Has anyone heard from the young man?

[FarCenter]

Everything has been about how the loving family is supporting Bristol, how she decided to keep the baby, and isn't it wonderful that she and the father are getting married.

But it took two to tango.

How about the boy? How does he feel about this? Is marriage his wish or is he being forced into a shotgun wedding? How about his family?

He may not have been the Don Juan. Possibly he was seduced by the strumpet Palin.

1. His name is "Levi" apparently, I was immediately put in mind of

underwear thing in the movie "Back to the Future." Calvin Klien wasn't it?

2. I'm guessing he was bragging to some friends about his encounter(s) with the gov's daughter ...

... or at least i'd be shocked if he hadn't. hopefully they can find him now.

4. Pretty gutsy to be banging the Governor's daughter, or for that

matter the daughter of any lifetime NRA member.

7. good point, that. teh second one, especially.

3. I am sure he is sooo in hiding i would be

and I am sure he has been hearing it big time from his parents.

5. He must still be in school

Otherwise he'd have enlisted by now.

6. none of your (or my) business

the extent to which this pregnancy is a valid political issue ENDs at Sarah Palin's stance on reproductive issues.

A pregnant 17 year old already has more than enough to deal with - she doesn't need nosey nabobs pontificating to/about her, her baby, or its father.

8. What if he was offered the choice of getting married or being charged with statutory rape?

The forthcoming marriage is being presented as Bristol's choice.

Was it also Levy's choice? Or is he being forced into it by the Governor?

9. and what if aliens shot out of my ass?

right now there's no evidence for either
However, I fully agree that, should either situation arise, it should be dealt with.

10. I think we need to deal with the sexist assumption that the young lady is the victim

who is being so graciously supported by her wonderful family.

I have heard mothers of teen boys express their fears that whatever happens, its always the boy's fault.

11. yeah right... that's what you think. /nt

13. Age of consent = 16.

So if he was offered that choice, the proper response would have been to laugh at the joke.

22, I heard. Hard to force a 22-year-old to marry, even for a governor. Easy to get a judge to order child support.

18. Great Post!

We need more posts like this. Obsfuscation of the issues. The Palin family matters have
nothing to do with the issues.

So Very Very Sorry if my opinion of this Offends !!@!

12. Levi's sister's MySpace page

was posted earlier (in a thread now locked because it became a thread about MySpace). On the page was a picture of Levi's sister holding Trig and captioned "My new baby brother" and a picture of the sister with Sarah titled "me and mommy in law".

That MySpace page is now no longer available.

14. Levi's sister said what?

Why would she say her brother's child was her brother?

[endthewar]

15. Yeah, I'm calling BS on this

[Speck Tater]

16. Read the original post and responses here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3898635

The MySpace page has been locked down, but everyone who say the page before it vanished can vouch for what it said. Some posters even mention the "my brother Trig" caption.

17. I know now. Even the McCain campaign has released that his name is Levi.

Sorry about the mix-up earlier. :patriot:
