And Sarah has a downs syndrome baby. That usually happens when there's incest in the famliy's genes. Where there's health anomolies like that, it's a good indicator that somewhere along the line there was some inbredding going on.
The GOP has no credibility on the issue of fiscal responsibility. They want the American people to forget the eight years of the Bush Administration and the RECORD deficit under him. Interestingly enough, the GOP only became "concerned" about deficits on 1/20/09. ~Ban Coulter
Sex out of wedlock(against her Bible). Pregnancy/birth out of wedlock. Marriage comes last. Palin was pulled BACK into old worn out dogma. Check the video "palin praises obama" just before she was picked for VP.
She's 17 and she made a mistake. Family values were recently demonstrated when she was responsible and gave birth instead of participating in the abortion holocaust.
Social and religious conservatives often use the term "family values" to promote conservative ideology that supports traditional morality or values.
American Christians (which they profess to be) often see their religion as the source of morality. Fornication is not within family values. However, I would say she made a responsible decision by not aborting the fetus.
Actually, Palin is pretty consistent. She got knocked up and had a kid 8 months after she got hitched, and now her daughter is knocked up as well. Consistent FAIL.
What it comes down to is that it is VERY EASY to become pregnant and that abortion plays an important role in our society.
I agree that if men could become pregnant, things would be different... I would NOT be forced to develop a human being against my will if I could biologically become pregnant. It is unfair to force someone due to others' moral beliefs. Plus there's a HUGE problem with raising unwanted children.. it's a lose/lose situation. Education is the answer.. start there.
A teenager making a bad decision has nothing to do with her mothers values, morals, or her ability to be an administrator. You liberals want to keep calling conservatives hypocrites,
you all would know the meaning of the word.
Christians never said they were perfect, but we do follow a perfect Savior. We only try to be more like Him. Yes, we fail miserably everyday, but at least we try! Maybe you should.
Clearly she can't be an administrator and watch her kids. Her teen daughter got knocked up. This would be bad enough for a Democrat- but in the party of "traditional family values" you would think this would be fatal. But no. But if Biden's daughter was a pregnant teen, can you imagine the talking points coming from the GOP?
The fact of the matter is that Sarah Palin is the last frontier of legal enforcement in Alaska. The Governor is tasked with following both the letter of the law as well as the spirit of the law. Her daughter was sexually abused by Levi according to the law. No question. She is a right-wing religious nut that believes in not teaching kids about sex in school. Her views are outta da 15th century and look where it got her daughter - knocked up and shamed on national TV. What kinda mom is that?
I agree that character matters and I think that Palin made her pro line choice and fully supports her daughters pregnancy is admirable. It shows that that she will encourage her daughter to accept responsibility for her own actions. The entire family will assist the daughter in raising the child. In addition, many families have challenges they must face in life some of which are able to accept their children's imperfections in perfect love and forgivness. Mrs. Scholl
Now... Sarah Palin says that this issue should stay within the family and that this is a private issue, yet she wants to make it illegal for other families to decide on the matter and even make it illegal for other women to decide about their own pregnancies!
These people are insane! Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites who continually goes on to smear other people and their liberal views yet when someone they are close to does something that THEY think is immoral they think its ok.
Ok. So let me get this straight: Sarah Palin is saying that to teach sexual education in schools to teenagers is morally irrensponsible? I think maybe her doughter could use some of the information given in these classes, including SAFE SEX!
So, immagine if this was Obama`s daughter, or Biden? What would happen? An incredibly ammount of smearing from the Republican camp is what would happen. Their hypicrites, all of them!
Her 17 y.o.'s pregnancy should be a private family matter, like infidelity. But, Rep. are the party that puts themselves on a high ground of moral standards. Hammering the notion that charater matters, while their kids are getting hammered w/o condoms. Perhaps "Just say NO" abstinance ONLY policy doesn't work as well as "Just say KNOW" sex education. Her family needs her more than her country. The Religious Right is taking this opportunity to show GREAT hypocricy. Can U say, Shotgun wedding?
There is hypocrisy here but you'll need to look into a mirror to see it. The hypocrisy of people like yourself is beyond laughable. For decades we've been told by women that they want equal rights and equal opportunities. A great and sensible thing, I think!
Now that we're going through an historic moment of a woman vying for Vice President, you would think that everyone would be ecstatic. Apparently not if the woman happens to have an (R) after their name. Who's the redneck here?!
Do you know what equality means? Equality means having both parties judged solely on merit and not on anything else. NONE OF THIS DISCUSSION has to do with Palin as a woman. This discussion has everything to do with her policies, her ideas, and her qualifications to be VP.
If you want to swim in the deep end, you have to take off the rubber ducky inner-tube.
If anything, you're doing her a disservice by simply giving her a PASS on any and all stories that might come up against her.
