Is Palin using her daughter as leverage to gain in the polls?

Question

Why would she subject her daughter to this? Why run for office if you have a downs baby and your own child is pregnant. Why marry your daughter off to a self proclaimed "redneck" who on his facebook its filled with profanities and in the facebook he clearly wrote he doesnt NOT want children. Would you marry your daughter off to such white trash. All for the gain of the mother. Sad and people are blind and like sheep if they believe in her.

Answer 1

I thought the fight for women's rights was about a woman to be able to choose to work if she wanted?

Why is it convenient for her opponents to mock her "family values" for her pregnant daughter yet not expect her family to help with their household and share the load?  The logical end of your argument leads to taking women out of the workplace and putting them back in the homes and letting men only get jobs.  Is that what women fought for?

As far as anything with the father of young Miss Palin's baby; he should have thought of all of that before he took his clothes off.  To actually HELP a Democrat argument here, maybe Republicans shouldn't have mocked Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders in the 90's for something everybody does but nobody talks about (do the research on your own).

Think about what you are saying.

Answer 2

Amen!

Answer 3

NO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS ABSURD...SHE IS A WOMAN OF MORALS THATS ALL ...IM SURE IF YOU HAD A DOWN SYNDROME BABYS YOU WOULD OF GOTTEN RID OF IT BY YOUR LOGIC

Answer 4

Tell me about it! Only confirms that Republican sheep DO exist (and in large quantities).

What a sad, sad, situation this is turning out to be.

Answer 5

GEEZE! first I read how people are saying she's a horrible mother and blaming her for her daughter's pregnancy and now she's leverage for sympathy?

Bristol's pregnancy is a family issue and it is not the fault of the parents. It is her CHOICE!

Answer 6

if she had good morals her daughter wouldnt be pregnant at an underage??? are you serious? what has her daughter being pregnant at a young age have to do with her morals? you wanna talk about morals..what about the fact that obama thinks its ok to kill unborn babies?  you cant be with your kids 24-7 all you can do is teach them right from wrong and hope and pray that they will do right,she is making the right decision by not aborting the baby..you who are without sin cast the first stone...

Answer 7

Yeah, sure.  This trashing by the biased media is all Palin's idea.  Sheesh.

Answer 8

YES - and it's sick!  No normal women and mother would EVER put their child through anything like this....it's one thing to have to deal with a teen pregnancy, but WHY humiliate and embarrass your kid just for your own personal gain......so selfish!

Answer 9

  What is more of a shame is forcing them to marry.  The guy on his my face page says he doesn't want kids.  He is 18 of course he doesn't want to get married and have kids.  What I wonder is if they are forcing him to marry or go to jail for rape.  

Answer 10

Leverage in the polls??

According to the Gallop poll,

Obama: 50%

McCain: 42%

Answer 11

Why did Obama take his kids to a radical ,thug church,mah man. d**n!

Answer 12

Obama moved ahead by 50%. People are finding out what this woman is all about. She wanted to remove s*x ed from the schools program. Can you imagine? And she is so moral her daughter is underage and pregnant. Like the other person stated and yourself, she is having her underage child marry a guy who on his facebook page he has said he doesnt want children and apparently its filled with swearing and such. So she marrying her off to save her campaign because yes you can say leave the children out of it. but her daughter is living proof that keeping children blind and ignorant only increases stupidities and unwanted pregnancies. If you think s*x ed CAUSES young people to have s*x you are WRONG. You people have ALWAYs had s*x its just more open today. And maybe if you went after the media, magazines, movies stars, singers maybe if we become like the AMISH then things will change.

Answer 13

No This just Happens everyday you see Products or Dysfunctional Families and Broken Homes, Except Her's was Exposed like Jaime Lynn Spears.

Answer 14

Personally I really don't care about her family problems. I believe there is a distinct difference between gossip and election issues. That being said, her corruption investigation and the fact that she was up until recently a member of a secessionist party is a legitimate campaign issue.

Answer 15

It is nothing wrong for Palin to run for Vice-President with a baby with disabilities or a daughter who is pregnant all of that is part of life unfortunately she is going through this.  I am not voting for her and McCain, but I think people should leave her family out of it.  When it comes down to whether she is using her daughter I think to a certain extend she is using her to get people to see how she is against abortion, but do we know that she has always felt this way about abortion?

Answer 16

IMO, this is an example of MOST American families today!  Where have you been living.  The daughter & future son in law made an error in judgment (which isn't the first and won't be the last), why shouldn't a powerful person go on with their life?  What makes a person less qualified for a VP position if they have a down syndrome child?  You are a sad example of human nature.  Sarah Palin was an excellent choice for McCain.  It only sealed my choice for President.

Answer 17

Um... no... I don't think so... I am sure she is doing it to show how much of an open book her and her family is... AND to squelch rumors made by Dems.

Answer 18

Yeah I agree.She may be using her daaughter to make people feel sorry for her :/

Answer 19

no the DNC-COMMUNIST MEDIA made a HUGE issue out of this...as far as Sarah is concerned, she is pro-LIFE (which includes a son with challenges and a grandchild that will be born into a young household) KNOWING that the PRO-DEATH and the RADICAL LEFT would rake her over the coals for her consistency...it's called having CONVICTION and FAITH in her God...something you CAN/WILL not understand...

btw: WAIT until you find out what that DRUNKEN ABUSIVE b*****d of a Alaskan State Cop was doing to Sarah's nephew with the taser...(you won't have the courage to apologize for your jumping to conclusions though)...

Answer 20

I could say the same thing about Obama, except with real evidence and sources.
