Shortly after John McCain
announced Sarah Palin
as his VP running mate the media and blogosphere rumor mills went into
full speed, printing everything from Sarah's baby, Trig, (born with
Down Syndrome) was not her's but her daughter's, to her husband's DUI
22 years ago.
Whether it was planned or as result of these and other vicious attacks
against the Alaskan Governor and her family, Sarah and Todd Palin issued
the following statement regarding the pregnancy of their 17-yr old daughter,
Bristol:
"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."
See interesting Human Events article: Sarah
Palin's Amazing Grace.
The media rumor mills then accused the Palins of pressuring Bristol's
boyfriend into marrying her, but the 18-yr. old's mother set the record
straight:
Levi's mother, Sherry Johnston, told
the AP that her son would join the Palin's at the GOP, and when
asked by reporters if the Palin's had put pressure on Levi to marry
Bristol, she replied, "Absolutely not." And called the reports
"absolutely bogus."
The
boyfriend's mother said that Levi, 18, and Bristol, 17, had planned
to wed before it was known that she was pregnant.
I hope you will join me in helping voters to know the facts during this
election, because the rumor mills, which are the product of bottom-feeders,
are in full gear, against both sides, which seek to deceive more than
just those with 'itching ears'.
