I'm incredibly un-excited about McCain, so this seemed like a move in the right direction. However, as I found out more about her my excitement waned. One of my biggest sources of frustration is the out of control breeding that is taking place. Nobody NEEDS 5 kids, I can see having 1 or 2, but beyond that your just adding more people to the world who really do NOT need to be here. The last thing I want is yet another person clogging up traffic, wasting natural resources etc. On top of that, she gave her children ridiculous names. We better not let her name anything as VP...we could end up with a Discus Library, or the State of Javelin. The worst thing though is this pregnant daughter. I don't care if teenagers have sex really, its going to happen and no amount of "parenting" can really stop it. However, she couldn't teach her to be responsible about it? That's where I draw the line. Get the kid on birth control and tell them to use some darn protection!

I do not know you personally and should not assume how you would treat your family in the event of an issue such as a teen pregnancy.

Next time you're in the Tyler area, stop by for some shooting followed by a taste of my homemade wine. You can even meet my wife and 4 children and see for yourself what kind of family we are. My 8 year old son might outshoot you on the big rifles, though.

Nice. Thanks. When did this become about me, anyway?

If the announcement of Bristol's out of wedlock pregnancy was intended to combat the allegations about Trig, why not just make a statement denying the allegations? I'm struck that they have not come out and just said that Trig is Sarah's baby, period. Why not just face your accusers and make a firm statement?

McCain chose Palin in order to appeal to socially conservative people. I was excited about her candidacy, and I gave her the benefit of the doubt regarding the Trig allegations. But to have a 17 year old daughter become pregnant out of wedlock is simply bad fruit, and nothing has been said to indicate that a mistake was made, or that what the young woman did was wrong.

Any excitement I had about Palin is gone, and I can't be the only prudish conservative out there with the same feeling. I wonder if McCain's goal of reaching out to conservatives has backfired here.

They have no character and can not stand those who do.

Don't be so general in saying the left can't stand those who have character. We've had several high ranking republican officials go down in flames lately because they seemed to have character but it turns out they don't.

I'm not quick to judge anyone, I'm just saying the evidence on that site seems convincing to me. I hope I'm wrong.
