Sep 2 2008Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant
The 17-year-old daughter of John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin (a.k.a. Governor MILFalicious) is reportedly five months pregnant. The McCain campaign revealed the news to rebut rampant rumors that Governor Palin's infant son is actually her grandson and she faked her pregnancy to protect her daughter Bristol. You seriously just read all that, and I'm now 90% positive John McCain's research involved picking this woman's name out of of a hat. Reuters reports:
The Palins, in a statement released by the McCain campaign, said Bristol "came to us with news that we as parents knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned" and that their daughter "has our unconditional love and support."
"We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates," their statement said.
Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.
I know the knee-jerk reaction will be to point out the hypocrisy of Governor Palin's faith-based public views on supporting abstinence-only education and overturning Roe v. Wade. But let's not lose sight of the real issue. Which is Sarah Palin shot a moose.

They are not called parents that is childishly redundant (or republican). They are called fools. One must assess a situation with not logic my friend, not emotion. Hoping that a young person will be able to control their hormones is a mindless assumption and is therefore ignorant.
Vote McCain. Even though he is clearly not very bright and is of no value to this country. He demonstrated that already with being one of the Keating Five and now look at his judgement call on a VP!!!!!!!!!!!
10. extracheeseplease - September 2, 2008 9:09 AM
Her daughter is a 17 year old! hold up wait a minute, this VP selection is the equivalent of Lynne Spears. 5 kids, one of them with Down's Syndrome and a pregnant teenager. Lynne spears has a retarded daughter and had a pregnant teen

12. McCain is a disgrace and not qualified - September 2, 2008 9:11 AM
Presumed Republican presidential nominee John McCain believes that Czechoslovakia is still an existent country, despite the fact that it has not been for 15 years. This makes him the type of person that one might charitably describe as a dum-dum.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Some of you are thinking: "Hell, I didn't know Czechoslovakia isn't a country anymore, either - and, darn it, I'm no dum-dum!" Well, maybe you are and maybe you aren't, but it's rather beside the point since you're not running to be the president of the United States, which is one of the most globally important jobs on the planet.

Sexuality is genetic. That's why 90% of kids in abstinence only programs have sex as teenagers. Why the stupidity of upholding anti-contraceptive views when they so easily fail?

Fuckin Republicans and their hypocrisy! It's typical of them to preach all that "morals" shit and "rightgeous living" and then they can't even get their own children to follow it.
If this would have been Barack's 17 year old daughter, they would have painted him out to be the worse person/parent alive!

The pompass f-tards on the left who bash a 17-year old's life changing situation are as stoopid (if not more so) than a pompass f-tard on the right who would bash her if it was a Dem candidate only serve up additional proof that what this country needs is a good enema.

26. jenryanc - September 2, 2008 9:30 AM
How could it be hypocritical? Gov. Palin is anti-abortion and her daughter will be having a baby. I think that it is honorable that even though Bristol's pregnancy comes at the worst time in Gov. Palin's political career, she is first fulfilling her role as a mother and supporting her daughter. Seventeen year olds make mistakes...and it shows the strength of family that she has the support that she needs. If Palin had kicked her daughter out of the house and disowned her, THEN I would call her hypocritical...

Wait...Palin is against sexual education at school...so here you go.

Funny how Sarah Palin opposes sex education for high schoolers.
Poor daughter. If only her mom had let learn about birth control, this could be avoided.
30. Ted Kennedy's tumor - September 2, 2008 9:35 AM
At least she is not going to murder her unborn child as most libs would do and will keep the child. From what I hear, she and the boyfriend will get married. So that will be one less single mother in the world.
I am no Obama fan at all, but he did a classy thing by saying that it is a matter between the parents and shouldn't be the topic of our polotics.

Haha, a 17 year old marrying the father of her unborn child. "So that will be one less single mother in the world." For about ...I give them 18months...and then she will be "One less married woman with a faithful husband and a great marriage".
Come on, you do not think this works, do you?

34. Desert Rat - September 2, 2008 9:47 AM
Hey, ya know, maybe if Sarah Palin and/or her husband spent more time at home being involved in their 5 childrens lives, and less time promoting themselves, their careers, and shooting mooses (meece?), young Bristol might not have made this mistake. Or more to the point, wouldn 't have had the opportunity.
At any rate, I think it is perfectly valid to judge parents by their children, as they are primarily responsible for shaping their characters. In this case, young Bristol demonstrated that she totally does not respect any of the 'values' her parents espouse.
I guess it just goes to show that people are sexual creatures, and our mounting hysteria over under-age sex, birth control, abortion, etc. just highlight how completely dysfunctional our culture has become.

#12 Osama/Obama thinks that there are 57 states in the US, which is clearly less informed than thinking that Czech is still a nation. Last I checked, he was running for the president of the US, I think you need to understand the breadth of the land you intend to lead before grasping nuances of other countries.

