Sarah just released this statement. Read it very carefully. She and Todd have their doubts too.

"Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. As parents, we obviously want what is best for our children, but Bristol is ultimately in charge of determining what is best for her and her beautiful son. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.

We pray that, as a couple, Bristol and Levi’s relationship matures into one that will allow Tripp to grow up graced with two loving parents in his life.

Governor Palin’s Statement on The Engagement of Bristol and Levi

I'm all for a united famly, but Levi is a jackass and don't put it past him to hurt Bristol and the Palin family again if he thinks he will get something out of it.

Levi is a immature fool, good luck Bristol.

As always, Sarah Palin is a class act!

So basically they said “this kid is a douche but she is an adult and there is nothing we can do about it” in the nicest way possible.

I just read this. Holy crap, Bristol’s nuts. Not telling her parents? Oh, Bristol, Bristol, Bristol. Sarah and Todd have endured a lot from you and your bad choices. I’m more than certain you’ll be sorry one day.

So quick after he came back. Breaking this in a magazine cover without telling her parents....is a huge red glag indicator.

Im afraid that Bristol is proving to be a immature young lady.
Hopefully it works out, but Im guessing there is huge heartbreak and manipulation in her future.

HUGE mistake, but hope its sincere and they make it. Just don’t believe a leopard can change his spots that fast (Levi). Tripp looks like grandpa!

OMG, I don't trust Levi at all. Actually, I have the feeling that this guy is being enabled by the democrats to infiltrate the Palin camp again, and if Sarah decides to run in 2012 Levi will strike and do the most damage close to the election by releasing photos, tapes, or any other scandalous information he can get his hands on (legitimate or not).  He clearly has no problem lying and making up stories and peddling innuendo, so imagine the damage he could cause Sarah – assuming she runs - if he attacks Sarah a few days before the election with some “bombshell.”

I just don't trust the guy, and I can't believe that after living a self indulgent life as a Hollywood stud, and after peddling scandal and innuendo regarding The Palins only a few months ago, he has seen the error of his ways and has found true love again with the same person he had no problem trashing.

I have defended Bristol in the past, and I got into some heated debates while defending her. No matter how independent she is now, she should have first told her parents about the engagement instead of revealing the news in a gossip magazine. I find that insensitive and discourteous.   But I wouldn't be surprised if that was Levi's idea, which it will confirm my suspicious that he is working for the Rats.

The guy is a freaking sleaze and an opportunist. I'm sorry if I sound cynical, but I just don't trust this guy at all.
