Is it mortifying if you were pregnant and 17 years old to have your picture splashed on every TV Channel?

Question

Why are the Democrats so Evil and mean spirited to this Innocent American girl

Answer 1

Communists use children in wars. What do you expect from democrats?

Answer 2

It must be mortifying.  Why didn't her mother consider that before accepting the nomination?  

Answer 3

For any of us to have our lives thrust on to the national media to be dissected would be mortifying!   While I was reading some of the questions and comments related to the Palin family this morning I received a call from my youngest daughter telling me that she is in labor with her first child.  I am sure that Governor Palin and her family are in full support of Bristol and that's what matters, you cannot stop small minded individuals with little to do from running their mouths. One would hope that they would stop long enough to ask themselves how they would feel if this were their family, but the nature of politics today would prohibit it.    Thank you

Answer 4

They know what they are getting into. All politicians know that we are watching them all the time. It's annoying, but part of the job.

Answer 5

that's the press. not the Democrats.

on the other hand i do believe it may be relevant to some of Palin's policy's on s*x education. if absence can not work with a teenager with a stable upper class family what chance dose it have working for the rest of the population.

Answer 6

I would think so. People are just heartless.

Answer 7

I'm sure it's just as bad to have your dad exposed for cheating on your mom, like John Edwards.

In both cases....it should have been reported though.    They are PUBLIC FIGURES and put themselves into that position willingly.

Answer 8

Oh well... maybe Palin is so selfish that she did not care that this would happen to her daughter.  I mean you would have to be naive to think that this would not happen.

I guess Palin was okay with exposing her daughter like this... she may not love it but she decided to accept that this would happen.  Palin could have declined the offer and would have saved her daughter from this.  She decided to take the offer instead... She knows her daughter better than any of us.  Maybe she felt that her daughter could take this... or maybe she didn't care about her daughter's embarrassent.  Only she knows... but you can not tell me that this is the fault of the media or the Democrats.  This would not have happened if she was not playing with her bf without any precautions.

Answer 9

It is WRONG to say Democrates are evil. All Medias and bloggers love this kind of news. She will become a celebrity like Brittney' Spear's sister, to get pregnant in teens. More teens will becomes pregnant, if no s*x education are introduce in school.

Magazines sell likes hot cake and people, whether Democrates, Republican or Indepences, love to read gossipping news like this.

  

Answer 10

I doubt that it bothers her.

Answer 11

I know it kinda sucks...this girl was just a regular pregnant teen in this world, now the stupid media is making sure she is known...hey there is a first for everything.

First possible African-American President

First possible Female VP

First possible pregnant teen in the eye of the government area...

Its 2008, get with the program America!

O yea, in other words, they don't have to keep bringing up the fact this girl is pregnant. She's making the right choice to stay with the father, later marry, and keep this baby...good for her!

Answer 12

PUH-lease....

And I suppose if Chelsea Clinton had gotten preggers the Repubs would have been "decent" enough to not talk about it?

It makes me wonder about Palin.  If she accepted the VP nomination and she KNEW her 17 yr old daughter was pregnant, what kind of judgment can she have?  She had to have known that people would talk about an abstinence only supporter with a underage pregnant daughter for VP of the Repub party.  Did she not think about it, or did she not care about her family, or what?

Answer 13

This is America in the new millennium.

What does it do to the myth that only African American teenager single females have unprotected s*x?  

Teenage innocense is being challenged.  How sympathetic and understanding should Mainstream America be to all single teenagers who become pregnant?

Answer 14

Sensationalism sells and the family of those in the spotlight are really fair game for the media and anyone else who wants to take a jab....

Palin should have thought of her daughter prior to accepting the nomination...what kind of person would subject their family to this kind of scrutiny?

Not one that I would want in the White House.

Answer 15

1. that American girl is not so innocent if she is having s*x with no rubber and no birth control (let me guess it was one time and her first time, lol)

2. Democrats don't run T.V. if we didn't you would never see anything but Obama (what are you a child?, that is to say Democrats run the internet)

3. Sorry, but no 17 year old child or "girl" should be having a child. This 17 year old pregneat girl would not be on t.v. if her mom was not running for V.P.

If anything it shows how Palin is not a good mother, how could she still run knowing her baby is going to have a baby?!?!

Answer 16

its ur own fault

Answer 17

They think it is going to help their candidate win. It is going to hurt him, especially with the Black female vote. How many single black teenage mothers are their out there?  

Answer 18

o it was horrible every one kept making fun of me and they wouldnt let me be  

Answer 19

Your mothers political opponents are no Mother Theresas.

Any excuse for "free" lessons from life itself. at the expense of a political opponent at the same time?

Two birds with one stone

Answer 20

It was cruel and inexcusable. They acted like a pack of wild dogs and I hope they are ashamed of what they've done.

The ones here blaming the media need to take responsibility for their part. The worst of the trash was on the internet.

Answer 21

Yes.

It plainly shows the amount of sense and compassion you will get with Democratic "leadership" isnt and different than anyone else.

Answer 22

The Democrats are the lowest form of life, They would sell their mothers for a vote, They have no morals and no respect for women,All they want from women is the vote, then sit down and shut up.

Answer 23

Do not judge someone until you have walked in their shoes for three days.

Answer 24

Yes, because we all know that the Democrats are the ones that control the news networks

(sarcasm)

Answer 25

Don't blame the democrats--it is the media who is doing that and I am sure there is a good mix of both Democrats and Republicans working in the media.  And I did hear Obama say that children of candidates should not be brought into the election so get your facts straight before you point that accusatory finger at one group of people.

Answer 26

No pictures of you GETTING pregnant being splashed on TV would.
