God knows enough of our own kids and families have screwed up their lives or had babies before they got married.

Mary, the lesbian daughter also had a child out-of-wedlock



Mary was an adult...and much older than Palin’s daughter...Palin’s underage daughter.

That’s actually a pretty nice article that makes the Palin’s look good.

I hope not. That’s what I’m afraid of, what’s going to come out about the boyfriend.

I have never heard of Nathan Thornburgh before, but I will watch for him in the future. This is a very well written piece and he has a real “ear” for people.

Oh, it will last. You see, most Alaskans regard people in the lower 48 as a different cultural species entirely. :-)

“Look mama!”

“Don’t touch the lower 48 reporters, dear, they might bite.”

“Like a grizzly?”
“Yes, but their bite is much more infectious than a grizzly’s.”

so the left basicly KNEW the mother covering for daughter was fake but let this slide.

Makes you wonder what establishment times leaked this and what type of human scum think keeping the baby and getting married is a bad thing.

If you’re saying the election should still revolve around policy choices, and that McCain’s policies could be better, I agree. On the other hand, I’m not sure what you’re saying “real conservatives” don’t support: of course “real conservatives” don’t favor unwed pregnancy, but I know of no conservative principle violated when, under the circumstances, parents such as the Palins (and Dobson) actually want a family built rather than torn apart.

I found the photo, too. Not hard to do, if you know how to do research. But I won’t post it here. It will probably become public knowledge soon enough.
