Sarah Palin in a previous pregnancy...

thumbwitch · 31/08/2008 22:59

Sarah Palin is one mad scary b**ch - I hadn't realised how bad until I saw Littlelapin's post, what I read in yesterday's paper was bad enough. Opposing gun control? nuts.

Does she still wear the white hood and cloak as well?

It's going to be a tough election this one; I like Obama but I can't see him winning it sadly, and the alternative is actually more scary than Bush!!
(feels a tad like the home situation, choice between Brown and Cameron, ooh, tricky, they're both shite.)

No BlueWolf have you a link?

bluewolf · 31/08/2008 22:51

why doesn't hilary speak up and say 'if you're going for the female vote - she's not it!'
also did you see the kid's book that Mc Cains daughter has just brought out called ' my lovely dad' or something?

MatNanPlus · 31/08/2008 22:42

I saw photos of mum in either pregnancy 3 or 4 she was BIG

EachPeachPearMum · 31/08/2008 22:31

They should have put a different spin on it...

Anyone heard of the virgin birth???

EachPeachPearMum · 31/08/2008 22:28

OMG- that is so suspect!

Erm- she flew from TX to Alaska WHILE HER AMNIOTIC FLUID WAS LEAKING.... AND NO-ONE NOTICED??????

My amniotic fluid leaked for 24 hours- it was EVERYWHERE- we were mopping it up with buckets!

right.

And her 17 yo DD was off school for 8 months with ME, and the baby came 1 mo early....

The republicans really do think they can tell us anything and we will believe it!

I watched the hike-to-work video - that was 2 months before the baby was born - she certainly doesn't look like a 44-year-old who is 7 months pg in that.

The circumstances of the eldest daughter missing school for so many months at just the right time are very suspicious - OK, glandular fever can knock you back for quite a long time, but for a 16-17 year old to be off school for up to 8 months???

And the circumstances of her flying back to Alaska after her waters broke in Texas (allegedly) are mad.

OTOH she is obviously very physically fit, and some women hardly show at all.

Jury still out here

It is suss, a 5th time pregnant mum showing no signs of a bump, returning to work so quickly even tho her new son has needs she hasn't dealt with before, poor feeding being a possible.

Why not tell the truth, she is against abortion but for contraception so why come out and say well i am soon to be a proud grandmother.

The age of consent is 16 and in Aug Bristol is listed as 17 so not illegal and she spent many months away from school.

tiggerlovestobounce · 31/08/2008 20:38

Those picturs in the Daily Kos article appear convincing (if they are unaltered).
The details of the day the baby was born make her look fairly irresponsible too (if it was her baby).
If that isnt her baby it is not going to be good for the republican campaign.

policywonk · 31/08/2008 20:37

Tis odd isn't it. With those names, you'd expect a hippy. Instead, she's the scariest fucking person alive.

toocool · 31/08/2008 20:30

The 16 year old does look like she has a baby bump in those pics.

And 3 days post birth back in work? I don't think so.

Hulababy · 31/08/2008 20:20

I like the name Willow. Don't like the rest.

Shoshe · 31/08/2008 20:17

There are reports that Trig is in fact her Grandson!

MatNanPlus · 31/08/2008 20:09

Trig meaning strength given he has downs is fitting i guess.

BIG age gaps tho!

DarrellRivers · 31/08/2008 14:55

Yes , I read that yesterday WW, the anger thing worries me.
but his spell as a POW really gives him appeal to the American on the street

John McCain has some scary tendencies himself

DarrellRivers · 31/08/2008 13:56

KM i care
we need a democratic president in the White House to balance those preceding Bush years.
I worry that the ordinary American will not vote for Obama

she is well scary. only been abroad twice!?

LaVieEnRose · 31/08/2008 13:06

OMFG, where do these people come from? Do the republicans breed in captivity just so they have the right balance of bigotry and intolerance with an added dash of looney tunes?!

This is why I love following the US elections. They are like car crash tv, I try to look away but can't! Unbelievable!

solo · 31/08/2008 12:54

My Dd is Willow. It's a lovely name! I wouldn't have gone for Trig though

DarrellRivers · 31/08/2008 12:53

in fact she could start some fabulous posts here on mumsnet
