Why did Palin subject her daughter to this?

Question

why did she accept the VP job knowing the scandal would destroy it all for John McCain?

Answer 1

She knew political bigots would try.

She also figured, correctly, that it will ruin the image of the Democratic party as being pro-women forever.

The Republicans now have that role.

That's not what I fought for as a Democrat, and I find it contemptible that it has been done.

Patriots (regardless of party) vs. political bigots (regardless of party)

Answer 2

It is what it is..she's promoting s*x and irresponsible behavior for a young woman...how can you possible have a VP like her??? please! yes it does discredit her!

ok Knotolia..what you are talking about is apples and oranges..Obama's mother was unwed when she was pregnant with her..but the point is no one was running for office when that happened in his family...you are so stupid ..it's irrelevant..you can't even compare that...you are so stupid!

Answer 3

Good question

Answer 4

good thinking katey

Answer 5

WHY DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN FAMILY ISSUES?

Answer 6

She is a self important loser.

The Repubes are desperate!

What a joke!!!

Answer 7

Answer 8

What makes it worse is that on his first executive decision McCain put politics first, there is no way that Palin is the best choice the GOP has for a VP. More so when we are talking about the eldest presidential candidate, the decision is reckless and sad

Answer 9

i think it was a very selfish move.  its not as if she just found out about her daughters pregnancy a few days ago.  she has known, and common sense would say that if you are accepting a vp job your entire life is giong to be picked apart by the media.  she put her career above the well being of her daughter.  i find it to be dispicable.

Answer 10

Subjecting your daughter to democrats ought to be a crime.

Answer 11

Blame McCain's people--they had no real response ready.  And they probably never should have chosen Palin to begin with.  If they wanted a woman on the ticket, there were plenty of much more qualified Republican women from which to choose.

Answer 12

i can't understand that either..why would anyone want to be their daughter's teenage pregnancy out there for the whole nation to hear

Answer 13

The media is trying to destroy McCain.

One of the millions of Bitter Hillary Clinton Supporter voting for McCain.

Answer 14

i dont really know sadly its all just so bad that shes the focus point on a crucial election

Answer 15

Her judgement is questionable as well as McCain's, because now the girl is all over the tabloids. Scandolous.

Answer 16

Bristol Palin's privacy is non-existent as a result of Sarah Palin's choice to accept the nomination.

I hope it was worth it. Had it been my daughter, I wouldn't have done that to her.

Answer 17

Because she was thinking more of herself, instead of her kid's feelings - just being selfish, plain and simple!

I would sacrifice my job and any career advancement to protect my children - most normal mothers would...

Answer 18

/ Probably Palin's daughter is a tough as she is.  Just watch Palin rip Biden's head off in the debates.

BTW - Obama was conceived in November 1960 by his unwed mother aged 17.

Answer 19

If she loved and respected family values she would never accepted the ticket to this campaign. But money, fame, and power apparently was more important. The only one majorly affected now is her own daughter.

Answer 20

Counting those chickens I see, this will pass and just make her, her family, and the Rep party stronger and tougher to beat. That is why the Liberal loons and idiot Dems are scared.  

Answer 21

If I recall correctly, it was you liberal leeches who brought this on Bristol. Oh and by the way, thanks for uniting the conservative base. We're going to come out in drives baby.  

Answer 22

You mean the media. The liberal media is repeating the story over and over again. Notice it says nothing about Obama's mom getting pregnant at 17 by a married father,  and breaking up a family?

Answer 23

thats why she's a hypocrite... i don't care that her daughter got knocked up but the fact that she preaches family first, then knowingly puts her own daughter through all this says a lot.

Answer 24

Let's see first it was Sarah Palin is a horrible Mom because she has a daughter who is a w***e and got PREGNANT.  Now Sarah Palin is a horrible Mom who was asked to run for vice-president of the United States and chose to go for it.  She's horrible because she didn't think the media would hound her daughter this much.  What's next she is a horrible Mom because she has a child with Downs syndrome or some other equally stupid thing.

The only horrible people I have seen so far have been you libs.  Acting so sanctimonious.  When the s*x involves the President of the United States with a young intern we are just supposed to ignore it, after all it is just s*x but when it is a republican candidate or a member of her family then it is just terrible.  I am already sick of you two-faced liberals.  She has the support of her parents and she did not choose to kill her child. How many of you would be brave enough to do the same?
