ramos937, I agree with you that a child needs it''s mother, but both mother and dad full time looking after it is not possible for anyone, someone has to bring home the bacon.
I do believe and studies have shown that men are just not up there with looking after babies, they have their other areas of expertise However having said this, this woman has obviously worked things out, her family is all doing well, and a pregnant daughter doesn''t mean that she has failed, it just means that like so many other people that she has made a mistake, but if she had two or three etc children to different fathers then I would be jumping up and down..
I don''t personally believe that children should be left with someone else until they are at least 5, but Mrs. Pulin seems to be managing it well, and seems to have the energy, money and help that most of us don''t My husband is one of those rotten people who seems to have boundless energy and gets done three times what the average person does in a day, it makes me so tired eheheh.

Thanks to Republicans, there''s a $10 trillion debt out there, poised to enslave our children, who would be paying for Reagans administration, among others.

Servicing the debts interest payments is now the SECOND LARGEST CASH OUTLAY the Feds make, after defense spending: $300 billion a year basically to convince the rest of the world that we aren''t bankrupt.

And McCain wants those tax cuts to be permanent??? To my mind, thats a permanent enslavement of an entire generation of young Americans. And all because, at the end of the day, ''small government'' Republicans don''t mean it. They''ve bought into a lie that they want small government, but even with EVERY BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT UNDER THEIR CONTROL, they don''t cut spending, cuz they know that would cut in to peoples gov''t services and livelihoods, and would cost them votes. So they KEEP ON CHARGING IT to the children.

Deeply, horribly, unethical.

Palin has one unwed teenage mon-to-be and a baby with downs symdrone. Both need her at home especially the baby. Various tests, studies, experts and ordinary parents maintain that if the baby was to receive patient and continuous help starting with infancy, he would enjoy a much better quality of life. Since the father will not do it, the it is up to the mother.
Both still, both will be needed on a full time basis to give the baby wheat he needs. They chose to have the baby and now they have to commit to providing everything he needs. Including a full time mom and dad.

News Reporters Peter Hamby and Rebecca Sinderbrand just reported the following:
"Sarah Palin did not visit troops in Iraq, a spokesperson for the Republican VP nominee confirmed Saturday, as new details emerged about the extent of the Alaska governor''''s foreign travel".
"(In addition) earlier, campaign aides confirmed reports that Palin''''s time in Ireland on that trip had actually been a re-fueling stop" . . . (not for international business transactions as earlier reported).

Ok Im back with fresh batteries in the LIE detector.

You know what - I wonder whether Tina Fey''ll try this core-Dem line of attack tonight on SNL . . . parody Palin in the Oval Office with a barfing baby draped over her shoulder while Putin''s on a conference call or whatever.

And I wonder whether Repubs''ll have more ammo to go after NBC on the line of attack that they''ve got a partisan ''agenda'' that ''denigrates'' the competencies of women or whatever . . .

Ought to be interesting!

Personally, I am sick of her name already and I do not even live in the U.S. of A. She oozes a supercilious attitude and projects an image of, "I am woman, therefore I can do it all, why can''t anyone?"
What goes round, comes around Sarah Palin.

The whole world needs to be afraid of a woman who belongs to a nut job Pentacostal church. Have you ever seen these lunatics rolling on the floor speaking in tongues? This is the person you want to have a hand on a nuclear trigger? You ugly hateful neo-cons only see the party winning or losing. YOu could care less for right or wrong, benefit vs harmful. You are all full of krap.
