    That isn't the only thing Biden's son is involved in
    No wonder Biden made the following statement when asked about incolving Palin's tennage daighter in the campaign:
    "With regard to the stuff that you’re talking about, I have a simple proposition: children are off limits. Children are off limits, he said to applause. We’ve all been through things with our children. Just treat people with common decency."

    Here's another dtory on what Biden's son was involved in:
    Credit card company paid Biden son while father pushed for bill the industry wanted
    A son of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was paid an undisclosed amount of money as a consultant by MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware, during the years the senator supported legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups.
    Barack Obama's presidential campaign said Biden helped forge a bipartisan compromise on the measure, which is now law and makes it harder for consumers to obtain bankruptcy protection in the courts.

    MBNA's consulting payments to Hunter Biden, first reported by The New York Times, followed his departure in 2001 from the company, where he had been an executive.
    Obama opposed the bankruptcy law, enacted in 2005, while Biden supported it.

    I don't know Bristol Palin getting pregnant just doesn't seem to be on the same level as Biden's grown who are now being accused of defrauding business partners and influence peddling. Note: the influence being peddled is Senator Joe Biden's, apparently. No, I don't think this is a hands off the candidate's children issue.

    Very interesting article. Of course the big media will not cover this one, since it does not help them with the theme that Obama ....uh I mean Palin ... is unqualified.

      Bieden's son is not running for the candidacy of President or VP.
      Nice try.

      Right. Now if the son and brother were the same individual, it could be the Palin family.
