Enquirer: Track Palin Used Drugs

Brainster · 10th September 2008, 11:07 AM

Just thought I'd throw this one out there. It appears that the Enquirer is pushing a different story than Sarah's supposed affair this weekend (although they do hint at shocking new details in the newsstand copy).

Quote:

The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that Sarah's oldest son, Track, was addicted to the power drug OxyContin for nearly the past two years, snorting it, eating it, smoking it and even injecting it. And as Track, 19, heads to Iraq as part of the U.S. armed forces, Sarah and her husband Todd were powerless to stop his wild antics, detailed in the new issue of The ENQUIRER, which goes on sale today.

THE ENQUIRER also has exclusive details about Track's use of other drugs, including cocaine, and his involvement in a notorious local vandalism incident.

Oh, my. A teenager used drugs and was involved in vandalism? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Well, I did the same things when I was a young lad. However, I had no guidance from my parents or older siblings. I personally don't hold any resentment towards my parents for not being there for me and engaging or challenging me more, but I certainly would not be voting for either one for the highest office in the land, or even VP for that matter. The fact is that children's actions and behavior reflect parental upbringing.

Palins son is her oldest and some room for rookie parenting is given, but we also see her daughter became pregnant. And to a guy that in no way would have made it past my front door twice. Palin wasn't there to protect either one of her children from misadventure.

I had some problems with my oldest years ago. However, you can be assured that my wife and I learned and had beaten the other 4 to the punch many times before they were able to find trouble lurking for them. Parenting is a full time job, and one that the Palin's may have taken too lightly. That happens to many a good family though. But in the case of the Palins, Sarah seemed to be more interested in her own political career rather than that of her children's need for guidance.

Now, some might ask why its up to the mother to do that job. It isn't necessarily. In a two parent household that gets negotiated. I have been a stay at home dad for the past 18 years while my wife worked outside the home. Since Mr. Palin was the bread winner, Mrs Palin should have sacrificed her ambitions for the better of the family...She didn't do that....and that makes her selfish, incompetent and immature...

Sounds more like a ...ing fence next to a railway than it does a human being.

If it's true, I think it is relevant. It shows a good deal of hypocrisy. Kids like her son are in jail right now for doing the same drugs he (supposedly) used and which she feels should remain illegal.

Which is more relevant: drug use by a VP candidate's kid, or drug use by a Presidential candidate?

A Presidential candidate. That does mean the first isn't relevant.

Seeing how this is a thread about drug use by VP candidate's kid, what's your point? If you want to talk about Obama's drug use or Palin's marijuana use or whatever, go start that thread.

Alferd_Packer · 10th September 2008, 12:00 PM

If the story is true, and Track is an oxy addict, then he has a hard road ahead of him.

They are both relevant. However, theres a big difference between a so called drug which should not be outlawed (cannabis) and others that are clearly chemicals. I'll take a pot smoking president over one high on religion or nationalism anytime.

No, you're right. I just found your implication that perhaps Track should be jailed to be a bit over the top. I've not seen anyone suggest Obama ought to be in jail for his admitted cocaine use.

Obama admitted to cocaine use as well as marijuana use.

If that's the incident, then Track was the 16-year-old who stole the bottle of vodka for them and racked up the other charges. It gets cold when you're vandalizing buses!

He seems to have straightened out. Water under the bridge.

Brainster · 10th September 2008, 12:39 PM

Howie Kurtz said the rumors were bogus a few days ago:

Quote:

Campaign officials were deluged with questions from reputable news outlets about the governor's amniotic fluid, the timing of her contractions and whether she would take a DNA test to establish the baby's parentage, not to mention bogus charges about her son being a drug abuser. There's an important distinction here -- mainstream outlets have not given such rumors any credence -- but that is lost on frustrated McCain aides who have to ask Palin about each new line of inquiry.

Not sure what information Howie has on that topic.

Too bad we cannot be more lenient as a culture and have the faith in the parents making this right with their sons. Sounds like these boys wll have criminal records for the rest of their lives.

I made similar mistakes why back when I was young and thankfully I was not treated in such an official manner. That fact has let me reconcile my life without a stain which could have interfered in so many ways.

Nope. The three underage kids will have or have had their records automatically expunged when they turn 18.

Well he's a way better addict than Rush Limbaugh...Rush was just eating them like candy?
Couldn't Rush stick a needle in his fat arm?

You were trying to excuse Obama's past drug use by claiming that cannabis ought to be legalized. I was simply pointing out that cannabis wasn't the only drug he used.

The question on all our lips is will they back Track, or will they backtrack?

I got that...I was merely adding to the dialog.

BenBurch · 10th September 2008, 01:05 PM

Huge difference between smoking some weed and doing the occasional line of coke, but never becoming addicted, and being addicted, so addicted, to Oxy that you smoke the crap. Simply immense difference. But I fail to see how that is any more relevant to the election than this story is.

Leave Track Palin Alone.

Leave Bristol Palin Alone.

Leave Trig Palin Alone.

Sarah, Pailin? Her I think NOBODY should leave alone. Especially if there are any valuables around.

He had a cyst on his... um... posterior. That is what he says kept him from the draft. Seriously.

EDIT: Oh. Duh. You meant after his narcotics binge.

Weed is basically legal in Alaska...as it should be.

Sure, you can grow your own...and the Gubmint wont seek you out...

It's the way it should be. But Palin's policy? We have no clue...No interviews allowed!

Palin has smoked marijuana. I suspect that whoever wins the US's drug policies are unlikely to get even more insane.

Federal law means that it is illegal even if local enforcement is patchy.

What I actually was implying was that no one should be jailed for drug possession. But, yes, it works that way too. Cocaine possession is a crime and, if Palin believes it should remain a crime (and if these claims prove true which seems unlikely apparently), then she's should see that charges are brought on her son.

And yes, Obama should be held to a similar standard for his drug use or do something to change the direction of the War on Drugs.

Should be legal everywhere.

Then the cost of the whole criminal justice system drops by 15%. Which is millions and millions.

If the topic is anyone's kids, or anyone's sex life, or anything having to do with makeup, you're right.

Simply immense difference. But I fail to see how that is any more relevant to the election than this story is. Leave Track Palin Alone. Leave Bristol Palin Alone. Leave Trig Palin Alone. Sarah, Pailin? Her I think NOBODY should leave alone. Especially if there are any valuables around.

Sure, you can grow your own...and the Gubmint wont seek you out... It's the way it should be. But Palin's policy? We have no clue...No interviews allowed!

Palin has smoked marijuana. I suspect that whoever wins the US's drug policies are unlikely to get even more insane.

I just found your implication that perhaps Track should be jailed to be a bit over the top. I've not seen anyone suggest Obama ought to be in jail for his admitted cocaine use. What I actually was implying was that no one should be jailed for drug possession. But, yes, it works that way too. Cocaine possession is a crime and, if Palin believes it should remain a crime (and if these claims prove true which seems unlikely apparently), then she's should see that charges are brought on her son. And yes, Obama should be held to a similar standard for his drug use or do something to change the direction of the War on Drugs.
