Are you kidding me? What type of so called values is Sarah Palin presenting to the nation when her 17 year old daughter is pregnant? Is this the Spears family? This VP pick is utterly a disater!

Sh, Yorba Linda, CA — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:04:36 GMT

Well so much for being conservatives. That what we need is sending signal to our 17 yrs old it is ok to have sex at that age and get pregnant. These conservatives and their moral values.

John Catkil — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:04:44 GMT

Maybe if the Conservatives were not so against teaching birth control this might not have happened to Bristol Palin.

Already a darned ol' soap-opera and not even month into the selection. Get this scummy mess off the air!

Billy, Texas — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:08:48 GMT

So she got pregnant when she had mono? If she got pregnant 5 months ago, wasn't that during the time she was pulled from school because of her sickness?

This smells.

I don't care so much about the pregnancy but the cover up which is symptomatic of someone willing to lie to the public.

Nice job of abstinence. A 17-year-old still in HS, pregnant and going to be married. Why not give the girl sex education and contraceptive? For chrissakes, this is the example we want for our kids. Nice job, neocons.

Kate, Atlanta — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:09:20 GMT

Uh, was any vetting done on this woman???

So, Jamie Lynn Spear's mom for VP? I guess that abstinence only training didn't work, yet again, as it never does. Obama is right, we need to work towards finding ways to reduce the number of this type of "surprise" pregnancy.

So much for strong family values. Maybe McCain should have tapped Britney Spears mother for VP.

Mrs Palin, I still would like to know why you never did look pregnant with your 5th child, and why Bristol disappeard from school for 8 months. Seems like you may have your 2nd grandchild on its way.

Donna, Lincroft, NJ — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:09:33 GMT

Go ahead, make hay of that, you small-minded, vicious Obama supporters.

On a more amusing note, the latest Democratic talking point is that Obama has plenty of experience to be president, because he has been running for the office of president since he was elected to the Senate. You people CANNOT seriously believe that people are stupid enough to swallow that. Oh, wait. You were stupid enough to swallow Obama. Never mind.

shocked in Seattle, WA — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:10:33 GMT

Wow, but we all the rumors and photos, I'm not surprised. Especially with the photo published by McCains daughter herself with a backstage photo showing a very big Bristol (I was wondering if she hadn't lost her weight if the original pregnancy rumor was true). Not surprising they were hiding her on the bus at events. Don't want to be too political, but it just goes to show the decision making process of John McCain, very scary. And now you have a VP candidate with a 4 month special needs baby and a pregnant teenager. Perhaps you should spend some time getting your family values in order before assumming a campaign for VP. This ticket is a dysfunctional or prototypical (depending on how you look at it) example of what the Republicans and the conservative right wing are all about.

Check out the link to Heather McCain's blog, her actual photos. Look near the end at an obviously pregnant Bristol.

Ken, Atlanta, GA — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:10:42 GMT

Many will jump on this as indicative of a lack of family values or something. Those who do will be acting in poor taste and boorishly. I don't think Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice-President, not to mention POTUS. The fact her daughter has made some poor choices and has to pay the consequences, undoubtedly shocking and disappointing her parents is not relevant to the political arena.
Anyone who goes down that path is engaging in the dirty kind of smear politics we don't need anymore of in this campaign.

Just because I'm for Obama doesn't mean I'll jump at any opportunity to criticize the opposing side. I hope other Democrats feel and act the same.

You liberals and your double standards. It's OK for Clinton to cheat on his wife because it supposedly has no bearing on his ability to lead the nation.

What is more distressing in all of this is that she is going to marry the father. Would this be happening if not for the kleiglights of the vice presidential campaign?

Newborn special needs baby, pregnant 17 year old about to marry--all of this spells a demanding household. And Palin is going to burn the midnight oil catching up on NAFTA, Putin, Ahmadenijad and Osama Bin Laden.

The absurdity of this is breathtaking.

How does this knock down the rumor that the Down's Syndrome child is not Bristol's also?? This report says Bristol is ABOUT five months pregnant. She could easily be three to four months pregnant AND have given birth in April to the DS baby. To me this makes it MORE likely that Bristol is the mother of the baby born in April, and that Sarah Palin DID fake her pregnancy.

I think McCain did himself and the Republican party a disservice. If he wanted to attempt to get the womans vote by chosing a woman VP there are much more qualified women he could have chosen.

John McCain knew this and still asked Palin to be his Vice President? Not a good step at al. Sure, we shouldn't judge, however we have too much going on in the U.S. and abroad right now to have the distraction of our Vice President's 17 year old daughter having a baby. So, having Palin is going to be a "reach-out" to evangelicals? Do you know, that Kansas is supposed to have the highest amount of teenage pregnancies in the nation, and they vote down sex education in school. Something is obviously not working in the fundamental community if there are so many teenage pregnancies amongst them.

John McCain is probably kicking himself right now. This story is getting weirder and weirder everyday. Once the hurricane dies down, this story is going to pick up and people aren't going to be happy about this.

Oh like none of your kids are having sex! Get real - At least they are honest and not hiding the facts. This is the real life and they are helping, loving their children who are like the rest of us - GODS children - who make mistakes and should be forgiven not prosecuted by YOU all who I am sure are not free from sin. I don't expect anyone but my GOD to be free of sin, not even the president. You can be sure the other nominees are not either. Give them a break and make sure ask forgiveness for judging others when that is not your job, just hope you are forgiven for it.

I wish Bristol was my daughter. We would have been talking about safe sex, birth control, college, condoms, choosing to see the world, exploring your own brilliant potential instead of pacifiers, pac-n-plays, pampers and potty training.

What a disaster - is this the model family for conservatives? A minor, unmarried kid getting knokced up at the age of 17.

McCain screwed up, big time.

Unmarried sixteen-year-old daughter pregnant. Everyone's lauding Palin's abilities as a MOTHER to her five kids and for her "family values" - maybe if she spent more time with her family, instead of saying that her older kids were great babysitters, Bristol would have a chance to grow up before she starts her own family.

it still doesn't explain her 3 days of leaking amniotic fluid and putting her unborn child in danger.The whole thing sounds hokey. She is a wreck waiting to happpen. Obviously McCain was not thinking with his brain when he chose her. Nancy

That is one of the hardest things to hear from your child. It doesn't have anything to do with what was taught to their daughter. Things are sometimes out of your control as far as your children, you should all know that if you have teenagers. This doesn't make Sarah Palin and her husband bad parents. They are parents that are dealing with a situation with their child. What does this all have to do with politics?? Ever hear of he who is without sin throw the first stone?? Attack that is all I see anything that moves!

High school child getting pregnant where were the parents? What were they teaching? Is this the type of role models we want in the White House?

I can't believe the comments I'm reading! It's wonderful to know that all of you judging this family raised PERFECT children who NEVER made a mistake or went against the values you tried to instill! Talk about hypocrites - cast not the first stone....

I'm sorry people, but no one's perfect. I'm sure most of the people writing these comments have had some mistakes. Yeah, It was wrong to have premarital sex, but it is a really good thing that she's going through with it and not having an abortion! And none of this has to do with palin. kids rebel.
