I personally do NOT care if Palin's teenage daughter is pregnant. I agree with Obama that that is a family matter and shouldn't be part of our politics.

HOWEVER, the main question is NOT about Palin but about John McCain. Did McCain thoroughly vet Palin? This relevation as well as others (she is part of Alaska fringe group, she was for the bridge to no where before she was against it, she was instrumental in running Ted Stevens 527s, etc).

This is more about McCain's JUDGEMENT on choosing someone who isn't fully vetted AND who has very little experience particularly foreign policy experience.

McCain is 72 years old with many bouts of cancer. It is obvious to me that McCain has FAILED his first presidential duty which is pick a vice president who can start the job as president on day #1.

last line is absolutely right... it goes to show what thugs the republicans really are.

scrutinize the other person beittle mame destroy... dig deeper and get more dirt then you could ever bring up...

but if its the repubs getting the attention its.... off limits, its not a good idea to bring it up...

it shows what values democrats have... we know people are human and F up and we dont want to exploit someone for human faults.

lol its lame, i think we should grow a few pairs, but i must say i do it too.

i think we are hte party of values

Is McCain thinking with the right head?

Face It: They Didn't Vet Her

Earlier I noted Andrea Mitchell's reference to reports that the McCain camp had just sent a team of GOP lawyers up to Alaska to do what I guess you'd call a post-vetting of Sarah Palin. Now George Stephanopoulos appears to have more. George says the McCainers are sending a "rapid response team of about ten operatives that includes lawyers" to do the aforementioned deeper vet. A lot of attention is being given to Gov. Palin's daughter's situation. The much bigger deal is the expanding trooper-gate investigation, the fact that Palin lied in her Friday speech about her purported opposition to the Bridge to Nowhere, her apparent former membership in the secessionist Alaska Independence Party, and more. Individually, you can come to your own judgment about how consequential these stories are. What they show pretty clearly now -- in addition to the news that the McCain campaign is only now sending in a vetting team -- is that John McCain didn't do any serious vetting of Palin before he invited her to join his ticket and, he hopes, become Vice President of the United States.

Fundamentally, of course, this is about John McCain. And the real issue here is what this slapdash decision says about his judgment.

--Josh Marshall

The Palin girl's pregnancy SHOULD be off limits because it IS a private matter. They are handling it the way they see fit and they have the right to do so. What I object to is the fact that they do not want to grant other families the same right. No one, and I mean no one, is going to tell me that I do not have the right to determine what is best for me when it comes to birth control, pregnancy, or family planning. Politicians of all denominations need to stay out of our bedrooms and mind their own business.

I just think that the way the Republicians attack every little thing, all is fair and appropriate in return. Seems their abstinence policy works about as good as the rest of their values. Yeh, right....

Who cares? I would rather have a pregnant 17 year old than an empty suit who is in Rezko's backyard and Jeremiah Wright's pulpit.

"Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression." Dr. Haim Ginott.
I think Governor Palin should turn down the VP offer and take care of her family.

Obama is from the Chicago corrupt political machine. That is how he got started and continued with his political career. Some 10 to 15 fellow Chicago friends have been indicted or now seating in jail and Obama is still under investigation for his part in that as well the death of his good homo buddy, Donald Young.
Funny, he says he is with the Party of Values. LOL FOS.
It is the democrats who have their head in the sand or elswhere.

Why don't you spread your legs for Levi!
Btch!

Family values:

If you are passing judgment on Sarah Palin that her daughter got pregnant, then you are passing the same judgement on Obama's grandmother, who's daughter got pregnant out of wedlock too. Remember the grandmother, who Obama said was one of the smartest people in the world, from whom he still gets advice?

Experience:

YOu Obama people have to STOP with the foreign policy experience accusations, it doesn't fly anymore. Palin has negotiated a pipeline with Canada, bringing more energy to the US than Biden ever negoatiated in his entire career. She also manages the National Guard in Alaska, which is the first ballistic system on guard for the US for any missile attack on the US, and therefore is active 24 hours, the only one of it's kind in the US. For that, she gets special security briefing.

