The left wing blog_loonies will have a field day!
If she was a democrat this would ensure her Presidency, too bad she is conservative, cause’ conservatives have to be absolutely perfect.
If they had stayed together as planned the left still attacks her.
Now that they split up the left will rail again. Why even care about the leftist scum. No reasoning with those fools.
so... you’re saying bristol is available? ;)
Who cares! What is Free Republic now the National Enquirer?
Get a life people.
Rejoice, lovebirds Rihanna and Chris Brown are still together!

Over 800 posts on this thread. Who would ever have thought...
Like a sweet little lady at church (not a Church Lady) told me, smiling, many years ago, “It makes such a difference when they’re raised in LOVE.”
And to all those holier than thou types who are so quick to judge Sarah Palin and throw her under the bus because of what her daughter did, remember the words of Jesus. He who is without sin cast the first stone. Judge not lest thou be judged.
Free Republic is to be the place for real honest news, not tabloid crap.
Wow this is F*Cking News!
I can’t believe the vitriol here, ranging from forcably removing the child to this somehow being all of Bristol’s doing.
It takes two people to make a marriage and what you all call a “proper family”. When one is not even 20, there is little idea of what that really means. Ask me, I know because I went down that road 22 years ago.
My former husband and I were, as we thought, madly in love and planned to spend the rest of our lives together, and we ended up in the same situation. I gave birth to our daughter just after my 18th birthday, and we had been married six months before.
Our relationship took an immedite hit with all of the growing and maturing pains that all of a sudden being responsible for this new life brings. And it’s even more of a strain when at least one has a vastly harder time adjusting to it, refusing to give up that child-like selfcenteredness. Our marriage after that was a complete dysfunctional disaster.
My former husband refused to work, began to drink all the time, was verbally and emotionally abusive, and caroused around with other women, staying out until the wee hours coming home only to litterally pass out on the bed. I think he did this because he just could never face the huge undertaking that being a partent and husband is, and it eventually became part of his being.
As far as my daughter was concerned I had to be the strength, the absolute primary caregiver and bread winner because I simply could not trust her father with her alone, and he wasn’t about to take any kind of responsibility for feeding, clothing, and sheltering her. And for me, I married him, and I was trying to work through this stuff — trying to get him to help himself and be the father she needed despite our differences.
About four years into this, with it getting worse by the day, I discovered he was carrying on a relationship with some girl down the street and she had gotten pregnant. He had taken money that I worked for and gave it her for an abortion. It was then that I knew that all my efforts were simply that, just mine.
To this day, I will never forget getting into it with him over this, and him standing in our kitchen saying he didn’t want the responsibility of a family or to be married anymore. I gave him 10 minutes to grab whatever of his personal belongings he could and get the hell out of my sight. And then he disappeared. I don’t think I’ve had an occasion to even know his whereabouts for at least 17 years.
But, I will tell you that he gave me and my daughter a very special gift. The tension and constant misery vansihed along with him and I was able to be more focused on her and give more than I ever could with this disruptive force hovering over the house.
I worked my rear off being everything to her that she needed. I did it all myself and put myself through school —WITHOUT GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS — and I am proud of that, and that I went from making a vastly huge mistake for everyone involved to making lemonade out of the lemons that two kids had handed themselves.
There something to be said for that old saying that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I think that I also taught my daughter a lot about what life and living is all about with strong values and work ethics out of necessity, all because I became so acutely aware of them as a matter of just making it from one day to the next.
It is possible for a happy ending in Bristol’s case even though the father doesn’t seem to be interested in the two parent household. He is probably being more pragmatic about it and admitting he’s a coward more than people are giving him credit for. I think that puts him slightly above my former husband in terms of character, but I think I’ll wait and see if he takes his fatherhood seriously by providing for the child before making my mind up completely.
Nursing is good but she is so Beautiful she should be an upfront person.Love Bristol and admire her courage.
