Palin family values

This is a plus. As Mark Steyn points out in his recent best seller, America Alone, if our western civilization is demographically to survive in the increasingly “hostile to the west” islamic world — and not end up like the sinking European populations — these are the precise people (the Bristol Palins’) we should thank for increasing their progeny.

This is cr@p never the less.. has no place in politics and could have easily been avoided… Kick this ticket to the curb like it belongs.. White House not White Trash… Vice President not a mom… I dont want hypocrites running the white house anymore period.. the funny thing is she wont have time to be a hypocrite, VP, and mom all at the same time with her “Family Values”… I wonder which she will pick.. this woman is stepping out this week you can count on that

How sad for a 17 year old to be thrust into the national media concerning a very private and personal matter. Sadder still that an ambitious mother of a pregnant 17 year old decides to expose her daughter to the media blitzgrig so that she can run for vice president. If she did, indeed, know prior to today's announcement, if she indeed, knew while she was getting vetted, she should have passed, simply stating that her place was with her family now !

I feel sorry for Palin's daughter who has been put through this media hell by her ambitious mother. Where are Sarah Palin's family values? There is a crisis at home with a new born with Downs Syndrome and a pregnant teenage daughter. She should never have accepted this nomination.

Personally, I wish America were discussing the rising power of China on the economic, political and military fronts. http://www.tibetanphotoproject.com

what do you bet that she steps down shortly for “family reasons”? its the only way for McCain to recover from this mess.

This is Bristol's second child. The first (currently identified as her brother for political purposes) has Down's Syndrome. Hopefully, this pregnancy will have a better result.

I'm baffled. Hollering hypocrisy would be the understatement of the year. What the heck are Republican “Family Values” anyway? I pride myself in not being judgmental but here I go… I agree, with a crisis at home, why did Palin accept this nomination? Why does McCain criticize Obama's inexperience and then jeopardize America's future by NOT picking the MOST qualified and most ready VP in case he kicks the bucket? I'll answer that one. Politics as usual, he wants to win. The decisions made by McCain and Palin tell me I do not want them making any decisions for me or America.

This will prove once and for all that to continue on their divisive “better than thou” family values charade is hypocritical grandstanding.

Leave the kid alone, but don't leave the Republicans alone who mouth empty platitudes that they don't follow anyway.

failure to exercise due caution
LOL!

If Palin really had family values she would not have accepted a spot on this ticket. She has a newborn baby with special needs and her 17 year old daughter is due to have a baby in 4 months. She's basically going to have to raise twins and she decides its best for her family to have their mother on the road campaigning and then possibly serving as vice president? I fail to see good family values in this situation.

McCain's not a conservative.

Conservatives don't tear things down: they try to conserve them.

Conservatives don't try to work the system.

Conservatives don't attempt to invoke the wrath of others without just cause.

Conservatives value things like the Constitution, ethics, and morality.

Conservatives care more about the process than the results.

These are the marks of a conservative, and McCain has failed on every one of them. He's not a conservative or a liberal; he's a fascist who appears interested only in continuing Bush's legacy of disintegrating the country at the Constitutional level. Corporations should enjoy some protections for wealth, but there also needs to be enough left over so that the poor can work into wealth. This is a conservative value. Bush has rejected it. McCain appears to be rejecting it, too.

This is no longer a matter of conservatism versus liberalism: our nation is on the brink of collapse, and people want to focus not on fixing the system, but which candidate's daughter is pregnant. I think this is a sad state of affairs. It must change.

Pregnancy is hardly a crisis or life ending event, it is shameful that life is viewed that way.

Do you all quite your jobs, or prospects there of, when home life gets challenging? If so, I'm glad you're not running!