Do NOT attack Palin's foreign policy experience, until you are able to defend Obama's experience, which is ZERO. and yet, Obama is at the top of the ticket. Why does a VP have more foreign policy experience than the Prez? It's absurd.

McCain/Palin 2008

spin spin spin good lord. I for one do not believe McCain knew of this ahead of time and went ahead with the Palin pick over Pawlenty. McCain had no choice but to say he knew about this ahead of time other wise saying he did not know would say something about his decision making ...
that she was not properly vetted and he selected her anyway ... that he made a decision without spending the appropriate amount of due diligence ...

anyone who thinks he knew and went ahead with the Palin pick is lying to themselves ...

thank goodness for the hurricane so that the full limelight of the media was not on the RNC and allowed folks to circle the wagons and decided how they were as a group going to spin this ...

jeesh ....

Mary
Mary, You're off topic but that's what you hypicrites do! You can't add to this conversation so you lash out at Obama. He didn't know up the little slut! Why don't you go to the Christian Conservative website with you bullsht talking points!

Hello,
That is enough of hypocrisy. The Republican Party has been made of people who wanted to be the clean America that looks down on certain on some communities / people with unprivileged social backgrounds where teen pregnancy is more common . I can't imagine what we would have seen on some right wing networks if that had happened to a democrat candidate. That would have been "bad candidate, the decadence of family values, typical of the liberal bankrupt moral values, blah, blah, blah..."
Who has been putting pins like "Obama baby Mama"? You got that right: the Republican Party.
This is the party who has been preaching abstinence and no sexual education for religious reasons. I do not blame anyone for the pregnancy and certainly the young lady who is going to have a child (and probably a beautiful child, if he/she is as healthy as teen mother). But her politician grand-mother is a blatant failure, a failure in teaching proper sexual education to her daughter, promoting contraception. This mother lives in denial of what is reality. I wonder how much warning and explanation she brought to her daughter. If this type of approach fail with your own child, shouldn't it be time to reconsider this view and recognize that teaching kids sexual education will help them decide when is the right time to have a child???

decentAmerican |
Right! Let's see if Bristol makes it to Harvard!

Palin is pimping her daughter with her pro-life BS! Both she and McCain are proponets of teaching abstinence in schools. More of the do as I say, not as I due crap! Total Hypocrits! Suck It!

It's a bit amusing to hear the democrats all posting that she should stay home barefoot and pregnant. Don't bother to post an abc "news" acticle as support. Their whole site now reads like an Obama blog. But you gotta hand it to them, they sure put on an increadable 2 day smear campaign on short notice. If you can say somethink interesting, don't reply.

I remember the RULE that Chelse Clinton not be written up, quoted, even have pictures of her published that were not vetted by the White House. It has been a long standing rule to keep the kids out the public media.

Here it seems that those rules are being tossed aside.

Chelse tried to hide behind controlling the press even this year at her appearances while stumping for her mom. That was laughable. She is an ADULT not a minor and actively engaged in campaigning. This young lady is 17.

Can someone please cite and correct me if I am wrong as to the previous Clinton policy on their child and the media. This should be a rule for EITHER party and all the press or it should be open season. One must choose or admit to bias either from the left or the right.

My 2 cents.

I feel sorry for Palin's daughter being thrust into public spotlight like this. It wasn't her choice, it was her mother's. Good for Obama for taking the high road. But what hypocrits her fundamentalist supporters are to say stay out of this family's affairs! Palin is the one who would stop someone else's daughter from having an abortion, even if it was because of rape. She would stop sex education classes other than abstinence only because it's what SHE believes. (It didn't work out too well for her own daughter, did it?) She and her supporters want to shove their religious and political beliefs down everyone else's throat and condemn those that disagree. I guess they can dish it out but not take it.

