Helluva job vetting there, McCain. LOL
------------
Actually, this is not a good thing. It is a statement that some of those familly values that Sarah is advancing could not even be passed along to her own kid.
------------
Oh my. This is going to get quite interesting. I’d like to think that Palin can ride it out, but somehow I don’t think so. The Obama media is going to go hard. ----------
It is good that they aren’t hiding this but getting it out there and McCain knew about this but felt this shouldn’t disqualify her to be his running mate. Look, if the current President can have supposedly “wild” daughters when he was running and his VP can have a lesbian daughter, then having a VP with a pregnant teenager is not the end of the world.
-----------------
No, it's not nonsense. IF TRUE, it's going to be used endlessly to bash socons as hypocrites, as "proof" that only pushing condoms on teens can prevent teen sexual activity, and to bash the Palins in particular as trailer trash. Again, IF TRUE (it's not on the official website), this is very sad.
----------
Well, they could have made sure their daughter was on birth control.
-----------
I’d like to believe this won’t cost any votes, but I’m really not certain about that.
-----------
Let’s face it; the Palins’ are just child-abusers who don’t mind if their daughter is “punished with a baby” after making a mistake.
And what’s even worse, is the fact that McCain knew all about it, and picked Palin as his VP running mate anyhow. /s
-----------
Is this the same group who jumped all over Jamie Lynn Spears for getting knocked up?
They are doing the right thing, but Palin has now become a distraction to the campaign.
----------
Sadly, this revelation probably will hurt McCain/Palin among a certain segment of the GOP base. Poor Bristol is going to learn a hard lesson--that sinful acts do have real world consequences and that there are A LOT of truly evil people in this world more than willing to use a young girl's mistake to destroy her mother.
---------
She and her boyfriend are in love, they’re getting married and she’s having a baby. What’s the problem? The problem is the order - getting pregnant before marriage is NOT admirable behavior. And yes, my daughter did the same thing.
-----------
Tell me again how two teenagers with less than a high school education are going to support a baby without our tax dollars?
-------------
Well, they could have made sure their daughter was on birth control. That doesn't make any sense. Sara would then be a hypocrite.
-------------
I wonder if the smart and graceful thing to do is “decline” to accept the nomination. After all, her son is going to Iraq. She has a newborn baby. Her daughter is pregnant and unwed. This would allow a new Veep candidate to step to the plate, immediately.
------------ I am sensing a double standard on this thread and this is not who we are.
--------------
I hate to say that I agree with you. We need to not be so naive that we think this is a plus for Palin or McCain.
I am not going to post what I know where they will go with this, but if you think about it, it will not be pleasant.
I find it hard to believe McCain knew about this. If he did...well....good luck.
I am not casting any stones to Palin and her family. I have a son who is an unwed Dad too. Only thing is, not too many care what we do.
------------------
PLEASE don't let the left cause a negative reaction here. They want nothing more than for Sarah to step down. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
------------
You're not following my point. Socon/Christian = abstinence. This will be used by the left in spades to say that abstinence doesn't work and can't work, and that only the leftist solution, "comprehensive sex ed" (which is code for push BC on kids and tell them to do what they want), has any utility.
--------------
I have to say...I feel duped by this and the fact that of all days...today is when this get announced...that alone is very poor timing...this news should have been immediate....trying to throw it out there on a busy news day is very transpartent.
no one was more thrilled that I was...I have spend the last few days signing her praises, inclusing family values...
I am not a happy camper...I was not a huge McCain fan...Mitt was my guy but felt she the best choice...man this is going to hurt imho.
------------
Maybe he could have chosen Romney or Pawlenty or Bobby Jindal? -----------
I think the smart and graceful thing is to “decline to accept” the nomination. Allow a new (better vetted?) candidate to step up. After all, Sarah Palin has a lot on her plate: A son going to Iraq. A pregnant and unwed daughter. A newborn infant. She might be smart to not accept the nomination. QUickly.
--------------
I felt sad and let down reading the headline. The libs will have a field day with this, of course. But knowing she is choosing to have her baby is a good thing. Kids can just be so stupid.
--------------
Yep. That’s the problem is how it was handled. If they would have leaked the issue before he actually picked the VP, it would not have become a scandal.
It’s not a Palin problem, it’s a McCain problem. He didn’t handle the situation correctly.
----------------
I agree. I think Palin should step down.
