ST. PAUL -- The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

You got that right!
Please see #1107, I meant to ping you too :)
Looks like another mcain flub-job. How can Freepers be OK with teen pregnancy and not have any concerns about the parents. Sad.
*** HOLD ON ***
Left wing bloggers have picked up some kid named Chris Ray (who is half-white, half-black)..
The Palin press release...
We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.
God bless you, Senator McCain.
Do you have any children under 21?
Yeah, the people who identify with this are:
People who got pregnant and kept the baby and got married
People who are the result of such an event.
Probably a pretty big number there.
Yeah, neither one chose murder.
First off, I'd like to say: Go pound sand.
Secondly, what is an "idiot>"? Is that worst than a regular idiot? I'm not to familiar with that term.
It really is a private family matter.
Good catch. That subconsciously bothered me, too - it took your post to lift fog off the subtle verbal slander.
Like the McCain spokesman said, "Life happens". As I sit here in the Bay Area, so many of my fellow 30, 40, and 50-something "exciting active adults" have become members of the Darwinian Dead-Enders Club. (I myself am also unfortunately in that club.) Pregnancy is thought of like a cancer diagnosis, and gets basically the same course of treatment.
Seventeen is young, to be sure, and this will make getting a higher education harder work - but far, far from impossible. Maybe she'll miss out on "getting drunk 'till you puke" college parties, but you know what? Looking back, some of those are fun memories, but if I could trade those memories for a family right now, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
No one said she is a slut.
And no one is saying that it is OK she is pregnant because she is “in love”.
Or are you?
To the best of my knowledge, adhering to the standards I was taught - and being disappointed in those who don’t meet the same standards as they were taught - differs greatly from “keeping the rest of you pure.”
If I am wrong, please so inform me.
I would imagine—a LOT!! It’s a shame there are no doubt good honorable people who are afraid to run because of something some jerk is going to dig up from 1972. It’s ridiculous. Of course everyone has a skeleton in some form or another. I hope this blows up in the RATS faces with a humiliating defeat in November.
I will verify your post. We are indeed living in an era of catastrophic collapse of population in the “first world” countries.
According to Obama she’s being punished with a child.
And it is your right to be really offended about unimportant things.
Hormones are indeed powerful.
Condoms and birth-control pills are likewise powerful. And, even in Alaska, I bet they’re available.
