McCain knows damn well he did not know this woman's daughter was pregnant. It's sad because her mother along with the rest of the GOP think republicans are the epitome of moral values...if this had been the other way around, the republilcans would have been all over the democrats.....then reports are saying that the baby Palin is claiming to be her son, is really the daughter's baby....the baby has down syndrome and sad to say....is it because Palin's husband or the older brother is the father....I'm not republican and I'm upset with John McCain for choosing this woman as his running mate....I don't care how the GOP tries to dress this up, this woman has no business in politics...then the GOP is stupid...listening to them got Bush looking stupid today....Then the nerve of the GOP saying they didn't want him at the convention....If I were Bush, I would tell all those hypocrites to go to hell.....the GOP really needs to come off their high horses and come down to reality.....they really look stupid.....of course they are really going to try to the defend this one....but as a democrat I urge other democrats to let them argue this out amongst themselves......the Bible tells us not to argue with fools.....

Misogyny much?

Freudian slip there, EML. Have you ever considered the possibility that you are a repressed homosexual?

Down's Syndrome is caused by the age of the mother's egg at conception. To imply that incest is at work is to be, well, republican.

May I ask wthwindham if you are able to share your source that states John McCain didn't know Sarah Palin's daughter was pregnant?

How terrible to rehash internet gossip about the governor's last born child. Have you no socialcultural standards of decency?

Also, for heavens sake, learn to post. As W. Somerset Maugham said, "To write simply is as difficult as to be good."

Palin's teenage daughter being pregnant is a disaster. McCain counted on her image as a reformer and a candidate for change. Instead, everyone will remember her as a failed mother.

Ronin8317, you take the name of a failed Samurai - I've been schooled by the best.True Samurai looked down on those that were masterless, save the ones that redeemed themselves.

Redemption comes through the satisfaction of merits. Who are we to judge future merits?

Governor Palin does show change. A change in attitudes that one shouldn't be condemned for bringing a life into the world.

Since I'm female and have a healthy, heterosexual sex-life, I think the only one who needs to consider anything is you. Maybe the problem is that you don't get any, straight or gay.

I feel he didn't know. Mother Wit is my source. It's what I feel and probably millions more. otherwise, again I say he would not have chosen her. Reports are saying he knew, but I beg the difer. I would not be surprised if Palin didn't find out about her daughter's pregnancy until after she was tapped. It was all done in attempt to gain votes from Hillary supporters. And please know that I am in not condeming Palin's daughter. I pray that the child rise above all this but I'm going to call it what it is. It's not about the daughter But the GOP are so quick to talk about the faults of others but then try to dress up their faults. At this point they have no other choice but to make this woman seem competent. Republicans just like everybody else have problems. But don't try to act like you are so holier than thou. I do not like what the party represent. They are about keeping the rich richer, keeping the poor poorer and we the middle class soaking up all the cost. that's one of the problems I have with them...

Well I FEEL he did know. Since that is what they are saying and I see no reason for them to lie. Children of canidates are off limits. I am amazed at the Obama supporters not respecting this, who could not even work for his campaign. This young lady has enough to deal with and I wish her and her fiance all the luck in the world. They are going to need it believe me.