Everyone goes all ape shit if someone is not for abortion. YOu should thank your mother she didn't abort you.
There are girls who have babies young all over the world. Heck your mom was probably 17 when she had you.
So wow....we call her a hyprocrite because she doesn't want to MURDER her child. Wow. So full of love and morals we are.
Whatever. Go have unprotected sex and then go run out and kill your baby because you're a coward. GO MURDER! YYYAAY!

40. Obama'saracisist - September 2, 2008 10:02 AM
Sarah is not for teenage pregnancy, just the government shoving their ideas and condems down people's throats. Parents should educate their own children on sex. Doesn't mean teens won't get pregnant either way. The left wingers just encourage their kids to kill their babies.
Why was Chelsea Clinton off limits, but this girl is not?
The haters are sweating. If she is so "imcompetent", you should be thrilled with this choice.
By the way, Obama's parents were never married. No one has said a word about that.

Everyone rags on Sarah because she only has 2 years of experience as a governor. Well wake up, Obama was only a SENATOR, he's never even been a governer.
He stands to socialize a nation. Do you guys even know what that means? I swear it's like you idiots prided yourself on ignorance.
A young girl gets pregnant and has her baby? How is that hypocritical? Do you even know what hypocritical is?? Hypocritical would be this...her daughter has an the baby and then kicks her out of the house or doesn't love and support her....that is HYPOCRISY.
You people are so uneducated. I'm not saying McCain is the best pres. electorate....but damn...
Like we needed TWO MORE old fogie geezers to get up in the White House and drive our country more into the ground. So what if there is a president up for election.
Men you hate on this all you want...I'm sure Sarah won't have stained pant suits because she gets it on with some intern and can't discipline herself and embarrass not only her family but a nation.
Get a grip you whimps and stop applauding people who kill their children and have the balls to not abort them.
Seriously. I'm sure you're on you're on your way to WalMart to buy some of you Obama signs because someone in China probably made it while being whipped with stick while their fingers lay bleeding at factory....you know...because you're not a hyprocrite or anything.
Our nation is weird.

#53, not everyone is in a position where they can speak to their parents about things like that. Not everyones parents have the extensive information that teens need to make those types of decisions. Information like that should be standardized. We wouldn't let everyones parents teach them calculus, right?

Yeah, Jamie Lynn Spears gets knocked up and her show goes through the roof on Nickelodeon! This should do the same to you asswad people out there that think it is great! How much did she get for the pictures? Millions?
It's a shame that her 17 year old is pregnant, but, look at Bill Clinton's brother the retard that pisses on buildings. Don't forget Cheney's lesbian sister... No family is perfect, not even yours.
I'm still voting for the Milf. The dude that knocked up the daughter was probably just trying to get at her mom anyway.
56. Sam - September 2, 2008 10:52 AM
The specifics are irrelevant. McCain picked a VP who will generate distracting stories all the way up to the election (the "troopergate" investigation is scheduled to wrap up and report just a couple of days before the election). For this reason, Palin is the better than any other choice for McCain's VP - for the Democrats. They can't believe their extraordinary good luck.
57. Duke Nukem - September 2, 2008 10:54 AM

Check it out:
Bristol Palin's fiancee and baby dad is this hockey player, Levi Johnston.
Levi has a sister. Levi's sister has a myspace. Yes, it's been set to PRIVATE as of yesterday, but the pages/photos were copied.
What's interesting there? Well in May of 2008, Levi's sister is referring to Gov. Palin as her "mother-in-law" on the page. She's calling Bristol "family" in another photo. We know from the NY Daily News that Bristol and Levi told friends in January 2008 that they were engaged. So what are we to make of Levi's sisters photos and captions? That the first baby (Trig) actually IS Levi's and Bristol's?
After all, in another photo from May 2008, Levi's sister calls Trig "her little brother."
http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/
and shots from the myspace:

Note how thin Gov. Palin was looking for someone who gave birth fewer than four weeks earlier than the photo.
Good stuff!

62. SmokingGirl - September 2, 2008 10:59 AM
To be quite frank, schools should not be teaching sex-education. Rod A into Slot B is NOT sexual education.
Parents are to be the teachers of their children when it comes to sex, morality, values, and so on and so forth, not the schools. The school based sex-ed is pure mechanics and it does not fully encompass the whole of sexuality/sex.
Instead of people bitching about how schools should teach sex-ed, perhaps they should be bitching about parents passing the buck and assuming the state will teach their children about what they themselves are too embarassed to discuss. Bitch about the REAL issue; parents need to do their job.
And when it comes to Roe vs. Wade, it should be overturned. The Court does not make law nor should it presume to. The individual states and it's peoples should vote on the abortion issue, and once Roe vs. Wade is overturned and it is either passed as law in the House and Senate, or the individual states vote, then abortion will no longer be an issue.
Be logical people and stop with the knee-jerk emotional reactions. When there is emotions involved, then logic and reason go out the window.

