A previous poster spoke of Sarah's fortitude for taking a 12-hour plane trip while she was in labor ... as if it was a GOOD thing. She supposedly KNEW she was about to give birth to a special needs child.
To me, it smacks of irresponsibility. If we are to believe Trig is her child, we are then also to believe she's a reckless and selfish woman.
I'm not attacking her daughter. I'm just sick of the lies. If she and her husband chose to take her child's child and raise it on their own, good for them! Regular people do it every day!
But she's anti-choice and is about to be put into a position where her views can be forced on the American people. We need to know the truth.
I have raised two responsible adult children, neither of whom brought home children for me to raise as they were teenagers. Neither of them were forced into farce marriages as a result of negligent sexual practices.
Come on America ... I'm tired of being lied to! I'm not attacking her or her family ... I'm just sick and tired of the lies. And hers are coming out from the git-go. Own up to who and what you and your family are, and let's get on with the business at hand.
Sarah could stop these attacks ... today ... if she only took the responsibility for her own and her family's actions.
Sorry Obama ... it's not about her family. It's about the lies.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 481715This is the best post on this thread. I live in Alaska and have been following this story for months.
Something is VERY not right with a woman who is willing to take the chance of delivering a high-risk child at 36,000 feet ! Especially a public figure like a governor. (This is your captain speaking. Please don't be alarmed by the grunting sounds coming from first class, it is just Sarah Palin birthing her child . . .)
She showed no apparent consideration for anyone, especially the flight crew who probably prefer not having to possibly deliver a preemie, special needs child WHO LIKELY WILL NEED IMMEDIATE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE . . .
Any leakage of amniotic fluid at that stage of pregnancy is a sign to GET CHECKED OUT immediately by a health professional. There is only one good reason I can think of why she didn't see ANYONE in Dallas. . . or in Anchorage . . . you figure it out for yourself . . . And didn't her doctor tell her (over the phone) that if you are leaking amniotic fluid you are NOT ALLOWED to fly because the sudden change in air pressure can cause the membranes to rupture . . .
The daughter does NOT look pregnant to me. A teenager would be carrying much higher in the abdomen. She looks like someone who delivered a baby and then let herself go (entirely understandable in this situation). Poor kid, wearing a frumpy black old ladies' frock at what is supposed to be a gala occasion, holding a baby who came with more baggage than anyone knows.
Alaska attracts families like the Palins and the Heaths (both have been here for quite a while, two generations at least). They like the extremes of climate, the intense physicality, the opportunity to be secretly eccentric and get away with it. I know, I married into a family just like those. Their motto :
WHAT YOU SEE AND WHAT YOU KNOW ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
Believe it, because it is true.
