      But that doesn't involve tax dollars going into politicians pockets does it? No? Unlike the Ted Stevens scandal in which Palin is tangled.

      A little different.

      Oh...and Biden doesn't teach a class on business ethics does he? He doesn't advocate that businesses use "abstinance only" when merging? No?

      Then obviously this story is a 'non-story.'

        Oh yeah, a mothers pregnant daughter is a story but Biden's son is a non-story?

        I know I know it's 'different' he's a Democrat.

          It's not the daughter's pregnancy that is the story. It's the possibility that the mother tried to cover up the fact that her daughter had a baby out of wedlock. In today's society it would not be a problem for a daughter to have a child out of wedlock but as in Nixon's case, it was the cover-up that was the crime. In this case it's the cover-up that is the story because it's been rumored that Sarah claimed the baby as her own to save embarrassment to her and her family. Whether it's true or not, it's not the child that's being questioned.

            No one cares about Crisco or whatever her name is. We care that cons are trying to steal votes by pimping Palin as the best thing since Tom Delay when she couldn't get her own daughter to delay spreading her legs until after high school graduation. Kristall is a disgusting harlot, to be sure but she's not the one running for office--her extremely poor role model of mother is and cons make me sick always trying to trade on their imaginary moral superiority. Like the rest of the GOP, Palin's going DOWN this fall. Btw, has anyone asked Miss Alaska what she thinks of that creepy looking, drug addled witch Cindy McCain's skanking around with John before he was divorced and stealing him from his first wife? I wonder if someone will ask her that. ;-(

            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.

              You guys are grasping at straws because Biden's sons are grown men in business for themselves. McCain receiving money from lobbyist is a concern because he is running for president.
              http://mccainslobbyists.com/
              So if you're going to throw stones make sure your presidential candidate isn't living in a glass house. Of course he doesn't even know how many houses he owns. LMAO The senile old fool.

              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.

                No commet, just negs, huh libs?

                Btw, I still have had no response from any of you regarding my inquiries as to some samples of Obama's college or law school writings or his grades. Still nothing about Obama's mother's family, are there any of them alive in the United States.

                Liberal democrats know more about Sarah Palin after just 5 days than they know about Obama after more than a year. I think that should be a problem for them but they continue plow right ahead with this unknown empty suit. Strange behavior, to say the least.

                    How about McCain's grades in the naval Academy? Lowest in his class and they're worried about Obama's grades where he had no one to help him like McCain and Bush but Obama still did better than they did.

                  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.

                        Palin's daughter is not running either. I did commend Obama when he said Palin's private life should be of limits.
                        With that said, Palin preaches conservative values, is pro life, is against sex education, those issues do need to be discussed.

                          Steal from your partners? Is that one of them there liberal values?

                          so...when it comes to Biden, family isn't off limits?

                          and before you start in with the bristol palin stuff, know that my concern around bristol palin's story has to do with sarah and todd palin.

                          because the time line that the GOP has given us tells us that bristol palin got pregnant while she was supposedly very sick at home with a horrendous case of mono (6 mnths out of school).

                          sure, Bristol Palin is a minor, didn't know better, etc. she's young. I get that. no problemo. its happens.

                          but it begs the question: what were sarah and todd palin thinking?

                          they let their daughter be sexually active while she was at home recovering from an obviously debilitating and contagious sickness, and that shows very poor judgement on the Palins' part.

                          the other, ironic part of this story is that Palin voted against funding to help pregnant teens.

                          so, for me at least, I have no problem with Bristol Palin's pregnancy. but how she got that way was obviously due to poor judgement on the part of her parents, because they let it happen under their own roof while thier daugter was very sick. and that topic is certainly on the table.

                            Joe Biden 'allowed' his sons to steal from their partners or in the least gave his blessings?

                              YES I do know this as a fact. because thats what the GOP said.

                              pay attention:
                              the time line being given to us by the Palins and the GOP says that at the time Bristol Palin got pregnant, she was at home, extremely sick with a horrendous case of mono. now, if she's too sick to go to school for 6 months, where else would she be? (unless her parents are even more negligent than we thought and let her run around contagious while not attending school and being extremely sick)

                              so...
                              either the Palins are negligent at parenting their daughter, or someone is lying.

                              which one is it?

                              and where is your proof that Joe Biden 'allowed' his sons to steal from their partners or in the least gave his blessings?

                              or is this where we cue the crickets?

                              you've got one sitting on your shouders.

                              use it.

                              see how easy that was?

                        "A son and a brother of Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, The Washington Post reported, citing court records."

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