Levi Johnston to join Palin family at convention (Baby father)

[RamboLiberal]

WASILLA, Alaska - Bristol Palin's boyfriend plans to join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the convention in Minnesota.

Levi Johnston's mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska on Tuesday morning to join the Palin family in St. Paul.

Sherry Johnston also said there has been no pressure put on her son to marry Bristol Palin, the pregnant daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

"Absolutely not," Sherry Johnston told reporters outside the family's Wasilla home. Johnston said the two teens already had plans to marry before they knew she was pregnant.

1. A real role model

[TwilightGardener]

2. Rut roh, that's not what the Enquirer sez...

the GOP is paying this family off! :rofl:

[liberalmuse]

The McCain campain chest...

just went from 47 million down to 2 million.

[Wednesdays]

18. This is becoming surreal

The RNC has devolved into a 3-ring circus.

[1Hippiechick]

25. OMG - it's made the Enquirer? Wonder if they need any of the pix I copied from the FacePage? LOL

[featherman]

3. It's a twofer - first the RNC, then on to Jerry Springer

[islandmkl]

4. and the score is:

SHOTGUN - 1

LEVI JOHNSTON - 0

[MiniMe]

37. Bet it is the same shotgun that Sarah shots Moose with

[emulatorloo]

5. Will they get married on stage? EOM

[AndyA]

6. Why don't they just get married at the convention?

What the hell, it could be the big grand finale.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. A true story

A high school friend of mine sent her 16-year-old daughter off to her prom, all gowned and gorgeous.

The kid and her boyfriend got married that night. She was knocked up.

Right. My friend and her husband were devout Republicans.

The kid's reason for getting married on prom night?

"I didn't want to waste the gown."

The girl went on to have three kids, the third's father unknown, and divorce the boy she married that night.

My friend and her husband also divorced.

Family values.

[crickets]

20. Ah, geez. You know someone has seriously considered that.

It's practically a given some nutbag who hasn't thought it through has seriously considered that. Poor Bristol.

[1Hippiechick]

27. That's exactly what one of the radio talk show hosts said on the radio this a.m.! Only the Repukes

:puke:

:puke:

:puke:

:puke:

[spanone]

7. they're gonna rub our faces in it...it's the thug way

[trof]

8. I'm wondering how I'd feel...

about the kid who knocked up my 17 year old daughter.
I don't think I'd want him to join me for some partying.
I'd like to kick his ass.
Later, they can get married.
But right now, I'd just like to kick his ass.

[LibDemAlways]

17. Well if the Gov. and her husband do choose to

kick his ass, they better be prepared to have theirs kicked in return because Levi stated on his MySpace that he's into that sort of behavior. Oh, and he doesn't want kids. LOL! Aren't the internets wonderful?

[DemoTex]

19. I'm wondering what his other girl friends think.

Know what I mean?

[Critters2]

9. So, what does "I don't want kids" mean in Alaska?

Cuz I know what it means in Illinois and Iowa.

[daleo]

14. He doesn't like baby goats

How's that for Republican spin.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

10. Just when I think the Republicans.......

......... can't get any more offensive, they announce that they're going to parade this kid around like he's done something wonderful and is some kind of hero.

The dumb fuck didn't know enough to use a condom. A real hero, this one is.

I'm anything but a prude, but this one really leaves me wondering how utterly tasteless these people are.

Is McCain looking that hard for the White Trash vote?

[RamboLiberal]

16. Valley Trash - That's what some in Wasilla call themselves

I kid you not. Newsweek story on Palin's church.

"I'm 'Valley Trash' and proud of it," said Nate Bair, a church member on Sunday morning. (Valley Trash is a pejorative term for people who live in Wasilla and its environs.) An advocate for small government and lower taxes, and an opponent of national health care, Bair calls the Democratic nominee Barack Obama "a socialist." He was lukewarm about McCain, until the Arizona senator put Palin on the ticket.

29. Oh, man...........

That's just so much worse than even I imagined. She goes to churches run by uninformed lunatics. Did you see this quote? (I'm sure you did.)

"Because Jesus Christ died on the cross," the senior pastor, Ed Kalnins, told the crowd, "we can worship in public. How many people are thanking God for what's happening to Governor Sarah?"

I guess the dude never heard of the Constitution, the First Amendment. Talk about not getting it right!

And then this:

Kalnins guessed that about half of the people in his church have the gift of tongues. He has it himself, he says, though he rarely demonstrates it. "It's not meant to be shown off," he said. "It's not like flexing muscles. I received the gift in college, and it transformed my life."

Good, good, just what I want visiting our Vice President - some knuckledragger who thinks he can speak in tongues.

So much worse...........

[Wednesdays]

12. Oh, brother. On one hand they say, "Don't talk about it"

While on the other hand, they put it all on national TV. :banghead:

[Bob Dobbs]

13. So why the hell should Bristol's illegitimate child be off the table?

The republics can't stop jerking off about it.

