What was it Obama said in his acceptance speech: "In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. You're on your own." You know, teen girls should make sure their parents are affluent or Republican governors or influential born-again Christians before they get pregnant. If they don't have good enough judgment to do that, well, then, tough for them.

Mutainia: "She doesn't want people paying for someone's fornication miss-hap? Doesn't want people paying for someone doing the wild thing out of wed-lock?"

You do realize that her own daughter falls into that category, right? You don't have much compassion do you? Or perhaps you do, but only for her family. I guess the other wild things didn't have enough sense to have rich parents.

I lost respect for her when she put her own child in front of the public fire about a private matter. I feel she used her daughter keeping her pregnancy to show how anti-abortion she is to attract more anti-abortion voters. She admitted she was PROUD to become a grandparent of a teen high school unwed mother. You can't tell me this woman didn't know what people would say especially when she is for abstinence and vetoed public funding for pregnant teens. Also for this woman to mock community organizing that help others is disgusting. What a nitwit. She trashes Hillary then turns around and tries to get her voters. She doesn't deserve to allow the words Hillary Clinton and the glass ceiling to come out of her mouth.

Today's news is that Sarah Palin is a HO who had or is still having an affair with one of her husband's business partners. Apparently there is also a pregnancy involved. That said, it's more relevant now that that Down's Syndrome baby be DNA tested to see who it's REAL parents are or at least they should release it's birth certificate. It's no telling what's going on with this dysfunctional family.

McCain couldn't have possibly checked these people out first. There is too much dirt coming out on a daily basis for them to have been properly vetted. They're out there cleaning up MySpace pages where the little teenage boy (who they CLAIM fathered the girl's baby) has said he DID NOT WANT KIDS and parading this supposedly 5 month pregnant teenage girl headed for a shotgun wedding in front of the whole country. This is just PATHETIC! We don't need this trashy soap opera playing out in the damn White House! -