A teenage daughter gets pregnant when the parents are busy with concerns other than parenting. Look at Palin's choice right now - a newborn (with special needs, no less) who will get nearly ZERO attention from his mom, because she's too busy pursuing her career. You'd think we were talking about the Democrats - except, if you compare President Clinton's daughter to President Bush's daughters, again you get the party girls on the Republican side. If you want to hook up with sluts, just find the daughters of prominent Republican politicians. Nice fucking "family values."

1) Where is Osama ben Laden after your retard war-time pres. promised he would not rest until he found him? (Didn't he way something like do does not really think about it much 6 months later?)
2) How's the economy and how far into debt are we?
3)Wasn't McCain one of the Keating Five Criminals "exonerated"?
4)Do you think it is wise for us to be entrenched in two terribly costly wars that have thrown us in deep deep debt and then threaten Iran and now Russia?
5) How would we feel if Russian installed a missile defense shield say on the northern border of mexico to guard against cuba?
6) Why does Iran not have the right to nuclear energy when Israel has 20-40 nukes (Germany has a population of 80 million and has 0).
7) Why do we consider fetuses sacred and abhor birth control yet promote wars and murder of young children including our own soldiers (well the poor of course, sorry) all over the globe?
8) How is sex education a bad thing?
9) Why do republicans now defend Palin who obviously failed as a mother by having a high school student daughter pregnant? (Disgraceful, why is she having sex when her own mother preaches abstinence)
10) How are we ever going to pay off this debt?
71. Deva - September 2, 2008 11:14 AM
McCain picked this broad because she's a woman. Plain and simple. He saw how popular Hillary Clinton was and THOUGHT he could capitolize on the woman vote. Wrong move picking someone based on the pure fact she has a vagina. Even worse move is picking a woman who has a whore for a daughter.
Isn't it funny when a wrong choice (picking of running mate, finding out her daughter is a slut) sinks your chances for the presidency?
I think it's fucking hilarious. McCain thought he had the whole country fooled and this smacked him right in the balls.
NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop thinking that because dems support pro choice that we want every fucking baby dead within a week. Get more educated will ya?
Its sad that her own mother after giving birth to a handicapped baby went to work after 3 days! How come you guys arent bitching about that? YOu need well more than 3 days to bond and care for a baby before passing it on to a nanny or relative.
This chick opposes sex ed in school and her daughter winds up preggers - that is a great form of irony - and one that shows this gal will not and can not learn from her mistakes.

The Republicans have gone downhill according to their standards. McCain had an affair with his current wife while being married to his first wife. Now Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant and not married. Democrats understand people are human and make mistakes, but the Republicans have always tried to act righteous. If these were Democrats then the Republicans would make a huge campaign over their mistakes. I make a good salary because I chose a reliable career, but I have sympathy for the blue collar workers that have lost their jobs overseas. Vote Democrat so that we can fix Bushes mess once and for all.

I'm laughing so hard now. Don't you psycho right wingers get it? Palin is Bree Van de Kamp from Desperate Housewives. She's put all her energy into maintaining an outward appearance of flawless conservative values, but inside her family it's a psycho ward. Who says her daughter is 5 months pregnant, and not, say, 3 months, or 2 months? Who says this is her first pregnancy? There's still plenty of information out there suggesting that Palin's youngest, Trig, is not her own son. McCain picked Bree Van de Kamp, and because she so desperately wants to believe her own facade, she accepted. Now he's stuck with what will go down in history as one of the most entertainingly fatal choices of a VP.

@ Desert Rat: which is it? Humans are sexual beings or Palin doesn't know how to raise a kid? your statement is a contradiction
@ Cindy-Chelsea was and is butt-fucking ugly....I don't know one guy who would fuck her w/ your dick and Superficial writer pushing. The Bush twins got busted underage drinking, which I'm guessing 95% of the people that visit this site have run in to....they weren't out banging guys or....interns, like Clinton did. And here's a question: how many sluts in the adult industry vote for democrats? I'd say at least 99%

"it is jointly the responsibility of BOTH parents to ensure a child is cared for."
Fuck you. Conservative social-values religious nutjobs spend 23.99 hours per day talking about the importance of traditional roles (traditional mother and traditional father), and how they're derived from God's own word. Then something like this comes along, and because they want Obama to lose, suddenly they start talking like San Francisco liberals.
You're fooling nobody.

you left out JOhn Mccain,, Newt Gingrich ( yeah can you believe he found someone to fuck?!) god I am sure a whole score of them all banged interns or screwed around on their wives and still held a bible in their hand and screamed IMPEACH CLINTON!
And drunk and partying goes hand to hadn wtih screweing and and fuckin.
YOu are indeed blind to the fact that all they did was drink - but then you MUST have been there and saw it all yourself right? Two faced asshole is what you are, Scream about the dems and their infidelities but what about COKE head Bush? how many dui's he have with a family member in the car?
But thats ok! cause he didnt sleep around on Laura did he? well not that you know FOR SURE,

