Bristol Palin and fiance Levi split

Bristol and Levi Break Up -- She Gives Back Baby!

http://notionscapital.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/bristol-and-levi-break-up-she-gives-back-baby/

Why should anyone be surprised about this?? I wonder if druggy Limpbaugh and Fox Lies and their stooges are going to report this?? Maybe the 'hockey mom' will have something further to tell us later, eh. There's much more to that entire family than meets the eye.

This is only a story because Sarah Palin herself turned this into such a key component of the campaign by hiding the pregnancy and then marketing Bristol as a model evangelical teen mom.

At least the baby will still have Levi genes.

I wish her luck. She is a miracle worker; she got the entire Republican party to embrace premarital teen sex, and not just for Republican Congress critters! To make such a change in the wacky christianist party is an amazing act.

Regardless of one's politics, you have to .... ~ F.J.
-----------------------------

It would be great if the media, and the political carnivores on either side could just pull back a little and leave the young adult / non-adult kids out of the grinder. The pre-emptive 2012 destruction of Sarah Palin that predictably follows the post-2008 destruction of Sarah Palin can proceed without including her young family. There should be a few limitations to restrain the collateral damage to the family of a targetted public figure. Well, just a Southern thought.

Let's hope both Bristol and Levi return to high school to get their diplomas and then perhaps on to higher education so as they BOTH can support their baby.

An unfortunate situation that was aggravated by her mother's narcissistic quest for fame. Bristol had been appraised of the young man's lack of commitment before this became a media item. Her Mom dragged her out on the political stage and had her go through the charade. The unfortunate thing is that this young lady is trapped in a situation where her mother needs her to care for her mother's last child and this will stifle her from becoming her own person.

That is the tragedy of this situation.

Not surprised by this at all, as you said. I hope Bristol gets her diploma, then goes on to higher education. It's tough to be a teen mom and I wish her and her baby all the best.

I also hope that the kids finish their educations and that Levi plays an active role in the babies life.
Second, This is certainly not going to help Sarah Palin's long term political goals. Bristol has contradicted everyhting that Sarah has been pushing. The public at large may hold Sarah responsible for difficulties that Bristol is encountering. Being a social conservative icon requires your life to reflect he views you push. Being contradicted on abstinence and having an unwed teen mother certainly don't help.
The country will not accept a "Do as I say and not as my family does."
Overall, I think Bristol is actually better off. No need to get stuck in a bad marriage just for the image.

Is anyone surprised? A fabricated engagement put together for the benefit of Palin's political campaign. Once Palin lost, there was no more pressure on Levi to marry Bristol.

Yet another example of the bible thumpers hypocrisy. These redneck evangelicals live in a fantasy world of their own morality. However, the real world always comes through.

Bristol recognized her Palin's hypocrisy on sex education. Levi is just a 19 year old know nothing who figured he could knock-up whoever he wants with no responsibility.

Pretty typical family life as found in the lowlife redneck states. Think of any red state and you'll find elevated high school drop out rates, lots of out of wedlock pregnancies, high unemployment, corruption and tons of bible thumping preachers who decry liberals as evil incarnate. Meanwhile, their own folks wallow in all of the 7 deadly sins.

What's the matter, Levi?

Did you sneak a peek at the DNA results and find out soemone else was the daddy?

Who could that be?

Wow, Janstress at least has something constructive to say, unlike the rest of the Loony Lefters spewing their hate and vittle against a couple of teenagers.
Why is it that the media protects children of Democratic politicians but loves to attack and molest children of Republican politicians?
Uh, Matt, Palin did not hide the pregnancy nor did she make Bristol a part of the campaign. The media and the Left (one and the same, really) did make Bristol a part of the campaign. In fact, they made all the Palin children a part of the campaign.
We have two teenagers here, who were in love and perhaps still are, who made a mistake. It is difficult for teenagers to foster a long-term relationship and child at that age. But, the baby will still develop in a loving, stable household. That is what is important, not some childish, moronic attacking by the Left and media.

I am conservative, and GOP, and did vote for McCain Palin. But I have to agree this engagement was a sham from the get go to cover up the abortion. I am ticked at McCain for pretty much blowing any chance of a win by picking this lady who is as inexperienced as Obama for his VP

Bristol,
Good riddance re. Levi.
Good luck re. your life.

Palin and her family deserve to have their personal lives made public every day for the rest of their lives because Sarah Palin dared to oppose the Chosen One. Seriously, does anyone reallly give a rat's ass about Sarah Palin or what her family is doing? Give it a rest. You lefties usually have short attention spans, but Palin seems to be sticking in your heads. Wouldn't you rather complain about Rush Limbaugh? I think he is on the air right now railing about Obama. Whine about him. As opposed to Palin, he actually invites it.

Frank, your completely wrong to write an article about this young girl.

I can understand going after Sarah Palin but not her family.

