Bristol Palin is Pregnant!
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol Palin is five months pregnant and is going to marry the father.
Sarah and husband Todd Palin released this statement via the John McCain campaign:
“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. 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. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”
“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 to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”
Reuters news service, which first reported the news, says this news is “intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for [Bristol].” Trig was born this past April with Down Syndrome.

This story just keeps getting more and more bizarre. I think it is safe to say that Sarah Palin couldn’t be trusted now no matter what she does. I still don’t believe she gave birth to Trig since as governor she has a staff who she surprised with her pregnancy when at her age and Trig’s Down Syndrome she would have been at the doctor all the time….but still no one knew? Just saying. Anyway, one of these days, the truth may actually come out.
And who is Trig’s real father? I bet there is a cover-up.
Vshizzle,
Obama’s mother is not the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate.
Obama’s mother was not known to advocate abstinence over safe sex.
Obama’s mother was not known to be against sex-ed.
I’m not saying that she should drop out of the race, I’m not saying she is a bad person, or that her daughter is a bad person.
I’m just saying that as a parent, I think she failed to educate her daughter on the do’s and dont’s.
Lack of communication.
Hipocrisy.
I’m not saying that a 17yr girl having sex is taboo.
I’m saying that according to what most so called conservative republicans stand for, a 17yr old girl having unprotected sex enough times to actually get pregant is far from the FAR RIGHT.
Thats why I dont believe in the terms conservative and liberal.
Those are masks people wear in order to gain what they desire.
An image you choose.
Again, as for being a blessing, thats just the pro-life stand.
If she was caught smoking a joint, it would be a disaster, but the 17yr old girl is in bed somewhere with her bf doing all that good stuff, and its a blessing.
Great parenting Sarah.
I hope that all the hard work you put in which did not allow you to efficiently educate your daughter on sex, payed off.
I am a christian and I believe in abstinence before mariage. I am very disappointed in Sarah Palin. As a mother, she was not able to transmit our values to her own daughter and to have control on her own family. I am also disappointed in Mc Cain for choosing this woman: he said he knew her daughter was 17 and pregnant.
I am a die-hard republican and I will never vote for a democrate candidate but I will not vote for this ticket either. This year I won’t vote at all because the republican family has come up with a running candidate that doesn’t reflect my morals and none of the candidates represent me. I hope my fellow republican friends don’t vote either as a way to protest this infortunate choice of running candidates.
I’m watching CNN and McCain’s spokesperson says Sarah Palin is against corruption.
Sure. Which is why she was almost recalled as mayor of Wasilla. She put Wasilla, a twon of less than 6,000, 20 million in debt. She fired the police chief because the police chief supported her opposition. The library director was fired because the library director was against book censorship. Her husband also had a hand in running the town even though he wasn’t an elected official. Now, as governor of Alaska, she is being investigated for firing someone for not firing her ex-brother-in-law going through a bitter divorce with her sister.
She isn’t against corruption. She’s part of the problem.
The truth will come out. Don’t blame the dailykos. Anyone can post on that site. Many people objected and it was taken down, but it wasn’t an atempt to smear. There were just too many things that didn’t add up.I saw the pictures of the daughter looking pregnant and Sara not looking pregnant at all. I think she is still trying to cover up. What kind of sane person would get on an 8 hour flight while in premature labor?? -she and the baby would have been at risk. What kind of mother would go back to work after 3 days and would agree to run for vice president with a 4 month old??? Family values my ass. This shows what poor judgement McCain has-he only met her once and made an impulsive and reckless decision! It was all a ploy to get women ( and Hillary voters)does he think we are all so stupid??
She’s not old enough to vote but she’s ready to be a mother and wife? I’m interested in the success rate of shotgun marriages.
Also, this news is being released in the midst of all the hurricane Gustav coverage while they’ve all known for awhile…. how convenient for them.
I would think this young girl would need her mom now more than ever and hopefully Sarah Palin won’t fail to teach her other four children the importance and necessity of abstinence before marriage if she wants to consider herself a true conservative, Christian and role model on parenting.
The only Office I could see Palin uphold is on the set of a David Lynch movie! Wtf is wrong with this lady? Where the ell was the mother while the underage daughter was getting knocked up - for the second time!! Make her go away!!
The mother was too busy lying about the daughter’s first pregnancy. She is GROSS. Lying is a GOP trait, not an inheriently Christian trait! Fools.
I think it’s wrong for people to blame Obama for this. Palin was the one who tried to hide this situation. If she really was a good mother she never would have accepted the v. p. She should have protected her daughter from this!! Palin is in fault here not Obama and not the Daily Kos. This is just the price of fame. Now her children have to suffer for her need for power. POOR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This just goes to show the trash culture in our country. Teenagers getting pregnant constantly like it’s a normal thing and their parents being applauded for having them keep their mistakes. Sarah Palin is a criminal for not educating her children. For not providing them with basic sexual education and heath. For not educating them about preventing pregnancies. A criminal for allowing her child to have her first retarded mistake and a criminal for passing it off as her own. THATS CALLED FRAUD which should be punished with jail time. She is a criminal for failing to take the time to educate her daughter the first time around. The ***** just had to let her stupid daughter make a second mistake. How about the government starts fining schools thousands each time a teenage **** gets pregnant and puts their parents in jail for failing to educate them? teenage pregnancies will be almost nonexistant. Oh and of course that ***** Sara Palin is using her teenage ***** recent mistake to court prolife mental cripples in the election. McCain you failed. If you hoped to get Hilarys votes let me tell you you didn/t. Maybe you’ve gotten the votes of trash like britney and jamie lyn and their whorish mother. But thats about it. YAY THE TRAILER PARK VOTES! Some campaign!!!