Hypocrisy IS a campaign talking point.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

42. Would shunning her make you happy? No? Maybe...

waiting until she gives birth and stoning her and her "illegitimate" child to death
would bring you joy.
What an asshole!

Leave the kids alone!

[Bob Dobbs]

45. But its OK for the republics to use it as a campaign ploy?

You want to let them have it both ways.

We've let them have it both ways and more for eight years.

The absurd hypocrisy of them and you are too much.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

49. To see an absurd (and ignorant) hypocrite, look in a mirror!

Take a glance at YOUR family tree and back when life expectancy hovered around 30 years if at least some of your ancestors didn't "marry" at 15 there would be no (hyper-judgemental) you!

Leave the kids alone!

[ZenKitty]

46. I agree and I am really having a hard time understanding...

the incongruent dialogue on DU as of late.

[Bluebear]

15. "DON'T TALK ABOUT IT!!!!111" - - - then they put him on display.

[DeadManInc]

21. Was he 18 when she got pregnant?

[Fuzz]

22. I wonder if they will put his myspace page on the big screen

"Johnston, 17, who is entering his senior year at Wasilla HS, plays on the school hockey team and was once teammates on a youth squad with Palin's older brother, Track, 19, now in the Army.

Despite suffering a cracked bone in his shin last season, Johnston scored 24 goals in 24 games.

"We don't want to talk about this," said a woman who answered the phone at the Johnston home.

On a MySpace page subsequently taken down, Johnston boasts, "I'm a f - - -in' redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

"But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in' chillin' I guess."

"Ya f - - - with me I'll kick ass," he added.

He also claims to be "in a relationship," but states, "I don't want kids."

23. Repugs will eat it up...he's a new ROCK STAR...Good Looking and Stud...

and the Paris Hilton, Spears II crowd will get so engaged they will turn out in droves to vote for McCain.

After all...it's the only thing they ever see on TEE VEE... and the norm for emulating all those who are "trailblazers" in "single families." It's New ....it's good to get used to it.

Repug Party is trying to position themselves like Hollwood does to the youth of America....JUST DO IT! IT FEELS GOOD!

And, they trashed us 60's folks for that same thing. :rofl:

[Ilsa]

24. But first he's going to stop off in Seattle for some serious partying! nt

[still_one]

26. funny why he didn't marry her four months ago /nt

[1Hippiechick]

28. Somebody call that wacko WV preacher who shows up and demonstrates! LOL

[boomerbust]

30. I'll bet this mofo

Will show up all shined up in a blue suit and a red tie. This is just stunning!

[DS1]

31. I thought it was the Dems who were tacky

[Contrary1]

32. Levi Johnston should stay in Alaska...

Come to think of it, his Johnston should have stayed in his Levis.

[LibDemAlways]

36. Good one. His name is a gift to stand-up comics.

[MilesColtrane]

33. Dumb kid.

Commits a five minute major and ends up in the penalty box for the rest of his life.

[lpbk2713]

34. He's riding high right now but just wait till the election is over.

They have no choice but to bring him in to the fold right now. But after the rethuglicans lose and the Palin family goes back home .... this kid will be lower than whale shit and he and his family will be surrounded by their lawyers. The Johnston family had better start looking for a new residence in a blue town in a blue state because in about two months they will start to get the full treatment. If she did it to her former BIL she will surely do it to him and his family.

[malaise]

35. As KO just asked, if they want the child to be left alone

who have they announced this!!

[progressivebydesign]

38. That's some great parenting... they were planning to marry when she was 16?

Do the people in that town know that you can get married later in life.. like at 20? It's total BS that they wanted to get married before this... every teen thinks they want that when they're smitten with their teen lover. Once it's over, they're like "OMG! I can't believe I was SO into him!!!"

[MilesColtrane]

39. Usually over by 5th period study hall.

[Morning Dew]

44. The Wasilla Hilbillies

old maids at 18

[MiniMe]

40. I feel sorry enough for the kid

Imagine how scared he had to be about knocking up the governor's daughter. Now it is a national scandal and he may have knocked up the potential VP nominee's daughter. He has guts if he shows up. I wonder how many times he has been out of Alaska?

[FVZA_Colonel]

41. They're honestly going to try and turn this into some touch-feely moment to make "those evil dems"

look bad. Too bad this whole thing only proves abstinence-only sex-education doesn't work.

[KoKo]

43. When does the "contract" with the 'Caines of NC...get signed? n/t

[Retrograde]

47. Will they marry at the convention?

Sorry, my cynicism meter is pegging out tonight.

Waiting period? What are, some sort of law-abiding Democrats of something? We got an election to sway! (that's polite talk for steal)

[Solly Mack]

48. social climber

lolololol


I couldn't resist...ok...I could have but didn't want to