And before you even say it... Obama has been through an 18-month roller coaster ride. He's been through 20+ debates, the last few were one on one with the toughest political family the Democrats could throw at him. 18 mil. voters did not give him a 'pass'. Harvard Law did not give him a 'pass'.
Obama and Biden have both declared that they are not planning on responding to palins pregnency. They realize how much its hurting their campaign because she relates to the average American and if they do comment on her daughters pregnancy it will only hurt them more because their is no way to cleanly address this.
I really wish people would think through this with an unbiased opinion. Does anybody see that Palin was preaching abstinence and her daughter being a teenage girl, she saw this as a clear way of defying her? Plus, there is nothing a parent can do to prevent their children from doing something of this nature. Teenagers will do as they please, and the parents trying to prevent something from happening will only provoke it. Plus get real.... Her daughter did not have a child with downs....
The significant part of this story is that McCain did very little research as to his running mate before chosing Palin. Even GOP leaders in Alaska have commented that no one was up there asking about Palin's background. His sole end was to toss a bone to the ReligiousReich types in his party.
The real question is: as president, would McCain be as impulsive and caprecious in other matters, especially where the lives of Americans are at stake?
Dear Sarah Palin, you and your 17 year old daughter will go to hell because she had premarital sex and you didn't do anything to prevent it. See you in hell!
Apparently, you're completely unaware of what it takes to go to Heaven. The two men that were crucified alongside Jesus were murderers. One repented on the cross and went to Heaven, the other didn't and went to Hell. You can be a complete bastard your entire life, but if you repent before you die - even if it's just one second - and truly mean it, then you will be accepted into Heaven. Those are the rules in the New Testament. Look it up for yourself.
Congratulations! You just delivered the proof that all christians that went to heaven are in fact evil people. Heaven - the last place good people want to go to - it's full of murderers.
You need to learn the difference between the words "some" and "all". Looks like some atheists aren't big on reading comprehension, so I guess we should throw ALL of them out of our schools.
It would not be my choice but heaven should be a place of harmony and peace. A murderer would not be dangerous, but what about his character? Not really the guy I want to meet in paradise.
You really should read what it takes to actually get into Heaven. Again, you can be a complete bastard (or bitch) your entire life, but ask for redemption and really mean it and you're in. Them's the rules.
to sum this up: heaven is a place full of bastards, bitches and murderers. hell is rendered useless. christianity doesn't prevent anyone from doing anything evil.
She told the public that she had a Down Syndrome infant to get votes and come off as this super mom. Well that is as private a family matter as it gets. The governor can't have her cake and eat it to. Report the good and noble characteristics of the family not the negative? That's hypocrisy and the media should not fall for it.
Sarah Palin is not a good example of moral values.
Leaving at home a 4 months old baby (with special needs) to devote to the political race, and having at the same time a teen daughter declaring with no shame that she is pregnant, this is not a reflection of good moral values.
We all are humans, but if Republicans want to portrait themselves as the great defenders of moral values, they selected the wrong VP.
They made the perfect choice because the GOP does not want McCain to win. You can see that in the way that they have handled his campaign. Anyway, his family life is just as bad.
Now, this is a NEWS! Sorry, but I can't stand hypocracy or people telling other people how they should behave morally. Sarah Palin is against birth control (ANY!!) and pro abstinance before marriage. She's against funding for sex ed in schools and all the rest. And now the truth arises and I'm so glad because this is such a lesson for everybody. Human beings are just what they are, we know it too well. Like, how to tell peope how they should run their families, and then doing just the opposite.
They didn't call ANY political figures in Alaska that weren't in the bucket for Bush/McCain...
Palin is NOT just 'dealing with her family' she's trying to deal with MINE, and my bedroom and my uterus. This is not JUST a teen story. So drop Bristol talk about her mothers politics around reproduction.
An abortion doesn't rip YOUR uterus out of your body, shred it and throw it out with other medical waste. An abortion does that to a fetus. Either it's a human life entitled to protection or it's a parasite that can be disposed of like a tapeworm. I wonder if you believe a mugger that attacks a pregnant women should be charged with murder if the fetus dies? If you believe a fetus is a parasite, then you can't support charging that mugger with murder since it's not a human life.
You cannot enslave me for nine months because you believe a blastocyst is a human being. I and most Americans agree that an adult woman has rights that an embryo does not.
I stand by my statement. If men got pregnant we would not be having this discussion.
Red herring question. Rapes (and incest) account for less than 1% of all abortions -- and those extremely rare pregnancies in cases of rape can be avoided by the "morning after pill" which prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. So even if abortions were illegal, there is still a way to terminate rape pregnancies before the "parasite" could feel pain. Let's talk about 99% of abortions that are done as a method of birth control.
