If the roles were reversed, I wonder how much of a non issue this would be.

ETA: It's a non issue the same way Palin told us that her daughter's out of wedlock pregnancy was a non issue.

according to the link, Bristol is due Saturday...question is....is the wedding still on....?

Hmmm...

Barack Obama was accused of "palling around with terrorists" a claim never substantiated.

Sarah Palin's family can be accused of "palling around with druggies".

...wow.

I hope you realize how ridiculous this whole line of posting is, or that you're just trying to get a rise out of people. Otherwise, it's a bit odd how much anger there is behind your political posting.

Also, you can't (with any credibility) opine about how much of a "non-issue" something would be when you're the one making the issue out of this.

ETA: You may want to take a page from GeekyPenguin, nittanyalum, or any number of other posters who obviously feel passionately about the issues, but who have been able to participate in reasonable political discussion.

I am not the one who said it was a non issue.

I am being very reasonable BTW...sorry if I am pointing out a double standard that will be a sore and sensitive subject to some.

So yeah I am calling a spade a spade...


Palling around with terrorists?

Palling around with a druggie...

How is it a double standard? If it were Obama or Biden we were talking about, it would be an issue to some people. The fact that it is Palin is an issue to some people (including you). It's a double standard as to individual feelings on the issue, just as there is a double standard on most issues involving politicians.

Would you be posting the same things you're posting about Palin if it was Obama? If not, then you're guilty of a similar double standard.

Would you feel differently if it was Obama? Would you be posting the same things you're posting about Palin? If not, then you're guilty of the same double standard.
Funny part is...I wouldn't be the one posting it....think about it.

Leave it to somebody ike Phigam to do....

Remember, Palin tried to play the guilty by association card....this is doing nothing but circling back around and adding to the list of black marks....including Troopergate

Roles reversed? So if Malia was pregnant by a kid who's mom was a druggie?

Why bring Obama into this at all? This thread had NOTHING to do with Obama, and in fact had nothing to do with Sarah Palin either.

Her daughter is pregnant by someone who either he or his mom has drugs in the house using and or selling, your town is called the meth capital of the state and...did you forget she is GOVERNOR??

how do you NOT know these things about your future in laws???

Not everyone knows everything about their in laws, let alone their own families. HER DAUGHTER made the decision to get pregnant and get engaged to this guy. This has nothing to do with Governor Palin, nor does it have anything to do with her. She is associated with the lady's SON, not her.

Ahhh..we still don't know whose drugs (or what for that matter) it is now do we?

heck, I still think a red flag should have gone up when Levi opted to drop out of school among other things....moreso when "Mommy I m pregnant" came out in the Palin household.

When that happened I wonder if Sarah or hubby gave the Johnstons a thorough vetting process...heh

I know its sketch, but we all don't know the reason why he dropped out, so why not give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't want to be in a public school if everything like this was happening at once..imagine the ridicule he'd face. Maybe he's doing homeschooling or getting his GED?

Once again, parents have some control, but you can't watch your kids 24/7. It was her daughter's decision.

Not if your mom is abusing oxycontin:

Only think we can assume was it was her decision to have sex with him, getting pregnant and married...well..only they know.
