"None of this should come as a surprise," one industry source tells me. "This year's 'Dancing' was up over 23 percent thanks to Bristol. Love her or hate her, you just can't turn away. This is what makes her so valuable. Now is her time to make a lot of money and she knows it."

That's so true! I'm happy for her. I think what the audience liked best is her demeanor as compared to the other contestants. She looked like your typical young all-American girl – nothing trashy or indecent.  She has an innocence and humility in the way she talks,  the way she dresses, and even the way she dances. I think people liked that. I know I did.

I wish her the best of luck and I hope she makes lots of money in the near future. It will give her the economic independence that will help her support herself and her child, and it will free her from opportunistic-good-for-nothing-leeches like Levi and his ilk.

Winning the trophy would've been nice, but on the other hand, what really counts is building a fan base and using the show as a launchpad for other endeavors. 

You did good, Bristol!

This post is a great example that many ‘Bristol’ supporters and some ‘Palin’ supporters are not actually advocates for conservativism but are advocates of ‘grrrrl power’.

How can we praise Bristol for using her ‘fame’ for money yet condemn Levi for using his ‘fame’ for money?

Why talk about Bristol’s baby as if it is only hers? Is it not Levi’s baby also? And doesn’t Levi doing well economically is also good for the baby?

Yet, the poster above only writes nasty about Levi. It is acted as if it was Levi’s fault Bristol got pregnant. As if Bristol wasn’t a participant!

And of course, Bristol is getting child support from Levi. Conservatism is against child support especially when the mother is wealthy and can take care of the child on her own.

Yet, you hear NOT ONE WOMAN at FreeRepublic point this out. And when I mention it, there are only *crickets*.

It is clear that many women here on Free Republic are not interested so much in conservatism but are interested in ‘grrrl power’.

People are quick to say ‘misogyny’ is the cause of why people dislike Palin. But with examples of the above, it shows that ‘misandry’ is a bigger reason for her support.
