Palin's Pregnancy Problem
Washington Post ^ | 1 Sep 2008 | Sally Quinn

Posted on 09/01/2008 4:38:24 PM PDT by Mr Rogers

My first reaction was shock. Then anger. John McCain chose a running mate simply because she is a woman and one who appealed to the Republican's conservative evangelical base. Now, with news that Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant, McCain's pick may not even find support among "family values" voters...This may be a hard one for the Republican conservative family-values crowd to swallow. Of course, this can happen in any family. But it must certainly raise the question among the evangelical base about whether Sarah Palin has been enough of a hands-on mother.

Read Quinn's drivel, then read the comments. I'm not the only to notice that Sally Quinn has NO understanding of religious people, although I gather that is supposed to be her specialty.

In fact, she doesn't seem to know much at all...

All the pleas from the Obama camp to keep wives and families out of the fray notwithstanding.

They’re throwing anything they can find to see if it sticks.

As if this is a surprise to Sen. McCain?

The left is really grasping at straws as they know that Palin can destroy them in November. Imagine ALL those Hillary voters leaving the plantation. Keep trashing this woman.

And funny, ANYTHING they say can and will be used against Obama (whose out of wedlock mother had him at 18 years of age)

How dumb. They like to believe their opponents are sexless and that nobody deals with shotgun weddings.

Well, that makes them weak and well as simple-minded.

Gimme a break.

“This may be a hard one for the Republican conservative family-values crowd to swallow.”

This author has no idea at all about ‘family values.’

I guess her view is to get your daughter on the pill and send her with your platinum card to the mall while you go to the spa.

The daughter’s pregnancy has no bearing on a principled voter.

Did Sally have kids? I think she married the old boy for his looks, but it might have been to raise a family.

Oh, Sally. Save it for the DC cocktail party chatter. Or did your invites dry up?

This is so pathetic. It just goes to show they don’t have a clue. They are digging themselves very deep holes and sooner or later people are going to see them for what they are...

There is no problem here. Obama would prefer his daughter have an abortion, rather than be “punished with a baby”.

It was intended only for the Obama-Biden people, not for Republicans .....

This only solidifies her support with conservatives and evangelicals. Stand by your family and embrace/support in good times and bad.

The kids messed up. They’re trying to make it right. Her parents, and probably his, are trying to help them.

What problem, exactly?
