Palin confirms daughter's pregnancy

The Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has announced that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.


Bristol Palin, one of Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said.

"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the Palins' statement said.

"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support," the Palins said.

The Palins asked the news media to respect the young couple's privacy.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates," the statement concluded.

Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.

In the short period since she was announced last Friday, Palin has helped to energize the Republican Party's conservative base, giving the McCain camp fresh energy going into the campaign for the November 4th election against Democrat Barack Obama.

McCain officials said the news of the daughter's pregnancy was being released to rebut what one aide called "mud-slinging and lies" circulating on liberal blog sites.

According to these rumors, Sarah Palin had faked a pregnancy and pretended to have given birth in May to her fifth child, a son named Trig who has Down syndrome. The rumor was that Trig was actually Bristol Palin's child and that Sarah Palin was the grandmother.

A senior McCain campaign official said the McCain camp was appalled that these rumors had not only been spread around liberal blog sites and partisan Democrats, but also were the subject of heightened interest from mainstream news media.

"The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama's name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change,'" a senior aide said.


Abstinence only eh? Seems to have worked FANTASTIC.

Abstinence of oversight in the family, I wonder if they are related to the Spears or any other trailerpark trash

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
(or said another way)
Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Thats for sure. Sounds like the Dems are afraid:laughs:

Come on, picking on a kid.....that is low:hs:

You Obama people keep drinkng the kool-aid:gu:

I am not voting for any of the candidates children......so who cares?! It is low to start dragging this stuff out on their children! Are any of you in 100% control of your children at all times???

Afraid?
Wow, she accepted the VP with her family in this current state.
She put her CAREER above her family.
Wonder what she'll do to the country.

You folks do realize that these candidates are people......just like us......with the same life problems that we have! They are no better and no worse. I am guessing given her Governorship that her husband is taking care of the family duties for the most part.

yea but it's just fun to rag on them larry :devil2: :jump:

Yep, and they take time off from their jobs to deal with their "life problems" not preach.

:buds:Yes I think a lot of Obamas staff are afraid of him losing. Like I said yesterday; the mud slinging will be heavy.

And on her accepting the nod as VP candidate; Its not like she can put time on hold. Life throws people curve balls. I feel she will overcome these things.

Like Larry said; How many parents have total contol over their kids??? Alaska is 14:1 in male to female ratio. She has most likely had a bunch of young males chasing her....


Just keep drinking the Kool-Aid:buds:

How is this picking on the kid? Sounds more like picking on the mother...

-spence

'Tis merely part of being human. People have people. It's not funny, it's not sad. And It should be a happy thing.
I'll throw no stones at the human condition.
Of all the reasons that I could think of, this is not even close to why I will not vote Rebublican ever again.

There's kool-aide?

One of the biggest meth states, and has one of the highest alcoholism rates.

Lets not forget an extremely high divorce rate, suicide rate, and general effing boredom rate.

(Yeah I threw that last one in there...)

I'd bet half those glamorous crews on The Deadliest Catch were meth heads. Not like we need to go far to find more like them.

Can we atleast lay off the kid here for the most part and get back to the fact that mommy is one of the biggest proponents of "abstinence only" education and AGAINST all other forms of birth control?

I agree. They should lay off the kids (on both sides). The kids aren't running for office. So why did the DEMS bring it up ? Are they afraid of "Barracuda" ?:jester:

Seems this story was broken by Palin herself.
Not the dems.

The Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has announced that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant

And bloggers will be bloggers, they don't need the party itself to feed it info. Plenty of people on the right HATE Palin.

I heard she was goin in the plug business

mucus plug? :yak:

Why can't one campaign get caught breaking into the other campaign headquarters like the good old days. A couple of felonies later and everyone is looking for someone named deepthroat, not Linda Lovelace, to skewer. This stuff is awful mamby pamby from both sides. C'mon let the air out of someone's tires at least.

I love you nebe :rotf2:

Its all that rap music and video games.

Ya know what burns me.. How can a woman be expected to be a role model of the platform of her political party when she cant be a role model for her daughter?? If you ask me Most republican politicians who are the loudest about living their lives to the highest morals are usually the ones who have all the skeletons in the closet...

Eben....is that a stone being cast from your....glass house? (No pun intended):hee:

I believe she would consider it serving her country. Most families don't have the ability to quit their jobs to take care of family matters. I would think that she is the bread winner in the family.

I doubt they will choose abortion as a quick way of dealing with irresponsability.

And I thought you're pro-drug. Oh ya, just pot:rotf2:

Least she admitted inhaling :hee:

Nope..

And furthermore, the whole idea of the shotgun marriage of her daughter to the father of the kid is a recipe for disaster.. When the daughter does have the kid in a few months, how is Palin expected to preform as VP when she has a 17 year old kid with a newborn??????

sorry McCain.. you loose on this one.. Your choice has too much baggage.

I luv you 2 sweatphart... or is it sweetphart?? maybe its the same thing?/??? :fury::love:

I'm thinking they can get a nanny. It's a big house and they will have the staff to help out.

And how's it gonna look on her ABSTINENCE ONLY sex ed program?

Nah, just anti-retarded-laws-that-make-no-sense.

True, She did break it. After the stuff about her son being her grandson.....

This a fishing board and it gets deep. I can only imagine it gets really deep on a Obama for President board.:rolleyes:

Have some more Kool Aid and welcome Obama s socialism platform.....

Kool Aid is so 1978.
Can we come up with some new substance already?