The more conservative the parents, the more slutty the daughters. Kids will see through the lies and hypocrisy. Besides, what the fukc else are you gonna do in alaska besides get your nut on.
A few other things: the plural of moose is moose, promoting abstinence only sexual education when your 17 year old unwed daughter is pregnant and likely has already had a child is hypocritical, firing your director of public safety because he wouldn't fire your ex-brother in law shows poor character.
89. Wendy - September 2, 2008 11:42 AM
"the father is absolutely responsible for caring for a child. what about that thought makes you angry?"
Wrong again, sweetie. What conservatives say all day long - except right now, with the Palin situation - is that the father is responsible for being the head of the family: earning the money, making decisions, laying down discipline. The actual "caring for a child" part - changing diapers, drying tears, hugs - is the mother's role. I've heard it plenty of times in church and so have you. Stop lying.
90. Pat - September 2, 2008 11:47 AM
Palin simply reveals the single-issue fanaticism of the anti-abortion crowd. Palin could get on stage at the RNC and roast her retarded newborn at the spit, then peel off strips of him and eat it with barbecue sauce while she gives her acceptance speech, and the anti-abortion psychos would still support her - exclusively because she (or...somebody...) gave birth. McCain got his far-right support by choosing Palin, and in the process lost all of his independent voters, for a huge net loss. Game over.
91. peggy-o - September 2, 2008 11:49 AM

my husband and i are mutually responsible for our children.
i don't know what church you belong to or why you would listen to garbage like that in the first place. i don't need instructions from a church or a political group to know that my children need both of us.

"i don't know what church you belong to"
What I wrote can be heard on Sundays at any number of conservative Christian churches around the country, especially those that are active in politics within the Republican Party. Hypocrisy makes me angry. Right now, Republicans (the party of Mark Foley, chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children) are setting new records for hypocrisy. Suddenly they have a very feminist view of a man's proper role in society (as a snuggly-wearing diaperbag-toting househusband) and a very sexually liberated view of the factors that lead to teen pregnancy (certainly NOT lack of parental involvement, discipline, and values...suddenly).
If Palin were Obama's VP choice, all you would hear is how liberal Democrats are destroying American culture by promoting promiscuity. That's the truth and you know it.

98. Big Joe - September 2, 2008 12:14 PM
shelliebelli...I'm guessing your moniker is for your fat liberal gut. Bush came out told the whold world about his partying ways...at least he didn't kill a girl in a drunk driving accident ala Ted Kennedy. And here's where it gets interesting...McCain's first wife actually cheated on him while he was Vietnam...they seperated when he returned and he started seeing Cindy. Stop reading the dailykos and actually do some research of your own...I know this is the way of the left...news regurgitation. Yes, Newt cheated on his wife, but he wasn't running for the #1 job in the land and he wasn't the President at the time, like Clinton was when he buttfucked Lewinsky (in the FBI report). As far as the Bush girls go, no, I wasn't there, but neither were you and now you're just speculating and being a bitch-face liberal. Or are you saying when you drink you fuck somebody every time? That, bitch-face, is being a slut, or whore. But I'm guessing your probably as attractive as Janet Reno and therefore blog about the pretty girls so you can make your liberal, fat, ugly, no dick getting self feel better. Now, I am pro life unless the mother's life is at risk and I think your mother should have aborted you so she wouldn't have to go through life w/ a ass-face daughter. Oh, and go fuck yourself, you worthless piece of liberal shit
99. Melissa - September 2, 2008 12:14 PM

100. Ron - September 2, 2008 12:15 PM
Palin needs to look in a mirror and for once in her life, ignore how her hair and makeup look. She needs to look herself in the eye and ask if she's helping or hurting her family, her country, and her political party. Again - for once in her life - ask in that order of priority.
I'm a "religious conservative" and I'm disgusted with my supposed fellow believers. They appear to be willing to embrace anyone who will promote their most zealous issue: outlawing abortion. The single most important societal issue right now, because of the selfish baby-boomers, is restoring the ideal of parents willingly sacrificing themselves to make the lives of their children better. This is the first American generation with LOWER educational levels, LOWER achievement scores, and LOWER levels of income than their (selfish) parents. All important issues require sacrifices to resolve, and we will get nowhere as long as parents turn over their kids to nannies and their teens to cars and cellphones, instead of doing the hard work of parenting.
Palin's daughter is showing how her mom has failed, and she continues to make me-first choices. If her infant could talk, do you really think he'd say "oh sure, daddy's just as good, I don't care if I don't see mommy for weeks and weeks"? If Palin wants to stand for anything, she needs to begin making right choices right now.
101. Andrea - September 2, 2008 12:23 PM
Palin needs to tearfully announce that as much as she loves her country and wants to serve, she cannot bear to be apart from her newborn son. Then go on to tearfully describe all the challenges he'll face as a special needs child, and how she's always be there for him, not from a distance, but right at his side.
Christ, I'm almost in tears already from that drivel. It would work like a fucking charm, especially if the hardball Republican operatives then launch a full-scale attack on the "character assassination mentality" of "the liberal media." If McCain can cry (it's hard to imagine) he needs to shed a few tears about Palin and her son (NOT her daughter) in the preamble to his announcement of his new NOT COMPLETELY FUCKED UP choice for VP.
Do it today, Johnny boy, or you have no chance.

