Most 17-year-olds are “minors,” and are treated as such.

Obama on Palin

Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown reports: At a press avail in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama on Palin: “Back off these kinds of stories.”

“I have said before and I will repeat again: People’s families are off limits,” Obama said. “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 a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics.”

On charges that his campaign has stoked the story via liberal blogs:

“I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us,” he said. “Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired.”

Wait… they dont use fact and evidence, just loose connections and BS rhetoric to meet their agenda.

I’d continue but I will just sit back and watch the Dems and their ‘supporters’ in the blog world keep pushing the crap to the main stream media and destroy themselves into losing the election… again.

Keep it up Demmys! Keep it up!

I can’t believe that you would equate sujecting an infant to a paternity test to Franken releasing his tax records.

Your a peice of shit!

I think the biggest points in Palin’s
favor is what she is not:

*not a good ol’ boy corrupt politician
*not a DC senator
*not a DC congresswoman
*not a stale, white-bread male

and especially-
*NOT A LAWYER

LMAO!!!

As opposed to the EEOC internship the head of your ticket has? … Palin is far more qualified than Barak Obama. Good luck hypocritically playing the “experience” card. LOL!

How so? Shouldn’t a wife beater who tasers his son with state equipment and threatens to kill his ex-wife’s family be fired?

There’s nothing compelling about it. It’s not even curious.

More of the Democrats’ true character exposed.

The only question is whether or not their over-the-top Hollywood glitz from Obama’s sermon will overshadow the true character of their party that has now been exposed.

“Let the tabloids haul this manure.”

WOW!!!! AMAZING!!!

Let’s see how long it takes for the “She was wearing a pregger suit”

Maybe the guys over at the Daily Kos watch Desperate Housewives too…. Didn’t the hot red head do the fake pregger thing to protect her daughter who was really pregnant?

……

Let’s start a new one for the other side…

Obama Lied… He was seen buying a case of shoe polish!!!

Few are going to latch on to trooper gate. Many, however, will take notice of her far right social beliefs (teaching creationism, for example) and her less than two years of any relevant experience.

what puts a damper on this story is that the conversation of the aide was recorded by the state patrol, but how did it get released? by palin’s office.

making the assumption (based on what is out there now) that palin wanted a better image of the alaska highway patrol and she probably despises the ex-brother in-law, how could any reasonable person disagree when you know the brother in-law acknowledged using a taser on his step-son, drinking in a squad car and threatening his spouse?

not sure what your research netted though, things seem pretty good for Captain Madia right now.

Ha. No wonder he’s blowing through his money without doing a thing.

You all throw out allagations against Franken and then demand that he present his accountant to disprove your theories. Why is asking for a paternity test on the miracle baby any different?

Speaking of Paulsen, is he even still running for Congress? Not attending events, not even a press release since early August despite there being a reporting period and a debate since then.

I know he got beat in both fund-raising and the debate but I would have thought he would at least try and spin.

If you are going to associate everything a blogger does, even when not publishing for said blog, then should we say that Erik Paulson’s spokesperson wrote this post?

what the polls tell us at this point in time is not necessarily who will win, but that the race is up for grabs. two months ago it was expected to be a landslide for bho. job well done mccain!

And the photo comparisons don’t help a bit, either:

Of course, the latest comparison of Palin to Obama is not helping the Obama team.

In her first national press conference, she lied to the American people. Y’all impeached Clinton for that. Seems to me, the easiest case for McCain would be to cut his losses and go with plan B.

If it WERE true – absurd as that’d be – it’ll resonate with a hell of a lot people from the “my life has thrown me a zillion curveballs” constituency – which crosses all age,gender, race and economic classes.

So lets assume this ruse was going on. The ‘evidence’ Daily Kos delivers is the family photo and the daughter looking preggers.

If this was to be kept under wraps there are far more concealing shirts to have the daughter wear to hide the baby bump than that one that enhances it and have her suck in the gut. Look at the other family photo and the daughter has a little extra in the tummy as well. For an elaborate conspiracy and shame to the Catholic school they went about hiding it poorly.

Ask the photographer, where is he? He spent time taking the photo and makeup people? The depths and dirty nature of this and that back in April or even 9 months prior to that was this junior politician have it in the grand plans to hide this for the VP run?

Of course on the other side, McCain and the GOP just randomly pick someone with no research and background digging to ensure that skeletons like this one don’t exist before making the decision… instead of the Left way of doing things and pointing out one thing and making it fact I would like people to look at the whole picture and timeline and there is no way this is nothing more than a smear.

……
So let’s look at it that if it was.

So what? Like thousands of American families this situation happens. She is a devout family woman who loves her family very much and stood by her morals and standards. She could have aborted this in total secret and swept it under the rug and no one would be the wiser. But no. She brought a life into this world, one with a defect, and is throwing herself in the front to protect both the new baby and her little girl. She acted as a loving mother, a loving human and showed more character and strength by doing this than anyone in Washington today.

Good for her if this is the case! Make me pull the lever harder and faster than before for her!

God bless!

What I say on my personal Twitter account has nothing to do with MNpublius. I wear a lot of hats.

What is the real intent of this thread? Does this needs topic need such a spotlight for MDE’s readers?

So by calling the rumor “Super Sad”, are you saying that those who spread the rumor are a bunch of sad sacks? Or are you sad about the notion that Governor Palin (supposedly) lied about the baby?

Would it be “sad” if she DID raise the kid? I think it’d be a sign of character, if it WERE true.

Oh, and did the crack journos at the Kos get any photos of any pregnant Palin daughters or sons’ girlfriends? Because I dunno if have kids, Aaron, but that’s kinda a prerequisite.

You are pushing this rumor and you should be embarrassed. You are attacking a mother and her child. You called the rumor “amazing”…you really should be embarrassed. Just because a million people are talking about it, doesn’t make it right.

The fact that millions of people are pushing a disgusting and mean spirited “rumor” about Gov. Palin’s child is appalling. What’s worse is that you’re participating in spreading the “rumor.” Mnpublius should be above board not in the gutter with the daily kooks.

You’re using this as an excuse to ban me from commenting here.

i went from probably voting for mccain while holding my nose to sending him a check last friday when he announced palin and listening to her speech. if she can hold her own against biden, she will become a political force, not only for this election, but coming elections.
if she flops against biden she will be relegated back to alaska which would also be okay because she is a drill now, drill here person. the one thing i would like to hear is why the press thinks biden is such a great debater? i certainly never have seen that and the libs have not seen it based on their votes for his presidential aspirations.

first the photo they showed was a “long shot”; second, the baby was born early.

i hope kos and friends continue this; mccain might actually win.

Again, I’m not surprised you care about pushing this one around about Palin.

I’m not surprised you’re trying to push this rumor though.
