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.

I have nothing against Palin however, I think she has made some very unfortunate decisions - fAmericans we need a VP that will not compromise our future.
I have a child with a disability, I have two other kids in addition, the youngest being 2 years, I am a career woman and is fortunate to have the financial resources to have babysitters, BUT I have now made the decision to resign from my job to be there for my child.
To choose a career as demanding as VP of the most powerful nation on earth is not something you can just do without sacrificing your family.
I am sorry, something has to give… and personally I would choose my family but hey that is just me.
Nice family values Palin!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaha!
TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sheryl,
I lived in or near Chicago for decades and followed this news.Your Obama/Cricago references are erroneous
Down syndrome baby. 17 year old who is 5 months preggers. Palin has her hands full. Jus twhat I need in my heartbeats away from being president candidate! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trash Trash - like worst then the Spears trash!!!!!!
Nice values message Palin! Th hypocrisy here is THICK!!!!!
I am glad to see the response from Obama about the families of the candidates…they should be off limits.
I respect him for issuing this statement, and hope that the media will only take a day or two to chew on it, unless of course you have CNN streaming all day with the liberal propaganda filtering into our society all day long.
There are bigger issues to deal with, besides a baby being born to young parents. They aren’t the first, and won’t be the last. Teenagers have been getting preggers for centuries, despite whatever political party their parents are affiliated with.
I say we thank Obama for his voice of reason, and concentrate on the issues.
OMG - Was Diddy high when he went on his “no black people in Alaska” rant? Embarassing. Maybe he should come and visit my hometown of Detroit. Plenty of black people there, just check out the mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick. Again, embarassing.
Speaking of embarassing, can you spell Elliott Spitzer, the former Governor of NY and a life long Democrat ? ? Sorry, couldn’t resist!
Workin Patriot you are simply wrong. Chicago is notoriously known for their dirty politics.
Ask Tony Rezko and William Ayers.
Ask Obama why he is trying to shut out any inquiry to the Anneberg Project that he and Ayers chaired.
Ask them why isn’t fair to ask how a 100 million dollars was spent and why they think the public doesn’t have a right to fair and open inquiry to this matter.
This doesn’t debunk anything. If they faked Mama Palin’s pregnancy they can fudge the truth about anything. Just because they say Trig was born in April doesn’t mean he was. If he’s Bristol’s he could have been born a couple of months earlier and it wouldn’t be so unrealistic to believe Bristol got knocked up again right away. I have 2 cousins who are 10 months apart, so this proves nothing.
All I know is that they sure are a fertile bunch. Must be all those Moose burgers.
Don’t blame this on Obama fanatics either because you know if the same thing happened on Obama’s side McCain would be ALL over it. The dirt is on both sides–don’t even try to act like one is nobler than the other.

“I say we thank Obama for his voice of reason, and concentrate on the issues.”
It’s a good start but he needs to renounce The Daily Kos’ endorsement for his candidacy. Smear machines like The Daily Kos shouldn’t have been so elavated by the Democrat party and over the years the Democrat party has become so entrenched with this site.
The site doesn’t practice respectable journalism and no one running for president should accept their endorsement.
…There is proof that McCain can wreck this country.
Because,for over 30 years he didn’t lift a finger to clean up the dirty politics in Washington!
He actually did the opposite, he dove right in to move up the political ladder and U. S. citizens are the poorer for it.
….That is a much better fit.
Yea, this is the woman running my country…….NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you’re talkin”!
“If this happened on Obama’s side…”
Well, Obama’s mother was preggers for him in college and married the father.
This is not a political issue, it is a personal one.
You know the good thing is that we are at least having dialogue about the candidates and although we all don’t agree, we care enough about our country to debate.
Team Lara Croft - Put that Red Bull down, girl….whewwwweee, all worked up over a baby!
Mccain said he knew this before he chose her as his running mate.
what does this say about Mccain’s judgement? The lady is joke, she has all kinds of skeleton, 20 months in office, she wanted her ex brother in law fired, fighting leaders of her party in Alaska, she was raising her daughter’s child, now her daughter is pregnant. Like Michael moore said, God really exist. God is trying to save America from another 4 years of bondage with MCbush.
What else will come out about Sarah palin, her husband is actually her brother?
I hate it when you attack all of one group for something some people on the outskirts states. As a liberal progressive I am disgusted with being linked in with nut jobs. We are not desperate the fact you think we are shows how scared you are of the outcome. I have a question to ask you if she chooses to have the child and she were a poor women from a minority group and you had to put up the money would you? think about that I know of women who while going through there period had that area bulge and had the same rumor surrond them boy did they have a hard time of it. I think one took her own life. Words and deeds do have consequences(sp)
First of all, you all should just shut up. None you know the circumstance these people are going through. I’m not a supporter of either candidate in this election so I’m not taking one side or another. I do know however, that I was raised by a family with very strong family morals and it would have been just as easy for me to get pregnant at 17 as it was for this young girl. Unless you know this family personally you can’t judge them. The only thing you know about them is what is in the tabloids and if you read them and believe everything that you hear then you are in fact the fool. I’m sure this is hard enough for this young girl without the attention she is getting from the entire world.
why are all 17 year old girls getting pregnant??
This pregnancy will actually work to humanize the Republican Party…just watch.
It may be just what they needed to be seen as humans, and not a bunch of money counting robots.
With Gov. Jindal’s performance today in Lousianna, and Gov. Palin’s announcement that she’s going to be a grandmother, and Diddy looking for Alaskan black folk, it’s a good day to be a Republican!
Dont judge this family. Some ppl are downright nasty and God will take care of that.
Can we cease with Palin’s son not being her’s but her daughters? I’m in no size shape or form a McCain/Palin supporter but that doesn’t mean I don’t think this nonsense is ugly, mean spirited and just nasty. You have nothing but an ill conceived internet rumor that’s blown into a worldwide piece of trash worthy of NE or the Star and I can’t believe you’re trying so hard to validate something that hasn’t a leg to stand on. So what if the kid is going to have a baby now? She’s not running for anything so why is she even up for discussion? If you’re an Obama supporter you’ve got no reason continuing to call yourself one if your on here trying to rip Bristol or her any of her family a new one because Bristol did something human, and Obama even states that he’s the child of a teen mom and this family is off limits.
Some of you seriously need to grow the hell up asap. Oh, and this is for the McCain/Palin folk……everyone not for McCain/Palin is a Liberal or a Democrate so cease lumping all in the same box just because they don’t agree with you on certain issues………….Lib’s & Dem’s, same advice for you too.