103. Ignio - September 2, 2008 12:29 PM
McCain is going to stick with Palin out of pure stubbornness. He's that type of guy - "maverick" in his case = impulsive plus stubborn. Ironically, sticking with Palin will make him look exactly like Bush, unwilling to admit to even a single mistake while making a bunch of them, obviously. Palin won't sink Bush, not directly. But he'll show a side no independent voter wants to see: he's wrong, obviously, and he refuses to admit it and correct his mistakes. After 8 years of being held hostage by Bush, independent voters won't put up with somebody like that again.

They scream PRO-choice, but when a teenager chooses life, she becomes a whore and her mother is a horrible.
They would kill an unborn child without a thought, yet deathrow inmates deserve to live.
Let's face the only thing you liberals have in common, is that you AREN'T republicans. That's the only bond you have, other than being a collection of degenerates, socialists/communists, gays/lesbos, pot heads, and baby killers.

How is it hypocritical for her to teach her children what she believes is right? Children are their own people and make their own decisions, she's a failure because she didn't "control" her daughter? I think the fact that she is embracing her daughter and her baby despite the choices she made shows that she is an excellent mother. Not to mention keeping the baby--because she's pro-life. Where's the hypocrisy again?

Plenty of people don't want to vote for Obama for a wide variety of reasons, from legit (he has no qualifying experience to be president) to depressing (all the racists), and all McCain had to do was keep up his steady sniper attacks. Instead, he got bored and went for a look at me, I'm a maverick! moment, and shot himself in the foot. Now I'm starting to wonder if he intentionally flew into that North Vietnamese anti-aircraft fire...

Palin looks like she's the mother(lode) of all 24-hour-news/internet controversies. Very juicy stuff. Now there's not really going to be a presidential campaign. Instead it'll be weeks of "stories" broken first by the National Enquirer.
Too bad, we really needed a good look at where we are as a country and where we need to go. Ain't gonna happen. In all seriousness, I really do wonder exactly what Obama will do as President. There's no way of knowing. What he'll do, I mean - not that he'll be President. Unless McCain very skillfully dumps Palin and substitutes an experienced conservative heavyweight, he has no chance at all. Too bad - in a way, he was the perfect foil for Obama: wealth of experience and service to his country, bumbling speaker with flashes of honest anger and irritation with all the bs of politics, extremely likable. He could have won.

118. vanessa - September 2, 2008 1:02 PM
Palin's pregnant daughter just proves how wrong her views on sexual education are. And if she can't get her own daughter to abide by her beliefs, how can she get the country at large to do so?
That's why the issue is important and should be discussed.
Vote for democracy, not idiocracy!

Grandma says: "Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family."
Well isn't that special. "Abstinence only" didn't work for these kids but thank God they've got family to stand behind them. What if you are 17 and don't have a family to support you? Or what if your father is the one who got you pregnant? Or what if you are a crack whore living on the street?
For a pregnant teen, Bristol is LUCKY. She's got health, family, insurance, a boyfriend who will stand behind her. Many, many pregnant teens don't have the circumstances that will allow them to make the choice Bristol is making!
Palin makes me literally sick to my stomach. She is so represenatitive of the fanatic rights' view of "look at my, my life is working, I can handle any problem, everyone should do as I do." My God.

Shouldn't she be at home taking care of her special needs baby. The fact that this lady's water broke and she proceeded on taking a 7+ (iirc) hour flight back to Alaska while "in labor" reaaally makes me wonder about her judgment in general. I know all of this doesn't relate to her qualifications as VP but we need to think of it more of the lines of her qualifications to be president (cuz McCain is a zombie) and her ability to dedicate the time to it and not her pregnant daughter and special needs baby.

Oh, and what about your fag governor from New Jersey who was cheating on his wife w/ a guy? How 'bout Spitzer w/ a hooker and the new governor of NY, both he and his wife cheated on one another? Moonchild...nice "40 yr old virgin" quote...try being original, like, go fuck yourself w/ your mother's strap-on. To John- w/o hunting, those cute little animals would tear up farm land, car/animal accidents would sky rocket and as a whole, each animal and every animal would die do to "over-crowding" in their habitat.

