The odds are against them, Becky. No education, no job skills, no life commitment, and a baby on the way.
Yes I do. Am I incorrect? If you have ever read any of my posts, you know his criticism is mindless.
As the father of two unmarried teenage daughters, I regard teenage sex and teenage pregnancy as something to be avoided. I'm also old enough to realize that my wishes are not necessarily going to be followed.

“This is another mccain flub-up”
So none of our elected officials should be in office if any of their children have had pre-marital sex?
If you think that abstinence-only education somehow excludes basic biological education regarding reproduction, you are incorrect.
You want to know why Romney failed?
Look in the mirror.
His supporters were his biggest enemies, their behavior like an albatross around his neck.
If he ever becomes President, it will be in spite of his poisonous little army of supporters.
Ah, another customer fooled!! LOL...just kidding Petronski.
Petronski would be the first to state that it is his Catholic faith which provides the consistency of thought that others lack. No boast. Just Truth.
If Romney were the VP candidate and one of his son’s got a young lady pregnant before marriage, I highly doubt that information would generate 1500 posts on FR.
I'm sorry to be so blunt...but screw the family at this point...this is sad for Republicans.
Speculative. And remember that the media will make a pattern where there is none and making that pattern would be pretty easy with someone like Romney.
Premarital sex is just not a smart idea. If you're an American teen, at least finish high school first.
Nobody here disagrees with that. The issue is whether Palin was a good choice and the answer is [drum roll]: she is an imperfect but awesome true conservative!
This is what convinced you that McCain has poor judgment? Unbelievable!!!
Your judgment couldn't be any worse then could it?
Well, the wedding hasn’t happened yet. If it was my daughter, I wouldn’t have run. Maybe I am wrong. If I had an unwed pregnant teen aged daughter at home, a newborn of my own, running for VP, campaigning across the country isn’t something I would do.
That is my value system. Family trumps all. I have turned down better paying jobs that would take more time away from my kids. They are my world.
Glass houses, n00b.
FWIW, it would from me. Illegitimacy is illegitimacy, and getting knocked up outside the bounds of marriage is getting knocked up outside the bounds of marriage.
Says it all. You know as a parent of three, you have to trust your kids to make the right choices and be there to support them when they decide poorly. That is what I see happening here. Otherwise, showing a lck of trust in them causes them to rebel even more. The Palins seem to have a rather large extended family and we know very little about the fiance. Did they get engaged then get pregnant? Does it even matter? Is this even news???
That being said... I have to commend the campaign for issuing the statement during the Gustav coverage. Too shrewd for words.
Actually, been here 11 months longer....Thanks for the thought!
Of course unmmarried pregnacy is wrong. However, they are now engaged to be married.
BTW, Did you vote for Reagan? Reagan was probably or best president. You do realize that the Reagans married on March 4, 1952 and Patti was born Oct 21, 1952, right?
Guys drop dead from heart attacks in their 50s too. I think Sarah's family would work it out. She's got her husband plus her older children to help
“I think you made a very good point about not taking it into the national campaign.”
To me this goes to McCain. He makes bad decisions. People have asked what would I do and the answer is not run for Vice President when the opposition is someone as dangerous as Obama.
