Please see posts 18 and 32. I condemn any freeper who disparages Sarah Palin or her daughter, but there are a few of us who are concerned that SP’s daughter has not married yet, and are expressing that concern respectfully. I suspect a few of the freepers who insult SP are lurkers trying to make pro-life people look like hypocrites.

Good for you, newb. You might like DU.

No doubt about that.

That crossed my mind as well. Why any delay in marriage? What does he need to do that prevents him from marrying her? Have a small private ceremony and be done with it. Given what I have seen of him, a small private ceremony followed by a brief honeymoon then four years in the army beginning with six months training at Fort Benning would be exactly what this guy could use.

Plus, Bristol and Levi gave their son a way out. He has the middle name Mitchell. Mitch is a fine name to use if he likes it.

Totally agree, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and blame the need for insurance coverage for the birth for the delay in marrying, but they should get married, asap. This is looking more like a Jamie Lynn Spears situation every day.

Oh, sounds promising!

There is nothing wrong with online schooling if you have discipline and tenacity... (but you need those for any other school as well).

[Old Sarge]

Tripp, who knows, maybe she named him after Linda Tripp LOL.

Ya know, that was MY first thought, too!

[Bunkasaurus]

YOU don’t consider Trig, Track, etc. weird.

What does “in your face” names mean?
Won’t go over well in HR?
What are you edging up to here?
Come on...just say it.

“Good for you, newb. You might like DU.”

Oh, because I do not think teenage pregnancy should be glamorized you think I belong at DU. Get a grip!!!

Sorry if I think that this situation is sad!

I stand by my original statement.

You seem to have race on your mind!

Shame on you ;-)

[Bunkasaurus]

It’s not funny.
Nor are you.

Somehow I think you wouldn't have found Bristol "exercising her reproductive rights" so sad.

[buccaneer81]

Newbs are so annoying. And self-righteous. And dull.

[Past Your Eyes]

Or maybe “Toque” if they were Canadian.

I agree, Uta....I, too, wish those kids would have gotten married as soon as they found out they were pregnant. I admire them for how they’re handling this huge mistake, but I’m disappointed that they’re likely going to make a big deal about the wedding and spend a ton of money.

In my opinion, pregnancy outside of marriage disqualifies you from celebrating the ceremony. It should have be done quietly and quickly. That’s just me....

[dbacks]

“But what is up with the names LOL? Trig, Track, and now Tripp?”

I heard they were family names.

[Marysecretary]

Yes, young lady. Not having sex is the best way to prevent pregnancy. But I’m sure you knew that...

[techno]

I may be not so inclined to salute the Palin’s for the ‘blessed event’ not because the family has every right to welcome Tripp into their family, but that the MSM will somehow exploit this for their own purposes. I don’t trust them and I never will. My advice for Sarah: just let this story drop out of sight and move on with your political career.

[buccaneer81]

Or maybe “Toque” if they were Canadian.

I like that. If they're French Canadian it could be "Poutine."

Full disclosure; my Mom is French Canadian. ;-)
