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.

Chaplain. Well said. I could not have said it any better. Hooah.
I felt sad and let down reading the headline. The libs will have a field day with this, of course. But knowing she is choosing to have her baby is a good thing. Kids can just be so stupid.
She probably has more experience than Barack Hussein Obama.
They can push it all they want. If they politicize this pregnancy, it will come back to haunt them.
No, it’s not nonsense. IF TRUE, it’s going to be used endlessly to bash socons as hypocrites,”
They can and will bash the Palins all they want. Bristol made a mistake but Sarah is doing the honorable and only right thing by encouraging her daughter to marry the dad just as she did the right thing when she was told Trig had Downs. She is living her faith and doing the right thing in God’s eyes and in the eyes of most in America.
They’re going to bash the Palins on things that have no basis in fact as we’ve already seen with the Bristol being the mom of Trig lunacy. If the dims get too nasty with this it will absolutely blow up in their face as they’ve already alienated many Hillary supporters.
Why?
So was my adorable great nephew. But guess what, my nephew took responsibility, married his mother before he was born and is a wonderful father. They now have an adorable little girl too.
I guess Obama's father could have learned something from my nephew.
So should McCain abruptly dump Palin and choose Lieberman?
Maybe McCain should just quit the race because his VP pick's daughter is pregnant.
We are electing politcal leaders here, not spotless and sinless families.
The liberals would love for conservatives to turn against Palin. Don't buy into that.
Conservatives will show love to those who do the right thing when faced with difficult life choices.
That joker is right.
I expect Obama will be sending Bristol a sympathy card...”Sorry you were punished...if you change your mind here’s the phone number for Planned Parenthood of Alaska.”
OOOOoooohhhh!!!! Good memory. This better make the MSM. It’s time we do some serious compare and contrast between the two tickets.
I am
My son attended his mommy and daddy’s wedding. Sometimes stuff happens and you got to have faith things will work out for the best.
This makes Palin even more real and down to earth than the phony ticket on the left.
Yep. That’s the problem is how it was handled. If they would have leaked the issue before he actually picked the VP, it would not have become a scandal.
It’s not a Palin problem, it’s a McCain problem. He didn’t handle the situation correctly.
'She preaches abstinence and her own daughter gets knocked up? She can't even keep her house in order! How can she be VP?'
Almost every teenage girl I’ve ever known to get pregnant got pregnant on one form of birth control or another.
More important than giving them the false comfort of some prescription that promises to let them behave without consequences, parents should use these situations as life lessons in personal responsibility. And that seems to be exactly what the Palin’s are doing.
