again?!?

9/1/2008 12:21:03 PM

Abstinence only education.

9/1/2008 12:25:18 PM

use condoms

9/1/2008 12:27:56 PM

aaaaaaaahahhahahahaha...gg mccain

9/1/2008 12:30:45 PM

McCain rep said she will keep the baby and marry the father.....how long will this marriage last?

Will they get married at the WHITE HOUSE?!?!?!?!

"PRE MARITAL SEX"

I think I can hear the screams of the "values voters" now.

9/1/2008 12:35:55 PM

maybe they will try to turn this into a "she loves him and they are getting married" type of thing...lol bitch is 17 and getting married...

9/1/2008 12:39:23 PM

^ Did you read the article? They ARE getting married.

IIRC, I think Sarah Palin herself was married out of wedlock, so she has some experience with this...

9/1/2008 12:41:24 PM

Its alaska though

17 is the age all the girls up there get preggers

Then they move into their log Cabin with the baby's daddy and hunt/trap for furs to make a living

unless of course they opt for the mining gold career choice


I wonder if Dems will blow this up or just let the media do its thing ( I imagine this will be on Inside edition for the next two weeks)

9/1/2008 12:42:09 PM

Palin's Family = Spear's Family?

9/1/2008 12:42:18 PM

^^ if the Dems know what they're doing, they should definitely just sit back and let the media feast. Or even encourage the media to stay off the story, knowing they won't anyway.

9/1/2008 12:45:00 PM

someone copy and paste vehement denials by blogger tools

9/1/2008 12:45:36 PM

as if this election couldnt get any stranger....got some halfrican american as the dem nominee, that won a hard core fight from a broad...and you got some 72 year old guy that picks some former beauty queen that ran a state with the pop of charlotte, and has 5 kids, one of which who is preggers....

9/1/2008 12:46:48 PM

I don't think this will matter to values voters. I mean, when you teach abstinence girls get knocked up. So most hard right people already know a teen mother or even have one in their family. All that matters is keeping the baby.

9/1/2008 12:51:19 PM

^ this is very probable

It could affect the "swing" voters though.

Whereas "whore around, and use this" works every time.

9/1/2008 12:53:18 PM

It shouldn't matter, but it will matter to those types of christians who like to look down on people. These are the same types who will talk shit about divorced people. Someone in high office should be a good moral example.

9/1/2008 12:55:10 PM

^ But are those kind of Christians going to vote Obama anyway? The best we can hope for is that they don't vote.

9/1/2008 12:55:59 PM

pretty sure i'm agnostic and i look down on those kinda people too

Yep

Although this could backfire on Dems if media coverage turns into a lifetime movie on how much the family still loves her and supports her.

I agree that Teen pregnancy isnt that unheard of anymore, there were like 2 or 3 in the neighborhood I grew up in

its ok when its the daughter of a rich broad but if its some hood rat they just want free welfare...lololol

9/1/2008 12:59:48 PM

Lucky for them that this broke / was released during Gustav and not on a slow news day.

well it works about 98% of the time

Not perfect, but a much better success rate than, "Julie told me that Coke is a spermicide"

9/1/2008 1:15:16 PM

I scratched my noggin at that one too but I knew what he was getting at. Or did I?

9/1/2008 1:18:12 PM

I'll admit, I have no idea how that phrase is supposed to be used.

9/1/2008 1:25:10 PM

^ Isn't that like having your cake and eating it too?

BTW, she is pregnant NOW? I thought she had given birth recently, but Sarah was pretending it was her own child, because that http://www.dailykos.com link in the other thread gave a name for the child???

So, what's going om?


[Edited on September 1, 2008 at 1:33 PM. Reason : ]

9/1/2008 1:31:38 PM

maybe if she gets married then has an affair the dems will vote mccain

9/1/2008 1:35:59 PM

^^ Sarah Palin was ACTUALLY pregnant, and the DailyKos contributor was full of shit.

But Bristol Palin who everyone was saying LOOKED pregnant actually IS pregnant NOW (thankfully for her, she's not just fat).

Obama's mom got pregnant out of wed lock

9/1/2008 1:38:38 PM

^ OH SNAP!

That explains why she married a darkie I guess.

9/1/2008 1:40:34 PM

Will this baby be retarded like her other child?

9/1/2008 1:46:14 PM

It's very rare for women under 20 to give birth for Down's babies

9/1/2008 1:47:33 PM

moron she never looked that fat in the pics i saw...


i mean she wasnt rail thin but she was kinda cute...

9/1/2008 1:48:28 PM

^^The majority of Downs babies are from younger mothers.

9/1/2008 1:49:28 PM

^someone posted a link like yesterday that its way more likely for women in their 40's to give birth to them

9/1/2008 1:51:39 PM

Just to stir the pot a little...

9/1/2008 1:52:46 PM

^^Yes, that is true, but the majority of downs babies are born to young mothers.

9/1/2008 1:55:04 PM

i guess its a good thing for him that his mother took her "punishment"

9/1/2008 1:55:34 PM

^ Was his mother 16 when she had him?

9/1/2008 1:56:41 PM

OH MY FUCKING GOD A GIRL IS PREGNANT

9/1/2008 2:01:16 PM

7 months preg

5 days before she had her kid at 8 months preg


yeah........

9/1/2008 2:01:33 PM

this wouldn't be such a big deal if the "values voters" / ultra conservative / religious right didn't make it into such a big deal. oh no a teenager got pregnant. its like it doesn't mean she is any less moral because she got pregnant. people can be moral and still make mistakes. oh shit, she made a "mistake"...we can either blow it out of proportion or just let her deal with it responsibly (whatever her choice may be, which apparently is forced marriage. sweet...there's a solution to the problem). but the reason why it IS so blown out of proportion is because of preachy right wingers that shove their "morals" down people's throats. pregnancy...A NEW PHENOMENON. teenagers getting pregnant...another new phenomenon. people shitting a brick over it...yes, another brand new concept in the world.

9/1/2008 2:07:37 PM

^^ why don't you work for a doctor so they dont have to buy an ultrasound

9/1/2008 2:09:32 PM

Oh, so Trig is the uncle rather than the baby in question?


Either way Bristol doesn't affect McCain's policies and shouldn't really be considered when making a voting decision.

9/1/2008 2:29:53 PM

^ yea that logic will never fly. why? didn't work with bill clinton. oh no he made a moral boo boo that didn't affect his policies...well...other people didn't take it so lightly

and i agree, i shouldn't affect anything. but it does kind of highlight some of the hypocrisy of the morally superior super duper right.

"Maternal age influences the chances of conceiving a baby with Down syndrome. At maternal age 20 to 24, the probability is one in 1562; at age 35 to 39 the probability is one in 214, and above age 45 the probability is one in 19.[14] Although the probability increases with maternal age, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35,[15] reflecting the overall fertility of that age group. Recent data also suggest that paternal age, especially beyond 42,[16] also increases the risk of Down Syndrome manifesting in pregnancies in older mothers"

Top story on the right list of stories (obviously Gustav gets the main box), and it comes before the story on the RNC

Quote :

"# Teen daughter of GOP VP pick is pregnant # Ticker: Palin's husband has DWI arrest # Hanna becomes hurricane in Atlantic # LIVE: CNN Radio at the GOP convention "

Man, the Palin's just can't catch a break from the media.