Reality is this woman wants to be VP, ti think that what happens in her family doesn't matter is absurd. When has personal matters of our President or VP didn't matter?

Fine her 17 year old daughter is pregnant, happens all the time, you stick with them give, them the support they need, they grow up, become contributing adults and life goes on. So why didn't they see fit to make it known from the start? They had to know that they could not hold the information back. One more example of poor judgement.

Troopergate
Stevens 527
Alaska Independent Party
Bridge to nowhere
abuse of power when Mayor
No vetting

What is next?

The vitriole spewed on all of these blogs is absolutely insane!

Democrat, Republican, or Independant, how can you call yourself an American when you ALL stoop to such low levels debate! Be ashamed! What are we teaching our children about the American way of life and democracy?

It is a plain as the nose on your face why MCBUSH chose a woman he thinks now he will get all the Hillary votes, guess again. MCBUSH has had his nose up the texas mafia butt so long i am surprised he can breathe

The Republican Party is being held hostage by the Religious Right . This puppet has practically ruined Palin's family. If he knew that Palin's daughter was pregnant, he should have reconsidered his decision to offer her the opportunity to be his running mate. Palin would have emerged in 4 years and become a power house. As it stands, we now have America questioning her capabilities as a mother. In order for this ticket to win, she has to convince the American people that she is a great mother and not a distraction.

A lot of daughters, mothers and grandparents can relate to the Palins and their daughter in regards to this matter.

It is, after all, part of the human condition - it's called living.

PUMA!

Hang in there Sarah Palin. The media onslaught was absolutely predictable and indicates they truly fear you. Always remember that you share the stage with a candidate who is a famous plaegerist and another who participated in shady real estate deals and was a drug user. In such esteemed company, your record looks stellar.

I'm switching to McCain / Palin. They seem to have the needed change for the next 8 years, keep marriage between a man and a woman and save beautiful babies!! Go Palin Go.

averagejoe...take a quick survey, and you will see that most of the vitriol is from Obama supporters, who will seize any opportunity to attack like a herd of hyenas. A perfect example of this is the indespicable and low down rumor about Trig.....they are not satisfied attacking Palin, so they go after an innocent baby?

Atrocious, you all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Is this the "change" that Obama has instilled in you? Were you all good people once, and now your love of Obama has brought out your innermost evil? What give you the right to start false and horrific rumors about children?

You know that saying about not throwing stones? the hypocrisy of the Dems talking about family values:

A previous sitting president who committed adultery in the whitehouse.

A Dem candidate who had an affair and a child out of wedlock, while his wife has cancer.

And.....

The Dem Prez nominee with a history of drug use.

Family values? You have some nerve.....

The news here folks is McCain's and Palin's irresponsibility and lack of judgement, not Palin's daugher.

Palin has been governor of Alaska and is well qualified for managing a budget. Her results for the time she has been in public office are excellent. She has shown her ability to work within the party to get things done that benefit the people. The DNC candidates have no experience in managing a budget. The DNC presidential candidate is unqualified with little experience, and fewer results to show for his time in office than Palin. The best option is to choose a candidate who can get the job done, which is McCain/Palin 2008.

Roxanne--Is Barack and Michelle also pimping their daughters for political purposes. To me, a woman with family values and professional skills should be congratulated, not demeaned. Of course, Palin is more qualified for VP than Obama for President.
If Obama keeps taking his sort of high road, he going to drive off into the canyon. Goodbye, Obama, the hypocrite.

"Democrat, Republican, or Independant, how can you call yourself an American when you ALL stoop to such low levels debate! Be ashamed! What are we teaching our children about the American way of life and democracy?"

Just expressing our opinions, averagejoe. If you think this is vitriolic, you really don't get around much. I worry about the damage done to this country by Bush and his followers who tried to kill free speech and public dissent for the last 8 years. Remember the Dixie Chicks? They received death threats for criticizing Bush and the war in Iraq. They were practically run out of the country!! Worry about that, not this comment board.

