I cannot believe that there are FReepers thinking the worst of the Palin family because their teenage daughter becomes pregnant! Life happens, people!
My neighbor’s 14 year old granddaughter attended (and still attends) church her entire life, even got a certificate for having never missed a day of Sunday School in her life. She got pregnant. She never identified the father and kept the baby. The family is helping raise the child while the teen finishes school.
Senior McCain advisers said the Arizona senator and his top aides had known about Bristol's pregnancy before offering Palin the No. 2 spot on the GOP ticket.
"Senator McCain's view is this is a private family matter. As parents, (the Palins) love their daughter unconditionally and are going to support their daughter," said McCain spokesman Steve Schmidt.
Said Schmidt: "Life happens."
Steve Schmidt is on it. Every action coming out of this campaign since he took charge has been brilliant. Sen. McCain is clearly standing by Gov. Palin. They will weather this storm just fine.
