Unwed teen mom Bristol Palin did a turnabout Wednesday with her views on teen sex, saying abstinence is a realistic option for teenagers.....Johnston said he and Palin had used condoms but occasionally had slipped up. That's how Tripp was conceived, he said.

She’s using her mother’s run for Public office for financial gain in a Public Way. I’m not intolerant of peoples mistakes, but for many of the people on this forum everything the Palin’s do is tolerable and righteous. If someone points out an obvious truth about the Palin’s they are demonized. If this were anyone else most of you would be calling them something not so nice just as you are doing with the child’s father. I’m pointing out your hypocrisy.

And you have just revealed yourself to be what most thought you are: a troll. Do you know why you're a troll? Because you're using the exact same argument against Bristol, Sarah, etc. that the scum over at DU use.

If there is any hypocrisy going on here, its you.

I’m kind of sick of so many people being so critical of Bristol Palin, as if their family is so perfect, most families aren’t. Bristol handled herself real well yesterday during her interviews, and at the town hall meeting itself. Naturally, some will try to exploit this politically, but I say give the kid a break.

Having done my own genealogy, and having helped numerous others work on theirs, I’ve discovered that if it weren’t for out of wedlock births in past generations, over half of us wouldn’t even be here.

I left out stupidity because personal attacks on FR are forbidden.

LOL! Admirable restraint. :)

Here we go - You do away with any rational argument because you are part of the Cult of Saint Sarah . You have been programmed to become deranged, abuse and insult anyone who is at all critical of your “Great Leader”. You are also programmed to call anyone who disagrees with you a “Troll, Romney, Ron Paul or McCain Supporter” So until you are deprogrammed you cannot help yourselves.

She has made herself a public figure using her family and her personal choices she will have to be open to the criticism that goes along with it. It was her free choice to accept the job to exploit that.

Sorry to crash your oh so precious illusion but there is no cult here. I call them as I see them. And you are nothing more than the garden variety troll who hides behind faux conservatism and uses it as a way to justify leftist attacks on the Palins. It would be one thing if you actually had an intelligent reply to Bristol, Sarah, or whatever, but you slip into the same vitriol the left does. That isn't conservative. It isn't even republican. I'm not ever sure its human.

As far as deprogramming, I suggest you seek professional help yourself. You clearly live life within a MSM manufactured reality.

As far as this clever little banter, I've got all day, honey, so keep bringing it. The more you speak, the more you expose yourself for what you really are.

Why are you trying to “romney” a young woman who
is speaking up about her past mistakes?

Because she is a woman?
Because she is not running for Office?

or because this is part of Team Romneys continuing
attack on Gov.Palin and her children?

I think someone who clearly harbors an obsession with a teenage girl shouldn’t be judging much of anything.

Finally a working puter for me....
OK. How about this mister...
Let's let the libs control the issue. Lets pretend that our children never, ever, fail. Let's just pretend that a fair amount of teenagers getting preggers and giving birth do not come from pro-life families, cause gosh, you know, liberal families would never abort their kids and grandkids....
Let's continue to shove all our “imperfect” families in a closet, shut them up and shut them away. Dear Lord, someone out there might think we aren't perfect.....
Lets let the libs take control of the issue, as they have all along. Let them use it to fund more abortions with our tax dollars, more welfare, more “sex education” cuz you know its important that our kids learn about flavored condoms, fisting and exploring their “bi” sexuality or whatever the newest fad is........
Lets let the libs define the issue, to let them be the hand that reaches out to parents and teens dealing with this issue, cuz you know, its better to let them do it, than show conservatives in a “trashy light”.....
We have an issue that MANY a family is going though right now (gasp, even conservative ones) and we have an opportunity to show the pro-life, pro-family alternative to the lefts anti-family, anti-life, pro-do-it-if-it-feels-good message...
But hey, no worries, I am sure if we shut the Palins up there is an abundant flow of liberals that will be glad to drag their peeps out to educate young people and their familes....
After all, conservatives have perfect families. We never deal with issues such as teen pregnancy or homosexuality, or rebellion, or *insert issue here*....
We, as conservatives can take control of issues, offer solutions, instead we say SHUT UP, go away (but vote for us). Then we have the nerve to piss, whine and moan that the left controls the issue.
Go ahead, preach it, tell the world, we are the party of perfect families and perfect kids and then when we aren't the left says “SEE, hypocrites, the whole lot of them”!!!! We make ourselves hypocrites by refusing to address issues, by sticking our heads in the sand, by not taking control of it. But hey, let the libs do it, they are pro’s by now....
i need a sarcasm tag?
Sara and Bristol are taking control of the issue, speaking from experience, an experience happening all over the Country. Let them speak. Let them reach out. Let them take the ball and run with it, defining an issue instead of being defined by it and the left. Its about damn time.

Isn’t it ironic how whenever Romney lets loose with a Palin slam, the Palin haters seems to surface on FR?

‘She has made herself a public figure using her family and her personal choices she will have to be open to the criticism that goes along with it. It was her free choice to accept the job to exploit that.”

Actually it was the left that made her a public figure in their rush to condemn Palin. She’s only answering the attacks.

Lighten up; it was hyperbole.

I realize you probably meant it as such. In an age where honor killings are starting to occur in the US it doesn’t really seem appropriate.

Where is you proof.
“If someone points out an obvious truth about the Palin’s they are demonized.”
What truth. It seems you don’t know the truth even if it smack you up side the head.
“If this were anyone else most of you would be calling them something not so nice just as you are doing with the child’s father.”
You don’t know that because you don’t me. I have learned like I said tolerance goes a long way. IT seem to me you are the one who is a hypocrite. Your own words were a dead give a way. I will not in the future waste my time with insufferable like you. Now put that in your pipe on smoke it.

Re: your comment about GOP hacks showing up in droves

What's funny is that the GOP establishment seems to have just realized that Sarah Palin has the base of the party locked up tight and they're panicked. Don't worry about it. It will get worse.

As Dennis Miller said last night about why he loves her more and more every day...."she bugs all the right people". LOL.

I am a women, therefore have been a teenage girl, who has a teenage daughter. Honestly ,I don’t much want to hear about Bristol’s past mistakes. I am only saying what 90% of the people out there are thinking. The Palin saga goes on if it’s not one thing it’s the other.
