Palin says daughter, 17, pregnant

Quote from Jayford:

I'd be surprised if this gets any traction because the age of consent in AK is 16. Therefor, nothing even morally wrong with this picture unless you take the out of wedlock thing. You'd have to toss millions of Americans per year into that category however. Besides, she's gonna marry the guy.

Man you and OldTrader are definitely classic hardcore GOP lovers, first to defend... Let me guess.. are you deeply religious? What part of San Diego do you live in so I stay away?
 
Quote from smilingsynic:

It absolutely says a lot about Palin. It also tells us something about how conservative social policies often really do not work in the real world.

She has attacked sex education in the schools, saying that it only encourages kids to have sex. Like other naive consevatives, she has stated that sex education is simply a matter of just-saying-no abstinence.

And then her daughter goes out and gets knocked up and plans to enter a shotgun marriage, even though such marriages almost never work (what about the sanctity of marriage?)

I always get a kick out of conservative prudes who want to tell others how to live their lives and then cannot control their own kids. In the case of Larry Craig and Mark Foley, they cannot even control themselves.

Exactly. Anyone who denies exactly what you say is conscienciously denying the straight out truth right into front of their face - in other words lying and deluding, most likely themselves.
 
What it says is that if you vote republican this year you are supporting teenage sex and promiscuity, and sex out of wedlock.
If you vote republican this year you dont support the troops who fought and died to protect the constitution which says only those who are born in the USA are qualified to be our nations leader.
So what are you this year,,a member of a party or a real american, who will not allow some foreign born to become our commander in chief?
 
I can hear the hissing now from the "mind your own business" media choir if this was a liberal's kid. Obama sends his angry wife out on political trips, then gets mad as hell if anyone criticizes her when she says she just became proud of America. But it's ok to go after a candidate's 17 year old pregnant daughter? Or traffic in absurd rumours that the candidate's handicapped baby was actually her daughter's?

The next time a bunch of liberals are musing about why middle america despises them, they might want to think about this episode.
 
YOWZA!

Let's recap. Palin has radical views on women's rights. Palin has radical fundamentalist religious views. Her 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant, but "made the decision on her own to keep the baby". Palin has a young daughter with down syndrome yet believes she has the time, energy and priority to run the country. These are "family values" is action? Oh, but she is pretty, likes to shoot guns and would give her and her daughters' rights to choose away in the name of a patriarchal God concept. This, my friends, is a neocon wet dream. Someone sit this woman down and explain the meaning of the word "paradox" to her. She is a walking disaster and will likely get more conflicted as the stress of living this radical right symbology mounts. If there ever was a need for an intervention, Dr. Phil, this is it!

Quote from OldTrader:

This says nothing about Palin

Wrong. It says a hell of a lot about her.

The fact that she would force a 14 year-old child victim of gang-rape to carry to term a pregnancy that resulted from the rape also says a lot about her. It says she's a nutcase and a religious extremist.

The silence that emanates from the far right when this fact is brought up is so serene...

Pabst?
 
Mr. Palin=no college degree.
Palin's son=Off to fight in Iraq...no college education.
Palin's daughter=Teenage mother...no college education.

The dumbing down of America, right wing republican style...

The Palin family belongs on Jerry Springer...


Quote from runningman:

McCain-- marriage FAIL
Palin-- raising kids FAIL

these people can't manage their personal lives, let alone managing the country.

Stop blaming the "liberals" for this. Blame McCain and Palin, McCain for his lack of judgment, and Palin, for her lack of parenting skills, her hypocrisy, and for her bad timing.

The topic here was about Palin's 17 year old daughter, not child victims of gang-rape. And that's what I was referring to.

You continue to bring up these relatively rare examples of sex crimes, to illustrate I suppose a case against "right to life". Why not just say you're against it, and get it over with?

If you lived in or were a citizen of the US, I'm sure you're aware that under current law, a child victim of gang rape could get an abortion.