I agree with you. There would be a story here if Palin had taken her daughter to have an abortion. THAT would have been hypocritical and against her claimed conservative values.
Most families in America has been touched by this kind of issue in one way or another. And, um... Obama's mom was 18 and unwed when he was born. Where does that put you lib idiots' arguments?
I'm starting to think that we need a tool to screen out geniuses who make their political decisions based on what Diddy says on effing youtube. Morons like that would be doing their civic duty to stay home, watch Mtv and not ever procreate.

All of you are missing why she's a hypocrite. This has nothing to do with abortion. She is a vehement promoter of abstinence only but couldn't even reaise her children to follow her. THAT is the hypocrisy. Great, she's keeping the kid, woohoo. She's lucky, she has loaded parents and won't have to put the child up or abort it. That is not always the case for other women. Palin's mere existence in politics is a slap in the face to all the woman who fought and died for her right to be a Governor in the first place!
138. Shep - September 2, 2008 1:59 PM
Only the Republicans could screw up something so easy as to pick a VP out of a substantial list of qualified candidates. The scary part is the amount of Americans that will still vote for McCain after 8 years of Bush and after this madness. It takes a special kind of people I guess.......... the illiterate, beer drinking, nascar watching, racist, car parts on your front lawn kind. Is anybody else feeling like seeing the star spangled banner. I know I sure am.
P.S I'd like to apologize to the 20-30 percent of Americans that aren't like this. Keep fighting the good fight guys and keep being pissed that your president can pronounce simple words correctly.

It's a shame that your unwed mother doesn't know who your father is!

you too have outed yourself, as a redneck republican your mother knows your father is he's her brother. get over yourself.
151. JoshA - September 2, 2008 3:30 PM
I feel bad for the daughter and her BF. This sucks for them. I know they are responsible for their actions, but I doubt that either of them thought that they whole national media might talk about it---there was no reason to expect Palin to be VP 5 months ago.
I'm a bit surprised Palin would accept the slot knowing about this. She had to know the media scrutiny of the kids was coming, after watching Chelsea Clinton the Bush twins.
Hopefully, though, everyone can just leave the daughter and her BF alone. The Republicans can stop pretending that they suddenly think unwed teenage pregnancy is family values personified, and everyone else can focus on whether Sarah Palin is up to the task of being VP, and leave her daughter out of it.
152. cyelsm - September 2, 2008 3:40 PM
To #136 Obama's mother was married to his father dumb ass if you checked your facts you would have known the divorced after he was born. Even though your parents marriage was illegal (incense).

# 95 hey show me an article that it says the liberals said it was ok that Edwards adandoned his children with his wife being near death.
again stop putting words in a dems mouth thanks!
154. Falena - September 2, 2008 3:46 PM
McCain knew exactly what he was doing.
Using the fundamentalists cult to gain power for the rich and greedy.
Old story, new script.
Wake up America,,!
No Bizarro Mom for VP!
What kind of Mother would rat on her daughter publicly to prove her own defense?
There are other ways you know.
Nah, this was all planned..US is feeding out their dirty republican hands.
Dems walk eggshells to keep the fundamentalists from turning into a hornets nest.
She should be laughed out of public, never taken one bit seriously.
155. Lux - September 2, 2008 3:48 PM
Some republicans here state their point in a calm, civilized, polite manner.
But most of them just go "fuck you you fuckin fuck you're poor sucks to be you fuck off and die fuck poor people kill em all".
Wow. Impressive.

Comrades, the ones calling Palin's daughter a whore, don't you see similarities with Obama's mom? Is she a slut too? And your American Idol is a fucking bastard too? His mom never married Hussein Senior.
Talking about family values. Does Junior know about his half bro from Kenia?

it was a question-where was the outcry regarding edwards seeking to take the most challenging job in the world with a dying wife and young children.
it's a valid question
165. Clillary Hinton - September 2, 2008 4:22 PM