Obama doesn't want this touched because his own Mother was 18, single and pregnant and sleeping with a married Muslum man,

dear Ron -- if you are accusing Palin of being irresponsible because Bristol is pregnant, then you are also calling Obama's grandmother irresponsible as her daughter got pregnant with Barack out of wedlock too. It is rather unfortunate that Obama is still getting advice from this "irresponsible" grandmother, isn't it? shows a profound lack of judgement, according to you.

The reason that Pollsters can't get it right is that so many people are changing their votes. I'm a Republican... no wait I'm a Democrat..... The Republicans are popular this week.... yeah but my new girlfriend is a Democrat. Maybe I can be like Lou Dobbs, Fox has the hotter chicks....Nah Republican babes don't put out. Give it a rest and get some fresh air. There are about 400 votes in b*u*m*f*u*c*k Ohio that are going to decide this election and there is nothing we can do about it.

Its a non issue and has nothing to do with the vice presidency. Obama was also referring to the vicious smear campaign to try to libel a 17 year old girl and an infant with Down's syndrown perpetuated by major main stream bloggers that support him. their actions were reprehensible. He said if anyone in his campaign was connected to it they would be fired. I hope he means that.

Too bad about Bristol Palin's pregnancy. Darn that Bill Clinton.

Go back to Alaska ansd stay there.you are a lie ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Obama's mother got pregnant before marriage at 18 and was 3 months pregnant when she got married to a muslim guy one who was married before.

Liberals never get it.

I know ABC will delete my blog

Posted by: decentAmerican | Sep 1, 2008 9:35:55 PM

=======================================

THIS IS A TOTAL LIE! Just like the rest of your points in your "posts!"

The missile defense system in Alaska has NOTHING TO DO with the National guard you liar!

That sysytem is ran by the US Air Force and is controlled entirely by the Federal Government and the Pentagon - I know this for a fact!!!

What do you think they are going to let that backwoods beauty queen Palin be responsible for controlling our national defense!!!

Are all of you Republicans just liars or what???

Palin isn't qualified to do anything with a gun besides shoot deer, fox, bears and wolves from an AIRPLANE!!!

But that is another matter....

It's time for the Republican bloggers to stop criticizing the Obama supporters. You have taken the low road for the last several months and attacked every word that has come out of Barack or Michelle Obama's mouth. Now you accuse us of being nasty. There can be no double standard. We want answers. Sarah Palin could possibly be the next VP of the US. If she was not properly vetted and has some unseemly skeletons in her closet we need to know. We also need to know about John McCain's judgement. All everyone talked about is how the VP decision is the first real presidential decision. Well, I question how and why John McCain made his decision. So Republicans, get off your high horse.

To Vickie, Obama never visited europe before last month.

Palin visited Europe before Obama.

Palin visited our troops in Germany unlike Obama.

I hate this election with every fiber in my body. The coverage sucks.

Obama is the guy who praised Hamas in 2004 but said he couldn't say it publicly.

McCain has visited Europe hundreds of times. McCain has attended a nato security conference meeting every year.

Obama has never been to south america.

So the daughter couldn't have been pregnant BEFORE because she's pregnant NOW, right?

And nobody will be allowed to see her NOW because it's private family business, right?

How long before the "current" pregnancy ends in "miscarriage"?

Any bets?

decentAmerican who only made it to Junior High. The irresponsibility on McCain's behalf is that she was not properly vetted and he should have known this was going to distract the campaign, and on Palin's part for trying to cover it up, not from us but the people of Alaska whom she represents. I know that you are trying to bring Obama's past into this, but his mother wasn't running for Vice President of the United States..... big difference.

I am floored that so many take at face value McCain's statement that he knew of this ahead of time and went ahead of with his pick ?
Folks, please ... for the sake of the country begin to think for yourselves and read between the lines and stop believing everything you read in the media.

