OlderBristol Palin is Pregnant!
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol Palin is five months pregnant and is going to marry the father.
Sarah and husband Todd Palin released this statement via the John McCain campaign:
“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”
“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”
Reuters news service, which first reported the news, says this news is “intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for [Bristol].” Trig was born this past April with Down Syndrome.

How is her daughter having a baby going to score points with conservatives, since they aren’t supposed to believe in premarital sex to begin with? Or did she have an immaculate conception and we’re awaiting the re-birth of the messiah? Anybody want to expound on this?
Even DailyKos has backed off their story with respect to the baby:

This isn’t about Obama, folks! It’s about McCain picking a VP that wasn’t even vetted. That they didn’t know her beyond her being a female.
Lieberman. Pawlenty. Hutchison. Where you at? It might be your time.
Okay- no republican here- where I come from we don’t even call them that…..
WHO ON GOD”S GREEN EARTH manages/controls/completely limits their teenagers?? Who of you truly can?? Honestly I work out of having too to pay bills, and my kids have done some stupid things- even when I have been home.
Controlling your kids- please give me tips.
fertile*
I wonder if they are going to drag the poor guy to the altar by the hair of his head and a shotgun pointed at his back?
I bet mommy dearest didn’t know what was going on in her back yard. Isn’t it a sin to fornicate outside of marriage…this should keep the religious right from voting for this terrible mom whose daughter got preggers…LMAO
guess what! whether or not this girl raises her own child is not your decision to make. the decision belongs to bristol. for the record my mother got at 16 married my father at 17 two months before she gave birth. my mother decided to keep and raise my eldest brother; he is now studying international law at oxford in england. my parents also had 4 other children. any questions.
Did the REpublicans not vet this candidate? She is running on a family values platform. While I don’t condemn Bristol etc., it does call Palin’s parenting skills into question. She needs to resign.
OMG she is pregnant again. I think this lady has serious issues in her home. a lot of women get pregnant right after they give birth. Sarah has serious problems in running her home. I have a niece who had a baby January 1 and she had a baby born in December the same year. So we all say how could she have done that. Sarah Palin has serious problems in her own family.
sorry i met to send above comments to number 43
OBAMA 08!

I am utterly convinced that George McCain is an idiot! How could his camp, armed with this information, still nominate her?
This woman is a liar and worst yet a hypocrite. Her own family doesn’t respect her views, why the hell should we? My single working mother manages to raise her daughters with self respect and dignity. And you know what? We didn’t come home pregnant. If Sarah runs her own home so poorly, imagine how she would run the country! Do we really need a teenage mother in the white house? It would be like a white house endorsement of teen pregnancy.
Personally this doesn’t bring an end to those rumors. It just makes me wonder what else this morally questionable woman is hiding.

Juno got pregnant & she became an idol.
These are different times & sex at 16 is not
a *****.
My Mom had me @ 17.
I like Sarah Palin..I don’t trust Biden brrr
NOW SOME NEOCONS SAY THIS NEW WRINKLE IN THIS STORY WOULD MAKE THEM VOTE FOR MCCAIN EVER MORE TOTAL HYPOCRITICS DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO MAYBE SEX ED CLASS AND INFO ABOUT CONDOMS MIGHT HAVE SAVED THIS YOUNG GIRL THE TOUGH AND ADULT CHOICES SHE NOW HAS TO MAKE…………………HER MOTHER IS KIND OF RELENTLESS IN HER QUEST FOR POWER …………………
liberals look for a reason to attack any chance they get because their candidate is disgusting.
palin believes in pro-life…and her family is practicing that by not aborting the baby. it would of been much easier to abort and cover this up but they are standing by their MORALS and ETHICS and their FAMILY. something liberals have a hard time with.
liberals believe we shouldn’t have capital punishment because you never know what sort of childhood a rapist or murderer had and we should not judge them. YET they are willing to attack, and judge a 17 yr old who had sex and got pregnant. seriously all you liberals…go move to canada.
The McCain judgement is seriously in question.
“They knew about this teenage pregnancy” , but still insisted on allowing Sarah to be VP, knowing the hell they’d be throwing at Bristol, not just the next two months, but for the next four years.
Do we really need an Ashlee Simpson in the White House????
What were they thinking,? They should just have said ,”We’re not gonna hurt a 17-year old any more than she already is, find someone else”
I don’t think this girl should get married at 17, her decision to have the baby notwithstanding. Marriage at that age is insane.
Shell…sweetie…his name isn’t George McCain
you know i am one of the people who have not yet decided who to vote for. really, i consider myself to be independent. but after reading someone the comments from what obviously obama supporters i have come closer to making a decision. i have never read such idiotic comments in my life. but keep going; i’ve never voted republican before but there’s always a first time.
Sarah sets good examples for all young Americans..
not
Aha! I knew it! This is only going to get worse. I think the baby Trig is hers and this is just another cover up . Either that or she got knocked up again, as many first time moms do. But how did the daughter get pregnant five months ago if she was infected with mono? Gimme a break! This lady is a joke with her family values, lies, and cover ups!
———————————
so what?
it’s private.
if she wants to cover it up, she can.
it’s a private thing & so then she doesn’t have to answer questions.
cut her some slack.
Mccrazy farted a stinky one and the smell is permeating throughout the country. The repugs are sniffing and I don’t think they like the smell, although they are trying to cover it up with lysol.
