Bristol Palin: A Bone To Pick With Obama Over Gay Marriage

[Grizzly]

The left simultaneously applauds Obama for taking the advice of a child while criticizing Bristol's opinions because of her youth.

Oh, I thought we were criticizing Bristol Palin because of her poor life choices. And the fact that the only reason she has a national platform is because her mom was famous for killing the presidential campaign of John McCain.

It seems more that she has a national platform because she became a target of attaks from some of our liberal friends during the campaign.

At any rate, she's handling it well and making very good points.

She became a target when her grizzly mama dragged her onto the national scene....

But we may differ on the many things (including things in this thread) but she does make a good point about the stupidity of using personal anecdotes to make public policy. I hated it when Michele Bachmann did it with her mysterious story about a girl she heard of that developed mental retardation from the papiloma vaccine, and I hate it when the Dems do it too. And personally, I think the Dems do it more often too.

Seems to me that it was Palin's liberal opponents who dragged her onto the national scene.

Sarah got married on August 29, 1988. Her first-born, Track, was born on April 20, 1989. I smell a shotgun wedding. So much for no sex before marriage.

My, my, my, isn't that SPAAAAISHUUUL!

Oh, give me a break. What a crock. Do you really think anyone here is stupid enought to buy that? Really?

Implying unmarried pregnancy isn't a poor life decision? Or maybe you actually believe Palin helped out McCain's presidential run? I just want some clarity is all, since I don't see how either of those are untrue in this case.

Hmm. Do you really think she gets criticized by The Left solely because she's young? Now THAT would be a crock.

Bristol Palin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When Sarah Palin was chosen as John McCain's vice presidential running mate in late August 2008, his advisers already knew of Bristol's pregnancy, which they believed would be a political liability.[2] On September 1, the opening day of the 2008 Republican National Convention, it was publicly announced that Palin was pregnant and engaged to Johnston, the father of her unborn child.[7] Palin's entire family, along with Johnston, appeared at the convention.[7][57] McCain's advisers reportedly thought a wedding between Johnston and Palin would boost the waning popularity of the McCain-Palin ticket.[2] Johnston denied claims that he was being pressured into a shotgun wedding, stating, "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid. That was the plan from the start."[7]

She was thrust onto the national scene by Republicans at the same time of the Republican convention. The the nattering class on the Right immediately began applauding her decision for "choosing life". She was dragged onto the national scene by the GOP.

Sorry, but before that announcement some of our liberal friends had accused Sarah of lying about being the mother of Trigg and that Bristol was actually the mother.

Before the convention, I don't think anyone knew who she was. Except for a handful of people in Alaska.

It was well known that she was being considered as VP candidate and she was announced as the candidate prior to the convention at which time the rumors began to fly about Bristol almost immediately.

Bristol Palin -- are you kidding me?!?

And just when I thought the American partisan political silliness had reached its absolutely rock bottom, in charges this, what, 21-year-old know-nothing single mother-cum-unwed (reality show?) teen mom & daughter of a once-upon-a-time political hopeful from Nowhere, Alaska.

It was well known, eh? I guess we will all just have to take your word for it.

Not to mention that she was announced prior to the convention and the rumors started to fly right away

Obama should listen to this seasoned authority on political matters.

You posted it.

Everyone is entitled to his opinion, yes? Those already in the limelight get to speak to issues in the limelite... I don't see where her opinion is any less of one of say a movie star giving an opinion of foreign policy.

WARNING

Exploding Irony Meter Zone!

The left simultaneously applauds Obama for taking the advice of a child while criticizing Bristol's opinions because of her youth.

Because of being an unwed teenage mother with no father for her children.

Keep up.

It's always embarrassing when someone decides to air her ignorance publicly.