So lets get critical. Pres. Obama admittedly abused cocaine which you can say added to the Mexican drug war.
You have BLT, a racist church. Pres. Obama, M. Obama were either stupid or believed in Write.
You have Rezko, a slum lord, doing special deals with the not yet Pres. Obama.
You have Ayers, I wonder when he is going to plant more bombs because of Pres. Obama, sending more troops to Afghanistan.

Now these are all public figures, and I know nothing about their families, WHY NOT?

Oh yeah, people who refer to other people as rednecks, is making a racial comment. Their also calling them white trash, to be fair, I'll start using white trash when talking about white people, and black trash when talking about black people.

PG, that is total nonsense. Really, your post doesn't even make sense. There's an arguable point that we don't want the media imposing on those kids and I agree, but the rest of your post is nutty; what are you talking about?

Let's just remember that it was always the Replicans who put themselves up on a pedistal as paragons of "family values".

Bad Dems were morally inferior and degenerate.

You remember those days, right??

Not so very long ago.

So, when Replicans hoist Miss Sarah up to lead their morally superior family values friendly campaign, well, just expect a little push back.

In fact, I'm surprised there wasn't more pushback.

Levi by all accounts had some scurrilous web page in which he boasted of his drug abuse and other colorful activities.

Which happened to include getting Miss Sarah's little girl preggers.

Do you seriously think after years of Replican posturing as morally superior "family values" type of folk, you were going to field a candidate like that without a little push back???

Oh, I forgot to mention; I'd still bang er.

You now what Flo, try answering my nonsense instead of a general answer, "nutty".

The point is cheap shots at innocent kids, by the media is what it is, cheap.

The other examples are of people that don't seem to popup like an innocent kid of Sarah Palin's.
I guess you don't read the other posts. I take offense at stupid remarks about say, Limbaugh and his pain medication addiction, and yet the same people give the President of the United States a pass for taking illegal drugs, COCAINE. When did he take it? How often did he take it? Does he still take? Who did he take it with? Where did he buy it? Who did he buy it from? Where did he get the money to buy it? Oh that was in the past..... OK so was Limbaugh. And I'm not sticking up for one side, especially Limbaugh. I believe he can fight for himself, just being fair, but when a kid and her family gets attacked like this, then I get protective.

Summary: If your going to continue to attack one family, then there are a bunch of others out there that deserve it more. Slum Lords, domestic terrorists, race baiting churches, and racial remarks AT whites is OK, but not blacks.

PG,I understood the point about the kids and said so. The rest of your examples are totally irrelevant to that point, unless you're calling Bristol white trash (and Bush got a pass on his drug use as well, so drop it). Don't try to explain, we obviously don't think alike.

PG, there's another post on the swamp today attacking John McCain's daughter for admitting she didn't take econ in college. Yet none of these swamp reporters even ASK the president of the united states why it is that he and his treasury secretary release contradictory statements that drove our markets lower and directly hurt our economy. We know where their priorities are.
Oh, and swamp, I think its REALLY low of you to allow "ornery's" post. That's really just beyond offensive and, sadly, typical of the angry left in today's political discourse. I doubt the people who allowed that to see the light of day can take enough showers to ever be considered clean again.

Geez, Liberals. There are those days when your nastiness and meaness has no limits.

I surely do not believe that the 3:55 p.m post in this thread belongs to John D. John E., very possibly, but not John D. Geez Liberals, Do you not possess any minimal level of decency? Frank James, a little help. Please.

Posted by: PG "Summary: If your going to continue to attack one family,"

So where's the attack????

read 10:15am. Don't try and turn my words around about trash. To me 10:15 is trash.

Geez Django.... what about the non liberals, which include John D and PG......... you sound like Jeff; if a liberal says something it's over the line; if a righty says it, it's okay?

More love from the party that gave you Jesse Jackson and John Edwards.

This is all my fault! I'm a Godless socialist liberal who raised Bristol by proxy. If my husband and I had been paying attention to our own daughters I'd be a grandma now too! Instead they went off to college on scholarships and graduated without so much as a speeding ticket.

I hope they fail. Oops they already did! Wah Wah

Flo,

I do not believe that the 3:55 p.m. comment belongs to John D. What is there to stop someone from saying something asininely stupid and attaching someone else's name?

Bristol Palin ~ not even 20 yrs. old, and certainly not running for anything. That asinine 3:55 comment belongs to someone with some serious issues.

Pre-Obama, a liberal could, in theory, buy a one-way ticket to anywhere in the World, and anywhere they ended up, would be better than wherever they were. I of course don't really get that. From there we have to descend to the name callin' stage. It just strikes me that the 3:55 comment is far more subterranean than any of this, because it had to have been made by a Sarah Palin / Bristol Palin Hate-er too reptilian to use their own name, alias, or whatever. Not one of us Wingnut Nuts. Regards.

Oh, OK PG; But "10:15" makes a lot more sense than you.

I agree with you Django; but I don't know whose comment it is, other than it says what it says. Are you really Django?

Flo,

Absolutely. Viernes, guitarras, pL's on this day, a cold March day, to nicely set the mood. The CK song that I was thinking about last week was "It's Too Late". Absolutely me here.

