The truth of the matter is SARAH PALIN is not qualified for VP. Yes, her daughter is pregnant and if we look at statistics the rates for teenage pregnancy are higher for those in single parent homes than two parent homes. How many times in a day do parents neglect to talk to their children and really find out what their feelings are. Although, Bristol is raised in a two parent unit it is obvious that one cannot give their children adequate attention because of that position. Maybe, this was a cry for attention and help on Bristol’s part. The bottom line is she is pregnant, teen pregnancy is a major issue in our society it is not right but how are we going to address this issue. Palin wouldn’t know where to begin on any issue, she has only made decisions on a state level. It is easier for a mom that has 8-5pm job and come home and see her kids and still interact with them especially when your child is handicap and let alone a infant, she may miss his first steps, first word, etc if she was VP and if McCain could no longer operate in the office as Commander in Chief then Palin would have to take the lead. HOnestly, she is not ready, if McCain wanted to pick a woman (thinking it would get the HIllary votes) that is fine but choose someone with experience. I thought that was McCain’s entire argument agains Sen. B. Obama. I think this decision to choose Palin was a poor decision and proves how decisions would be made in regards to our country. A mother should protect her children, it does not mean put your career on hold, but a question should come up “where did or what could I do differently as a parent” maybe “Time” would have been her answer. Both of my parents work but they gave my sibling and I time and affection, I was not trying to get attention or feeling the need for love because they were there. Sarah Palin should continue as governor and gain more experience. She is not ready…daughter pregnant or not! Obama 2008…YES WE CAN

That whole birth certificate thing was absurd in the extreme. Teenage daughters from either campaign should be off limits period.

and I guess those that insist Senator Obama is not an American even after the release of his birth certificate aren’t scumbags. All this woman has to do is release the medical records, end of story.

and I could care less if her teenage daughter is pregnant again, none of my business.

But I give you the question as Jake Tapper asks it:
“What if this was the teen daughter of Michelle and Barack Obama?”

I wouldn’t say that people are being hypocritical. They’re just stating the facts. Palin is supposed to have conservative views and last I checked that included being opposed to people having babies out of wedlock. We’re expecting her to be the 2nd person in charge of leading our country when apparently she can’t lead her family – at least not in the direction of her (supposedly) conservative values.

HOW MANY OF OBAMA’S CONSTITUENTS ARE SINGLE MOMS?
You know the Obama speeches about how fathers
need to be responsible and not abandon their
children’s mothers. What hypocracy for Obama’s
attack dogs to now smear Palin’s family for their
daughters pregnancy.DAILY KOS ARE SCUM BAGS !!!
All you small minded people who are crucifying Governor Palin over the question of her fifth child, are just fueling a vicious smear campaign. Besides, if you want to exhibit your holier-than-thou attitude … why don’t you get even more angry at Obama, Michelle, and their children, for spending 20 years in an anti-American racist church, as well as associations with Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, etc.. These facts are much more relevant to the next administration, than the possibility of a loving mother taking the heat to protect her child and grandchild.

I see no difference in the Palin’s proving or disproving this story with all the twists and turns in the narrative than Obama sharing his birth certificate with the non believers.
