I have been a life-long conservative democrat, but I don’t understand what all the fuss is about with Mrs. Palin’s daughter. #1-She didn’t try to hide this from anyone #2–she’s “walking her talk” by not aborting her grandchild, to save family face. Can the same be said for the Kennedys, or the Clintons, or the Roosevelts? Why can’t both sides stick to issues and what can help the country? If this is what politics is really all about, then I’m glad I went with the military and medical services. A good dose of truth might help too!!!!

The children of candidates have historically been off limits, there is no reason that young Bristol should be any different. A press release was made to prevent the media and the mindless masses from screming that there was a cover-up. Palin has not in any way thrown her daughter to the sharks, she’s merely trying to make the best of a Catch-22. And to those that question Palin’s stand on Abstinence Only education in school I would say that you cannot have it both ways. The schools are funded by tax dollars. No tax dollars pay for abortions or adoptions so the only responsible stand (based on that thought) is abstinence. Parents, family, or maybe a family doctor can educate one-on-one better than the teachers (most of which are trained in literature, science, math, and liberal arts, not philosophy, theology, or anatomy and physiology). Leave this young woman alone. And look at Mrs. Palin’s experience as it pertains to the job at hand. Learn what she has done or not done in her various elected positions. Which parent among us would want our employer to judge us based on our home life?? I love my children, But I’m not sure I want my next raise to be based on how well they behave when they out being teenagers, learning to be themselves and testing their God-given freewill.

I agree the daughter is not fair game but what about her mother’s decision to place her pregnant seventeen year old in the media glare? Obama was accused to doing anything to get himself elected by Mc
Cain but Palin appears to be putting her personal ambition above her family’s needs in this matter.