I ask you ... if he did not know ahead of time, and this now comes out ... does that at all in your opinion reflect on McCain's ability to think and lead ?

Jason...you are wrong. Obama has been to Europe several times in his life. He also was in Iraq before. He's also been to Africa several times and actually lived in Indonesia. Stop the lies please.

Joe Biden got 5 draft deferments and that gets no news coverage.

Palin's daughter gets more coverage than Obama's draft determents.

Obama took his kids to hear Wright give out awards to Farakkan.

Obama called a baby punishment.

Is PUMA anything like the COUGARS ?

Diane you are wrong.

Obama the first time he had ever been to western europe was this last trip.

Obama had never been to france, germany, spain, italy.

Look it up Obama had never been to western europe before this latest trip. He had a stopover in 2006 but this last trip was his first trip to western europe.

Obama has never been to brussels.

McCain has been to nato security conference meetings every year for decades in brussels.

Obama until 47 had never been to western europe his whole life.

Obama made fun of Clinton visiting 80 countries saying she was sipping tea.

Diane look it up Obama had never been to western europe before. It is a fact.

I fully agree that a candidate’s private family life should stay private, especially the children’s. As a parent and a grandparent of a loving Downs child my heart goes out to the Palin family. Sarah Palin’s politics on social issues, however, are open to discussion and this has made her vulnerable. Ms. Palin would if she could use her office to define each American family’s options about birth control education, pregnancy, choice, and would insert religious instruction into public schools. Yes, religious instruction. Creationism is a conservative religious belief based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. It has no basis in science, yet Ms. Palin wants her church's dogma taught in every child’s science class. The Palin family’s decisions about deeply personal choices should private, theirs alone, not that of the Supreme Court, the Religious Right or the party in power. And so should yours.

Diane look it up Obama had never been to western europe before this trip.

Amazing the guy at the top of the ticket has never been to western eurpoe.

McCain has been to europe fifty times and goes every year to nato conferences.

McCain is an american patriot ready to be CIC. Obama is a joke.

puma are sneakers of the 1980's

Roxanne,

I made it to Harvard and if you knew anything about people at Harvard you would know that there are actually students who are unwed mothers who got pregnant as teenagers. Liz Murray got into Harvard. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard.

While you are praying at the Obama alter please light a candle for your sanity. You are obviously an Obamabot so bent on your man to win that you have failed to notice the ugly sour vomit worthy wretch you have become.

Obama is free to take the high road - McStupid is scuttling his own ship.

Never interfere with an enemy when he is destroying himself.

The vice president has no constitutional role.

Did you know that Pelosi is third in line for the presidency.

The question is do you want McCain or Obama as CIC.

The Vice President doesn't live at the white house.

The Vice President doesn't travel with the president.

The Vice President has no role.

Who would you have rather had as president George H.W Bush or Dukakis.

The question is who do you want to be CIC McCain or Obama.

*A public school teacher was arrested today at **John F. Kennedy
International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in
possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the
man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement.
He did not identify the man,
who has been charged by the FBI
with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a problem for us," the Attorney General said.

"They desire solutions by means and extremes,
and sometimes go off on
tangents in a search of absolute value.
They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns,'
but we have determined they belong to a common denominator
of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.
As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say,
'There are 3 sides to every triangle.'"

When asked to comment on the arrest, Senator Obama said,
"If God had wanted us to have better Weapons of Math Instruction,
he would have given us more fingers and toes."

John McCain has demonstrated a haphazard style of judgement that he and his cronies have coined to be the MAVERICK style.

sorry no thanks mav.

no way
no how
no mccain
no maverick
no palin

Uh, have any of you heard of Larry Sinclair and looked into all of the parishoners of Trinity church of christ who have unfortunately died since Obama announced? Hilliary's not the only one with a body count! Not that McCain's hands are clean with all of the men he and Kerry knowingly left behind to slave labor in Vietnam... (even STILL to this day American Free Press) These men are beyond despicable! Happy voting!

if i want to see a maverick on my tv screen every week. i will look at the old western channel

Obama has never been vetted.

