Source for the claim made by you that the essentially only thing Sarah Palin will do or has done for Bristol Palin is to "send her checks".
If you're going to assert it, please provide the citation for the assertion.
People are stating that the Palins are being supportive of their daughter, and I don’t see how Sarah Palin can be supportive if she is in Washington or campaigning for VP. I don’t think supportive means just sending a check.
My only complaint about this is that I don’t think her running for VP is good timing for the Palins. I also don’t think this helps the republicans.
I did say that I would prefer that the baby be givin up for adoption, but that is because I would prefer all out of wedlock babies be put up for adoption to 2 married adults. I think that is what is in the best interest of the baby. It’s also what I would recommend to my own daughters if they were to ever get pregnant. It would be something they could always be proud of.
