Why is it considered a "smear" to ask the very simple question "Did Gov. Palin give birth to her fifth child?"

Why is that question so hard to answer?

What does her 17 year old daughter being currently pregnant have to do with anything? Just another distraction.

Save all the "appalled" posts, and just answer the simple question - is the baby yours Governor? This should be an EASY rumor to refute . . . so why hasn't the McCain campaign produced any SOLID evidence?

P.S. Barack Obama has been asked to "prove" he loves America . . . so don't act like being asked questions is something new . . . it's part of running for President.

So you would assume that if she wanted abstinence education in school, she certainly taught it to her daughter.

How'd that work out?

She should really rethink her position considering her daughter's current condition...

When we live in a world with so much info available for our children (yes, sometimes too much), I want my children and grand children to have these available to them. That's the choice we have today. People like Todd and Sara don't have the kind of openmindness I am will to support. I respect their opinions tho!

Abstinence statistically does not work. Here is another example.

Well perhaps she should have enrolled her daughter in a more comprehensive sex education course. What kind of MOTHER is this-- not that she has a teenager that is facing a major life challenge and that she has a 4 month old with Down's syndrom and all of the issues facing her family. But that when asked to join McCain on a grueling campaign, open her family to scrutiny and certainly NOT be there for her family during this time is ridiculous!

This is embarrassing and I now wonder if John MCain has Dementia..... does he really want to be President?

Of course she did. She is a republican!!
Further proof the the republican party is
totally out of touch with reality.
Unwanted pregnacies happen to many, so am
not saying anything to hurt, point fingers
at her daughter.
But, perhaps a condom could have prevented this?
Whoops, sorry pubs, used a dirty word.

...and see how well that worked in real life, Sarah. I tell you, my parents did a great job raising me, but nothing kept me safe more then the sex-ed pictures in 8th grade of STD's. That was in Alaskan public schools, I might add. You can preach abstinence, but that other stuff works too.

I'm one of that 90% approving Sarah's job in Alaska, but she never presented herself to us as a strict social conservative, we liked her for other reasons. Now she's doing nothing but preach how religious and holy she is and it's making me kindof nervous. I guess Alaskan politics don't translate well to the national stage. Can't we ever just talk about our fat federal budget and how 8% of it is interest on our national debt for a change? We could cut income taxes in half if we had no national debt... I'd say that's a bit more important then whether you go to church 4 times a month or 3.

If Barack Obama had a daughter of child bearing age who was pregnant but unmarried during this campaign, we can only imagine the horrific commentary the right would be ginning out at this time.

This hurrican is the ultimate for the Republicans. It gave them a weak excuse for Cheney and Bush not to speak or appear. It allowed them to bring out the news of Palin's high school daughter being pregnant and her husband having a DUI (while blaming the liberal bloggers) and the press does minimal reporting on it.

**HeadDesk** idiot, idiot, idiot. Also note her response on the pledge of allegiance as DailyKos as already pointed out. She doesn't realize that the pledge was not created by the founding fathers.

IDIOT!

That didn't turn out so good now, did it? What kind of selfish mother would put her daughter in the national spotlight like this? And what kid of presidential candidate would knowingly apooint a VP like this on the basis of "conservative family values"? She clearly failed as a mother. If she couldn't take care of her own kids, how is she going to take care of this country? Is the msm going to ask these questions or are they too scared?

Not only does she promote 'abstinence', but it looks like she also promotes TEEN MARRIAGE.

Getting pregnant can be an in-the-moment mistake. But getting married too?????

Now, that's a terrible, terrible mistake.

-----------------------------------------------------

Now, go check out how Sarah Palin did NOT say 'no thanks' to the bridge to nowhere.....After the funding (from Washington) was drastically reduced--(and 'the bridge to nowhere' had plenty of bad press)-- the bridge could NOT be built.

There was not enough funding to do the damn bridge!!!
