It's time to cut Sarah Palin loose
before more lives are destroyed. Nobody can convince me that her daughter's boyfriend isn't being pressured into getting married. They both made a mistake, but do they have to pay for it for the rest of their lives so that John McCain can have his gimmick VP? I can almost hear the backroom discussions by the Republican hierarchy as to how they can get out of this deplorable situation and save face.

2. Boyfriend does not have to get married if he doesn't want to.
Shotgun weddings are a thing of the past. He didn't have to join them in Minnesota either. Perhaps he's beginning to see advantages to being married to the daughter of a possible VP of the US.

3. Do you honestly believe that a boy that age
does not feel the pressure of most of the country to marry the girl that he got pregnant? They are too young to carry the responsibility of an ambitious mother.

Would you quit your job to show loyalty?

7. Wouldn't you think that evangelicals would object to a mother
not looking after her Downes Syndrome child on a full time basis when she could well afford not to hold down a job? During the election campaign, and if, god forbid, McCain wins, how much time do you think she intends to give to her family, especially an infant child with special needs.

10. With evangelicals, that rule only applies to Democratic mothers.

9. Can we keep her for a few more weeks?
I haven't had this much fun since crazy Katy Harris disappeared off the public stage.
