In a day of stunning disclosures, John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said Monday her 17-year-old unmarried daughter was five months pregnant, and it was revealed an attorney was hired to defend the governor in a probe into the firing of her public safety commissioner.
The revelations threatened to steal any remaining thunder from Day One of the Republican National Convention, which already was overshadowed by Hurricane Gustav — and brought unwanted attention to the 44-year-old governor, a self-described "hockey mom" with little experience on the national stage.
The GOP convention had already been scaled back because of the hurricane, and just three days after McCain named Palin as his vice presidential running mate. Coming after the randomness of Gustav, the revelations added to the sense of unscriptedness hanging over the convention.
"Life happens," said McCain adviser Steve Schmidt, talking about the pregnancy story.
"An American family," added colleague Mark Salter.
In a brief respite from partisanship, Democratic rival Barack Obama weighed in: "I think people's families are off limits and people's children are especially off limits."

Between this, the hurricane and the Republic Convention ... it really must be a slow news day :roll:

Who the fuck cares if she's pregnant?
 
Well...we know the girl couldn't get an abortion even if she wanted to. She's gotta shit that kid out to win over her mom's base. The campaign organizers are going to tell her (and her belly) to sit backstage when families go out for post-debate photo ops.

Can you imagine if roles were reversed and Obama had a teenage daughter that was pregnant? Already Fox news can't get enough of calling Michelle Obama "baby momma" (and Michelle Obama is most definately not a baby momma).
 
I love how they try to brush it off like it's just life, yet i guarantee the GOP would have a field day if Obama had a unwed, pregnant teenage daughter.

It would just be another example of how liberal families have no morals or some other BS.

It shows how thorough the McCain campaign was in vetting her.

You can hope. But I doubt it.


Don't we already have several pages of digital high-fives-over-nothing in another thread?
We need more? Cary on then.

But thankfully Obama is bigger than that and denounced bloggers etc. trying to polticize this (as discussed in the other thread, but I'll post this here anyway).

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/01/obama-palin’s-family-off-limits/

MONROE, Michigan (CNN) – Barack Obama told reporters firmly that families are off-limits in this campaign, reacting to news that Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant.

“Let me be as clear as possible,” said Obama, “I think people’s families are off-limits and 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 potential performance as a vice president.”

Obama said reporters should “back off these kinds of stories” and noted that he was born to an 18 year-old mother.

“How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off-limits.”

The Illinois senator became aggravated when asked about rumors on liberal blogs speculating that Palin’s fifth child - Trig - is actually her daughter Bristol’s. A Reuters report Monday quotes a senior McCain aide saying that Obama’s name is in some of posts, “in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change,’”

“I am offended by that statement,” Obama shot back, not letting the reporter finish his question. “There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us.”

“We don’t go after people’s families,” Obama said. “We don’t get them involved in the politics. It’s not appropriate and it’s not relevant. Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be. And if I ever thought that there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired.”

To be honest, I don't get this one.

Isn't the stereotype of a liberal that they use contraceptives, and if the unlikely does happen, they consider all of their options?

I think they referring to the liberal stereotype of fucking anything that moves because it's their body, that's how they define freedom, and it gives the finger to all the god-loving authorities they despise.

Don't forget that we high-five each other every time someone gets an abortion.

Isn't it a sin to be a whore?

I would like to be the first one to stone her.

Having underage sex doesn't make you a whore...having sex for money makes you a whore. Doing it for free but with multiple people makes you a slut.

Ask your mother.

Where's Entertainment Tonight when you really need them?

Honestly, I don't see the point in discussing this, even though some people think it's funny to laugh in the faces of others.

Shhhh.... I'm trying to start another rumour that she is a whore and having sex for money......

with her brother!

Too far?

No one would give a shit but her family is a holier than thou fuckerfest that I want to slap.
 
Ouch, just heard about this today. This is gonna be one hell of a blow for McCain and Palin. Oh well, I couldn't give a shit less myself. Good publicity for Obama making that statement though.
 
This could have been a much bigger story if it wasn't for the hurricane. I bet they announced it yesterday thinking it would get passed over to cover more important events.
 
Article about the father:
http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/...g-baby-Sarah-Palins-17-year-old-daughter.html

The teenager expecting a baby with the 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin calls himself 'a f***ing redneck' on his MySpace page.

Levi Johnston, 18, a high-school hockey player, is engaged to Bristol Palin, whose pregnancy was revealed to the Republican party convention just days after her 44-year-old mother was picked as John McCain's running mate.

