look at what's going on and monitoring the fetus. Giving her a clearance long distance, without having seen her really borders on medical malpractice -- if it's not smack dab in the middle of it.
So, the fact she claims it and the doctor backs it up, stinks to high heaven of some kind of coverup in which they are both participating.
You don't need a weatherman to tell you it's raining.
Who else witnessed the event in whatever way to confirm that her water broke?
To determine the time of announcing her water breaking she needed to know the mother's time of her water breaking; any calls or emails from Alaska aorund that time.
Then, where is she going to deliver the child? Who at the hospital where Plain "gave birth" might Trig been foolin around with? Any suspects?
Was the hospital the usual hospital that she would go to?
We need to remember that when the baby story started, Sarah was still a small-town girl. She and her daughter hatched a oplot to save face and hide the daughter's pregnancy from the good people at her church and in her town who just wouldn't understand how an upright Christian girl who practised abstinence like she'd been taught could get pregnant.
When the full light of national publicity hit the Pakins, telling the truth was no longer an option.
@stymie: Trig is kinda young to be a father :-)
Why is Mooselini hiding these records? What big secret is she keeping away from the pro American people?
Mooselini seems to have many skeletons in her igloo, and it would be interesting to know what they are.
go to http:www.youtube.com and search ANYONE CAN BE VP.