So far, this appears to be the genesis of the lie about the 5-month pregnancy of Bristol Palin.
Reuters today, 9/1/08, says:
“Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. 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.”
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2944356420080901
So, according to Reuters, the 5-month pregnancy lie originates in what “the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate.”
So, if you’re not a liar like GC, the first thing you do is check out what “the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate.”
Statement from Sarah and Todd Palin
ARLINGTON, VA — Today, Sarah and Todd Palin issued the following statement regarding today’s Reuters story:
“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.”
http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/ab547fc8-d96d-4f87-aa8a-2e52be2b66fc.htm
The “statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate” talks about “five wonderful children” of the Todd and Sarah Palin, but says nothing about 5-month pregnancy of Bristol.
So, Reuters is lying when it reports “”Bristol Palin … is about five months pregnant … the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate.”
Note how Todd and Sarah and the McCain campaign explicitly pimp “today’s Reuters story” without acknowledging or vouching for ” today’s Reuters story” lies about the 5-month pregnancy, left unmentioned by either Bristol or her parents or the McCain campaign, but simply made up out of the blue by “today’s Reuters story.”
Gop whores will jump at the invitation to be misdirected by the mysteriously alleged “5-month pregnancy,” but the real story is already out there.
Go Go HILLbillies! Not only are you getting two ex beauty queens, but mccrazy’s wife cindy stole from her own org. to supply herself with drugs, now we get a crazy right winger , whose daughter possibly gave birth to the downs child and help cover it up! by claiming it belongs to her, God help America if these crazies make it to the white house, they’ll be yodeling through out the white house, making more wars , lord help us all Mcsame on that button pretty scary to me, god fobid he croaks even scarier to have this crazy woman as a president.
Workin Patriot says:
“Because,for over 30 years he didn’t lift a finger to clean up the dirty politics in Washington!”
You should get educated instead of just using other people’s words. John McCain has a perfect record of 0% funding on pork barrel spending, which is one of the biggest problems in Washington.
Obama on the otherhand has asked for millions in pork barrel spending, It hink he is in the top five of senators for the most asked.
How can Obama be blamed for something he had absolutely nothing to do with (no shred of evidence so far!)? Sites that support him have no right to their own opinions? The last time I checked, this is “supposedly” a FREE country and those sites can do their own thing without Obama being lumped in.
Should McCain take time out of his daily routine to come and denounce his supporters who are blaming Obama without concrete evidence that he is responsible for all the rumors concerning Palin?
People of this country never seize to amaze me when it comes to politics. Instead of having legitimate discussions on differing opinions, insults are hurled and one side seems to be masterful at not accepting their mistakes and blaming others for their own shortcomings. Nothing adds up, especially people’s logic!
Leave this family alone. ENOUGH. Those living in glass houses should NOT be throwing stones. We’ve all made mistakes and survived. This really is NOT a big deal. Things happen in our lives and we DEAL with it. This situation won’t affect Sarah’s position as VIP. What happens if one of Barack’s daughters goes through the same thing down the road??????
