So now freepers think it’s ok to just sleep with whomever you want and figure out later if they are up to your standards.

I couldn't support a candidate for President who did that. Could you?

[nclaurel]

But can’t be there for his daughter. I appreciate his service but he needs to work on morals.

Actually I think this is exactly what this is...

I respect Meyer’s service and admire him for the medal. He can endorse whoever he wants. Not sure how much weight it would normally carry—not sure would get so much fanfare endorsing a candidate tho if they had not had their former (almost) mother-in-law endorse their candidate’s number one competitor. I could be wrong, but I think it is Meyer’s association Palin that draws as much attention as fact that he is a Gold Medal Recipient.**
Beck did something similar. Beck does not like Palin and absolutely Hates Trump, so Beck went out the day after Palin endorsed Trump and he endorsed Cruz and went on the stump for Cruz.

Gee, this article came from Beck’s website—wonder if Beck was more involved in this than merely reporting a story...

**As an aside, Bush claims to have endorsements or support from 27 generals—I appreciate their service, but they carry no weight with me in supporting a presidential candidate.

As I understand it, Dakota suffers from some PTSD problems, and also that he lied to her about his previous marital status . It appeared he may not have ever been legally divorced from his first wife and Bristol found out somehow. Never heard more about it.

How does one win the Medal of Honor? Is there a raffle?

[xzins]

Sorry about that other copy/paste. I really screwed something up big time.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A Medal of Honor winner is seeking joint custody of the child he had out of wedlock with Bristol Palin, a former reality television personality and daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Dakota Meyer filed a lawsuit against Bristol Palin in Alaska Superior Court on Monday seeking joint custody of their child, Sailor Grace Palin. The child was born Dec. 23.

See #47

I heard the previous wife and unresolved marriage, too, but never heard what came of it.

[magglepuss]

I didn’t know Dakota was running for president. Are you trying to say Trump ran out on a pregnant girlfriend. Post link. By the way, didn’t one of Cruz’ big stumpers for him run out on his family? You know his dad. This really would be a family issue, and not a campaign issue, but I am so sick of the double standard with the Palins and Trump.

[GodGunsGuts]

Your link is incorrect as far as I can tell.

[GodGunsGuts]

From what I am reading Bristol says he is not the father, and forced him to take a paternity test to prove. Not sure what happened after that.

[xzins]

“Seeking joint custody” means he’s willing to do a paternity test, and it also means he thinks it is his kid.

[Hot Tabasco]

Soldiers past or present, politicians past or present, hollywood starlets past or present, and hollywood actors past or present do not influence my choices in who I vote for in politics.........

[21twelve]

You left out the part where the commanders in the rear told Meyer NOT to go into the village to rescue anyone.

So we have a guy that disobeys orders saying that he likes Cruz - just great. /s

It was a gutsy and brave and right thing for Meyer to do. Maybe HE was the one that first said “Hey - I didn’t come here to go along get along.”

A new reality show?

No incorrect link. I did not provide a ilnk.

As per my post, I copied a paragraph from Wikipedia...Dakota Meyer entry.

But just so you can find it...I took the time to look up the Wiki link

Disregard first posting of this reply—I am trying to do multiple things.

No, not an incorrect link. I did not provide a ilnk.

You don’t win the CMH, you earn it. If you are fortunate, someone sees what you did and writes it up, and if you are even more fortunate, you live long enough to attend the award ceremony. That there are those here who would disparage that speaks volumes.

[BykrBayb]

Thank you. That always bothers me when I hear (or read) that somebody “won” the Medal of Honor, as though it’s a prize.

[magglepuss]

Actually, it’s not just the culture. It used to be that people were considered adults and married around 18 to 19 years old. But, as a society we encourage people to wait til their mid to late 20’s to marry, and then say don’t have sex. This is unrealistic.

I don’t have an answer to the problem, maybe someone else does. However, once someone is pregnant, you don’t run out on them.
