Also McCain, great job with the vetting. Top notch team you have there.- LibertyForever, on 09/02/2008, -2/+5Hey Holz, McCain did the vetting, and he was fine with this. Why was he? Let me explain it to you by asking you a couple of questions - since you don't get it:
1. Who did you mother date and slept with before (or while) she had you?
2. How do you know she's not seeing males besides your dad?
3. Is your sister faithful to your brother in law as we speak?
4. Is your grandmother dating behind your grandfather's back?
See what I mean? A Republican would say: individuals are free to do whatever they want, by definition, and are held responsible to whomever they choose to be responsible to.
And I'm saying to you: it's none of your ***** business to judge Bristol Palin or any other fellow human beeing - specially a kid - on the individual choices they make. People - at least in America, and at least in the Republican/Libertarian party - are free until further notice, and can do, and be held responsible for, whatever they want.
Get it? Look up the definition of liberty, then screw yourself - as you're free to do.

- thentro, on 09/01/2008, -5/+8That lead really captures how absolutely bizarre this story has been.
"ST. PAUL (Reuters) - The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child."
WTF?!- DD2CC2U, on 09/01/2008, -4/+1Why not just release the Birth records?
- xxBondsxx, on 09/02/2008, -4/+1I'm pretty sure if you make a legal adoption at the time of birth, it can look like the baby was porn to the set of adoptive parents
what we need is photographic evidence!!!
- xxBondsxx, on 09/02/2008, -4/+1I'm pretty sure if you make a legal adoption at the time of birth, it can look like the baby was porn to the set of adoptive parents
- DD2CC2U, on 09/01/2008, -4/+1Why not just release the Birth records?
- whitey9, on 09/01/2008, -8/+4It may diffuse some of that whole 'faking her pregnancy' thing, but I really don't see how this is in line with her super-Christian views. This is not a plus for Palin. This is a minus.
- vexingmodstwo, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Wrong.
- Sfenton, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1
- Sfenton, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2You must not see outside the box alot.
While Liberals will claim that she didn't adhere to her own rules regarding abstinence, her daughter did the braver option by not having an abortion and raising the child.
This is actually huge to the big conservative family block.
The more attention you guys bring this to her, the better she looks.
- vexingmodstwo, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Wrong.
- AmyVernon, on 09/01/2008, -4/+6This story gets more bizarre by the day. I don't even know what to think anymore.
- plimpton777, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1It's all so overwhelming! It makes me wistful for the days before Palin entered our lives. *sigh*
- rocketman42, on 09/01/2008, -3/+10Hopefully we can now move on to something more important than who is/was pregnant.
- xxBondsxx, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1While we're at it, we can also more beyond who's a woman/black/jewish/muslim/whatever
what we need is an intelligent, responsible, sensible, non-partisan president with the people in mind. How much is that to ask for?
- xxBondsxx, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1While we're at it, we can also more beyond who's a woman/black/jewish/muslim/whatever
- thegamingguy, on 09/01/2008, -7/+3I love how she tried to throw a family values statement in there: "Bristol and the young man she will marry...".
- plimpton777, on 09/02/2008, -1/+1"Marry my ***** daughter or I swear to God I'll have John send your ass to Guantanamo Bay."
- basye, on 09/01/2008, -7/+3Why didn't Palin give this information form the first time it was announced she was the VP pick? The repubs could have thwarted so much speculation if this had been done. Having a teenage daughter who is pregnant is certainly not the end of the world (and quite common), but the lack of information/not being forthcoming even about private family matters (how can one ignore that one!) does not bode well.
- WantToPlay, on 09/01/2008, -2/+6Boy, we're going to get a lot of different shouts about this...
Big deal, her daughter is pregnant... It doesn't change her views nor her possible new position. It's unfortunate that her daughter is so young. However, I'm sure that there are a lot of women and young women that can relate to this. The only difference is that this family is in the spot light.. So just get off your high horse and pull your fangs back.- GutterMoo, on 09/01/2008, -10/+3The problem is she wants to teach the same values to the nation as she would her family. Abstinence only for sex, look how that turned out in her family? She can't operate a family let alone be a VP.
- WantToPlay, on 09/02/2008, -2/+5I don't know what your family situation is. However, as a mother of 2. I could preach, yell, and scream, however they will d what they want to do. Especially young adults that think they know everything..
- QuadZeroStill, on 09/02/2008, -3/+3WantToPlay, exactly. It is like trying to explain to all the young mush heads on Digg how great the Republican party is compared to the liberal Democratic party. It will take years to get through to them.
McCain/Palin 08!
- shupy, on 09/01/2008, -6/+2Yes, maybe instead of pursuing a political career, Ms Palin needs to be takin care of her family.
- Stevanoski, on 09/02/2008, -3/+8Typical sexist, misogynistic response we expect from the Left.