This is a guy who lied about Rezko.

Obama bought land from Rezko when he was under federal investigation for influence peddling by patrick fitzgerald.

Obama had rezko build a fence and buy 1/6th of his lot which made the rest of the lot far less in value.

Obama then lied to the Washington Post saying he didn't know about the investigation and no one could have known Rezko had any problems. Well it turned out later he did know Rezko was under federal investigation for influence peddling and called him. Rezko had been in the chicago papers for three years.

Obama hasn't been vetted.

This is a guy who wrote a book about Wright.

Copies speeches from Duval Patrick.

Calls Father Pfleger a moral compass.

Hangs out with islamic supporters like Khalidi.

Obama tells a palestinian activist hamas supporter in 2004 to keep up the good work but he couldn't talk about it because of the election.

Obama raised money for militant palestinian groups in the west bank.

Obama called ICE agents terrorists for arresting illegals.

Obama wants to let off the thugs of Jenna6 who beat that kid senseless.

Often teenage pregnancy is the result of family discord or perhaps divorce or feeling neglected on some level. Girls reach out for love/attention and that may involve sex. While I support working parents at the same time being too busy with too much emphasis on careers that make their children not a priority perhaps is something to be aware/concerned about. It may be fair to say that both Palin parents with demanding careers and five children one of whom is special needs have to reconsider that the only priority that counts is being there to raise their kids. Something has to give sometimes and I can't imagine how adding VP to this helps the family.

George has again shown his "True
Colors".............So you're wondering
what else you can dig up on Sarah Palin
and family.......
The Palin Family has more class than
you !!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in the Dallas are. The president of my school board represents more people than Ms. Palin represents in the entire state of Alaska. Personally, I don't think I'd vote for the president of my school board for VP even though that person manages a very large budget and staff. As a state Senator from Illinois Mr. Obama represented more people that Ms. Palin represents in the entire state of Alaska. Ms. Palin was the mayor of a town that is the equivalent of a small farming town in Texas. If I want a pothole filled she would be my "go to" woman. However, she has no business running for vice president of the US. Is the problem that there AREN'T any women in the Republican party that are more qualified than Ms.Palin? The one exception I know of is Kay Hutchinson from Texas but I hear she didn't want the job with McCain.

Obama bloggers will never take the high road - NEVER. And Obama knows it. After all, early in the election process, he help boot camp for bloggers to teach his followers how to produce slime.

Chris

So why isn't your school board guy a VP candidate? Corrupted?

I am voting for Ron Paul.

Donald Young and Larry Bland were both openly gay African-American members of Obama's Trinity UMC. Both were shot execution style within 30 days of each other. The bombshell may involve the murder of Donald Young, a 47-year-old choir master at former Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ—the same congregation that Obama has attended for the past 20 years. Two other young black men that attended the same church—Larry Bland and Nate Spencer—were also murdered execution style with bullets to the backs of their heads—all within 40 days of each other, beginning in November 2007. All three were openly homosexual.

What links this story to Barack Obama is that, according to an acquaintance of Obama, Larry Sinclair, Obama is a closet bisexual with whom he had sexual and drug-related encounters in November 1999.

Further, Sinclair claims that Obama was friendly with at least two of these deceased parishioners, and that choir director Donald had contacted him shortly before being murdered from multiple gunshot wounds on December 23, 2007.

These killings are receiving a number of different reactions. Mike Parker, reporting for CBS in Chicago, wrote, “Activists fear gay African-Americans are being targeted for murder,” while Marc Loveless of the Coalition for Justice and Respect queries, “Are we under attack? Is this a serial killer?”

