I think some people might be getting a little defensive about this. Bristol is an unmarried pregnant teen. I think it makes the rumor mongers claiming Trig is really Bristol's baby look a bit foolish. It doesn't necessarily hurt Palin, even though the GOP is the family values ticket. I think a lot will depend on who the father is. If the father is a single young man this actually might contribute to the very likable image of the Palin Family as a normal American family. If the father is a married man or a criminal then it will start to take a toll on Palin's popularity.
BTW, for those of you angry at me thinking I am criticizing Palin I am actually just telling you what everyone else following the story knows. For some reason the story has not been posted on FR. I am a big fan of unwed teenage mothers, being one myself many years ago. My oldest son was born while I was living at a home for unwed mothers run by the Salvation Army. My story had a very happy ending.
IT'S BRISTOL BABY!!!
I was just making a play on that!
“If the father is a single young man this actually might contribute to the very likable image of the Palin Family as a normal American family. If the father is a married man or a criminal then it will start to take a toll on Palin’s popularity.”
From what I understand, the young man and Bristol are engaged. She has a ring on her finger.
Actually the story has been posted at least twice on FR, before this post. I apologize to you, I made a remark about you in a post to Ohio conservative and I regret it. I guess I should look before I leap sometimes. I do not believe this will hurt Palin in any way and will make the Kos idiots look really stupid with their theory about Sarah covering for her daughters baby.
If Sarah Palin were a Democrat, the media would be praising her for her support of her daughter and for not casting out of the house. All the same publications that praised Jamie Lynn Spears for her teenage pregnancy would be running highly postive profiles of Bristol and the father of the child.
But Palin is a Republican. That changes everything. The media, the Obama/Biden camp and all them are stratagizing right now, that’s why we haven’t heard from them yet. But we will. We’ll hear things like “some family values the Palin’s have” and “why didn’t she us a condom?” Things like that. Don’t even be surprised if they call her a slut or a whore. It’s going to be terrible.
As much as I’d like for Sarah Palin to stay on the ticket, I think for the protection of her daughter she should take herself out of the race. It’s going to be awful what the media and the leftist are going to do to that girl.
