Palin's 17 yr old daughter prego

[Mike.357]

I am not passing judgement but you can be darn sure a lot of others will.

Personally it does not bother me in the least. You can't live for your kids. And teens have been getting knocked up since the beginning of time.

Congrat's to the soon to be grandparents. A much grander office than VP

Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said. 'We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,' the Palins' statement said. 'Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,' the Palins said."

The kids have to find something to do in Alaska. I don't see a major problem either.

[dralarms]

I see no problem with this either, at least she is owning up and he is manning up and doing tohe right thing. More power to them and to their parents for standing with them.

[Marswolf]

It's hilarious to see the Democrats suddenly become family values people condemning premarital sex - at least for Republicans.

Wasn't Obama born to an unwed mother?

[Guest nj.piney]

how do you get pregnant when alaskans are born wearing thermal underwear? must wear them backwards with the flap in the front.

[Guest Loki]

I hope the Democrats try to push this.

And I hope the MSM has the balls to point out that Obama's mother was 17 and unmarried when she got pregnant with him.

The only thing the Dems should be mad about is Bristol didn't get an abortion.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

Hmmm... so I guess this takes some wind out of that theory that the baby born this May was actually Bristol's an not Sarah's... unless that daughter is a serious floozy, managing to get knocked up twice in about a year...

Like the rest of you, I don't care.

[Guest sagebrushjim]

No Big Deal !!! Just proves that Palin's Future Son-in-Law does Not Believe in "Gun" Control Either... At least Not His Gun !!!

[Guest Grout]

I'd hit it.

[greenego]

I don't think Obama will have a lot to say. Remember what he said about "burdening" his daughter under the same situation.

[strickj]

I'd hit it.

Durn! Beat me to it!

What is legal age of consent in AK anyway

[Guest tokarev]

Obama has already stated that Bristol's pregnacy is off limits in the election. He also stated how his mother was 18 when he was born.

I hate to give him any props, but I read his quote and thought that it was pretty classy.

He'd be stupid not to take the high road. His campaign will still exploit this, though.

[Guest GLOCK2340]

Its a looooonnnggg, coooollddd winter in Ak!!!! You gotta have something to do! I don't think that this hurts Palin at all, and if the Dems come after her for it it will backfire!

[SpacemanSpiff]

I don't care about a knocked up daughter. That's only going to get the religious fanatics in an uproar.

I want to know what the candidates views are on gun control, creating jobs, fixing taxes, the war, welfare reform, social security, etc. Things that are actually important. Things that they may actually have a chance to do good on.

NOT what kind of dirt they can drag up on each other. I hate political mudslinging which is one main reason why I hate politics.

[memphismason]

WOW...a hot Mom and daughter tag team.......never mind:)

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

The religious folk ought to have no reason to get in an uproar over this either, unless they've just lost any modicum of perspective. If having a teenage daughter who does shortsighted things is a reason for contempt, then I'd say that about 95% of parents are in trouble.

Screw this crap. I'm waiting for the veep debate, and hoping that she disassembles Biden and thus delivers a hearty bitch-slap to all the naysayers.

[BryanP]

He'd be stupid not to take the high road. His campaign will still exploit this, though.

So far all the stories I'm hearing are coming from the MSM and from bloggers. His campaign hasn't said a word about it other than "it's off limits."

[Mark@Sea]

Yet another demonstration of how biased the media is, and how unhinged the left can be. The farther they push this (and just watch, they will) the worse they look.

Beautiful girl, beautiful mom, the girl is keeping the baby and marrying the father, I don't see a problem here.

[molonlabetn]

The kid will have good genes. No complaints here.