If that's what you believe fine. It's You have your right to your opinion, you don't however have the right to enslave me for nine months to live out your world view. Women are not incubators.
Just be honest and admit that you believe a fetus is a parasite in a woman's body with no greater rights than a tapeworm. Though you're too much of a coward to admit it, that IS your position. Just type "a fetus is a parasite with no greater rights than a tapeworm" and you'll at least show you have to courage to admit your convictions.
Who's really a sick person? The one who believes that a fetus is a parasite in its mother's body with no greater rights than a tapeworm (that would be YOU)... or the person honest enough to point it out (me)? If you can't look at yourself in the mirror and admit that you believe a fetus has no more rights than a tapeworm, then perhaps YOU need to reconsider what abortion really is and what it really does.
John McCain nervously twirls his wedding ring and Bristol looks as though she is crying. I think the timing of this news release came as suddenly as the new father.
I feel bad for this girl but at her age I believe she knew what she was doing and the consequenses that can arise from it. As for her mother she has a right to her beliefs but she shouldn't try to force them on others or judge others who feel different than she does.
The worst enemy to United States values is the extreme right AND extreme left. To me, Palin represents what happens to alot of families. The kids rebel against the parents, but it doesn't mean the parent are hypocrites if the kid rebels. If you disagree with her views, that's fine. I wouldn't jump to conclusions that she will limit civil rights. Terrorism and energy are the biggest worries now.
junkie4vids: When one issue isn't working in your candidate's favor then switch subject, nice tactice just like good old reps..but you can simply shift the focus of this issue, that is that Palin can't even get her daughter to listen to her, how can you expect the rest of country will? I saw a lot of rebellion teenagers, but not many of them ended up with a baby~~don't use that excuse, she is simply not ready to lead this country let alone her family~~~
majestic...I'm not a repub btw. If you include family issues, almost every politician is tied to something. Kids rebel against even the most well-meaning parents. Palin herself did not act in a way that was contrary to her viewpoints. Therefore, she is not a hypocrite. Rebellion in teenagers takes many forms and depends on what they are expiosed too, so your statement is not too substantive. Objectivity is best for politics. If you oppose the viewpoint, fine.
Pregnant at age 17? I believe that what Palin wants for her daughter, and a really positive role model for girls in this country, what happen to family value??? I don't want my daughter to feel it's ok for a girl to have a baby at age 17. You can make excuse after excuse for Palin's daughter, but the buttom line is she is not someone who can run this country efficiently and effectively.
What will make this interesting is that Palin will lead by example, being a mother. Her daughter is marrying the guy, raising the child, and will be accountable for her actions. That will be a positive. Regarding sex ed and birth control, McCain is amenable to this - as long as it is not over the top. For example, the left wing extremists advocate sex ed in kindergarten and teach kids to put condoms over cucumbers. McCain will provide a balance to the extremist nonsense on both sides.
From Fox news website: "Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella confirmed Monday that Todd Palin was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in 1986 when he was 22."
DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!!!! This bitch feels she has the right to tell gays how to live yet her WHORE of a daughter can lay around with whomever she wants to?!!! Republicans are double standard hypocrites!!!!!
True... the only parents who end up with unmarried pregnant high school daughters aren't paying attention to their families, not to mention exhibiting poor guidance skills. Just what we need in the WH.
This is just awesome. Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites! totally agree: Family values my ASS!! Her UNMARRIED 17 year old ROMAN CATHOLIC got pregnant! hahaha. and John McCain knew about this? Yeah right! What else is he supposed to say? This is just too funny.
alibab...I don't know if you realize it, but Obama has called for no criticism of the Palin situation. Know why? Obama was born to an 18 year old unwed mother. Just as in Obama's case, things happen to anybody - now matter who they are. Look at Al Gore's drug-addict son who was arrested for reckless high-speed driving in California. Things like that happen...
I know things like this happen to everyone. What's so funny about this story is that Palin is right wing, roman catholic conservative republican who pushes abstinance only programs. Obama is not going around lecturing people how to live their lives. I bet if this happened to a democrat, the republicans would jump on the issues screaming, like they always do, about how they have good family values. Please! republicans are a bunch of hypocrites!
junkie4vids: As far as I know, Obama's parents were married to each other when he was born. They divorced when he was 2 years old. So he was not born to an unwed mother of 18 as you mention in your message.
Its not about Bristol's pregnancy it's about her mothers' politics. She wants 'privacy and choice' for her family but not for ours.
And do you think for on hot minute that the republicans wouldn't go after Obama's girls if the tables were turned? You can't answer that no with a straight face.
The issue is reproductive health and freedom of choice, sex education, access to abortion and birth control.
Drop Bristol but her mom's politics are fair game.

