Mama Tiger: Grandma Sarah Palin cuts to the chase with journalists eager to dismiss her daughter Bristol and husband-to-be as "high school drop outs" just days after Bristol became mother to a little boy Mrs. Palin's first grandchild. Link has the governor's complete statement about motherhood, media - and faith.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
How many was she actually married to? I heard she had an open door policy at her trailer in Arkansas.
If you are a Rat you get a pass: Osamas mother was White trash in those days and nothing more.
Oh, shush!!! You are totally too judgmental. I suppose you and your offspring have never made any mistakes in life.
Your self-righteous tone sets the stage that you’ve never done wrong in your life. Because you are a human being, I know for a fact you’ve sinned/done wrong/not always lived a righteous life. You’re no different than any other human being. I suggest you remove the branch from your own eye before removing the speck from someone else.
Why are you condescending to Gov. Palin? Calling her "dear"?
I don't see anywhere in the governor's statements an implication that "single Mom's have the situation [her] daughter has." Note, she discourages teenaged pregnancy strongly.
But what relevance do other "single Mom's [sic]" have to this, anyway? We all are responsible for our own decisions and for finding the best way forward in a difficult situation. As our grandmothers used to say: Where there's a will, there's a way.
And the point is that Palin's daughter did the right thing, after she did the wrong thing.
Don't knock correspondence (or online) high school, either, in which both Bristol and Levi are enrolled.
Online high school can be an excellent alternative to crappy public high schools, whether a student is pregnant or rearing a child, or not.
then.......
"Well Im comforted in the fact neither they nor my beautiful grandchild will go on to journalism school as you and I did and graduate to cause dissappointment your parents surely felt ".
I am not shocked to hear this baloney from the media, but I am surprised at the reaction of some FReepers, who call themselves “pro-life”.
How easy it would have been for Sarah to take her daughter discreetly to a “doctor” who would have removed the “blob” that became Tripp, at three months gestation. How many other high profile politicos have done this with their daughters?
Some on FR want to destroy Sarah Palin to improve their candidates’ chances in 2012. Like the Huckabee and Romney contingents.
A pox upon any candidate who has to tear down others to make himself look good.
Just as YOU are being “judgmental” with me?
Such a hypocrite. Calling me names as YOU do the SAME.
It's no wonder you support UNWED KIDS having babies.
We don't have Palin family values. I guess you have to be a “pitbull with lipstick” to defend this. All Sarah Palin is is a BIG MOUTH bwitch. She neglected her family and the evidence of it is a pregnant daughter and she still doesn't get it.
As for our family NONE of them has gotten pregnant before they married. We are pleased with that. We are THERE for our kids. We don't gender swap either. Dad is Dad and Mom is Mom. Dad doesn't need to be a part time Mom because Mom is too busy selfishly pursuing her 15 minutes of fame. Sarah is all about BIG MOUTH selfish ambition. She's also not to bright - which she seems to revel in ... . She served her purpose and made voting for McPain less distasteful. Now it's time for Sarah to drift into oblivion. Sarah is NO ROLE model in this house.
I pity you.
Oh, aren’t you all just SOOOO WONDERFUL!!!
Remember the Scripture: “Pride goeth before a fall.”
“along with some erroneous information that was published,” ........................ Golly Gee, who would do that????? sarc/
If Sarah wants to get anywhere on the National Scene, she should learn to keep her mouth shut. She might not like what the press is saying about a personal matter, but she would be better of to say nothing. People get tired of the same old saws, and she should reserve her comments for a real issue.She has to realize the press is just doing what they always do.
nmh is a rabid Romneyite.
No sense in trying to make her see the light.
“None are so blind as those who will not see.”
Gov Palin was attempting to set the record straight and protect her daughter, etc.
you got that right!

I agree. All she does is feed the fire and what she is defending is problematic ... she needs to SHUT UP and deal with her family issues.
And what values do you think they have? Seems to me they're a fairly "normal" family, considering the circumstances, and have had to deal with something they never expected.
I'm so glad that no one in your family has ever gotten pregnant before marriage... are you sure they were all chaste? Maybe they were just fortunate.
Al, The Snakeoil Salesman, Gore is still to busy promating himself to attend to his families problems.
Yeah... we should all be sheep and never question or challenge the lying propanda wing of the Democrat party. You probably also have this poster on your wall.
She might not like what the press is saying about a personal matter, but she would be better of to say nothing.
You mean she should just let the media lies and slander go unchallenged. That worked out so well for Dubya... You don't realize that giving the media constantly a pass is what is killing us politically.
Also dear,isn't it time your daughter and the father married?
Sarah dear,it's time to PIPE DOWN!
Are you always a crude, obnoxious, busybody pharisee, or only when it's going against Palin?
