Well news is out that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant that she intends to wed the father of the child. Good for her! We all make mistakes and we can learn from them. But imagine your mistakes being broadcast on international TV for the entire world to know!
Children of politicians should be off limits! The antics, not that this is an antic, of our children have no bearing on the kind of job she would do as VP. I will admit she is an amazing woman. Raising five kids, and one with down syndrome, and running the state of Alaska as well. Good for her.
So who cares about the daughter! The left came out right away and started flapping their gums about it and they should be ashamed of themselves. We are talking about a 17 year old girl here that is not a public figure. Back Off!
Hear, hear! Well spoken!
You GO FATHER………….could not have said it better myself. In fact Senator Obama agrees with you !
Obama had the good sense and the gallantry to rise to Palin’s defense immediately in this case: “Let me be as clear as possible, I think people’s families are off-limits, and people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president.” Sadly, Republicans were not as gracious and charitable toward Chelsea Clinton during her family’s problems.
One wonders, however, if this development has had any impact on Palin’s or the GOP’s insistence on “abstinence-only education.”
I agree Fr. Peter. Bravo!
just because children make mistakes it does not mean palin is a bad parent. the fact that the daughter came to her parents told them she was pregnant and wants to marry this man shows she has good moral values and understands how to handle problems in an adult manor.
has far has the democrates go even they are not in love with the clintons any more. anne
Fr. P.: I’m glad to see that she’ll keep her child. Children are a gift from God, the only Creator that I know. Motherhood is not meant to be easy for the single or married mom. But, their is no way to describe the joy. It is scary enough, so lets do our job and protect and uplift her, and pray for this young mom.
