The Rethugs are crying for privacy? It doesn't get any better than this This Republican party is FILLED with Corrupt white trash-perverts-child molesters-drug addicted crooks that look for sex under any rock (or toilet stall) they can find! You can't make this stuff up! AND ALL IN THE NAME OF GOD!
I'd say they better get on their knees and pray - but they'd probably think that was foreplay!
HAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA!
McCain, Palin, and their ilk want nothing better than to shove their moralistic social beliefs down the throat of every American. They made this an issue and now what do we get: boo hoo hoo from Republicans, stop picking on the poor girl, show the family some privacy.
Tough!! If a 17 year old out-of-wedlock pregnant girl is bad, then either Palin failed as a mother or the neo-fascist polices of the Conservativies failed to instill the morals they so preciously cherish and want us all to believe are superior to Democrats. Either way, both are not fit to run this country.
the double-standard issue is what bugs me.
I don't give a shit if Bristol is pregnant... but if you're going to preach your moral values to me and force them on me, maybe you should make sure you're living up to them first?
so true, if this was a Dem the GOP/chri$tian right would be screaming about how the collapse of the family/gay rights/ and loss of morals in America were reflected in the VP choice.
Looks like they liked to party (as almost all teenagers do in Alaska. Otherwise, what else is there do??? ....

Yes, more scary messianic, crusade language from the Republicans.
Scary indeed....
another evangelical nutso
Really, just listen to any one of these rabid Palin defenders for 10 seconds and you quickly learn just how detached from reality these fanatics are. I heard some of them being interviewed this morning on my local public radio station. They refused to answer any questions the interviewer raised about Palin and instead charged full tilt with their talkilng points. They are cut off from all reality outside of their cult group and their cult narratives.
We have entered the age of the Soviet-style, American political ideologue.

Any word on what dr. Laura thinks of this? Come on, you want to know, I want to know, I think everybody here wants to know. Seeing that you took that fraud down once before I'm wondering if you're pursuing dr. Laura's opinion on this.
I know you and most people here know what I'm really talking about, but for the sake of those just joining us I'll explain:
"We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby," she and her husband said in their official statement. If the choice was between keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption and giving him/her a better chance at life with loving people fully prepared to be parents, fine.
That's not the case though. As the minor child of Sarah Palin, Bristol was apparently given a choice. It was not a matter of adoption at all. The official statement would've said "keep" not "have". These statements are not put out or worded lightly.
That's all.
I think the real issue is why isn't the MSM pushing UNWED TEEN pregnancy?
think about it, two words that get the religious right into a tizzy... if they support palin, they've got to ignore the UNWED TEEN part of that pregnancy.
if they focus on the UNWED TEEN pregnancy part of the palin story... it kinda shows that 'abstinence before marriage' teaching doesn't work... and that even the steadfast chri$tian family can have pregnant teens. kinda goes against theire 'family values' morals doesn't it?
blame the media works for the GOP... BTW, in case nobody heard... john mcsame's a former POW.
IOKIYAR to the extreme.
single-parent families and teen pregnacies were supposed to be destroying America (hence, gay adoption or pregnant lesbians is a HUGE issue)... but now its NORMAL??
how do these people sleep at night?
what lib commentators need to keep the focus on is 'this is not what we want for our children so how to we prevent it'. and point out that abstinence only education results in teen pregancy and VD, statistically. We could call it the "Sarah Palin method" of birth control and sex ed.
I'll say this: Bristol's babydaddy is 'quelle stud!'
Sarah Palin: I'd do much more for a part that good!
Hmmmm, TMZ with a conscience? I doubt that. My guess is the big bad GOP party has some connections at TMZ and the article was scrubbed...typical...
Dick Army (love that name) just told Mitchell that McCain needs to stress that he will privatize Social Security during the convention. PLEASE John McCain! Take this advice!
ps: Dick Army sounds more like the lineup of speakers at the convention than the name of some former congressman.

Interesting.....
Apparently, Sarah shared a lobbiest with Jack Abramoff ( the lobbiest was the former chief of staff to Ted "series of tubes" Stevens):

I love it, every day brings another little nugget of information.
Lovin that thorough McCain vetting - what an intelligent, deliberative, sober and sensible President he will make.
how much fun is this?
how stupid is john mccain?
how stupid are john mccain's handlers?
really, really, stupid apparently.
They have the pastor on audio saying anyone who votes for John Kerry won't get into heaven.
I say watch all his sermons (cold chills just imagining that) and then force her to denounce him just like they forced Obama to do...
What's good for the Goose....
1. Apparently the abstinence only education doesn't work.
2. If Palin and daughter were just another family at the lower end of the economic ladder, nobody would lend a helping hand with this child because the religious right (Dobson, Perkins, and other men) are only concerned about fetuses and not children.
they're trying to make Bristol the pregnant UNWED TEEN off-limits... even saying thousands of American families are dealing with this everyday... so its normal now.
last week it was disgusting to the religious right, this week its normal.
and the LGBT community is somehow trying to force an 'agenda' on Americans??
oh the irony.
The downside of that is that I believe in hindsight McCain was right about Lieberman. He, not Palin, is what it would take to get the independent women to vote for him. So it's kind of a hard call.
And get this, limpballs says Obama is behind all this and probably even got some fake blogs going to catapult these horrendous stories. not kidding.
Ooops, too strong? Sorry...
John McCain threw a 17-year-old girl under the bus!
Even more shocking, Sarah Palin threw her own daughter under the bus!
Remember that this "leak" or "press release" or whatever it was occurred in the context of stories questioning the birth of Sarah's fifth child. Instead of making her doctor available or releasing medical records, they came up with this PR move.
That is exactly why this story was released by the Republicans. They are trying to use her daughter's pregnancy to prevent any discussion of Gov. Palin's radical views on sex education and abortion. The majority of voters in the US don't believe in "abstinence-only" sex education and do believe that abortion should remain legal. Positions 180 degrees from those held by Palin.
To prevent those positions from being used against her in the campaign, Republicans will scream that any attempt to ask Palin about her views on those subjects are "sexist" and "dragging the candidate's family into the campaign."
Maybe the media is finally catching on, though.
