Her daughter's pregnancy is a private matter.

for a pro-abstinence, pro-life, pro-evangelical, this is simply unacceptable.

Pro-hyprocrisy I would say

Obama Says Palin Pregnancy “Off Limits”

Barack Obama addressed a gaggle of reporters this afternoon to discuss the latest goings-on with Hurricane Gustav. After brief opening comments on the much-hyped, overly politicized hurricane, reporters were curious about one thing: 17-year-old Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, made public today.

“I have heard some of the news on this and so let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits, and people’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics,” the Democrat said forcefully. “It has no relevance to Governor Palin’s performance as governor, or her potential performance as a VP. And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories,” he continued.

The candidate who himself was born to a teenage mom, reminded reporters, “You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and you know teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off limits.”

When asked about an “unnamed McCain advisor” accusing the Obama campaign of spreading despicable rumors surrounding Bristol Palin online, Obama interrupted the reporter mid-question. “I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us,” he said directly. “Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I ever thought that it was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that - they’d be fired,” he added.
With that, Obama boarded his airport-bound bus to head to Milwaukee for a rally.

GOP Establishment Wrestles With Bristol Palin Pregnancy

The Politico) The early response among Republicans to the announcement that Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of GOP VP hopeful Sarah Palin, is pregnant, has been calm and collected, although it has definitely raised concerns for rank-and-file Republicans that more unpleasant revelations may soon follow.

Responding to Internet rumors that Bristol Palin had given birth earlier this year, and that Sarah Palin had claimed the child was her son Trig, the McCain campaign released a statement saying that Bristol Palin is currently pregnant and plans to marry the father.

Republicans have either taken the line that Bristol Palin's pregnancy is a personal matter for Palin and her family, or they are suggesting that it is a situation that lots of normal Americans can relate to, either from their own family history or that or friends and classmates.

"I don't think this is going to be a big deal down the stretch" of the 2008 election, said a top House Republican aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

"It's nobody's business but the Palins," added another Senate GOP leadership staffer.

But it does create a level of uncertaintly about Palin, among Republicans and the media, and that can be a huge negative for Palin's candidacy. Combined with Troopergate, the allegation that Palin fired the top Alaska state police official because he refused to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a trooper.

"Clearly, yes, absolutely," said a GOP strategist when asked about whether Republicans were afraid more negative stories about Palin would emerge soon.

"Palin can get through this, but what you don't want is a level of uncertainty about her, about whether she should be on the [Republican] ticket. That's not a good thing for any candidate."

For someone meant to attract evangelical votes. For a party that a religious hypocrites living holier than Thou.

This is a real dent. Moreover she has been nominee less than a week.

Former beauty pageant. Waiting for news that she posed nude or slept with judges.

or a pro-abstinence, pro-life, pro-evangelical, this is simply unacceptable.

Pro-hyprocrisy I would say

I have a question for you two here. What exactly is the hypocrisy here? Why do you think evangelicals are going to see her as a hypocrite? I really do not understand how two adults can arrive at the conclusion that this announcement meaning Palin is a hypocrite or the republican party as a whole are being hypocritical in this. What are my missing here?

Ynot:

Are you sure McCain is not the father of that baby?

Abortion can only take place after fornication or sex. How do you condemy the secondary sin of abortion without condemning the original sin of fornication. How does a 's policy be abstinence (and anti-abortion if the daughter is raped), yet the daughter is pregnant. Kids in America needs a more complete sex education - abstinence, birth control and prevention.
Infact, the Palins need to keep their legs closed. This same girl just had a baby in April, and if you check properly she is 5 months pregnant again (April to September).
In order to cover this mess, these hypocrites are about to force a child into marriage

@Kobojukie
In simple terms, this is the hypocrisy in the matter:

Abortion, we all agree, is morally wrong. Abortion can only take place after fornication or sex. How do you condemy the secondary sin of abortion without condemning the original sin of fornication.

EmekaNaija:

How does a mother's policy be abstinence (and anti-abortion if the daughter is raped), yet the daughter is pregnant. Kids in America needs a more complete sex education - abstinence, birth control and prevention.

EmekaNaija:


Infact, the Palins need to keep their legs closed. This same girl just had a baby in April, and if you check properly she is 5 months pregnant again (April to September).

EmekaNaija:

In order to cover this mess, these hypocrites are about to force a child into marriage. According to US laws, The impregnator should be in jail for fuc-king a minor. Nobody is talking about that because her mom is a governor. Instead, she is being forced into marriage for political purposes. If this isn't hypocrisy, i wonder what else can qualify as one.

EmekaNaija:

I still wonder when the Evangelical standard became the accepted Christian standards. As far as i'm concerned, such Evangelicals as Dobson would be pretty surprised to see themselves in Hell, if they do not repent.

Btw how old is the boyfriend?

age of consent in Alaska is 16.