An even more sinister aspect of this case is being investigated. According to Sinclair in an affidavit to the Chicago Police Department, Donald Young had informed him that he and Barack Obama were “intimate” with each other.

HEY PALIN FANS!!

I just heard on Larry King Live that a McCain team is on their way to Alaska to "do further vetting on Palin!"

Isn't it a little late for that McCain? Shouldn't you have done that before you picked her?

I bet Romney is laughing at you right this second McDummy!!!

On CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and just about every TV Network out there they are tearing Palin to shreds! All the Republicans are spinning their butt's off, but their spin just sounds totally ridiculous!!!

No Republican will answer the point blank question of "IS PALIN READY TO TAKEOVER AS COMMANDER AND CHIEF IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO McCAIN??"

You should all see them dancing around throwing out the Republican talking points, that she has more "executive experience than either Obama or Biden!

It is just a riot!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!

Remember McCain's cruel comment about Chelsea Clinton's looks?

Obama is right...kids should be off limits.

I've never seen such support from the "Dobson" crowd, dealing with the Palin's daughter. With such support from the holiest of all, I can just see the thousands of evangelical young ladies going at it like a room full of bunnies!

Unlike Palin, Obama has never been under "investigation" for any wrongdoing. So you can try to smear him all you want but we know you are lying.

hmmm,

If Ms. Palin is a member, or was a member, of the American Independence Party, which advocates secession from the US, then it's highly unlikely that Ms. Palin will be able to obtain a security clearance from the Federal Government. Since I hold a security clearance I understand what will disqualify her and this is real high on the list. How can a person be VP without a security clearance?

I think that Sarah Palin is an upfront, forthright, honest woman who shows incredible integrity. In this day and age when the media and society empasize sexuality, and sex outside marriage, it is not uncommon for a young unmarried woman to turn up pregnant. This sort of thing has been happening for centuries. I applaud the fact that Ms. Palin is supporting her daughter in her decision to have the baby. Many would have quietly aborted the child as inconvenient and, in that instance, who would ever know? The decision to have the baby shows character and a respect for life. All human life is created by God and is sacred. To be sure, there are consequences to sin, but the birth of a child is an inestimable good that can come out of an unexpected, or unplanned, pregnancy. I feel very positive about Sarah Palin and I think she will make an outstanding Vice President.

Aston,

Because, like Ms. Palin, that person is not in any way qualified for the VP position. Duh.

How is this pregnancy in any way linkable to McCain or Palin's conservative values? That isn't even logical. They didn't make her get pregnant. Also, it's easy for Obama to appear to take the high road when he has all his surrogates and media shills running around attacking the Palin family and making very sexist remarks.

Given that Palin has more executive experience than Obama, it looks to me that the Democratic party FAILED its primary objection, and that's putting up a candidate that is ready to be President from day #1. Epic. Fail.

When you morons on the left push this issue, we'll keep reminding you that Hussein's mother gave birth to him when she was a teenager and married his father (who was then married to multiple women) just six months before he was born. When you bring up past situations just remember that your cult leader is not a saint; there is a load of dirt in his past to air for the American audience. You know we can imply in our ads that he's a "secret muslim"; NY Times' Paul Krugman says the dude recited the Islamic call to prayer in his office; 'Allah Akhbar', we can use code words to remind Americans that "did you know he's black" (Hussein's words not mine"), have you guys bought your tickets to see God damm America II by Rev Jerry Wright coming to a theater near you in October, what about the forthcoming Annenberg papers authored by Hussein and Ayers. You guys get the idea, just ask "Senator" Max Cleland or "President" John Kerry. So I say please keep pushing this storyline. Just understand that Sarah Palin is no HRC; we on the far right will not allow her go down like that. You think your golden boy Hussein is like the dapper don, you think you have this election figured out, wait till October, we are going to turn Hussein to a pariah. All this distractions would have been avoided if Hussein accepted the town hall debates suggested by our next American President; John S.