167. Questions for Spineless Republicans (I dare you to answer) - September 2, 2008 4:50 PM
1) Where is Osama ben Laden after your retard war-time pres. promised he would not rest until he found him? (Didn't he way something like do does not really think about it much 6 months later?)
2) How's the economy and how far into debt are we?
3)Wasn't McCain one of the Keating Five Criminals "exonerated"?
4)Do you think it is wise for us to be entrenched in two terribly costly wars that have thrown us in deep deep debt and then threaten Iran and now Russia?
5) How would we feel if Russian installed a missile defense shield say on the northern border of mexico to guard against cuba?
6) Why does Iran not have the right to nuclear energy when Israel has 20-40 nukes (Germany has a population of 80 million and has 0).
7) Why do we consider fetuses sacred and abhor birth control yet promote wars and murder of young children including our own soldiers (well the poor of course, sorry) all over the globe?
8) How is sex education a bad thing?
9) Why do republicans now defend Palin who obviously failed as a mother by having a high school student daughter pregnant? (Disgraceful, why is she having sex when her own mother preaches abstinence)
10) How are we ever going to pay off this debt?
168. shellibelli - September 2, 2008 5:07 PM
again Reps being so conservative and so relgious are the most abusive ones to post here to date.
Let me just say I dont care who has sex with who or how many t imes while in any kind of office. What I do mind is that the ones who run on "family values" platforms and Holier than Thou attitudes want to impeach someone who did have an affair when they themselves are keeping hookers or a mistress on the side.
Lets not forget Mark Foley going after underage boy( and was never charged!) but I guess since he was Pro Life that makes it all ok. I am sure he picked up that bible and promptly hid behind it when he was caught, and ran to rehab with it.
Big Joe you deserve whatever nasty mean thing that may happen in your life - though by your attitude Id assume its already happened. I assume by your moniker you were going for something funny or obscene or maybe its the name you gave your favorite vaginal wart on one of the hookers you have chained up in your basement right now. You just ask Jesus for forgivness and Praise the lord it shall be!
Right Fury leave that cult that you are in now! Pronto! and itf my twice posting is the worse thing that you can say then I am ok for today!
and if either of you want any of your posts to be taken seriously then please line them with facts, it also helps if you actually debate someones post rather than just scream baby killer baby killer!
You hate abortions and hate anyone who supports Pro Choice, you scream baby killer! baby killer! to anyone who posts anything Pro Choice. yet you both support and stand behind Bush and his lying administration?
They lied to take us to war and how many US soldiers were killed? or civilians? What does that make you two? Should I call you guys soldier killers?
Does it make it ok cause Bush ex-coke head is anti abortion? is this the theme you guys care for? HE lied, its been proven! he did drugs! he had dui's ! his administration tortured our prisoners as well. The list goes on and on. he is a fucking embarressment.
Reps have twisted logic, you dont believe in abortions, most dont believe in birth control, or sex education in school. SO you get underage preganancies like Bristol Palin and ingore the fact that where the fuck were upstanding parents at when she was bonking her BF? plus she was obvioulsy lying to her parents when about the bonking as well.
you reps are so two faced, so double standard and this is why you get mad! I am just saying. I know it happens on both sides and Its funny as well. and you get so fucking mad and abusive when you are faced with the truth.
So you gloss over fact based comments and thorw in shit thats starts with "they" or "you people" so obvious to lump everyone that doesnt share your opinions.
and to be fair I am well aware unlike you guys my party has its faults, I am still shocked that kennedy got a standing ovation at the DNC the other night because of his past and the drowning of his assistent. Unlike you Big Joe I am sure more happened behind the scenes than what was reported and I am "willing" to agree that since we werent there it was most likely worse then what was reported anyway. BUt you live in that dream world of yours anyway I like you best there.
The next time a family values rep gets caught with a hooker, a child, or a gay - I am going to think of you two zeolots. big Joe and Right fury, going to laugh when they run to rehab for some addiction with their bible. Screaming pro life all the way!!
169. Right Fury - September 2, 2008 5:17 PM
@ LUX
I'm laughing at your dumb post because you made the statement:
"Some republicans here state their point in a calm, civilized, polite manner.
But most of them just go "fuck you you fuckin fuck you're poor sucks to be you fuck off and die fuck poor people kill em all". "
How BLATANTLY biased is that you retard. Look at ALL the posts! There's demoncrats calling people whores and all sorts of derogatory names. Did you miss those? Aren't you democrats supposed to love everyone regardless? Where's the Love guys? Where is the Love?
You watch too much CNN.
BTW if every woman that got knocked up out of wedlock suddenly lost their voter reg. card, the Libs would NEVER win an election.
Oh and when I say you guys, I mean just you LUX. You're cracking me up.
170. Right Fury - September 2, 2008 5:28 PM
@ shelli
I'm not mad!!! LOL I'm laughing at you. You are hilarious! I cannot believe you would think that I think the Reps have no faults.
Fact: Obama is friends with a domestic terrorist
Fact: Obama's spiritual mentor whom he wrote about in his book is a racist and america hater.
Fact: Obama will raise taxes.
Sure, McCain sucks and he's a lefty. But he ISN'T Obama. Period.
171. twzzlrgirl - September 2, 2008 5:34 PM
I take exception with everyone saying that the Republicans think having a baby is such a blessing, they wouldn't kill they're baby, blah, blah, blah. Ok, so the woman had her five kids...and then does what? Goes out and leaves them while she pursues and extremely complicated, time consuming career.
Any moron can HAVE a baby...it takes someone who really cares to raise it right and care for it; and it takes patience and hard work to pass on true family values. A village, be damned...it takes a parent to raise a child, and clearly these two haven't been around their kids nearly enough.
172. Whatev - September 2, 2008 5:37 PM

