I was just reading some of the idiot posts on DU... they sure are getting desperate... is this the best “dirt” they can come up with against Sarah Palin? -— LOL

>>>>>> FROM DU <<<<

As fundamentalists, having an illegitimate child is unconscionable, especially for a public figure. So, as soon as they found out their teenage daughter was pregnant, they contrived the story that it was Sarah Palin, not her daughter, and started the coverup:

- Already knowing that she was going to have a baby with Down Syndrome, would she really risk a 13-hour trip on several airplanes, considering the negative effect it could have had on the health of the baby? (just an aside, does this show “good judgement”?)

- They took the daughter out of school 6-8 months earlier, until after the birth. She may have had mononucleosis, but that lasts a month or two, not 6 or 8!

- The truth is that she had to “give birth” in Alaska, because that was where her daughter was. How would they explain how “her” baby was born in Alaska while she was in Texas?

- They also waited months until they announced that Sarah was pregnant, forstalling the obvious questions and scrutiny (i.e., “why don’t you look pregnant?”, etc.) until shortly before the baby was to be born. It’s already been reported that no one around her ever noticed that she looked “pregnant” anyway.

- Notice that in all official photographs beginning in March she wore a ski jacket, even indoors!! That covered up the fact that she was NOT pregnant.

- There is a family picture from April (wish I knew how to post photographs) where the daughter has an obvious bulge (NOT the type of belly a teenager would already have if not pregnant), the other two daughters are wearing SHORT SLEEVE shirts but Sarah is wearing a heavy sweater or jacket and standing partly behind one of the daughters.

- Finally, a pregnant woman’s face and hands get a little pudgy during late stages of pregnancy. The appearance of her face just a month before the birth is identical to recent photographs, just 2-3 months later.

It just doesn’t add up - they are lying to cover up their failing (in the eyes of rightwing conservatives, anyway) as parents and the perceived shortcomings of them and their daughter.

Remember, NONE of this happened with the thought that she would ever be running for president. If she was only going to be governor of a state of 700,000 people, this would never have come under the scrutiny that it has today.

Thank you so much for posting that. They really are insane, aren’t they?

People are so stupid. When I had my first baby at 42 I didn't show until I was between 6 and 7 months pregnant. I wanted to look pregnant. People were constantly saying that from behind I didn't look pregnant even full term. And I was 5'1", 115 lbs before pregnancy. I only gained 9 lbs because the baby took all my food plus I was sick alot and I don't remember my hands and face getting pudgy. And maybe Sarah and Todd didn't tell people about the pregnancy because they were afraid she could miscarry.
