2. Baby Daddy.... Oh the rewards for knocking-up not only one young teenager (Bristol Palin) but another young teenager, too! Right-wing Christians are so f***** up. They are judgmental about anyone outside their fundamental beliefs and praise their own for misguidance and irresponsibility.

It was okay for the media to beat up Senator Clinton but it's not okay to say a word about this red neck woman from Alaska who leads a double or hypocritic life. . The Republican Party has become an absolute joke in America with their double-speak and double-lives. They'll do anything to win and will cheat, again, during this election cycle.

She's not my idea of a real leader or a real woman....she's another blood thirsty (killing of animals) and warmongering Republican who was born into the wrong body just like the he-she that gave birth a couple of months ago.

3. I feel sorry for Levi Johnston. Not only is he going to lose his freedom at much too young an age, but his unborn child is being waved like some kind of symbolic banner by the religious right. If he were my son I would want him to try to be a good father, but postpone marriage until after college, even if he chooses to stay with Bristol Palin.

4. I feel sorry for Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin but this is what happens when you are only taught absentince. If they had been taught to use effective birth control they wouldn't be forced into marrying each other at such a young age. As for Sarah Palin - I think that she needs to get off her soap box and look at her life and the life that she's helped cause for her daughter. Luckily it was a baby the kids produced and not an STD. What type of life are they going to have? Neither of them currently have jobs and it costs money to live or are they going to be living off our tax paying dollars? Sarah Palin is against government subsized health care and for competition among insurance providers which is what we currently have and have how many millions of children without healthcare. Once Bristol either turns 18 or graduates high school she will no longer be qualified to be on her parents health insurance unless she goes to college and how's she going to do that and raise a baby? So what happens if the kid gets sick? Do you really think that minimum wage jobs that either Levi or Bristol would be qualified for is going to pay enough to support the 3 of them and give them health insurance at the current costs? Or are these 3 going to be living of our tax dollars. I think this is an AWFUL example to have out there for teens and tweens and this family should NOT be in the national spotlight.

Barack Obama said we shouldn't be talking about the private lives of the candidates and especially not their kids but I don't see Barak or his family out there calling for absentince before marriage. I think this is a HUGE difference between the 2 different parties. The Dems don't try and tell EVERYONE that they should live a hypocritical life style while the Reps do. Their Anti-equality of gays and women needs to be STOPPED! They need to stop throwing bricks since they live in glass houses.

5. Shotgun wedding, Levi you have no choice, Palin will have your family fired from their jobs!!!

6. Did Sarah Palin ever consider the emotional welfare of these two kids? And we are supposed to believe that the children had planned to marry before the pregnancy? Yeah, right. At least let them live seperately and learn what being parents is all about before forcing them into marriage! Obviously Bristol's mommy and daddy are still making all decisions for her and treating her as a child. Well guess what? She's going to be a mommy herself! In this day and age, at least outside of this little community in Alaska, women are marrying much older and like to focus on school and maturity. Let her grow up and raise her child the way so many single moms do today. She'll be fine but leave the two kids alone!

7. Feel sorry for Levi-oh please. It takes two to make a baby and the responsibility falls on both parties! I am so damn tierd of reading all the judgemental statements regrading Bristol, Levi and Sarah. Who the hell are most of you to form an opinion on someone that you have never met? It sickens me to know that there are so many judgemental people in this world.

Babs, "the Republican Party has become an absolute joke with their double-speak, double-lives". Does the name John (pathetic) Edwards ring a bell with you? Or, how about Obama who, sat in a church for 20+ years and listened to a racist pig and denounced his church and the pastor ONLY after tapes of the so called "good preacher" surfaced! I guess you have amnesia! God help you if one of your teenagers becomes pregnant!

8. right wing, left wing. religious right or atheist- I hope that 1/2 of the people posting comments never live in a glass house. I also hope that none of you face the heartbreak of knowing your child chose, by plan or impulse, to do the very same thing you tried to warn them about. They hand out condoms for free many places, and yet STD's rise. Does that mean we should stop sex ed because that must "not be working."

The fact that Sarah Palin supports abstinence and yet her daughter got pregnant is ironic- but it hardly makes her the world's worst mother who blew off or messed up her daughter. Is every parent of a child who did drugs, went under-age binge drinking at a college party, or foolishly went drunk driving a horrid parent, or a hypocrite? Good lord, my parents should be hung from the rafters for my college years. Are any of you who did any of the above willing to call your own parenys rotten?... or simply naive about their teenagers actions?

This is just a feeding frenzy. How about laying off and sticking to any issues? We stop slinging mud about her & her daughter, we stop slinging mud about the hypocrisy of Biden and his son being a lobbyist with insider acces-- and we look at the positions of the men running.

9. Lets just face people...this country is screwed. lets just hope it's better in 2012.

10. The blatent sexism being displayed in the media and by the American people is disgusting. Women should have the freedom to choose whatever side of the issues they want to be on and not be subjected to these type of gutter attacks in either event. As far as the kids go, the media should have the decency to leave them out of it but I also despise the way the candidates on both sides feel obliged to drag the kids along on the campaign trail. Shouldn't they all be in school?

11. If this woman cannot manage her own children, how could she possibly manage the country? We do NOT need to take that chance.

12. Just because Palin doesn't belive sex education should be in school doesn't mean she didn't teach her daughter. Condoms break people, life happens. Who's to say these kids don't want to get married? Many, many people have started families young and still had a successful, meaningful lifes. Yes, I think it will be hard to start a family under this kind of microscope but nothing is impossible. You Dems preach that all the time. :)

13. That crap with Obama asking everyone to "back off" on Palin's daughter was just that - crap. He probably stepped right off the stage and told the bots actually running the campaign (it hasn't really given him that much experience) to step up their efforts to find even more on Palin's family. He may have SOME of you fooled - I feel for you - but not me. The man is an empty suit who pulls his thumb out of his butt every day to test which way he needs to "blow" that day. Change, change, change, my ASS. If he'd really wanted change - he would've picked Hillary, but he is intimidated by her. Instead he picks Biden - the poor man has had two aneurysms. I hope Biden doesn't have another trying to prop up Barak's inexperience.

14. How can anyone say that Sarah Palin shouldn't be VP because she can't
control her own family - yet fail to notice the KINGS OF DYSFUNCTION -
the liberal Kennedy clan who have been elected to every office
imaginable! The darlings of the Democratic party. The LION OF THE
SENATE. There isn't even enough space to list it all - but it all
began with old Joe, who brought his mistress to the supper table,
Gloria Swanson, with his wife Rose in attendance! Things went
downhill from there. He lobotomized one of his own children - look
at JFK, maybe a good president - who knows - but a known womanizer.
Look at Bobby - a known womanizer - look at Ted, a known womanizer,
hello Mary Jo......shall I go on? William Kennedy Smith - arrested
for rape - hell, the one who KILLED Martha Moxley is in prison right
now! Ted's son drove into a guard shack drunk and stoned just a few
years back. One overdosed. Kinda makes a teen pregnancy and a DWI 20
years ago seem tame and inconsequential!

15. The comments against Palin and women in general on this site and in the "old liberal media" are sexist and small-minded on the upside. Down deep, these little pointy-headed liberal men are angry that a woman may make it to the White House in spite of their Hillay pillary. These liberal men are small in MANY ways.
Go Sarah!!!
