Never said she was.
What a douchey comment. Thanks for contributing nothing to the discussion.
How is stating the truth "douchey"?
I almost posted an attack here, but I’ll refrain.
Oh, go ahead, attack me for stating the truth...
Let me ask you all a question: How much credence would you give a hypothetical teenage, unmarried mother friend of your daughter's (or son) for her criticisms of others? Seriously.
The girl had sex outside of marriage with her high school sweetheart, in high school, since when did that eliminate a person from consideration for anything, for the rest of their life?
Do you know who the 20 year old Bristol is today, in regards to conservative causes?
We all know what Meghan is like. Am I to discount anything Bristol says conforming to that picture, simply because Palin was an unwed mother? Oh, please!
“Oh, go ahead, attack me for stating the truth...”as I see it.””
Nope, there is quite frankly enough attacks on FR these days already, which is as good a reason to refrain as any.
“How much credence would you give a hypothetical teenage, unmarried mother friend of your daughter’s (or son) for her criticisms of others?”
It would depend on the woman, quite frankly.
People make mistakes. It is how they recover that really counts for who they are in my book. Bristol has had unique oppurtunities for a teenage mother since 2008, that is true. I do not think she was on her way to becoming a welfare mom even if Governor Palin had not been selected for VP candidate.
On the other hand, I have Meghan McCain’s public scribblings and random thoughts to compare what Bristol Palin has to say about her. I have to say Bristol Palin is probably telling the truth.
I’d give much more credence to a teenage MOTHER’s opinion than a girl who had an ABORTION! Just because one has made mistakes in their own lives doesn’t mean their view of others is flawed. In fact, making mistakes, taking responsibility for the consequences of those actions, and learning from them would make the teenage mother infinitely more wise than her peers in MANY cases.
Is the AP going to have 10 “journalists” fact check this book?
