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.

the libs celebrate unwed mothers, hollyweird is full of them

i have had the talk with my children, all i can do is monitor them and have faith that they will make the right decision

[linn37]

Its a shame really. They will now focus on this rather then Palins abilitys.

[mylife]

Who would tap that?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Horror of horrors! Hypocritical family values on display.

Oh, well. It could be worse...McCain’s brother could be an unrepentant alcoholic who loves beer (Jimmah Carter) or Palin’s half-brother could be a ex-con, cocaine dealer (Hillary Rodham Clinton).

Yep...call out the funeral pall for the Pubbie ticket!

What is it that you think is not right?

[Antoninus]

I'm so tired of the sanctimonious crap that appears here.

Bad news for you, but it's only going to get worse--not just here. But everywhere on the MSM.

The young women made a mistake.

Indeed she did. And she's about to learn a hard lesson about consequences--beyond simply growing up fast. She's now a political pawn who is the target of some very evil people.

John Harwood on CNBC was talking about the announcement and he couldn’t bring himself to say LIBERAL bloggers were putting out this rumour and you can see in his face thinking “ugh you stupid liberals with your idiotic theories are going to make us look bad”.

transdermal contraception seems to work

my wife and I insist on it...for my daughter who lives with us

but alas, you do all you can.

girls don’t realize that late teens is like biological ground zero for egg impregnating

a young man’s tadpoles are as geeked up as they ever will be

and a girl’s egg and Fallopian’s and uterus are all much more accommodating than later on

regardless of the Menes cycle, on average if a young lady has sex 2 times a week unprotected she has a 30% chance of getting pregnant every month

that is pretty damned high

abstinence or the pill are the only real protection from pregnancy

I’m 50 years old....boys we already know are pretty driven to at least be obsessed with sex at that age

girls, once they find they like it and the power they have in it...Katie bar the door.

Some women never get comfortable with sex. Some girls get comfortable early on.

Who knows. It happens...always has. You deal with it like I’m sure the Palins will.

Thank you for your post at #448
Very nice to see that pro-life views are more than just a soap box convience.

[Arkinsaw]

The timing is not good, it screws the convention message badly as if its not already screwed. Even announcing Friday late would have been better. The timing is not good.

I have no idea if the McCain camp knew or not. But they either did not know, or are bad at timing.

Anyway, what is, is what is.

You are making me sick. You are ready to throw Sarah Palin off the ship because of THIS ?

I am 22 years old. I would love to be in politics someday. But this kind of thing eats at my desire. Would my family have to be subject to this sh*t ? This kind of thing makes me doubt the goodness of people.

[Kitten1]

Exactly.

I’ve posted this before - Obama is pushing Chicago-style destroy/intimidate politics to a national level. He has never had to actually compete for the positions he’s held. His surrogates work to destroy anyone who is perceived as a threat. Look at how he removed Jack Ryan, Alice Palmer and others from the field of competition. He’s never had to truly debate and defend his positions. And all the while, he attempts to be aloof and uninvolved in the attack.

His puppetmasters are working overtime to destroy Governor Palin. He can’t counter her provable experience which renders his political rhetoric useless - it only highlights his ineptitude. So he wants her gone. The blessing is that the new media keeps a spotlight of truth on his actions.

I wonder why the guy didn't marry her as soon as he found out she was carrying his child.

She seems a bit of a knockout. My only guess is the "guy" she did it with is just a complete puss. A democrat, perhaps?

[defconw]

Well in our family the parents bought them a trailer and put it at their farm. The girl got her GED, the boy finished school and worked nights and the parents helped out. Family takes care of family, at least where I come from.

GOP VP =

"Palin's daughter expecting a baby!"

DEM VP =

"Al Gore’s son arrested on drug charges!"

[petitfour]

Was McCain supposed to choose someone whose children are perfect?????????????????? ROFLOL

[4Liberty]

That’s my point.

[rintense]

Yep... that she was pregnant then and had an abortion.

[longtermmemmory]

the only people upset about this are:

upset she is not having an abortion like a good san francisco liberal.

upset she does not file a restraining order against the boy.

upset she does not find a nice girl in Massachusetts to marry

upset she got pregnant via sex with a man rather than a turkey baster.

This is an American family showing their best when things are worst.

Quite frankly all of us know friends or family who had a wedding with a early arrival pregnancy.

(note: the VP is going to be a grandmother! :-) )

Quite frankly we should send SUPPORT AND best wishes to the future mother and father and ask where is the wedding registry. (getting married and keeping the baby is to be rewarded)

[CharlesWayneCT]

Sorry. But you did compare her “trouble” to Biden’s son, who is under investigation for criminal activity — and for too long, girls who get pregnant were treated as criminals or worse, shunned and sent off so as to not embarrass their parent.
