Why should we care that Sarah Palin's teen daughter is pregnant?

Question

I think this is only distracting people from important issues. I don't care if this makes Palin look good or bad. I feel she should have kept her family issues at home. Sarah is trying hard to keep people from remembering that she's not qualified to be a Vice President AND she's under investigation.

Answer 1

This is the daughter's second baby...the first was her "brother." These people are weird. Here's the story of how Sarah covered up for her daughter's first pregnancy (with the Down's Syndrome baby) and then gets stuck with a second pregnancy almost immediately, (If she is pregnant at all at this time?)

Answer 2

Because it's standard Republican hypocrisy, they want to preach to others and stand for "family values" and want to force abstinence down our throats.

Maybe Palin should practice what she preaches.

Answer 3

Because it is their only counter,

To Palin, having more elected executive and political experience than Obama.

Just what does Palin's daughter getting pregnant,

Have to do with Republicans or Palin, talking about family values ?

Palin, didn't get pregnant at age 17.

Answer 4

the only people concerned with this are the Obama supporters that are desperate to bring the GOP ticket down because in a year when they should have far more support for their party the race is a dead heat.

Answer 5

Clearly, abstinence education doesn't work. Americans understand s*x scandals.

Answer 6

She IS qualified to be vice,and she WILL do a good job.She doesn't take any c**p from anybody.It doesn't matter what her personal life is,as long as she does the job.She will get drilling oil done on our shores,and she will stop all the shenanigans going on in the whitehouse.She will repair the problems we have.You democrats woud like nothing better for Obama to win,I know.He's a scumbag,they call the Whitehouse the WHITEhouse for a reason!

Answer 7

The thread originated on the dailykos.com. Could these morons be more vile and disrespectful? Slander and liable are not speech protected by the first amendment. I cannot wait for the day when someone finally sues the pants off the dailykos.com. It is one thing to attack Sarah Palin, she chose a career in politics, but to attack her minor children is just disgusting. This is just the same kind of vile attacks the uber-liberal demoncraps threw at Chelsea Clinton (who by the way was not running for office) during the primaries. I'd love to see one of these "bloggers" grow a pair and say something like this to Gov. Palin's face. I'd love to see one of these "truth seekers" provide evidence to support their claims. George Soros should have his visa revoked for funding the dailykos.com.

Answer 8

Katie, I could not have said it better myself. No one we would care but  since republicans are such huge hypocrites themselves and hold everyone else to ridiculous unrealistically high standards that we find it amusing that the republican VP nominee's daughter would get knocked up out of wedlock while they preach conservatism.