Who's really a sick person? The one who believes that a fetus is a parasite in its mother's body with no greater rights than a tapeworm (that would be YOU)... or the person honest enough to point it out (me)? If you can't look at yourself in the mirror and admit that you believe a fetus has no more rights than a tapeworm, then perhaps YOU need to reconsider what abortion really is and what it really does.

John McCain nervously twirls his wedding ring and Bristol looks as though she is crying. I think the timing of this news release came as suddenly as the new father.

I'm glad that Palin is a member of the NRA. She is going to host a shotgun wedding! LMAO

I feel bad for this girl but at her age I believe she knew what she was doing and the consequenses that can arise from it. As for her mother she has a right to her beliefs but she shouldn't try to force them on others or judge others who feel different than she does.

"But is she ready to lead...her family?"

The worst enemy to United States values is the extreme right AND extreme left. To me, Palin represents what happens to alot of families. The kids rebel against the parents, but it doesn't mean the parent are hypocrites if the kid rebels. If you disagree with her views, that's fine. I wouldn't jump to conclusions that she will limit civil rights. Terrorism and energy are the biggest worries now.

junkie4vids: When one issue isn't working in your candidate's favor then switch subject, nice tactice just like good old reps..but you can simply shift the focus of this issue, that is that Palin can't even get her daughter to listen to her, how can you expect the rest of country will? I saw a lot of rebellion teenagers, but not many of them ended up with a baby~~don't use that excuse, she is simply not ready to lead this country let alone her family~~~

majestic...I'm not a repub btw. If you include family issues, almost every politician is tied to something. Kids rebel against even the most well-meaning parents. Palin herself did not act in a way that was contrary to her viewpoints. Therefore, she is not a hypocrite. Rebellion in teenagers takes many forms and depends on what they are expiosed too, so your statement is not too substantive. Objectivity is best for politics. If you oppose the viewpoint, fine.

Pregnant at age 17? I believe that what Palin wants for her daughter, and a really positive role model for girls in this country, what happen to family value??? I don't want my daughter to feel it's ok for a girl to have a baby at age 17. You can make excuse after excuse for Palin's daughter, but the buttom line is she is not someone who can run this country efficiently and effectively.

What will make this interesting is that Palin will lead by example, being a mother. Her daughter is marrying the guy, raising the child, and will be accountable for her actions. That will be a positive. Regarding sex ed and birth control, McCain is amenable to this - as long as it is not over the top. For example, the left wing extremists advocate sex ed in kindergarten and teach kids to put condoms over cucumbers. McCain will provide a balance to the extremist nonsense on both sides.

From Fox news website: "Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella confirmed Monday that Todd Palin was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in 1986 when he was 22."
ROFL!!

True... the only parents who end up with unmarried pregnant high school daughters aren't paying attention to their families, not to mention exhibiting poor guidance skills. Just what we need in the WH.

Let's focus on how short sighted McCain's VP selection took place instead of criticism of gov Palin and her family. He truly has lost his mind.

This is just awesome. Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites! totally agree: Family values my ASS!! Her UNMARRIED 17 year old ROMAN CATHOLIC got pregnant! hahaha. and John McCain knew about this? Yeah right! What else is he supposed to say? This is just too funny.
alibaba293 3 years ago 4
alibab...I don't know if you realize it, but Obama has called for no criticism of the Palin situation. Know why? Obama was born to an 18 year old unwed mother. Just as in Obama's case, things happen to anybody - now matter who they are. Look at Al Gore's drug-addict son who was arrested for reckless high-speed driving in California. Things like that happen...
junkie4vids 3 years ago
I know things like this happen to everyone. What's so funny about this story is that Palin is right wing, roman catholic conservative republican who pushes abstinance only programs. Obama is not going around lecturing people how to live their lives. I bet if this happened to a democrat, the republicans would jump on the issues screaming, like they always do, about how they have good family values. Please! republicans are a bunch of hypocrites!

She's not roman catholic - she's pentacostal and dominionist...

You are correct. Thanks for the correction. That makes this story even better.

"Christian Taliban" is like saying "Liberal Nazis". Oh, bad example.

Well - except that there is some basis in what I am saying. Do you know the term 'dominionist'? If not look it up, before we continue.

junkie4vids: As far as I know, Obama's parents were married to each other when he was born. They divorced when he was 2 years old. So he was not born to an unwed mother of 18 as you mention in your message.
alibaba293 3 years ago 3
So WHAT.
Its not about Bristol's pregnancy it's about her mothers' politics. She wants 'privacy and choice' for her family but not for ours.
And do you think for on hot minute that the republicans wouldn't go after Obama's girls if the tables were turned? You can't answer that no with a straight face.
The issue is reproductive health and freedom of choice, sex education, access to abortion and birth control.
Drop Bristol but her mom's politics are fair game.
