'Cuz their own home-grown "congregation" is unruly and/or dwindling? But they need to remember - if their offspring is doing this, too, they didn't suck it outta their thumbs - as my dear late mother-in-law frequently said. They take after the parental example they see before them day-in and day-out.

If she hadn't preached that crap, I'd give her a pass. Her family's preaching is not her own.

That's why I gave her a pass during the 2008 election. Her mother ran on the morals crap, she didn't and she never said anything about. Then she turned around and profited from the morals crap, so she gets no pass.

(I’m announcing this news a lot sooner than I ever expected due to the constant trolls who have nothing better to talk about!!!)
I wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant.
Honestly, I’ve been trying my hardest to keep my chin up on this one.
At the end of the day there’s nothing I can’t do with God by my side, and I know I am fully capable of handling anything that is put in front of me with dignity and grace.
Life moves on no matter what. So no matter how you feel, you get up, get dressed, show up, and never give up.
When life gets tough, there is no other option but to get tougher.
I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you.
But please respect Tripp’s and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy.
My little family always has, and always will come first.
Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine, because God is merciful.

If there is a God, how come he does not support "family values" by giving you a man to go along with those 2 illegitimate kids you will soon have?

I guess the kids are better off with no dad, than say perhaps 2 dads raising a child in what you would consider to be a horrible situation.

HYPOCRITE.

I was referring to her specifically.

The only thing she has done has been live off her mother's coattails. And she had a reality tv show for about 2 minutes.

And no, I do not mean every woman getting child support is a deadbeat. Just Bristol.

Because they are 2-Faced HYPOCRITES.

You can bet that conservative Pricks like her would be screaming from the rooftops if one of President Obama's girls became pregnant.

Do you seriously think that they would not take the opportunity to bash the Obama's parenting skills, and the judgement of their daughter?

That's why we're the nice party that does not go there. But you can bet the repubs would pounce all over it if the situation was to their benefit.

Her mother and she both chose to represent certain "values," so it's 100% relevant and newsworthy when they do things that fly in the face of those values, and try to act like it's suddenly no big deal.

They will tell a gay couple how wrong it is to not have a traditional family, but it's perfectly o.k. in her world to do it. HYPOCRITE and I have Zero sympathy and much disdain.

She has robbed her entire family of its honor and credibility on moral issues. What a loss to all of us but I think this finishes Sarah Palin as a credible public figure on morality issues.

I wonder what her emotional problem is?


I just feel sorry for Sarah. Bristol is an independent individual. But, honestly, in this day and age, how hard is it to not get pregnant? And after being a spokesman for abstinence!

So much for Bristol’s faux career as an abstinence spokeswoman. No wonder this country is going to hell in a hand basket when the very public scion of a prominent so conservative politician brings 2 illegitimate kids into the world.