He is the high-school sweetheart of the Alaska governor's daughter and used his home page to admit having a girlfriend, but said: 'I don't want kids.'
Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin's baby.
Bristol Palin,

The hockey player with the Wasilla Warriors in Alaska was said to have made no secret of the pregnancy in his home town.

On the page he also says: 'But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s*** and just chillin' I guess'

He added: 'Ya f *** with me I'll kick [your] ass'

Johnston has also been in trouble with the law, for taking king salmon from a lake out of season.

Obama has nothing to say because there isn't anything he can say that won't come back to him. just like how someone from his staff made a comment about Palin's inexperience. Obama can't say that because he doesn't have any either.

The girl is pregnant, wow...there are so many teenage girls in this country that are pregnant. was britney spear's sister's pregnancy a big thing? it died out within days.

He could have just said "no comment" or "I don't comment on people's family issues."

He didn't have to so firmly denounce the deplorable tactics and ask the media to back off of such stories. He could have just said no comment and let them continue to do his "dirty work" for him as Bush etc. did with the swiftboaters, or Hillary did with the Rev. Wright story etc.

Firmly denouncing it shows he meant what he said about needing politics to get away from those kind of personal attacks.
 
you can just say "No" or smile while saying "No"

plus, you think the media is going to give a damn whether Obama denounced it or not.

they will use attacks when its to their benefits, just like how Obama lashed out at McCain when answered Rick Warren's question on who he thinks it rich. or the number of homes McCain has.

No. Just a typical 18 year old male with the privilege of growing up in a rural area.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Ouch, just heard about this today. This is gonna be one hell of a blow for McCain and Palin.[/QUOTE]

From what I've read its actually giving them a big boost with the evangelical base because it proves Palin's conservative pro-life stance (McCain is basically a pro-choice moderate, so they can't get excited over him).
 
[quote name='camoor']Is this the baby's father or Dubya?[/quote]

It's like a trend to make fun of Bush at every possible moment. I can't go anywhere without seeing a Bush joke cracked these days. Regardless, the father's a dumbshit and I can't believe his seed has been spread.

Well, that's definitely a good way to spin it in their favor.
 
whats sad is people saying Palin is unfit for the VP position because shes going to be leaving her daughter and her child whom has down syndrome. some guy actually tried pushing the point that Palin should have aborted the child when she knew the baby was high risk for DS. he was like "Poor child has down syndrome."

It shows he is firmly sticking to his word, and I applaud him for that.

And those other attacks weren't inappropriate personal attacks. McCain had tried to paint Obama as an elitist who can't relate to average people. So of course they had to jump on him not knowing how many homes he owns, as it paints him as a hypocrite for calling Obama and elitist and pretty much negated that line of attack.

It's fine to make attacks on the issues, or two show you opponents attacks were hypocritical. It's not ok to drag peoples family and personal issues out into the open for political gain when they have nothing directly to do with the issues at hand.

He can't relate to the average people. He is trying to play both sides. Obama is always talking about his faith in Christ. Yet when they asked him about abortion, he supports the woman's choice to choose. When they asked him about marriage, he answers that it is the union between man and woman, but i don't want to infringe on civil rights. plainly, he believes in one thing yet does another because he doesn't want to alienate others. obama can't be too black where he scares the white voters, and cant be too white and alienate the black voters.
 
You can be against abortion and be in favor of a woman's right to choice. You can also be in favor of man-wife "Leave It to Beaver" marriage and still think the government has no place saying who can and cannot get married.

Exactly. Those reviews I can respect and I agree with them.

We shouldn't need legislation on these things, but it's forced to be pursued because the republicans are trying so hard to outlaw a woman's right to choose, ban gay marriage etc.

This shouldn't be government business, but unfortunately it's became government business as it's better to have laws guaranteeing these rights rather than laws banning them.

This is just nonsense.

One can be religious, and support a woman's right to choose. The bible is archaic and not every church, much less every person supports every stupid thing it says.

One can think gay marriage is morally "wrong", but acknowledge that it's not the government business as the above poster said.

He doesn't believe one thing and say another. He simply doesn't see the world in black and white terms, not believe that his personal beliefs should be legally forced on other people by the government. Morals have no place in law--unless the laws are regrettably necessary to prevent a person's rights from being oppressed by people trying to force their morals on others.

Old news, and the daughters current pregnancy disproves that theory as she's 5 months pregnant and as you say the baby is 4 months old.

That was a big part of the reason they came out with the pregnant daughter story so fast was to dispel that blog rumor.
 
Just glad to hear the word "decided" in the press release. I would have thought that as anti-baby killing there wouldn't have been a decision to make.

and why wasn't she on the pill... would have thought all teenage girls would be popping those now a days.