I,at times, may regret something that I may have said or written, and I am a poor excuse for a Catholic, but I still fear Sister Angelica 40 years after the fact. I also did spend a mostly miserable 5 years at a college that had / has a strong honor code. IF it is your thought or comment, then it should be your name appended on the end. That's how I roll. I don't believe that was John E. A first time reader through all of this Bristol Palin business would not know that. Regards.

Flo, My error. I meant Not John D. John E, very possible. John D, No. My errata.

Not surprised: Would not have thought you would have thought anything less.

Since the “first family” concept has been forcibly shoved down the throat of Alaskans lately, and since Bristol Palin has recently granted an exclusive interview with Greta Van Susteren at Fox News, and since Governor Sarah Palin did a “pop in” and participated in that interview with her daughter and grandson for national release, AND since the topic of this interview was teen pregnancy, and in particular Bristol’s teen pregnancy, I’m assuming that the “kids are off limits” thing is over.

How is this a “Do as I say, not as I do” situation? Teaching values doesn’t mean everyone listens. Children aren’t born attached to their parents’ cerebral cortexes. If you have teenage children, you know they have a mind of their own. The fact that Palin’s daughter didn’t listen to her mother doesn’t mean Palin hasn’t lived by her own rules or that she doesn’t believe the message herself. So, tell me, where’s the hypocrisy?
.
Furthermore, abstinence isn’t the only message she tried to convey. She was also trying to say that disobedient children still need love and acceptance, and that babies need to be welcomed and cherished even if they aren’t born under the best of circumstances. She gave birth to a downs-syndrome child herself.

Django, I'm sorry It's Too Late, but you still make the earth move.......

Oh god, keep this family out of my living room! I do not want my children to grow up like them. Perhaps our childern should know OF the Palins, but we should definitly teach them to not BE like the Palins. Maybe some required reading about the Palins in sex ed class would be approrpriate.

Wishing the best for all the Palin babies- Trip, Trig, and Turd.

Good Luck!

Flo, I wish, but I don't think that I can place too much of a claim on that Carole King tune. ' Tapestry' was a great Carole King LP, but my favorite would probably be 'Fantasy'. It has an adult-like interpersonal relationship theme very nicely interwoven throughout, and has generally spoken very closely to my life. Even neocons have hearts. Mi Corazon. Good memories there. Regards.

I never saw them going down the aisle. When they didn't get married before the baby, it was pretty clear they wouldn't get married after. Palin said Bristol "chose" to have her baby. It was probably more like her mom "chose" for her. It's too bad Repubs can't recognize that when it comes down to it, each woman has to make that decision for herself. If men had babies, abortion would have NEVER been an issue. It would have been a RIGHT. Just ask Michael Steele -- he just admitted it in GQ and then had to furiously backpeddle. Remember when Dan Quayle admitted that if his daughter were raped, he would advise her to have an abortion? I do. Just accept it people, we each have to have domain over our own bodies!

Oh O, who’s young Bristol going to the prom with now?? And who’s going to baby-sit poor little turd while his mom’s at the prom? Not the crack-head grandmother I hope!

Fox really should pick this up at a sitcom. “They’re creepy and they’re kooky, altogether spooky…. The Palin Family”

Okay -- if Bristol Palin has an child out of wedlock and raises it, and does not marry the father, does that make her one of those unwed mothers whose children populate prisons everywhere and are causing the country to fall apart that Ann Coulter keeps talking about? Annie says: "single motherhood is responsible for — I mean, they are victimizing their children by raising their children without fathers. It’s about 70% of the prison population, 60% to 70% of future unwed mothers — of murderers, of rapists, of juvenile delinquents, of teenage runaways. You could — you could, you know, you could solve many of the world’s problems, reduce all of these problems by 60% to 70% if women would just get married before having children."

So is the newest Palin just prison bait? Maybe, for the good of society as a whole, this child should be taken away from Bristol and put up for adoption in a god-fearing TWO-parent Republican nucular hetero household, like god intended. If she's allowed to keep this kid and somewhere down the road somebody gets killed, it's Bristols' fault, apparently. You heard it from Ann Coulter herself.

The Big Question: Is Levi going to pay child support?

For both liberals and conservatives on this blog, no one seems to question Levi's responsibility in all this (of course assuming he is the father).

Our society conveniently blames the woman, leaves her alone supporting the children. They should garner Levi's wages for the rest of his life.

The big eye opener for the Republicans and Christian right is that this is a WHITE couple. Just think if Michele Obama's daughters did the same thing as Palin. OMG, the racist Republicans would have a field day.

That's why this election was so ironic: Black couple in stable relationship, Harvard educated vs. white couple, 2x divorsed (McCain), and children getting pregnant out of wedlock!!

This is why Sarahhh is such a devastating secret weapon in so many ways.

Cross over subliminal appeal to voters from what they view as the Dem majority--fatherless households, breeding ground for delinquency etc. etc.

Brilliant, Karl!
