The Reps poster child for morality just hit a major roadblock...Young Bristol Palin broke up with her boy-toy....
Really, its kinda sad...but hope they can raise the kid together in stable environment...
Next up, VP Biden is going hutning with Dick Cheney...:cool:
I didn't think you were in favor the marriage. Now you're opposed to the breakup.
What's sad about two people who aren't married breaking up? And what in the world does it have to do with the governor of Alaska?

It's just one more example of how she LIED. I knew the story of her engagement was a fraud. It was orchestrated to make The Palin's look like the traditional all-American family. With the GOP so hooked on "family values", she had to say they were at least engaged. The whole engagement was a fraud perpetuated by the GOP and Sarah Palin. In my mind, she loses all credibility.
As for Bristol, I wish her luck and will pray for her. Despite her mistake, she has wisdom beyond her years. She's beautiful and bright and will someday make someone a good wife.
Where is your evidence for a lie? What gives you the right to presume to know Bristol's (or Sarah's) heart?

It was all a sham. I said that months ago. I told everyone here that the marriage would never take place. The Palin family put on quite a show at the GOP Convention. It didn't look or feel real then, and it doesn't now.
Despite the lies spoon fed to us, I harbor no ill will for either Sarah or Bristol. I admire them both in some ways, particularly Bristol. She has spoken out against unwed motherhood.

How is this whole topic anything other than gossip? Why is it our business if an 18-year old girl whom we've never met, and who's living over a thousand miles away from most of us got dumped by her fiance, or vice versa?

It's not gossip. Sarah Palin is not with her boyfriend anymore... that's fact. It's a fair topic as it was brought to the forefront by a political candidate.

THAT would be gossip! haha
I think the point here is we would be wise to adhere to the 8th commandment and not bear false witness here. You can surmise all day that it was a political ploy, but we do not know for a fact whether it was or not. Nobody is necessarily taking exception to your pointing the story out as Bristol broke up with her boyfriend Levi, but that you proclaim as fact that it was all a political ploy. Sadly I know of many cases far far far awayyyy from the limelight of politics where young people have gotten engaged and it ended or worse married and it ended. So they are not unique at all.

I don't understand how this topic cannot be fair game when we have threads like, "Why Obama is Immoral" where people make all kinds of speculations about him, his family, his faith, his beliefs.
As I've stated twice above, I admire Bristol for speaking out on the issue of unwed mothers. In that way, she is a good role model. My ONLY criticism is that from the beginning, the whole engagement appeared to be a sham so that the Palin's would be seen as wholesome by the family values voters.

Link me to the Obama is immoral topic and Ill post a reminder in there about the 8th commandment as well. Either way, cant justify slander because some other people slander.

Your conclusion presupposes facts which you have yet to prove. You have nothing to support your accusation except your feelings about a candidate from a political party you think is wrong.

I predicted this months ago. I don't think the GOP is wrong in every way. I think they do falsely promote family values, but do not live up to those same values. Again, I think Bristol Palin is a teen role model. I just think she was used by the GOP to promote the family values agenda.

How does "I predicted this" equate to hard fact? All anyone can prove is that something happened, not the motivation behind it. You may be able to argue for it, but a convincing argument will require more than "I said it was going to happen."
I'm not disagreeing that it's plausible, but I'm not about to push forth my suppositions as the undeniable true motivation, especially since I, and pretty much everyone not in the Palin's immediate circle, do not have access to most of the data that would prove a point either way.
As regards the "Obama is immoral thread" I think you will find many posters (myself included) in opposition to the premise of judging him immoral on the bases provided as well.

I said that the breakup was a hard fact, not my prediction.
What is not a hard fact is that the engagement was a sham. You and others believe Sarah intentionally manipulated her daughter for political gain, creating a sham engagement int he process. There's no proof (yet) offered of that.
Let me clarify: you disapprove of much of what the G.O.P. does and espouses (fake family values, how they treat the poor, etc).

At least twice, when someone has asked how you know that this was a sham and asked you to provide evidence, you have responded with "I predicted this" or "It was all a sham. I said that months ago." You may not have said it was a fact, but you have treated it as one.
To be semantic, I have no qualms about the existence of your prediction being a hard fact. And clearly the break up itself is a hard fact, as well, and is not in dispute. I don't even take issue with your theory that the engagement might have been a sham, however, you have not provided any kind of evidence that it was so. Explaining why it didn't look or feel real to you would help.
FWIW, this was NOT the statement to which I was referring:
It's not gossip. Sarah Palin is not with her boyfriend anymore... that's fact. It's a fair topic as it was brought to the forefront by a political candidate.