"Yes, maybe instead of pursuing a political career, Ms Palin needs to be takin care of her family."
Oh, you mean like Hillary?
Doofus. - shupy, on 09/03/2008, -1/+1Yeah, like Hillary who did not run for office until her daughter was in college. Who's daughter is an educated young professional, not a pregnant teenager showing up on MySpace with a boyfriend who prides himself on being a ****ing Redneck.
- yakski, on 09/02/2008, -5/+1Nope .. no can do.. rightwing nutcases are always going on about morality this and morality that.. but mostly never practice what they preach.. and this is just a case in point..
She FAILS at teaching her daughter to be a responsible young adult!!! What is her excuse for her daughter's failure to exercise good judgment? Did she not teach her to think? Did she not teach her to be responsible? Did she fail to teach her anything about sex or sexual responsibility? Did she fail to teach her about birth control because she does not believe in it? Did she not know who her daughter was with and what she was doing?
Of course the father bears some responsibility for this also..
And of course the daughter really cannot be controlled 100% ... but come on.. she screwed up as a parent!!! Why would anyone think she could be president if she cannot handle the responsibility of being a parent!- DreadPirate, on 09/02/2008, -3/+3Leftwing nutcases are always going on about supporting teenage mothers, and here they are, attacking one from all sides and displaying their massive hypocrisy for the world to see.
- yakski, on 09/02/2008, -3/+1 uhhhhhhh .. hey dooface.... I am attacking her mother not her... and attacking is way too strong... I am saying an incompetent mother has no business being VP.
- shupy, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3Yes, the problem is not the girl, it's the mother. Who really believes the girl "chose" to have the baby. Her mother believes in teaching abstinence, and is running for office on a platform of anti-abortion. So she keeps her kids ignorant, then forces her pregnant teen daughter into marraige. Nice supportive parenting.
- shupy, on 09/03/2008, -1/+2The real problem is that this woman wants to make the decision concerning sex education and teen pregnancy for the whole country.
What she chooses in her life is fine, but who is she to oppose the teaching of sex education? Teen pregnancy is a problem, and there is a 90% divorce rate for teen marraiges.
- GutterMoo, on 09/01/2008, -10/+3The problem is she wants to teach the same values to the nation as she would her family. Abstinence only for sex, look how that turned out in her family? She can't operate a family let alone be a VP.

- akpwnz, on 09/01/2008, -6/+1The baby is mine.
- tdekashan, on 09/01/2008, -6/+2Yeah, i can sure imagine that their response to their daughter telling them they were pregnant is 'you have our unconditional love and support'
- darthjure, on 09/01/2008, -6/+2All of this reaction to Sarah Palin reminds me of Bush's Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers. Will Palin decline the nomination before the Republican convention?
- protogenxl, on 09/01/2008, -4/+2This entire situation is Nucking Futs.
There are so many rumors about her family the only way to clear them up is to have Cambridge, MIT, and The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich do DNA Trees of the Pain family. - Stevanoski, on 09/02/2008, -2/+8Gotta luv the Left's new found morality. Remember (frontpage story) Obama has said Palin's private life, and her family, is off limits.
- CindyMindy, on 09/02/2008, -8/+1After releasing a baby, a woman's anus may smell like fishsticks. I guess we're having Alaskan fishsticks for dinner!
- Stevanoski, on 09/02/2008, -1/+4This is the typical Leftist reply we've come to expect. Why not follow Obama's class act saying her daughters life is off limits. Why all the hate.
- Tex, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7Duplicate of a duplicate of a duplicate. Sarah Palin has eight of the current top ten front page stories, and that's more than enough.
- plimpton777, on 09/02/2008, -0/+4Eight is enough!
- Niallgriff, on 09/02/2008, -1/+6Let's criticize her politics instead of her family? It's a bit less petty....
- UltramegaOK, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3I bet other countries love watching American politics, or, as they call it, a soap opera.
- Ridgeliner7, on 09/02/2008, -0/+5Asked about the Palin story during a stop in Monroe, Michigan, Democratic nominee Barack Obama said:
“I think people’s families are OFF LIMITS and I think people’s children are ESPECIALLY OFF LIMITS! This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her performance as a Vice President and so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories and rumors, and if I find anyone on my staff involved in this kind of thing, I will fire them.”- BeyondDGrave, on 09/02/2008, -2/+1"Yes we can!"....do something... ?

- doctorfungi, on 09/02/2008, -0/+5You're an idiot. If she's 5 months pregnant now it makes it impossible for her to have had the last child, being that the last child was born 4 months ago.

This is bad. - Hillsfar, on 09/02/2008, -3/+1McCain and the Republicans can't claim family immunity even if Barack Obama has shown basic decency and taken the high road by saying Sarah Palin's family is "Off limits" and has warned the media and everyone to "Back off!"
That's because McCain broke the family immunity rule himself with his ugly *****:
"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly?" he told a handful of big Republican funders. "Because Janet Reno is her father."
The remark packed into its 15 words several layers of misogyny. It disparaged the looks of Chelsea, then 18 and barely out of high school; it portrayed Reno as a man at a time when she was serving as the first female US attorney general; and it implied that Hillary Clinton was engaged in a lesbian affair while the Monica Lewinsky scandal was blazing.