Okay, first of all Palin is against teaching kids about condoms, birthcontrol and other base subjects about safe sex. She is not saying sexual education should not be taught in school. She is just saying her religious views of sexual education should be taugh in school. Which is no sex before marriage. Now if these are her views and she had taught them to her daughter, why did she go out and have sex before marriage? Really, if she had taught her daughter about proper birthcontrol, she MIGHT not be in this situation. Also, referring to the underpaid people who teach our future generations as "pedophiles" is a very tastless way to try (in anger) to make your point valid. Oh and this, by the way, does make her a hypocrite because if she can not teach her own daughter about safe sex, who is she to tell us how ours should be taught?
173. Questions for spineless Democrats (reply to 167) - September 2, 2008 5:38 PM
In reply to #167:
1.) Where was Osama Bin Ladin when your retarded horn-dog pres was in office and our embassies in Africa were getting bombed, our servicemen were getting bombed in their barracks in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and the WTC got bombed the FIRST time?
2.) Has the Federal government EVER babysat idiot homeowners expecting to flip their homes off of floating interest rate mortgages just by installing granite, track lighting & sub-zeros?
3.) Why do you think burned-out middle age loser teachers would be a better instructor on sex ed than a child's parents would?
4.) Ever heard of the KGB? Ever heard Putin had more than a summer internship there? They never covered that in TNR?
5.) Why should we trust Iran to have nuclear weapons, especially when they call on the eradication of ALL of us as the "greatest Satan"?
6.) Do you realize Germany has 0 nukes because, when they were necessary during the Cold War, it was US nukes stationed there? Have you HEARD of the Cold War?
7.) Why is Palin any worse than your own mother, who raised someone who can't handle the reality of the world?
And finally, from Obama's campaign page:
"Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families:Barack Obama will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits..."
The question: is Obama planning on doing away with Congress? Because according to the Constitution, THEY'RE the ones who enact taxes. Maybe someone should tell him...

dear For the last time I am not an Obama supporter. I am a dem, but I have never voted for him and he isnt the one I wanted in office.
I do think he is the lesser of 2 evils, but I am still not even sure if I will even vote at all this year - before peeps start calling me a PUMA - its not because Hillary didnt win.
I have yet to see what Obama can or will do if in office, all I have seen thus far is half of hollywood is behind him. and he sure seems nice but I dont want a nice family values type pres( either dem or rep) in office anyway. I want someone who will get shit done.
So yeah I am not liking the Mccain vp pick either.

182. lloyd johnson - September 2, 2008 7:49 PM
Right wingers please stop insinuating all PRO-CHOICE people are for abortion. Every post that mentions abortion is by a pro-conservative moron. They automatically decide the opposing side wants to kill babies. Its like arguing with an idiot, when they see they're wrong, they keep changing the subject to an area that they have more fuel. Pro-choice means let the f'ing parents decide. Not you or me, them.
Its funny that the same people who condem minorities and their parents for making babies as teenagers are saying that its fine in this case. Republicans are looking as stupid and confused as the Dems were a few years ago. I wonder if this were Obama's daughter, would they say its a personal matter and "off limits"? I bet they'd have commercials by now.
This woman has presided over less people than most of you have in student government. Everyday when we are confronted with youths behaving badly we almost always attribute the behaviour to poor parenting. Why is this case different? Pretty, white, conservative women can do no wrong. Thats why.
McCain is nuts. He makes Bush look not-so-bad. If he can't manage his own property (7 houses) how in hell can he manage this entire country? Maybe if he wins he'll forget about NJ and I can skip paying taxes for a few years...

Fun-facts about Sarah Palin (for those of you who think she will be "fabulous")
Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:
* She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage of 9000 people! She has no foreign policy experience.
* Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.
* She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000.
* Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.
* She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.
* She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.
* How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.

Why is this news? SO FUCKING WHAT! You are letting the media and the dems (who are now scared shitless by this woman) distract from the real issues. They have to hatchet her daughter because they got NOTHING on her. I'm laughing with every story that they try to sell. It's ludicous.
Here's the scope of the massive dirt in the Palin past:
1. Her 17 yo daughter is pregnant
2. Her husband, 20 years ago and 2 years before they were married got a DUI
3. She may have had influence in the firing of a State Trooper.
???? ARE U SERIAL???
183 ? I don't even understand your argument. I think you're mental.
182 . They changed the name to "Pro CHoice" from "Pro Abortion" years ago because it sounded nicer. Go sell crazy somewhere else. ProChoice = Pro Abortion.

190. justjess - September 2, 2008 8:53 PM
There is always this mass hysteria around abortion - but let us just face facts. Abortion in the form of Roe vs. Wade exists because rich women have never had a problem with abortion - poor women did. Do making it kosher gives them the right to...
...
...
...
...wait for better circumstances - until they think they may be READY for a child.
In the words of George Carlin - "not every ejaculationndeserves a name". 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage - are all those women murderers?? People are ludicrious - and an unborn child is so - when he/she can live outside the womb - before then it is a fetus - and it should be a mother choice to decide if she can support it. Because there is nothing worst than having to take care of a child that you simply can't or don;t want to. If you don;t believe me - ask 80% of the prison population.