Megan:
Here we go again with the word “liberal” .
Bringing up the subject of abortion.
Its interesting to see how those who want to abolish abortion, can turn the subject around like that.
Megan, the fact that she’s choosing ” life”, and making a statement by having her daughter go through with the pregnancy is not taking responsibility, and its not any consolation.
She was irresponsible when she alloyed her daughter to get pregnant without planning it.
I’ll bet that will be their catch-phrase:
” I CHOSE LIFE”
I can see it now, just like WAG THE DOG.
Thats your opinion Megan. PRO-LIFE is only an opinion.
Just like t is my opinion, that Only when we begin to live for ourselves, and not for god, will we advance long enough to leave this planet.
Never lbase your argument on an OPINION.
How convenient of her to release this statement while catestrophic storm Gustov is taking up news stations 24-7.
WOW…wonder if McCain regrets now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shell @ 09/01/2008 at 1:41 pm I am utterly convinced that George McCain is an idiot! How could his camp, armed with this information, still nominate her?
This woman is a liar and worst yet a hypocrite. Her own family doesn’t respect her views, why the hell should we? My single working mother manages to raise her daughters with self respect and dignity. And you know what? We didn’t come home pregnant. If Sarah runs her own home so poorly, imagine how she would run the country! Do we really need a teenage mother in the white house? It would be like a white house endorsement of teen pregnancy.
Personally this doesn’t bring an end to those rumors. It just makes me wonder what else this morally questionable woman is hiding.
———————————————————————————————
So true-that didn’t answer any thing. I believe she is hiding a lot more. I would have more respect if she came out and apologized for lying about Trig and ask forgiveness instead creating another lie to cover up her last lie. Now I have no respect for her. You know the old saying “Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.” The republicans are so nervous about this that they are planting their people on sites to post continuous to shot this down.
Here comes another Republican Cover up!
So Jared no apology for printing crap from that nutty liberal blog full of misogyny ‘ queens” as fact, so let’s see, Trig is 4 months old and her daughter is 5 months pregnant and the whole reason for the story was the mother pretended that she was…. O please it’s to stupid to even retell but liberal and democrat losers are still going after her family just so they can discredit her, sad do you guys have any morals, besides wanting desperately the ability to kill a baby if the pregnancy doesn’t fit into your pathetic lives and then feeling some how superior when other people take the hard road and pay for their mistakes, instead of killing a life.
I can’t beleive that some people are going to vote for this women. I am ashamed of what is happening here. This women is a complete joke and should resign ASAP!
This even gets worse. Now I agree she has some really poor judgement. How can you rebutt rumours by using your daughter like that? They have to realise that no one is going to blindly believe that their daughter who missed school the last how many months is now pregnant and they are cool about it. She is ultra conservative with some really dated birth control methods. How then can she still advocate for them when they failed where her daughter is concerned? Is saying that she is going to marry the father of the baby at 17 supposed to make us applaud and forget it all?
My head is spinning over all this. What next? That her daughter conveniently lost the baby like she is conveniently 5 months pregnant. Notice that it is five months. such a convinient number since Trig is 4 months. Any less and the liberals would have said she can still be the mother. Any more and her stomach would be showing, enough for the public to have noticed without being told.
Count me out of this.
I shall vote for McCain for President 2008.
I shall make sure I send in my mail ballot before I go on vacation in November.
McCain is definitely the best candidate over Obama.
Sarah Palin step down, please don’t hurt the party any more than you already had.

guess what! whether or not this girl raises her own child is not your decision to make. the decision belongs to bristol. for the record my mother got at 16 married my father at 17 two months before she gave birth. my mother decided to keep and raise my eldest brother; he is now studying international law at oxford in england. my parents also had 4 other children. any questions.

Yes. Why didn’t they send you do a decent school where they teach you that sentences begin with capital letters?
Its so interesting how all you liberals will jump on something so fast in order to help smear someone with different beliefs than you. It makes me sick and people are starting to see how vengeful and evil you all really are. You want everything to be how YOU want them and dont care for anyone elses views. You just label them ignorant when liberals are the ignorant ones! Obama is NOT perfect by any means..and just look at john edwards…oh but we cant report or talk about that right? You all are really effed up.
Hey Jared — where is the apology for publishing that story yesterday about Trig’s parentage? You based your piece solely on rumours from an ultra left blog that has since corrected its story. Now it’s your turn.
How horrible for this mother to accept the nomination knowing her family will be dragged through hell. Selfish. She should withdraw
